I can't find this product on Origin's website, so perhaps it has been discontinued. Pity, because it was a really nice, soft exfoliator that should be kept far, far away from the eyes. Swept Away...

I wasn't too impressed with this. In fact I almost took it back. I probably would have but getting to the store with 4 kids is such a hassle! It doesn't do any damage such as breakouts or drying...

I love this scrub. This is my HG scrub actually. I was so surprised that it didn't break-out my sensitive skin. I find if I use it about 3 days a week (in the shower so I can rinse it all off) I...

This exfoliator feels very gentle on my sensitive skin, but I can still feel the Jojoba beads sloughing away the bad stuff on my skin, which is nice =D. I just squeeze a small dollop (smaller than...

This product is very gentle and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. But i prefer the brightening scrub from origins over this because it feels like I need less of that to get the scrubbing effect....

this stuff isn't as bad as some make it out to be. it isn't harsh, which is good, and it does make my face slightly brighter and smoother, which is also nice. what i liked was how much better my...

Does anyone else think this is the exact same thing as Kohl's Good Skin Polished skin Gentle Exfoliator? They are both owned by Estee Lauder and they feel exactly the same to me (ugh-both...

Despite the fact that the scrubbing granules in this product are gentle, my skin got extremely irritated. My face turned beet red and actually hurt after I used this stuff. Maybe I'm just allergic...

I really liked this stuff.It was extremely gentle on my skin and didn't cause any breakouts.Definately worth it if you're looking for a good exfoliator that's also very gentle.

This is very mild as a scrub; I have others that do much more for my face (like LUSH Ocean Salt -- my HG). However, because this is so mild, I like using it as a cleanser at night. It takes off my...

Eh- this scrub was so-so. It did it's job gently, but it was almost like no matter how much water I put on my skin I just could not get all the granules off. For the price I won't repurchase. I...

Pretty average product. It was what I hoped st. Ives gentle apricot scrub would be. While the Saint Ives scrub had very few exfoliating beads and was nearly impossible to rinse off, Swept away...

I think I've found my HG in a scrub. I've tried Prescriptives scrub and it was too creamy for me. Then I tried the H20 scrub, and I didn't feel that it was quite doing it's job. Then I found this....

This is my new favorite scrub. I was addicted to a BBW scrub that was discontinued and have been searching ever since for a suitable replacement. My skin is pretty sensitive, but I am able to use...

Terrible. Really made my chin break out, which had been clean for months. Glad it was only a swap, but I'm using this brand again. Nothing's worse than a product-induced breakout!

I loved that this came in a tube, unlike the crappy Never a Dull Moment, but it didnt really DO anything for me. At all. The scrub granules are too smooth to really get all the flakies and didnt...

I don't understand how Origins can claim this won't rub "even the most sensitive skin the wrong way." I generally don't react badly to face scrubs but this stung! I do have semi-sensitive skin...
