Pretty good! This scrub is made with a mix of pineapple and papaya acids, and with the added benefits of jojoba oil and aloe. Completely vegetarian. Upon first application this does string, and I...

Found this at WINNERS. The package was decently cute.. it smelt wonderful. I like how the little "beads" weren't too hard and felt nice on my skin.

Pro: Smells good and it does its job. Scrub beads are gentle and not harsh. Con: the tube is too tiny and you run out of it quick. I would still repurchase it.

I did not like this scrub. I heard about how bad microbeads in scrubs were so bad for the environment that I started looking for something else. This burned my face so bad it took a week to recover...

This scrub exfoliates nicely, in a gentle way, but it's got 2 big deal-breakers for me: first, it leaves a bit of a film behind on my skin, which means I have to wash it off with soap, and second,...

A waste of $9. Does nothing for my face. I just use it in the morning to smell it and then rinse and wash with my regular facial cleanser. I won't be repurchasing.

UPDATE: I'm feeling mehhh about it now. It never really did any magic for me but I still use when I want a little exfoliation done. I don't usually venture off too much when I find a skin...

I like this scrub a lot. It smells wonderful. It feels so good to apply this to the face that I just wanted to continue scrubbing nonstop. In the past I had used the St. Ives apricot scrub, and...

I really wanted to like this scrub, because it smells so good, it's natural and cruelty free. But after using it for about a week, it made the blackheads on my nose, forehead and cheeks...

Nice smell and thats pretty much it. No results, and I have to use a face wash after this because it doesn't feel clean.

Honestly, I wanted to love this scrub. It is organic and it smells absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, I just do not see the results with this. The little exfoliating pieces are not large enough...

This was ok. But sometimes after I wash it off, my face feels tight, which is why I rated it a three. Other than that it was pretty good. It smelled nice, it came in a cute oval bottle. I would...

I LOVE this face scrub! I don't think the scrubbing particles in it are rough at all ( like the crushed, sharp feeling walnut shells in St. Ives Apricot scrub) and I love how it incorporates fruit...

I think this might be my HG facial scrub! I've only been using it for a few weeks but it's everything I've been looking for in an physical exfoliant (and I've tried many over the years). Before...
