Best Face Scrub For Dry Sensitive Skin (2024 Update)

Before i started using this i never had a problem with acne or having consistent pimples. I bought this, used it, and I'll admit, my skin felt so clean after each, use but over time the super intense grit of the exfoliant TORE up my skin. It was like i was getting open wounds from it because it was so gritty and sharp. After months of wondering why i started breaking out so bad i realized that this was just cutting up my face and the bacteria getting trapped in my skin turned into horrible cystic acne. It has taken me 2 years to get my skin close to what it was before, but after all the emotional strife that came from destroying my skin barrier and getting bad acne for the first time ever in my 20's, i would not recommend this to anyone. My skin barrier has healed but the scars have stayedLauren

Unbelievable scrub. So gentle to my face, the ingredients are super nutrients I feel my skin softer after each used. Sometimes I even leave it on after scrub and treat it like a masks. My face has started to become brighter after about a dozen usages. I love the quality d the smells. The size and the price works super fine for me and I can always afford this skin care.my skin is quite sensitive but this has not hurt it at all, the composition are so true I could smell it. I am happy with the purchase and will be buying the second one soon. Now my face is clean and cleared and fresh. Superb product and benefits. IHERB delivered them in a nice thick cardboard box. All merchandise received well in this package. I recommend using warm water to rinse off after each use and if you have an ice ball try it, as this is what I do and now I don’t go salon for facial anymore.iHerb Customer

Dermalogica gifted me this Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator that smooths and brightens skin in 7 days. This gentle exfoliating powder is a rice-based cleanser and exfoliator. Key ingredients: 1. Papain Enzymes and Salicylic Acid – draws out excess oil, clears clogged pores, and smooths the skin 2. Rice Bran-Derived Phytic Acid – gently exfoliates to visibly brighten and balance uneven skin tone 3. Colloidal Oatmeal – calms skin which reduces the appearance of redness and irritation After cleansing, I dispensed about a half-teaspoon of Daily Microfoliant into my hands that were very wet as directed. Rubbing it in my hands created a creamy paste. Then I massaged it into my skin in circular motions for about a minute making sure to avoid my eye area. The last step was to rinse with warm water. My face started to feel smoother and look brighter after the first day. After the 7 days, my face was brighter and smoother than I have ever seen it. My pores were much clearer as well. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone even those with sensitive skin since it is very gentle. Thank you Dermalogica for these samples!PiGirl314

This product is a very gentle exfoliator that can be used daily. This product’s formula is very unique. It is a very fine white powder. To activate the powder, you add it to wet hands and rub your hands together, creating a paste. The paste is then massaged in circular motions over a freshly cleansed face. Unlike classic microdermabrasion and exfoliating products that contain exfoliating beads that feel rough and gritty on the skin, this product has very small and fine exfoliating granules that feel very soft, smooth, and gentle on the skin. You can adjust the strength of exfoliation by adding more powder and less water when mixing the paste. After using this product, my skin was mildly exfoliated. It was slightly smoother and softer, but the results were minimal. After using it consistently for a week, I only saw a slight difference in my skin. I think that with further consistent use, my skin will continue to become more smooth and bright. This product does fulfill it claims. It is a very mild and gentle exfoliator. With daily use, this product will ensure that my skin is always free of dead skin cells. This will create smooth, soft, and radiant skin consistently.fermbernd

Lately my skin has been a mess. I've been doing a pretty good job at taking care of it- MUCH better than I ever have in fact, but for some reason it just doesn't want to cooperate. It seems like it might all be starting to turn around though, thanks to the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, which I've gotten to try for a week free thanks to Octoly. From the first time that I used this product, which is a white powder that you add water to and it turns into a kind of paste, (you apply it to your face in a circular motion for one minute and then rinse), my skin has felt absolutely amazing! My skin feels SO much smoother and softer since I've started using this, it's incredible! My skin's tone and texture are much more even as well. I thought this product was going to be abrasive to my sometimes sensitive, finicky skin, but it didn't bother it at all, and actually did quite the opposite by calming it. My skin appears much brighter and much more radiant since the very first use. I can't believe the difference this product has made in my skin already. Achieve brighter, smoother skin every day with this iconic exfoliating powder. Upon contact with water this powder polishes skin to perfection to help balance uneven skin tones, while calming your skin. Benefits: Removes dulling surface debris and evens skin tone to reveal brighter, smoother skin. Gentle enough for daily use. Brightens with Phytic Acid from rice. Calms with Colloidal Oatmeal. Smooths with Papaya enzymes. Physical exfoliants use small particles or tools to physically lift dead skin cells from the skin's surface. Chemical exfoliants use chemicals like Hydroxy Acids to break apart bonds between dead skin cells so they are easier to remove. This product is cruelty-free, which is very important to me. It is also gluten-free, uses no artificial colors or fragrances, is vegan-friendly, and is also paraben-free. Important Ingredients- Colloidal Oatmeal: Helps soothe skin. Papaya: Helps remove dull skin cells. Rice Bran: Gently exfoliates the skin. Professional-grade skin care, professional-grade results. Add less water for a textured paste. Add more water for a gentle foam. Add to cleanser for a cleansing boost. I can absolutely see why this is an iconic product. It has given me incredible results in just a few uses and is definitely something that I recommend. I can't wait to see how amazing my skin looks with continued use!ashley.h

