At the beginning I used this after cleansing but have since started using this and then cleansing, reason why is the main exfoliating ingredient is hard to wash away every single little bit, however because you wash it off then cleanse then wash that off you don't get left with the odd escape exfoliate pumice(I think that's what it's called). I have combo-dry skin and this doesn't dry my skin out more which is great

This scrub is pretty much the only scrub I ever use now because of how much it has improved my skin. My skin now is by no means clearer or poreless but it has definitely helped removed pesky bumps when they show up. I rarely ever have to use spot treatments because if I ever get a spot I will use this face scrub and it will most likely be gone within 3 days. It is a very harsh scrub so be careful not to rub to hard otherwise it could potentially cause damage or redness to appear.
Tips: Use once a day at most
As well as smelling amazing and belong extremely affordable ($9-$14) this product really does work. My skin is naturally oily and i have very pimple prone skin. I started using this about 4 months ago and i have definitely noticed a difference! this exfoliation in this product is insane! it feels soo good on my skin and gets ride of any dry and dead skin off my face before bed! i also have rather bad blackeads and this product seemed to reduce my pores and clear my skin. i love it
Tips: you dont need much product
This is a good scrub but it is just too harsh for my skin, I find it dries it out which is not good as I already have really dry skin, would be great for oily and normal skin, have switched to Skinfood scrub which suits much better.
The packaging is misleading, it insinuates that apricot kernel is the exfoliator, when really it is walnut shells. This product exfoliates very well, but it can be too well. It is not so good for delicate skin and I only used it if I had a very flaky patch which I needed to get rid of. After a month or two, I noticed a bad smell when using it, like mould or fermentation, and I had to throw it out.
I currently use this face wash once a week and have been using it for the last few months. The beads are quite big and rough which definitely helps with exfoliating but if you use a heavy hand too much it may scratch your skin so be mindful of that. Personally i wouldn't re purchase just because i like my exfoliaters to be a bit less harsh and for the beads to be micro sized, but i just had to try this out as it is insanely cheap and I've heard good reviews from other people. Really i think its all about personal preference with this! Its worth a try!
Tips: Use a soft hand as the beads are quite big and dense so you can scratch your skin too much if you are too rough
i have moved in new Zealand since 2009 and this first scrub i have bought it. i found is just normal scrub nothing any special or miracle. be gentle when you scrub on face otherwise you will damageyour skin surface. its come in nice tube pack and handy too. i use this on body too. good body scrub
Tips: be gentle on face
This is my go to face scrub for when I don't want to fork out too much on skincar and also feels like my face is in need of a good tough exfoliate.
Tips: The less water the deeper the exfoliate.
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!
It smelt nice, but it wasn't for my skin it hurt and felt raw when applying ( I have very scentive skin)
Tips: Don't reccomend for scentive skin
