I could see results with this product after the first use. My skin instantly looked and felt so much smoother and softer. It looks as though my pores are reduced and my skin is glowing.

Meh
Not really very exfoliating.
Great everyday scrub
I love this scrub and it has become my new fave! Scrubby enough to buff away dead skin and dirt, but gentle enough to use daily. It has done wonders for my acne prone and sensitive skin!

It's a nice scrub. I gave it 4 out of five because I think it's a bit overpriced.
Too harsh

Skin Type Oily
I received this as a sample and found that it was a little too harsh. My face actually hurt and started to flake so much immediately after using. However I will say that at the time when I used this, my skin was damaged and sensitive to certain products. My skin is much happier now but if you have sensitive skin I wouldn't recommend. Instead MB has a more gentle Strawberry or Kiwi Exfoliating Scrub that I currently use and it's amazing!