I just love so many of the Aveeno brand products to be honest….but, Their skincare line is definitely where I spent the majority of the money i spend overall on this popular brand. One can never truly go wrong when choosing to add Aveeno to their skincare routine! And thats the truth! While i have used multiple products from their skincare line , I tend to prefer the 'Positively Radiant' line. I love the results I get when using the daily scrub and the moisturizer together in my skincare routine every day. The scrub itself is so gentle on the skin yet it effectively rejuvenates my appearance to perfection each n every time I use it. I can see the positive results when i use this cleansing scrub about 2 days out of the week as my exfoliator. I am always feeling much more confident on the days when ive exfoliated using the Positively Radiant scrub because i can literally see the brand new and bright skin on my face and neck area once i complete my morning skincare routine on these couple days out of every week that i incorporate this must-have product in said routine. Pretty much all aspects of my skincare routine change up here n there after several months of using one of the same products in any one of the multi-step routine for daily skincare. But for almost 2 years straight now, ive continued to use Aveenos Positively Radiant scrub as my exfoliator twice each week in order to get all those dulling dead skin cells off of my face thus revealing an absolutely POSITIVELY impeccable looking face when i finish my daily morning routine on these days! I just love it when i find skincare products that leave mey skin looking and feeling like ive used a high end product….and thats why this Aveeno product is a staple in my skincare routine every week !kara.f

I tried this product and received a full rebate in exchange for my honest opinion. Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub is a gentle daily exfoliating product with a pleasant, fresh scent. It provides very light exfoliation that achieves optimal effect with daily use. The product instructions recommend using once or twice a day. The first time I tried this product, I was a bit surprised at how light the exfoliation effect was. With a word like "scrub" in the product name, I expected something with a little more exfoliation power. This is not a product one uses to notice an immediate difference in skin texture (as is typical with other products described as "scrubs"). This product does not have the abrasiveness of other scrub products. I used it for several days in a row and only noticed a marginal difference in my skin. I believe that continued use over several weeks would be required to see the full results of this product. I believe this product would be best for people with sensitive skin or who otherwise only desire light exfoliation. I personally prefer to use a more abrasive scrub once or twice a week as opposed to a product such as this one. I do believe the use of the word "scrub" in the name of this product is a bit misleading, as it does not have the abrasiveness of other products that use this word. So be aware that if you are looking for the more intense exfoliation typically associated with products described as scrubs, this product will not provide that. But if you are looking to add light exfoliation into your skin care routine, this might be the product for you.Andrea7635

I would just like to state that I'm not the demographic these products are marketed to. I'm a 30 year old mom with kids and PCOS trouble skin. I also did not purchase these products because I am a crazed fan of 'Eleven'. I purchased these products because of ingredients, price, packaging, and rave reviews. This scrub is so awesome. It's the first cucumber scent (natural) that I've ever liked for starters. Smells really good. The scrub is also really effective. My skin felt sooo good after. No irritation, no itchiness at all. A little product goes a long way. I honestly can say that, so far, the products I have purchased are above the level of the high end scrubs I have purchased previously (Tatcha, DE, belief, Amore pacific etc.) I am really looking forward to getting the rest of the line when they come back in stock. Quality products! Good job! I really hope she will expand the line in the future with even more cool stuff!RoW

I typically have my doubts about celebrity skin care but this was suggested to me by a friend. I was pleasantly surprised by the product, that left my face feeling fresh, soft and clean after use. It is a little more abrasive than other face scrubs I use so someone with especially sensitive skin may want to use with caution. I don't like to over exfoliate so I use this product bi-weekly.Brie

First time trying a Florence product and I'm impressed! Love this as an alternative to plastic microbead exfoliator products. And no sacrifice in quality! This scrub has helped slough away dead skin around my nose and improve overall skin texture. That said, has a smell of cucumbers, but subtle enough to get used to.bea

Great product! This is a winner for me. The texture is perfect. Not too rough or too fine. No fragrance which I really like. A little goes a long way.Jericoliz

I used this product years ago, then tried other brands from different companies. I returned very recently, because frankly, I missed the quality of this product and benefits I got from it. In few days time I saw what I wanted to achieved: fine skin texture (again), dark spots minimized, and pure joy from decision made. DHC maintained everything good about this product and I hope they will not alter the formula in the future. This product is one of the reasons I am phasing out Origins from my daily facial skincare regimenTA - CA

I've ordered a cream for myself and I've received a sample of this product along with the cream I've ordered. I've tried the sample and fell in love with this product straight away. I've ordered it the following day. This is such an amazing product. My skin feels like silk. I usually use the scrub under the shower every night to remove all of the dead skin. Highly recommended product. I have very sensitive skin.Ibolya H

