Fresh Soy Face Exfoliant

What it is:A natural, ultra-gentle exfoliator to resurface and refine the complexion. What it is formulated to do:The Soy Face Exfoliant from Fresh features a unique formula with an ultra-gentle form of natural microdermabrasion. Jojoba, rose hip, and cucumber seeds gently resurface the complexion while soy proteins revive the skin and encourage cell turnover. Together they work to delicately eliminate dead cells and instantly reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. Calming cucumber extract and softening vitamin E further enriches the formula. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates- Synthetic Fragrances- Synthetic Dyes - Phthalates- GMOs- Triclosan What else you need to know: This product is extra gentle and ideal for all skin types. "In the early nineties, there was a buzz about the health benefits of soy, but no one was exploring its effects on the skin. We found that it is highly rich in amino acids, which help with cell turnover and introduced soy to the beauty market in 1999." Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, Fresh Founders Research results: After an independent consumer testing panel used Soy Face Exfoliant (in-vivo test, 31 subjects, used three times a week for four weeks): - 97% noticed it immediately smoothed and softened their skin and had a purifying effect - 94% reported that it enhanced cell turnover and improved the skin's surface - 90% felt it brightened the skin, minimized the appearance of pores, removed dry patches, retexturized the skin, and visibly improved the overall appearance of their complexion.

Not sure yet - 3rd week into using the product
-03.24.13
I am in the middle about this product, not sure if I should keep it or not. It did break me out in the beginning, I am still in the trial process. I will see if I should keep it or not. Nothing so amazing about it. I will see.

Smooth skin
-03.07.13
This is the only exfoliant i trust for my sensitive skin! It feels super luxurious when applied to the face and once its washed off with warm water your skin is left feeling incredibly soft and plump. The next day, your makeup goes on incredibly well. For my sensitive skin, i use it once a week, but a lady that worked at sephora told me she uses it everyday. So to each their own. but my suggestion would be to not over exfoliate if your skin is prone to sensitivity.

Love this product!
-03.04.13
This exfoliator has been a miracle for me! Especially for my nose! I was breaking out really bad last year and had two major pimples on my nose from my skin being so oily. It was very traumatizing to have to go out in public! I started using this product and noticed a huge difference right away! My nose is so clean and smooth now. I use the product every day on my nose and every other day on my face. I feel it helps keep it clear and gets rid of all of the oil and dirt built up. Also I love that it doesn't contain as many chemicals as other products! It's a bit pricey but definitely worth it!!

I have very sensitive skin so not a big fan of exfoliants, in general, but this one is great. Feels great on my skin. Smells fantastic. I have no redness after using this product. Will definitely continue using this product and recommend to anyone with sensitive skin.

Loving the results!
-02.19.13
Quick Take: deep cleaning, brightening
I love to use a scrub at least 2 times a week and am very satisfied by how quickly I am noticing a difference in my skin! I am sensitive but I love a deep clean and this is exactly what this scrub gives me. My face feels softer and brighter right after using! The price is totally worth it because you don't need to use it more than 3 times a weeks and the tube is huge so I am expecting it to last me for a while. This is definitely a new beauty staple for me!

I like this, but was expecting to love it based on reviews. I was therefore disjointed. I found the product to be hard and difficult to get out of the tube. This was not a stand out in my opinion.

Gentle, but does the job of exfoliating
-02.06.13
Quick Take: gentle, natural, exfoliates
This product does what it claims to do--exfoliate gently. If rougher products are too harsh for you, I recommend this product. You can definitely tell it is soy-based from the scent! No perfume to cover that up, so if you like edamame, this is definitely for you.

GREAT Exfoliant, Non-Drying, Overly Large Tube
-01.02.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, exfoliating
A Sephora associate insisted I take a sample of this because I was buying the soy cleanser (which is also great.) The sample lasted 2 weeks and I bought the full size right after. I use it after a gentle cleanser 2-3 times a week and it feels like a mini-facial. I find it's less harsh than other exfoliating products I've used, and my face feels nicely moisturized afterwards.
My only quibble is that I think the tube size is way too big. It's expensive and too big for carry-on. Since you only need to use a small amount a few times per week it will last pretty much forever. I'm worried mine will go bad before I'm done with it! Would love this in a 1.7 oz like the soy cleanser, for half the price!

Quick Take: wonderful
I found this product to be a gentle yet effective exfoliator. It is grainy enough to do a good job of exfoliating, yet doesn't irritate my skin.

Favorite exfoliator
-12.11.12
This is the only exfoliator that actually leaves my face feeling smoother. I use it 1-2 times a week on my face and neck (where my skin tends to have a rougher texture), and that's all I need. On in between days I use the soy face cleanser. Fresh is not my preferred brand for all products, but they have sold me on their cleansers.

Very Effective Yet Gentle
-12.05.12
I've used other facial scrubs, and my face would end up red afterwards (no matter how gently I rubbed my face). This product has super-fine particles, which may explain the lack of irritation. ... This product has also gotten rid of the 'post-scrub' flakiness, too. So far, I'm loving this stuff!

YOU NEED THIS ADD ON
-11.30.12
Quick Take: gentle, sand like, smoothing
Most exfoliants that include "beads" have a larger range texture to it. This exfoliant is more like sand, haven't you heard sand is good to get dead skin off the heels of your feet? It's good for your face! It's so gentle yet thorough just like the cleanser what a great pair! If you're feeling like your makeup isn't looking too smooth or it looks heavy; EXFOLIATE PEOPLE! So amazing for every single type of skin, it is absolutely not drying or harsh. Even though it is gentle you still only want to use it once a week. Again, a great add on to any soy product!

Extremely satisfying
-11.28.12
I am a big fan of the fresh soy face products in general even though they are kind of expensive they definately deliver. The exfoliant delivers just as well. My skin feels smooth and clean afterwards. Just a heads up though the feeling can become addicting! ; )

Top-notch, but gentle, exfoliant
-11.27.12
Quick Take: amazing.
The only reason I am not giving this five stars is because of the tube design. Argh. Sometimes it is really hard to get the exfoliant out of the tube. However, the PRODUCT itself is great. Gentle for sensitive skin, it leaves my face feeling truly ready for anything. I really feel as if it wipes away a week's worth of stress in just a few minutes. Perfect pairing with the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser. I use them both and have had excellent results. The only brand I can use without doing damage to my skin. Highly recommend this product.

SOY FACE EXFOILIANT FAN!
-11.10.12
Quick Take: gentle, exfoliating, worth it's price
I don't just on a whim go and purchase products for my face. I read about it. What I love about Sephora is that I was given a sample of this at a visit a couple of weeks before I came back and bought it. This exfoliant is gentle on my skin but it packs a punch on resurfacing & refining my complexion.

soy face exfoliant
-10.08.12
I really haven't used this product long enough to see any results. It's only been just over a week. What I like, is how it feels. It feels like it's doing a good job without scratching my skin. I do feel fresh faced after use. the smell however is not nice. I have to mix it with my cleanser to dilute the smell.
