I've purchased this facial scrub a couple of times to use in the shower and have quite liked it. I love the smell in the morning, refreshing and sweet. Although it's only very cheap I find that it does purify my skin and get rid of dead cells and dirt leaving my skin feeling smooth, clean and soft. It's quite gritty so you don't need to rub it too hard to get the effect of the exfoliating beads. You also don't need much as the formula is quite thick, so a little goes a long way! My skin is normal so I'm not sure if this would be suitable for more sensitive or dry skin types, but it worked well on me.

I do like to use a more expensive and tailored product but the budget doesn't always allow. St Ives was my first foray into exfoliation and it's still my number one inexpensive go-to choice. It is a bit coarse compared to the more expensive options.
Best used in the shower and just once (or maybe twice) a week.
Tips: This one really does what it says so gently does it pressure wise when rubbing over the skin - especially on the cheeks.
Sadly this product makes me break out! I love the exfoliation factor but something in it reacts badly. I use a face clothe but find the beads stick around. In saying all this its good value for the money you pay.a little goes a long way!!
Tips: Rinse very very veerry well!
I used to use this alot before I really tried out more skin care prodcuts, but don't reach for it much anymore. It is quite a harsh scrub and you can feel it scraping. It does leave the skin feeling really soft, but I would say it is more a once a week scrub if you have dry flaky skin that you need to get rid or, rather than an everyday or 3/4 times a week scrub.
Tips: I would recommend using water to 'splash' (rinse) this off your face -as I found using a face cloth just rubbed the grains around my face and didn't remove it all.
This is a 'physical' exfoliant where you really can feel it scrubbing off the dry layers of skin. It is one I would not choose to use any more as it seems quite harsh for my face (although I love using it on my legs occasionally).
Tips: Only use very light pressure and avoid if you have sensitive skin.
When I first used this I had an exfoliating glove on aswell as using this. I dont recomended doing that as you can reaally feel it taking of the dry skin even with out a glove. I do love this product just dont use it everyday. It did everything ot said it would and smelt amazing
Tips: Use every 3rd or so day as it takes off a lot of dry skin. Dont use an exfoliating glove with it :) it can leave yoyr legs red if you apply roughly but otherwise its amazing
I love this scrub for my body but i find it too rough for my face. I haven't got any at the moment but find my exfoliating gloves do just as good of a job and much cheaper since you buy one pair and they last for ages. I would probably only use it on my face about once or twice a month, i prefer finer grains for a face exfoliant.
I have used this product in the past after being given it, and i would not re-purchase for myself. It is delightful smelling and creamy, but i feel the exfoliating beads are far too rough for use on the face even with light pressure.
I use this product 3-4 times a week. My face feels silky smooth afterwards. I love it. I think that it is very well priced and does a better job than many higher priced scrubs. I also use it on my legs once a week in the summer, it does a great job, better than any body scrub! It is a good preparetion for a tan.
I use this scrub a couple of times a week. It has a pleasant mild fragrance, and gives an effective cleanse without being too harsh, like I find some scrubs can be. Given it's one of the cheapest skin care ranges available, I find this product extremely good value.