Clinique were one of the first companies to make a line geared at men. One of Cliniques strengths is that for the main part they have remained fragrance free which is quite an achievement in the industry. It is a popular line and not without good reason but seems very pedestrian in many ways with boring formulas and packaging with large type face in case a man doesnt know his face wash from his face scrub. Back in the nineties when I used it, it seemed exciting and they released a Turnaround Lotion which was very effective. Then, you also had a series of creams from the womens line which you could use like Moisture On Call, Moisture On Line and Comfort On Call. All excellent creams. Now the mens line originally called Skin Supplies For Men is a pale version of the womens line. Its pretty unisex and men tend to use products from the womens line anyway. Now it seems that the mens line is as boring as the packaging. The pros of the line is that they are simple and fragrance free. But you might find yourself look elsewhere for ones that do a little more for your skin. The threestep system in the mens line is similar to the womens, but the Exfoliating Tonics which are similar to the Clarifying Lotions in the womens line, contain more SD alcohol so I would tread carefully there. The Face Scrub is much grittier than I remember it from memory and unlike the original one have Clinique tweaked it you dont have the option of leaving it on the skin for a minute or two like you used to. This scrub has the consistency of sand and is gritty and much less of a paste than it used to be. The packaging is wasteful as most of the product resides in half the tube. You can certainly feel it working and the skin is left very fresh after rinsing off. But I wouldnt recommend using this everyday as suggested. Its far too strong unless you have very oily skin in which case I would suggest you do not forgo the lotion afterwards. I used Clinique back in the early 90s when I was new to the whole serious skin care approach. Prior to this I had enjoyed vitamin E creams from the local health store which you sadly cannot find anymore So this was my first foray into department store brands and when I got past the price I liked the regime although it took me a while to get used to the M Lotion as it was then called because it was such a runny and seemingly ineffectual product. Sticking to the regime gave me good skin but I ran into trouble which I now see as simply being products that were too harsh for my skin. Namely the Scruffing Lotion now the skin tonics. Now I would recommend bypassing all the Clarifying Lotions and Tonics and going for the Mild Clarifying Lotion which is a BHA exfoliant and contains Salicilic Acid and is much gentler primarily because it does not contain SD Alcohol denatured alcohol. I wouldnt recommend using SD Alcohol on a daily basis. Oh no. Evidently a few of Cliniques products overstimulated my skin and I actually developed a cyst. The Face Scrub is in keeping with the aggressive approach that is still evident in some of Cliniques products. Its a good product but should be handled with care because after a couple of weeks of use twice a week it left my skin feeling a bit parched. Clinique is a good brand but choose carefully from their line. Keep their stronger items to a minimum. Pros fragrance free, simple, effective results fast. Cons boring formulations, can be harsh, expensiveAnonymous

My husband loves to get down and dirty doing his manly and country style things. He loves to live up being a man and therefore thinks that skin care is so feminine that he doesnt wanna bother. I got a deluxe sized sample to see if its something hed consider trying because I have him a hint that it was FREE. he used it everyday by accident being the man he is and not really reading the directions. Hes clueless in skin care. His skin is sensitive and this dis not break him out. He fell in love with this product and just uses it once to twice a week while showering and his skin feels nice and smooth. He loved it and was scarred to run out of it and begged me to order it and within a week of recieving this deluxe tube, we deff stocked up on a bigger tube for him. I never thought hed like it to be honest cause hes just a very manly man and now I got him clinging to this product Go for it I cant say anything about the smell since I honestly havent sniffed it yet. But if my husband loves this product being the caveman he is, I think its worth a tryAnonymous

This scrub is an excellent product a foundational item for mens skin care programs and a cornerstone of Cliniques lineup. Clinique established a long time ago that exfoliation was at the heart of its programs to basic skin health. Does anyone else remember the cellophane tape test at store counters The worldfamous 3Step includes a liquid exfoliating lotion clarifying for women and scruffing for men and all skin concerns are addressed after skin is properly cleansed, exfoliated toned, and moisturized. After that, issues related to shaving, wrinkles, firmness, dark spots, and more can be addressed now that the world of Clinique has smartly expanded to include a full roster of efficient and targeted performers. Face Scrub is ideal for men. Of the various scrubbing products that Clinique offers it can say its the most course it has the roughest scrubbing particles. This is extremely helpful for men, as most men have skin that is stronger than womens and also most men shave their face. The extra grit that the product provides does an excellent job of removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. That results in smoother, healthier, less blemished if thats your concern and youngerlooking skin. Whats more, it perks up whiskers and frees them of any muck that accumulates on a mans face. For me, this makes shaving a breeze. And for a guy who shaves his head too, using the product as a head scrub leads to smoother sailing all around the scalp. Use Face Scrub as often as you need, being mindful that it is removing those dead cells. Its basic and useful enough to include it with among the most basic items in your daily kit. Dont try other scrubs. Buy this one and be done.Anonymous

I received this product complimentary from Dermalogica for testing purposes. As far as exfoliants go, Dermalogica’s Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator is unique in its composition, which includes a blend of extracts such as coconut milk and oat brand as well as hyaluronic acid. You add water to a small amount of powder and lather into a creamy texture to use on your face and neck. You’ll notice that this exfoliant is not grainy or gritty. It’s quite soft, and most skin types will appreciate it, especially as you can apply a bit closer to the eye area without concern for the fragile skin. It’s gentle to use every day, which is useful for skin that may be peeling over a period of several days. I prefer to use it every other day, as my skin requires, and this as helped in reducing sebum on the nose. The scent is mild, almost non-existent, and I have observed no skin irritations. After a week, I noticed how smooth my skin felt and felt a subtle improvement in overall texture.Belletrist

