    Feels nice but is actually horrible for your face

    I used to love this exfoliator! $5 at Walmart and leaves my face feeling clean? Heck yes! But I did more research and harsh granules like the ones found in this are actually really bad for your skin. You might be exfoliating a bit but you're actually making tiny cuts in your face which overtime will damage your skin and wear it down, making it more prone to sensitivity, redness, breakouts, infection and everything else. Don't use this!! Use a chemical/peeling exfoliator instead.

    Love/Hate

    Heard such amazing review from so many different people so I wanted to try out it out for myself. I have quite sensitive skin but people still recommended it to me because people said it was mild.

    But when I tried it out the first night I love how refreshing it made my skin feel... but the next morning my whole face was full of acne!! So I was thinking in my head maybe my face is purging because it was a exfoliating scrub. So I waited 2 day after to try it again (since you aren't supposed to exfoliate everyday), still I had the same effect the next morning.

    Just from personal experience I wouldn't recommend this product again, but everyone's skin is different.

    Do not recommend for the face

    This scrub has been around for so many years, and it sounds good. The problem with it is the crushed abricot are all different size. It creates tiny micro scratches on your skin, therefore creates more damage to the epidermis. If you want to use it , use as a foot scrub since the skin tends to be thicker .

    laisse la peau trop sec

    J'ai essayé ce produit que je trouve qui laisse ma peau très sec, habituellement les produits que j'utilise ne fait pas cet effet après. Le prix est correct mais la qualité n'est pas le meilleur.

    Harsh on skin

    This product has been around forever and hasn't changed. It still has particles in it that will scratch the surface of the skin doing more damage than good. I have somewhat sensitive skin and this scrub is very irritating. I do not recommend it.

    Not for my face

    I know this is marketed as a facial cleanser but I absolutely hated the way it felt on my face. The cleanser just felt like it was too harsh and stripping my face.I did however like it as a hand scrub. It's not something that i think I will be adding to my beauty regime.

    I honestly did not see a difference with my skin at all after using this which is a total bummer since I loved the smell. I am also usually sensitive to products/scents and did not have a reaction at all. I would definitely consider this a light exfoliant.

    I really wanted to like this product...but it just doesn't work with my skin. I use it on my legs and arms in the shower though! So, it kind of works...but not on my face. The scrub is much too rough (large granules) and leaves my skin feeling sensitive. I don't personally recommend anyone try this scrub on their face, but it may work well for leg exfoliation prior to shaving :)

    i DO NOT recommend this product. the pieces of apricot in the scrub cause micro tears in my skin because they aren't circular and it made my skin so much worse than what it was when i started the product.

    The exfoliants are too rough for my skin (sensitive, oily, over 35). I found that it caused irritation after use on my face (much less if used on my body), and I've been told that it is too harsh for regular use by a number of beauty professionals. I used to love it when it was younger - in my 20's. I had picked some up again recently and found I had problems. I never finished the tube and won't buy again.
