I was a little scared when I first used this scrub. As other reviewers have stated, the grain is HUGE. It's kind of awkward as I'm used to facial scrubs that are more fine, but I think the best way...

This scrub is more aggressive than other exfoliants I have previously used but I like it. I apply to wet skin and rub very gently over my face. Sometimes I'll leave it on for a minute to let the...

I did not enjoy this product very much. The texture is very rough as the grains in it are large pieces...I think I prefer a finer milled scrub or one that is synthetic and 'round' so that it...

My new favorite scrub. This gives me the same super smooth results as Exfolikate/Kate in a Jar but without all of the lingering redness I get w/ KS. A nice mix of manual and enzyme exfoliation. I...

Smells good, feels OK, but way, way too expensive as with all Arcona products.

OMG. Total flashback to the 70s with that really ouchy apricot scrub with the cracked husks. This smells good--like lemons, but couldn't stand the feel of this scrub. I prefer the more gentle...

I love this exfoliant. It's gentle and gives me a beautiful healthy glow everytime I use it. It's non-drying either. The trick is to use it in the shower. I found that the beads in it spread more...

this can be a great mask/scrub, but for sensitive types that means only if used very sparingly, like once a week. i've got very sensitive skin, and, like another poster above, the first 2 weeks i...

I love this facial scrub. It is grainy, but I use gentle circular movements and it treats my skin great. The jar is awkward, but I love the smell and the silky results I get from using it. I use...

At first, I wasn't too sure about this product b/c of the negative reviews, but I think it's actually working well for my normal/oily skin. I thought the creamy consistency would be too clogging...

Too grainy and sore to rub on face. Nice scrub, but it's like every other scrub out there.

This is an exfoliater that smells like oatmeal. This felt like jagged rocks on my face. Also, it smelled too earthy for me. Plus, it left a film on my face. Yuck!!!