My skin is sensitive & acne-prone, slightly dehydrated, & I am super cautious about what I try in case it causes me break-outs or redness. This gentle microfoliant is absolutely beautiful for a 1-2 weekly second cleanse in the PM, or AM cleanse. It comes in a bottle, & you twist off the cap & pour out a tiny bit from the straw-sized hole. I find it easiest to use in the shower, wet your face & hands, pour powder onto hand & apply directly to face where it will quickly dissolve into a gentle micropolishing paste. Smells faintly oaty, no perfume or essential oil scent. It almost feels like it’s doing nothing, it’s so gentle, but afterwards your skin feels soooo smooth without being dry or tight. Great for travel as it’s powder form so won’t spill or explode in your suitcase. Giant bottle will last ages. Really thrilled with this & would recommend for ALL skin types of ALL ages for a gentle physical & chemical exfoliation. (Disclaimer: received product to give review, 100% honest)Iris E.

I was kind of excited to receive this thinking it's gotta be good. It's for sensitive skin. There is no heavy scent which is great. It has a faint scent, does remind me of the ocean, refreshing. Very use to use. Wet face, squirt little on hands, rub hands together then scrub face. Don't need to use alot. You can feel the tiny granules, makes it feel they are doing something but not to me. Easily washes face, rinses off easily unlike other scrubs w larger granules. Face feels a little dry after using. I wouldnt recommend because I know it costs alot and it's not cruelty free.kelly.s

My face is super sensitive as I have Dermatitis, so I have to be cautious of anything I use. I usually wake up with dry flakes on my skin and needed a good scrub that would gently remove them. Well I definitely found the one! It’s super gentle and your face feels super smooth like you’ve had a facial. It also smells lovely but not overpowering.Andrea

I would like to first say that I love La Roche Posay products. Their products have helped my sensitive skin tremendously. However, this scrub is disappointing in the size sold. The amount charged is quite a lot for only 1.69 oz. I find this unacceptable. If this review is read by La Roche Posay product management, I would like to suggest increasing the size to 4 oz for the amount charged. Each product I have used has been appropriately priced for the size, except this scrub. It works well and is gentle and comforting to my sensitive skin. I would like very much to keep using, but cannot justify doing so based on the amount charged for the small size. Please consider increasing the size. Thank you for providing me the opportunity to review this product.SDBr

This is not the same exfoliate I’ve been using for years. I guess they changed their product. It use to have a great texture, smell great and have a white formula with pink exfoliate beads. Now it’s like they have mixed their apricot facial scrub with pink colouring. It does not smell good at all. Not even close to previously – it smells like chemicals. Make sure you open and smell BEFORE you purchase. I will not be using it anymore which is a shame as it was my favourite for a long time. I don’t know why they had to go and change a good thing so drastically.Dee10

Bye bye dullness! This one of my #1 scrub brand, this delicious, citrusy scrub is infused with pink lemon and mandarin peel extract that polishes away little imperfections. The extracts from these vibrant, zingy fruits are famous for leaving skin brighter. When life gives you lemons, make a delicious citrusy scrub. Infused with pink lemons and mandarin orange peel, it has a moderate exfoliation level for radiant skin. Use it 34 times a week for beautifully polished skin that glows. Note for the pros use it before makeup for a lovely smooth base. These pink lemons are unmistakable (yes they do exist!). Their distinctive green and yellow stripes protect a juicy pink inside. Like most of us, pink lemons benefit from a good dose of the sun. So this pink lemon extract comes from the sunshine state California and it smells AWESOME. The Pink lemon is carefully extracted to ensure we keep all the goodness. Natural Ingredients: Pink lemon fruit extract Mandarin orange peel extract Hydrated Silica. This delicious scrub is oil free, paraben free, dermatologist tested, and non-comedogenic ( meaning wont clog pores), and has a moderate exfoliation level. How to use: Dispense scrub onto fingertips and massage onto damp skin. Spread in small circular motions to wake your skins natural circulation. When youre done, rinse and glow! For best results, use 3-4 times a week. I always get it at Wallmart when I do my beauty essentials.wintertropical.h

I have been trying to find a face wash that works really well for deep cleaning. I don’t have a problem with acne or getting pimples on my face, my skin type is combination, but my face is always really red. I have a bad habit of not washing my makeup off at night… which I know is terrible but it’s something I’m trying to get better at. Even on the nights that I do use a makeup removing wipe, I still don’t feel like my face is clean so I thought that an exfoliating cleanser would do the job. I saw this at Walgreens and I think it was on sale for a couple bucks less so I picked it up. It smells pretty good, but that’s really all I like. It’s really rough on the face… I mean I know it’s exfoliating so it’s not going to be smooth, but it kinda hurts to apply. If you get it anywhere near your eyes, when you rinse it off it will more than likely get in your eyes. This happened to me more than once and that entire day I couldn’t apply makeup because I felt like I had something in my eyes all day and I’m pretty sure I scratched my eyes with it… my eyes were watering like crazy. Obviously I know not to make that mistake now but it could happen to anyone. When you rinse it off it initially feels really soft but when you dry your face off with a towel your skin gets very very dry. Mine actually turned bright red from the over exfoliation and if you miss a spot when you are rinsing it off, it sticks to you and you look like you have a white crust on your face. Once it’s stuck on your dry face it’s not easy to wipe off either. I have since started using regular non exfoliating face wash but I use exfoliating gloves with that and it works a lot better.lana.r

