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.
I bought this, and i thought it did a very great job with getting my make up off. BUT the beads are way too big, and if you keep massaging it into your skin too much, then your skin starts to feel quite raw and sore. I will keep using it, only because it is good value for price, and i still have quite a bit left.
