I felt like this product was awesome while I was in the shower. Then when I got out it kind of made my face really dry. Otherwise I had the radiant glow and my face was nicely exfoliated. I find some of the beads a little too scratchy, especially if you have sensitive skin. Otherwise a really good product!

Tips: Make sure your face really is wet before applying, as if it isn't it feels like sandpaper!
I really enjoyed the apricot scent of this product and it does what it says it should. In fact, I found this product so effective that it dried out my face too much, even if I only used a small amount every now and then. So you know what? I used it as a body exfoliant instead and it works perfect!
Tips: Also give this a go on any rough parts of your body such as your heals. It's multi-purpose!
By putting a small amount on my hand and gently massaging into my face it leaves it soft and smooth. It has a lovely apricot scent which I love, not too overpowering. I prefer to use this often rather than the couple of times a week like beauticians, etc tell you to use it. Forgive me if I am wrong but it has natural exfoliating beads in it instead of the plastic beads you normally get in other exfoliators which pollute our water. It can be quite harsh on skin so you should only use it twice a week as it is scrubbing off the dead skin and you do not want to be scrubbing off more that just your dead skin. My friend who is a beauty therapist however has told me that you should not use this as it is too harsh for your skin and if you do to only use it once or twice a week max. I still enjoy it but there is probably a better product out there for me but probably comes at a cost.
As a tween/teen this was my first an only scrub I loved it an only ever used this one but with the change in my skin I changed but I loved the grainy feel it has
Tips: use with exfoliating gloves once a week for a amazing fresh feeling
This cleanser is really good ! leaves skin really soft. didnt really exfoliate my bumps off but helped a little bit :)
I found this product to be a little harsh on my face. It certainly left me feeling squeaky clean, but I felt it was too abrasive for regular use. That could just be because my skin was to sensitive for the product though! A week or so after I had retired it from my routine I had myself a spa night. I had noticed that my feet were getting nasty dry callouses, and all the moisturising in the world wasn't helping. So I tried the scrub on my feet. It was amazing! Afterwards my moisturiser soaked in better, and my feet felt all smooth and soft like freshly shaved legs!
Tips: Use this on your feet to soften and smooth out callouses and cracks!
To use from time to time leaves the skin soft and smooth. I use it before a good or expensive treatement, to get the skin clean and exfoliated, ready to absorb a deeper treatement.
Tips: Use some warm/hot water when rinsing to help removing it. Not to use too often. Would recomend once per week maximum.
I quite like this body scrub and have purchased it a few times over the years. It has a delicious apricot smell and makes the skin on your face feel fresh after each use. It's easy to apply and you don't need to use a whole lot. It lasts quite awhile with daily use. It exfoliated my skin well and made my skin feel fresher. In my opinion, it's a great scrub to use a couple of times a week and it's affordable. This scrub definitely ticks the boxes for me.
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 feel like this product has a natural feel to it, i don't know whether its due to the packaging or the actual product but it doesn't make my skin inflammed, it actualy did bring my pimples down. Its a good size for the price and I would use it again. the only thing that worries me are other people reviews on the actual ingredients that go inot the product. if you want to know more just ask google and it will come up with numerous answers. it worked for me but i'd be hesitant in reccommending it just because the after affects of others, i wouldn't want that to happen by my word.
Tips: read up on the products ingredients before you invest.