I have extremely dry, sensitive and reactive skin that I have tried to help with retinols and chemical exfoliants that didn't help or just made my dryness worse and caused hives. I bought this for my mom on a trip to sephora and tried it a few times when I would go visit and since my skin didn't react that was a huge plus. It's pricey so I was hesitant but bought a trial size to test out. Well using this with my new less pricey finds, the ordinary squalene and cerave moisturizer has been the best routine I've had since I was in my early 20s, I'm now 40. I just bought a large size after being without for about a week and I've noticed a difference in my dryness and overall glow. A little goes a long way. My trial size lasted me a long time and I used mostly everyday. I also feel like this helps my cerave cleanser to get all the makeup off since the cleanser is super gentle. I'm going to continue to buy this product. I absolutely love it!!Durp

I’ve had this product for a year now and I use it here and there for facial exfoliation, but have never really noticed too much of a difference, I’ve not been really wowed, until recently. I recently had a sunburn and it’s completely healed up but I’ve had some stubborn dry skin on my chest that I just could not get to go away. Finally, as like a last ditch “what the heck” option, I decided to try this product and see if it would help, and just wow. When I tell you it got every thing off and completely cleared my dry skin issue on my chest with just one application I am not kidding. I’ve never left a review before but I was so stunned by the results and difference in my skin with just one application. I definitely recommend this product, I have extremely sensitive skin as well and did not have a reaction. There is a bit of a fragrance but it’s not too bothersome. This Definitely became a holy grail exfoliater for me.LexGalmish

I use this every day. I know you aren't supposed to use a physical exfoliation product ever day but my job deals with automotive lubricants and to put it bluntly my face gets nasty. I've used it for years with the frequency being 2 to 3 times a weak in less dirty jobs. Why it's amazing: 1. Price for the quality product and results you get is phenomenal. 2. The physical exfoliator is ground walnut shell, it has a sand like consistency with no harsh edges or digging into your skin as other facial scrubs do. Super fine will leave a residue if taken off with a damp cloth. 3. Buffs away dead cells and opens up acne pores. 4. Smells nice but not strong. 5. Contains glycerin(hydrating), koaline(oil absorber), oat (redness reduction) and honey (germ fighting skin conditioner) as well as the cleaning agents. It contains dimethicone which some people don't like but for my oily skin definitely helps fight the grease ball factor. 6. Minimizes bumps, black heads, and helps fight oil build up. 7. Easy to use and can be used all over body for body acne. Simply dap out a dime sized amount and apply to wet face with palm of your hand go over while face in circular motions use the tips of your fingers to rub product into problem areas like beside the nose and under the lip. Then rinse with water til residue is all gone. I then add a deep cleaning skin cream to finish off my in shower routine. Wouldn't recommend for people with a nut or silicone allergy. But if you have dry skin could you tell me your thoughts. I have oily, acne prone, sensitive skin and live in a humid climate. So definite recommendation for my oily girls.stephanie.b

It’s simply great 😍 The size is a little bit small but the packaging is amazing 🤩 I start to see the benefits after only one use! It leaves the skin moisturized and smooth 🤩 The texture is gentle so its great for sensitive skin too! The quality of the ingredients is very high so I recommend it!iHerb Customer

I use the QUEEN HELENE scrub once a week /10 days after complete de-make-up and apply it in circular movements to moisturized skin, excluding the area around the eyes. Perfectly to use it on steamed skin at the shower, but this is not always the case. With this creamy texture Pomegranate and Raspberry Scrub spreads easily. I massage gently for one and a half or two minutes, without hard moving and pushing down. At this point, the scrub becomes whitish and tingles a little. Abrasive particles do their job, exfoliate and renew the skin, removing dead skin cells. Then I wash off everything with warm water and gently dab my face with a towel. After scrubbing, I apply my usual skin care stuff. Product consumption is minimal. This tube is enough for the face, neck and décolleté. The volume will be enough for 6 months for sure. Result: The scrub delicately polished the skin without damaging it at all. Eliminated the existing small peeling. Feels like skin became smooth, soft. Skin tone is noticeably improved, becoming more even. There is no irritation or redness after the scrub. I really like that the scrub does not dry out the skin. It has a large volume and an affordable price. Of the minuses, I note: The scrub does not tighten the enlarged pores on the wings of the nose. well, I do not have blackheads, so I have no idea how the scrub works with them. Pomegranate and Raspberry Scrub are great options for mechanical exfoliation at home. There is definitely an effect from it.iHerb Customer

