Skin Feels Smoother
-06.15.13
I use this as any other person uses a scrub, but I do not think it lives up to all of its claims. It does make my skin feel smoother, but it does not clear away my blackheads. I think it is a good scrub, and I have not found a better one. I think it may be a bit harsh for sensitive skin, but I personally like the way it tingles on my skin. I use it twice a day, morning and night. I think the price may be a bit much, but I do like it.

It works!!
-06.05.13
gentle yet effective and minty refreshing. leaves skin feeling moisturized and clean. not as harsh as the nutrogena scrub I had been using before. I am in love with how well this refreshes my facial skin. I use three times a week and follow up everyday with all clinique facial care products. this stuff is non irritating on my very senstive skin!!

Perfect
-06.01.13
I love this scrub. I use it about twice a week focusing on my forehead nose and chin. I use it sparingly on my cheeks because it is rough. I do have sensitive skin but used this way I've only had positive results. It leaves a tingling sensation that I love.

The best
-05.28.13
I have oily acne prone skin. Lucky me. I use this every morning and have for years now. It really helps to remove dead skin cells and keep my pores clear, reducing my break outs. I little bit goes a long way. It's a staple in my shower. Gentle enough, but effective.

Great Scrub for Oily Skin
-05.27.13
Quick Take: strong, softening
I have very oily skin, and it has been that way since I was a teenager. I have tried ever scrub on the market from drug stores to more expensive lines, and really this is one I will use for a long time because it feels like it is working. For some it may be strong, but my skin needs it. I am not sure about all the claims it makes of reducing wrinkles/lines and deflaking skin, but it does feel like it is smoothing my skin. It is not too expensive for how much you need, and I use it every morning and night. I think it is worth the cost because you only need a little. Give it a try!

Best scrub
-05.16.13
Clinique has been the best for my skin. I have been using the makeup and facial wash for a year now and bought this scrub a week ago. And I love it. Makes my skin soft and clear from break outs. And my face just glows after I use it. Best scrub I've ever had.

Works great
-05.15.13
This scrub does everything it says it will. It's gentle enough for me to use twice a week. It leaves your face feeling fresh with an awesome tingly minty feeling. I have dry skin and this doesn't leave my skin feeling dried out even though it's meant for oily skin.

Best exfoliator for the price!
-05.15.13
I go through a couple tubes of this a year. I have no complaints about it, especially not the price! One tube lasts several months.
I prefer this over Clinique's "7 day exfoliating scrub", which i found was meant to be used every day (it has less exfoliating beads in it so it's not as effective on a single use), whereas this product does a great job exfoliating when you need it.
It gives a cool tingly sensation after you use it, which is nice. I use it about 3 times a week, and it really does the trick. My skin is very prone to breakouts but I have never had a problem with this product.
At the price it's offered I will never switch exfoliators. I've used a lot of different (and more expensive!) exfoliators but in my opinion nothing beats this.

Best Exfoiator Ever
-05.14.13
I've pretty much tried every exfoliating product - from drug store to more expensive, department store type products. I must say I'm very, very happy with Clinique Exfoliating Scrub. Heck, I don't usually provide reviews! But, I had to for this scrub. I'm on my 5th tube. You won't be sorry.

Great Exfoliator
-05.14.13
Quick Take: cooling, refreshing, exfoliating
I love using this in the shower in the mornings. After experiencing the cooling effect from this scrub, I feel awake and like I can take on the day! I alternate between this and ExfoliKate in a given week. It always leaves my face feeling a smooth, and I don't feel like the grains are too harsh or abrasive. Definitely a staple in the shower.

I LOVE THIS STUFF
-05.11.13
Quick Take: perfect
Clinique Exfoliating Scrub is absolutely incredible. It does exactly what it's supposed to without drying out my skin or irritating it. I have sensitive, fair, combination skin, and this works wonders with improving my complexion by getting rid of old skin so my face is left smooth, soft, clean, and glowing. This is the only face scrub I use, and I love love love it.

Harsh if you have dry or sensitive skin
-05.07.13
Quick Take: irritating cleansing harsh
This exfoliator is very harsh on my skin, I can't use it more than once per week and I have to rub very very gently or my skin will become red and blotchy looking, albeit soft and smooth. I never use it in the morning for this reason. I have dry/dry combination skin so this might be fine for those with normal or oily complexions. I've found the clinique 7 day scrub does a better job of improving skin texture and tone, clearing acne, and not drying out or irritating my skin.

SMOOTH & RADIANT
-05.04.13
Quick Take: refreshing, effective, value priced
I have used this scrub forever because it makes all my flakes disappear without leaving a greasy mess. I use
Retin-A micro gel and in the winter will randomly get flaky patches. This scrub knocks them out and is a bargain compared to other brands.
