I used this throughout my first pregnancy when my skin had severe dry patches on my forehead and cheeks. This was great for smoothing out the skin, preventing blockages and giving my skin a more even tone. After my son was born I carried on using this as it was just the best!

I have tryed this product twice.. And twice i have given the product to a friend after a few uses...
I find this product to give your face a good exfoliating scrub which makes you feel super clean but also its a bit harsh on the face! Also i found that it breaks my skin out (My skin never breaks out).
Its a product i will not purchase again although it made my skin feel clean, it was too harsh for my skin!
Tips: I would only recommend using this product 1-2 a week not the recommend 3-4 days a week as it is a pretty harsh scrub.
I absolutely love this product! I first tried a sample of it due to having sensitive facial skin and it worked amazingly. Got rid of all my dry patches and left my skin looking amazing. i purchased a full size product and use it 1-2 times a week.
Tips: Use 1-2 times a week
A staple in my routine. I use this products a couple of times a week in the shower. The walnut provides a thorough exfoliation with the apricot moisturising. I find I need to be gentle when applying as it can be quite scratching if too much pressure used. When I have small bumps or uneven skin I use this and come out with a face as smooth as a baby's bottom! Definitely recommend.
This was my very first facial scrub I ever used and I recall thinking how wonderful it was! I bought this product when it was still the apricot/peach colored packaging as opposed to this plain white bottle we see today.
The scrub had a thick grainy consistency where you had to add a bit of pressure to squeeze the product out of the bottle. The actual scrub looked like a pasty porridge gone wrong but the smell was absolutely devine and quite frankly apricots don't smell THAT good!
I have sensitive skin and this probably wasn't the right facial scrub for me (which I didn't know at the time) because it was too harsh for my skin. It didn't hurt, but rather it was abrasive - bearable but still abrasive.
When I massaged the product onto my face you could feel the tiny grains moving against your skin. I felt that it did a good job at removing dead skin cells but for sensitive skin like mine I needed a more gentle scrub.
I would use this 3 times a week and anymore than that then I would risk having dry areas on my face which is quite unusual considering I have oily skin. I no longer use this product and instead I use an exfoliating cleanser that gets the job done without aggravating my skin.
so I have pretty oily skin that's not sensitive at all, so keep that in mind when I say I really do like this scrub. The exfoliating beads in this scrub are quite rough and abrasive, but as I said before, because my skin is not sensitive, I have absolutely no problem with that, and in fact, prefer it.
I use this religiously, every other day so I don't overdo it. The price point on this product is just fantastic, so cheap and so easily accessible.
Overall, I would recommend and repurchase!
This product is amazing! With the changes, my face also changes.. I always used to get random dry patches on my face especially around my nose areas, it would get real dry and crusty and using make up to cover it up just made it look even worse! So I bought this product and tried it out. It instantly made my face look nice and clean and it felt real smooth! I was quite surprised that something so affordable can do wonders for my skin! I have used this product ever since and it never disappoints! I like how coarse this product is because I know it's doing the job of getting all the dead skin off my face! My face feels squeaky clean and looks healthier after using this I only use this product maybe every two or three days depending on how my skin is that week, definitely wouldn't recommend using this product everyday :)
There is a pro and many cons. Yes it did make my face feel softer, as the beads literally scrubbed my layer of skin off. I used this a few years ago, everyday for a month. I now know better, and I use a gentle cleanser that doesn't feel like sandpaper.
love it! I own the acne prevention scrub and I use mine 2-3 times a week and even use it on my shoulders sometimes. It has quite a strong formula so after massaging into the skin i would rinse it straight off so it doesn't dry out your skin. It leaves a very smooth finish so my skin feels fresh and unclogged. I find that with this product less is more (only a small squeeze of the bottle is needed) which means the product lasts ten times longer.
i love this product it makes my face so clean and clear and i also find that it soften my skin best drugstore exfoliated ive ever used
Tips: the less you use is the best