Cetaphil prides itself in ultra sensitive skin care and I love many of their products. This is not a winner in my book. There's no need for fragrance or masking fragrance. Masking fragrance is to cover a not so pleasant smell and this doesn't do the job. The smell is nauseating. I get an instant headache and it irritates my skin. Do yourself a favor and reformulate like you did for so many of your products. There is a need for a gentle exfoliator without fragrance, SLS and chemicals. Very disappointed in cetaphil for added this unnecessary ingredient.Dee

im actually really happy with this, im allergic to a lot! willow meaning witch hazel, salicylic acid, biotin, cocoa butter, harsh scents, just to name a few..i dont get hives from using this face wash, and i love the very light fresh quality powder scent it has. its not overwhelming for my sensitivities or migraines, and it doesnt smell like cheap baby powder if you're wondering. its more of a light fresh scent that isnt overpowering in the least for me, and to me, this smell says clean face, and not "im trying to cover an odor" smell, if i had to explain it thoroughly lol. its a clear gel consistency with just a breath of grittiness thats very gentle on my skin. NOTHING like those apricot washes with the walnut grounds in them, which dont even belong anywhere near the face! and gave me abrasions and hives. this cetaphil face gel(extra gentle daily scrub) has become a permanent fixture in my shower and will be for years to come. if you're looking for a heavy duty scrub then this isnt for you, but you wont be dissapointed in how clean your face gets. you just cant feel the grits and arent suppose to! but yes, thank you for being the first face wash in years to not give me hives<3Sprinkles

I know that it's a little late in life for me (I'm 35), but recently I've just really started making an effort to take much better care of my skin. I have oily/combination sensitive skin and have been exploring all kinds of facial cleansers, masks and lotions. Lately I've been using , and again I have to admit that I'm really impressed by Cetaphil. It's a daily cleanser that has a small amount of tiny exfoliating particles in it. I first lathered it up on my face, and then used my lil' Scrubbie. It did an excellent job at removing all of the makeup, dirt and oil from my face, and left my skin looking and feeling very healthy. My skin was baby soft and satiny smooth after using this cleanser. It did not bother or irritate my skin at all which was great, because my skin can be sensitive to new cleansers.

This face wash is formulated specifically for sensitive skin that needs gentle care. It is designed to clean and exfoliate using a watery formula that is very effective and does not cause any irritation. And even though it exfoliates, there are no scratchy abrasive additives. This is a very pure formula that leaves out irritants such as fragrances and dyes. It also does not cause dry skin and keeps it feeling moisturized. It can be used for any skin type, but will benefit those with sensitive skin conditions the most. This is a great face wash for providing gentle cleansing from a company you can trust.mazzycamp

I have been using this silky smooth exfoliate for a few weeks now. It has proven to be efficient at removing the dirt without interfering with my skin barrier. I love that I can apply it to wet or dry skin and then remove it with just warm water. It is not abrasive, but creamy. It is noncomedogenic and does not clog my pores. The PHA and oat oil formula provide the cleaning action while the sunflower oil and glycerin provide the creamy smooth feel to my skin. It doesn’t contain phthalates, parabens or sulfates so there is no drying or stinging involved. This is not a deep clean formula and is gentle enough to use daily. An added bonus is that the plastic tube is recyclable and made with 40% post-consumer recycling plastic. So it makes my face feel indulged and helps the planet. It is a win win product. Youann0254

I received this Aveeno Calm & restore nourishing PHA facial Exfoliator to try and review. I am so glad I did! The product has no scent, which is very nice since I am sensitive to smells. The product is light weight & is not greasy. It goes onto my skin smoothly & does not have that "sandy" feeling like other exfoliators do where they feel like you are scrubbing your face with sandpaper. This product feels like you are applying a very light weight lotion to your face, VERY nice & calming! I love how clean my face feels after washing with this & it has dramatically helped with the dry patches I have on my face. My skin feels clean, hydrated, soft & smooth! Great product!bgordonbilling

I originally bought Bulldog skincare for my boyfriend – but i tried & loved it so much that i now buy it for myself. I use the cleanser & this face scrub & it's fantastic. Doesn't irritate or dry out my skin at all! Smells amazing too.Carlie92

I was looking for a face wash that was more natural and less perfumey, and read some good things about Bull Dog. Nice combination of a masculine but more subtle scent while still being effective. The scrub material is abrasive in just the right way, and the scent is pleasant without being way over the top like some 'manly' brands, but also is relaxing every morning almost aromatherapy-like. Been using for a couple weeks and my skin is noticably clearer with fewer breakouts, so can't complain. Two things could be improved: it could lather better (right now it feels more like sort of a moisturizer) and it could have more scrub material in it (it is a scrub, after all). But overall I like it!tristan84

I've tried many Men's face washes before, and tend to stick to Nivea Men's Face Wash, as that works for my face well. The only problem with their product is that it takes a little more effort to wash the suds off. The Bulldog Original Face Wash seemed promising. The first thing I took note of was the fragrance of it, which smelled GREAT! It wasn't overwhelming and reminds me of the fancy face washes from a 5 star hotel. I was displeased that the Directions didn't say how much of it to use, so I just went by my experience using other face washes and used less than a quarter-size in my palm. It lathers very well (even without using water to work up a lather), and washing it off took no extra effort. I catch whiffs of the fragrance and it is pleasant to my nose. I think I have found a new mens face wash to replace all others. « lessjenjen

