Hear me out girls!
I used this product on a daily basis for years and thought it was amazing, until I went for post secondary schooling and received a diploma in Medical Aesthetics/Skin Care Specialist.
I would never, never, never buy it again and here is why:
The grains in this scrub are WAY too rough for your face. Although many of you who suffer from oily skin, many pimples/blackheads or blemishes in general think that this product works great, I know otherwise.
While it is believed that this product is good for removing oil, it also removes the good oils from our skin leaving it fragile, unprotected, raw, and therefore prone to comedones (pimples/blackheads etc). Although you may not see this with a naked eye, a trained professional can see the damage that using this causes. So while it is currently working for preventing acne, it is actually doing more harm than good (which you will be able to see in time). This abrasive scrub is hurting us, not helping us and. It also contains lots of alcohol which is extremely drying. It dries your skin out and dehydrates it (two different things. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN have oily skin that is dehydrated. Dry skin is a lack of oil while dehydrated skin is caused by lack of water). I am not a girl who only uses natural products, so I am not biased.
TIP: Go see your skin care therapist to discover your skin type/conditions and have them recommend products accordingly, professional products such as Dermalogica (worth the price difference). After using the right product for a couple months and your skin has had time to adjust, you will see a massive difference. I promise you will never go back, what do you have to loose? Give it a try!
In addition, you can download an app called Think Dirty and scan barcodes on beauty products in stores such as walmart, shoppers drug mart, etc to get the truth about what they contain, you will be surprised!

Sens'Eyes Eye Makeup Remover by Make Up Forever; is a fabulous product that I would recommend to everyone. It is for sensitive eyes and is oil & perfume free!
Eye Makeup Remover hurts the eyes; lets face it! But this product, honestly, does not.
Although it is a more expensive makeup remover; selling at approximately $28.00, It is worth every penny. You need such a minimal amount, even for those of you who wear LOTS of makeup, it takes off everything with very little effort.
You simply use the pump to dispense the desired amount onto fingers and rub on eyelids. It has a cream consistency, and spreads very easily. Once you have rubbed the product in circles (gently), remove it by simply wiping a dry kleenex over the area(s). It is magic. Whether you have sensitive eyes and wear minimal makeup or you don't have sensitive eyes but wear a lot of eye makeup, this product will work. It saves you from eye discomfort, and a ton of time and money

This product is THE BOMB! Every time I run out, I buy more. It is a brightening primer that can be used with or without makeup > thats right ladies, I wear this every day! It is twist packaging, which I love! (Never squeeze out too much, getting your money's worth). It appears a soft pink in colour but quickly dissapates once you spread it on. You do not need much, a little goes a long way! It does not have a strong scent (for those of you who don't like perfume) and can be worn over top of moisturizer for a brightening effect, and/or under foundation to prime. This primer will last me approximately 4 months (keeping in mind, I wear it every day religiously). The value is great and it exceeds my expectations. -
