Great for face and body
-04.30.13
Quick Take: effective, smells good, good value
This is a great foaming scrub! It is a little rough, but sometimes you need a little grit! It is great for removing winter dry skin on my face. It is great for the shower! It is also such a reasonable price I don't feel bad using it as a whole body exfoliater.

Quick Take: smoothing, deep cleansing, exfoliating
one of the best daily exfoliating cleansers out there!! i wish this cleanser was actually sold in stores. though this cleanser feels rough to the touch, its gentle enough to use everyday. it cleans away any sign of dry/flaky skin, lathers up like a foam cleanser, and retextures the skin. it doesnt have your face feeling tight, it doesnt cause break outs, or irritations. i may sound to good to be true but its amazing!! i would recommend this it all skin types except for sensitive due to the exfoliants in it and it that case id say try the shiseido white lucent cleanser, next best thing.

Quick Take: non-irritating
Great product. Was afraid to purchase after seeing mixed reviews, but it's been working well for me so far. To help apply the product more evenly, I actually use a blush brush to lather in circles and apply a skin cream after I'm done. I only use it every few days, but I'm starting to see results already after just a couple of weeks.

Best exfoliating scrub I have ever used. It makes my skin feel very soft and smooth. It has rough texture so you don't need to scrub hard. I keep it in the shower and use it every morning!

Not worth it
-03.05.13
You guys, I fell for the packaging. Because that's all this really has going that elevates is over a much cheaper drugstore product. I have had it for a while and use it in the shower on my body -- if your skin is sensitive at all, I would not recommend this for the face.
It's not that it doesn't work, it's just that it isn't anything special. Except for the packaging. I says save your money.

yu-be awesome

This polish is perfect. Similar to St Ives in terms of texture but I love the scent and my face is definitely responding well. It's smoother and fewer blemishes. I will be purchasing again!

Still not sure......
-02.07.13
So, I bought this because I got a sample from Sephora..... and it is Asian-made - and what Asian doesn't have beautiful skin?? It's a lot more harsh than I thought. Mind you, I ended up buying the full size.....
Although, I still love it - it's hard to wash off, because of the "beads"....and I can only imagine using this once a week, because of the harshness. Err, maybe it was the way in which I used it.
I'm still going to keep it - because I think it does good when paired with the Yube moisturizer.....and I would still recommend buying it. Just be careful. :)

Two Thumbs Up

Quick Take: works, smells great, is gentle enough for the face
I really like this product because it does what it says. It exfoliates gently, it smells great, and it rinses off easily. I will purchase it again.
I have used it on my face and body and I am happy with the results of both.

I love this as my A.M. scrub. I use it every morning and it leaves my skin fresh and soft. This scrub is very gentle yet effective, however, I would not use it to remove make-up or around the eye area.

This stuff is the s***
-01.16.13
Quick Take: amazing
Exfoliates super well, doesn't break me out (which basically breathing does), and keeps my skin bright. PLEASE START CARRYING THIS IN STORES! I use this in conjunction with a Peter Thomas Roth glycolic face moisturizer and coconut oil for extra moisture (on alternating nights) and it works really well.

Quick Take: good pricing, excellent results
this product is cheap and comes with a big size. you can apply it to your face and body. I used it on my face and the abrasion is proper to remove dead skin which leaves the skin soft and clean. I purchased another tube immediately after.

Effective, yet gentle!
-12.05.12
I love this product! Works great to get my skin super clean during summer months when I'm more oily than normal. And good for Winter months when my skin is dry and needs some sloughing. I've also used it on my elbows.
It's a very multi-use product.

Sooo awesome!
-11.27.12
This face scrub delivers on it's promise of silky smooth skin!! After just 1 use I noticed a difference. My skin was soft, my blemishes & pores were smaller, it wasn't so abrasive that it caused irritation & my face was still hydrated! It doesn't smell the greatest because of the camphor in it, but once you rinse it off & dry your face the smell is gone. Wonderful product!

Great exfoliant, great value
-10.12.12
Quick Take: intensive, great value
I love this scrub. I use it primarily for my face, just because I felt like it would be wasteful if I used it on my body (even though the product is huge and 18 bucks for 7oz is a GREAT value). I use it in the shower and I can really feel it scrubbing away all the dead skin and makeup. And unlike other "scrubs", which are more just soap with a few beads in it, this one is actually thick, gritty, and intensive - and I mean all that in a good way.
So I'm not sure why many rated this as "gentle", because out of the many scrubs I've tried, it really isn't. If it was, it wouldn't be able to exfoliate as well as it does. To me, it's almost like a microdermabrasion in a bottle!
Also, regarding the smell, I would describe it as a bit medicinal with a hint of ginger, but that doesn't bother me at all.