Kiehl’s Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub is a terrific facial scrub that can be used twice a week. I love to use this at night time, it gets rid of all the dead skin cells, and skin is therefore more receptive to your skincare routine, your skin will love and instantly absorb your serum and night cream. This scrub has real pineapple and papaya in it, so you can imagine it smells pretty wonderful. My skin feels so soft and smooth after I have exfoliated with this scrub, it looks and feels so much brighter and radiant. It gently exfoliates the skin, taking off the dead skin that can clog pores and make your makeup look like it is caked on. After just one use, your skin feels instantly soft and lovely. After a week, you will notice your skin is much smoother and your skin care is working better as it is not having to work so hard to to sink through all that dead skin. Makeup application improved for me 100%, as often my makeup looked a bit caked on, especially if I touched up my makeup throughout the day.\n\nPRO's\nSmells wonderful, so is a pleasure to use\nGood value and large tube, so will last a good 6 months\nEasy and quick to use, takes about one minute to exfoliate your face\nNot harsh or abrasive\n\nI recommend this product to anyone who wants smoother skin. If you have not exfoliated before, your skin will absolutely love it and feel so soft, smooth, and your skin will look brighter, healthier and more visibly radiant.\nAriane B.

I have been using this Khiels product for the last two months- and I have to say I really enjoy it! I like facial exfoliants but I don’t enjoy scrubs that scrub away too hard at your skin as I have quite sensitive skin. I find that this Khiels scrub is non irritating as the exfoliating particles in the scrub are very fine and do not hurt the skin. It leaves my skin not red and looking very glowy and radiant. I also noticed that the longer I used it the Moreno the texture of my skin was improving over time. This does a really great job of smoothing out my skin and I always find it to be very smooth and soft to the touch after using this scrub. I don’t particularly love the smell of the product as it has a slightly chemical scent- which is the main negative for me. I like the texture of the product it is a thick gel consistency with the exfoliating particles suspended in the gel. I find the texture means that the product goes quite a long way- you only need a small pea sized amount so the full 100ml will last ages if only used twice a week!Ruby

if i could give this 4.5 hearts, i would. but i'll settle for four because i think there's a few things this product can do better in. regardless, it's really great and i'm a big fan. couple good things: smells great, is affordable, actually works, is not harsh on your skin and really loves it smooth (not red and blotchy like those money grabbing other ones). you really need to use a gentle scrub because otherwise it's not doing the job right. love using it after a day of heavy makeup, paired with the facial cleanser. the only negative to it is that you need to use quite a bit of product. the bottles not that big so you can run out if you use it more than once a week. i'm on my second bottle, and learnt to be more frugal with it – but the first one finished in like 3 months. it doesn't spread well and i think that's the reason why you need to use quite a bit.NadJB

Cannot beat this mask for the price!! It is so effective at removing old, dead skin cells and leaving my skin feeling so refreshed. I recommend it to all of my friends! I am a sucker for natural beauty products and this surely doesn’t disappoint!crystal.y

I would purchase it again if it was available. This stuff made my face so clean and smoothe. And it smells really nice, which was awesome while I was pregnant because I was so sensitive to smells. Thank you! And please let me know when it's available to purchase again.cason.harmo

I received the “L’Oreal Paris Pure Sugar Scrub Smooth & Glow” for free for test and review from Topbox Circle. At first glance, you don’t think anything of this scrub but wow, it totally blew me away with what it can really do. I liked how it’s encased in this tiny but heavy, glass jar. When you open it, the consistency looks quite thick and sticky looking but isn't sticky at all. The smell is amazing, like dark chocolate coffee syrup and I just wanted to eat it(but I didn't)! The application is pretty easy and you don’t need a whole lot. Make sure not to get it too close to your eyes as there are little granules in this scrub that could irritate your eyes. Immediately after applying, you’ll notice this amazing, warming sensation that spreads all over your face. The blend of sugars, coffee, oils felt so luscious against the skin. Use gentle circular motions around your face since the instructions say to use it on dry skin. If you do use it on damp skin or wet skin, it's not as effective because the sugar crystals would have dissolved leaving only the coffee grounds behind as an exfoliant. I'm glad that the blend of sweet almond and coconut oils help it be less abrasive. Rinses well with water revealing baby soft skin. My skin felt cleaner and smoother in just one use. It was perfectly fine for my sensitive skin. I’ve used this scrub, three times now and I love it so much! I had really rough textured skin between my eyebrows and now it feels so much smoother. I’ve used Loreal’s Pure Clay Face Masks in the past but I never stopped to try their scrubs. I’m going to have to check out their line of scrubs to see what else I can try. Thank you Topbox and L’oreal for giving me this opportunity to try this truly amazing product! For what you are getting at drugstore prices – A definitely diamond in the rough! # trywithtopbox #freeproductyogabug

