1. Dr Lewinn's Facial Polishing Gel
RATED: 4.6/5!
Beauty Review Member tabucutie says: Using this product felt like I was pampering myself. My skin felt gently cleansed and cared for. I also noticed a visible reduction in the black heads on my nose which I was really impressed with.
2. Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub
RATED: 4.4/5
Beauty Review Member glitzygurl says: Gentle but does the job. Smells really nice and you only need to use a small amount. Love that it’s made from natural ingredients and doesn’t dry out my skin.
3. St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub
RATED: 4/5!
Beauty Review Member JennyD61 says: I like this facial scrub, it’s gentle on the skin and leaves it feeling fresh and clean. Unlike other facial scrubs for similar price it doesn’t irritate my skin. Love the beautiful smell and packaging. Great product for a reasonable price.
4. Trilogy Gentle Facial Exfoliant
RATED: 4.5/5
Beauty Review Member Jordynpom says: I have recently just discovered this facial exfoliant and I am in love! I have sensitive skin so it’s hard to find something that will do the job and not cause my skin to go crazy. But the gentle exfoliant leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth afterwards.
5. Oasis Beauty Fruit Smoothie Exfoliating Mask
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member Mumof3Munchkins says: I really love this product. It feels so good, and smells heavenly, so much so that it took extreme willpower to not eat it. My skin felt super soft after using it and I feel it has helped clear up my skin.
6. St. Ives Even and Bright Pink Lemon and Mandarin Orange Scrub
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member Skibunny says: Here’s why I’m giving this product five stars: it smells divine, it’s not harsh on the skin, and it leaves my skin feeling divinely smooth and renewed.
7. St Ives Oatmeal Face Scrub and Mask
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member Hayleigh-Jane says: This product can be used as a mask or scrub. I've used it as both and was happy with the outcome. After using it as a scrub, I find my skin appears calmer and not so patchy, and after the mask it is clear, calm and soft.
8. essano Rosehip Exfoliator
RATED: 4.2/5
Beauty Review Member lisafinlay says: I have bought this product a couple of times now and love it! It has such a creamy, luscious consistency and leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturised afterwards.
9. St Ives Blemish Control Scrub
RATED: 4.1/5
Beauty Review Member Tinadixon says: I use this one all the time. Leaves my skin fresh and clean, gets rid of black heads and acne. This is a great scrub for every day use and for normal skin. It doesn’t dry you out.
10. St Ives Green Tea Blackhead Clearing Scrub
RATED: 4.1/5
Beauty Review Member emmag says: I love the way my skin felt so much smoother after the first use - the results are pretty much instant. After use, I found that foundation went on a lot cleaner. There was no need to moisturize as the scrub left my skin feeling dewy.
The essano and Skinfood scrubs are great, also Sukin and Glow Lab.
