Expensive but worth the price!
-04.09.13
Quick Take: fast acting, powerfully good
This is the clearest example of paying for the quality.
I know it's expensive, however, I received a sample with my purchase in the past and it was one of the greatest, fast working exfoliators I've ever used. I definitely want to get a whole bottle when I can.

Love it

Quick Take: exfoliating smoothing softening
I received 3 samples of this so I was able to use it a few times. I absolutely love it. I am always looking for the next best thing to make my skin perfectly smooth, soft and flawless for my make up application and this is it. You do not need a lot of this at all. I use it after the shower when my pores are nice and open and my skin is still wet. My skin is fair/light and mildly sensitive; however this product did not irritate my skin. I used my serum and Dr. Perricone moisturizer directly after washing this off and 30 minutes later my skin is amazing. My skin never feels this soft when I put on just my serum/moisturizer. Love this and will be investing in the full size product for my nights out and special occasions :)

AWESOME!
-03.06.13
I was looking for a cleanser that would leave my skin feeling "clean". This is it! After my first try, my skin is softer, pores smaller and the more I use it, the more I love it. Well worth the investment!

Good but expensive
-01.28.13
Quick Take: brightening, effective, non-irritating
I got a few samples of this from the lovely ladies at Sephora and while I found it a really wonderful exfoliating scrub - gentle and effective and it left my skin feeling really wonderful - I balked at the price. I finally caved and purchased the small sized tube (basically what you would get as a freebie sample or GWP from most other companies!) and while I love the results, I have since found another product with very similar ingredients and results that are at least as good as those from Exfolicate. If this were less expensive, I would continue to use it but while the results are really lovely, I just fine the price still isn't justified.

Kate Somerville rocked it with this!
-10.29.12
I received a sample before heading to Jamaica in Sept. and I used a little bit only to find my skin beautifully cleansed and refreshed afterwards. I used every last drop of that sample and headed back to Sephora for more as soon as we returned home. The smell is fab and the results even more so! Try it! You'll see...

WOWOWOWOW!
-10.20.12
Quick Take: exfoliating, brightening, tightens pores
A sales assistant gave me a free sample of this exfoliant when she noticed that my skin tends to flake in the T-zone when applying makeup. I wasn't expecting much, as exfoliants typically don't seem to do much for my skin, but this product has made a convert of me. The product immediately started tingling on my skin when I put it on and I saw results immediately after washing it off. My skin looks brighter, my pores are tighter, flaking is minimized and my skin feels so clean!! Bonus: smells like cinnamon and citrus!

Pretty good

This is an effective exfoliator but not for sensitive skin. Also, the scent is a bit odd - kind of medicinal cinnamon.

Love.
-09.07.12
If you can't go for a peel at a spa(which I rec. getting) then doing an at home treatment like this is good 1-2 week. It's AHA ingredients help exfoliate. It's a bit strong for some more sensitive types, def not as strong as a peel..but its really good. I love it and use this a couple times a week and I've seen improvement in blemishes very quickly and smoother skin. Great product, a bit overpriced I think but it is good, I'll prob buy again.

NOT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
-09.07.12
Quick Take: effective, intensive, irritating
I received a sample packet of this which DID NOT claim on the packet was "not for sensitive skin". The product is amazing but it irritated my skin and burned around my nose area. You almost feel that its tugging at your skin and you notice an immediate difference which I loved. Online it does claim to not be for sensitive skin. They should re-package the sample packets because someone else could have a much worse experience