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. I’ve been using this face lip scrub for a couple of weeks now, and I can honestly say that it’s a very interesting product. The first thing that hits you when you open this jar is the scent,… I mean, Holy Dark Roast, Batman!!! The coffee aroma is super strong and pungent, so if you’re not a fan of the smell of coffee, this isn’t for you… I personally enjoy the scent and found it to be a nice robust fragrance. This scrub also has a warming sensation as you apply it, so it’s ideal for a chilly winter morning wake-up call. As for the ingredients of the scrub itself, it’s mostly a mix of sugar and coffee grounds (don’t use a white washcloth to rinse this off, take it from me). The sugar granules were larger than I anticipated, which meant I had to be careful when massaging this scrub into my skin because it’s definitely on the rougher side of exfoliating products. After rinsing, my face looked radiant and smooth (albeit a little red LOL). I had the softest skin and felt ready to take on the day… However, I didn’t notice a real difference when using this scrub for my lips, so that was a tad disappointing… I think I’ll stick to using this for my face only. Overall, I enjoyed the scent and results of this scrub, but because it’s such an intense exfoliation I won’t find myself using it frequently… I also am disappointed that it’s advertised as a lip scrub as well, but didn’t actually prove to be effective for my lips. I do appreciate the opportunity to try this product for free from Influenster, but I won’t personally be running out to buy another L’Oréal Pure Sugars Coffee Scrub anytime soon.kat.j

I dont drink coffee. But boy do I love the smell of it. And THIS SCRUB smells like fresh ground coffee! It really does. Its a pivk me up for sure. And the scrub itself is not too harsh and 100% leaves my skin better than before I used it. Its a little too liquidy when ypu use most of the scrub. You really gotta dig to the bottom to then pick up actually scrubbies. But its so worth it! The price is a little put of my comfort zone but I still have my first jar and still use it as a luxury sometimes!danielle.d

This scrub is excellent! Totally worth it and a little goes a long way ( yes the tube is small but you don’t need to use it too often). If your skin is like mine I’d recommend using it once every week or once every ten days. My skin is combination. Most of the acne products don’t work on my skin as they irritate it or make it dry which causes more breakouts. I’ve figured my combination skin leans towards dryness. So it’s always a struggle to find the right scrub that works. Most exfoliating and scrub masks make my skin too sensitive and give me breakouts. But this scrub is really great. I’m very happy with it. Just Don’t overdo it. As I suggested once every week is ideal, but consultancy matters if you want to see the results; so make it a routine.Maryam A.

Great product! When your face is in real need of more deep exfoliation- this scrub will deliver it! I use it right after steaming the face or taking long warm shower, allowing your face skin prep, getting more soft first, and opening the pores a bit. Manually apply a bit of product and gently scrub in circular motion avoiding delicate skin around the eyes. You will slough off all the dry dead skin. Do not be afraid of a bit rough /scratchy feeling .Once again, this product is made to mimic effect of microdermabrasion machine. After, it is a must to apply face serum or your favorite moisturizer. The skin will feel renewed after! Caution: do not over use it! Once a week should be enough. And use very carefully if you have very sensitive skin. Hope it helps!Anastasiya

I love this gentle scrub ! I’m 62 and have dry mature skin. This stuff leaves my skin feeling smooth and so clean. I love the clean smell too! My pores are so happy after using this! I follow with Protein Mist Toner and Colostrum Moisturizer.Leslie

Amazing product. I've been using this as part of my daily routine and I have noticed such a difference. The lines on my face and neck are virtually none existent! I have purchased this product for all of my friends and highly recommend it to everyone I know. If you haven't tried it what are you waiting for?Lorraine C.

I really love this product. I've been using it for several months now. I do have combination skin, slightly oily, sensitive and sometimes patchy and dry. Even though this product does contain acid it doesn't cause me any irritation and it helps keep breakouts away. It also exfoliates well and leaves my skin soft and smooth. I use is around 4 times a week. It is more pricey that some of the other products available but I really feel it's worth paying abit more for this brand as it does work.Lily

I purchase this because I was looking for a non chemical exfoliating wash to replace my favorite products that had no-no ingredients. This worked well, didn’t upset my skin, and has a mild smell. I reordered it postpartum because I liked it so much.Amelia

I had a facial and this was used on my skin. It smelled and felt great but I couldn't be certain if it was the facial itself or the product that made me skin so happy. After my next facial, I picked this up hoping it would give me the same results on my own. The price is a bit higher than I would like to spend on something I'm not certain works for me over the long run – but so happy I got it. The exfoliant is fine and not something that is going to scratch or cause abrasions with daily use. The scent is very light but fresh and doesn't cause any irritation for my sensitive skin. My face is smooth and bright after every use. I just have to get over the price and decide if I should keep this in my skincare routine.sarah.s

sounds kind of weird but this product uses smashed wood pulp which is biodegradable obviously as the gentle manual exfoliant. I am not a fan of manual excellence for the most part because people tend to over script their skin which leads to loss plasticity and capillary issues as well as aggravating acne. That said this is gentle enough with a chemical exfoliant added as well that I really enjoy this product. The fragrance is amazing that in my clients buy it nonstop and love it. Good price point too. I highly recommend it.tammy.i
