20 Best Facial Scrub For Older Skin (Jan 2023 Update)

This is a must! It has the right size of exfoliating agents to get the job done. My skin feels so amazing, soft, and clears up any rough, dry patches. I love this! The scent is soft and delightful. This product brightens my skin and day every time I use it. I should note I don't have sensitive skin or acne. I do have dry to combinations skin. Now there are a couple things I've noticed. You MUST make sure you tighten that lid after ever use. Because I noticed the times I didn't, it formed a dry layer on top, but a tad bit of water took care of that. Another thing would be that, it made my dry areas feel a bit tight after using it but it's not anything my moisturizer can't handle. I still HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!Sol

I just started using this facial scrub. It is only my 2nd time using in a week and my face feels much smoother than before. It has a nice lemon scent like lemon meringue pie. The micro crystals used in the light cream base are very small and non-irritating to my sensitive skin. Found this to be highly-effective after rubbing gently into my face in circular motion for 1 minute. After rinsing off with warm water, there is a noticeable difference as it gets rid of dead skin cells and leaves my face pink from the scrubbing. Be sure to follow with an alcohol-free toner like witch hazel so does not sting and will soothe your skin, followed by serum, and night time moisturizer that is heavier. I'm doing this twice a week like recommended and at night before bed. Highly-recommend. A little pricey at 29.99 at Ulta, but worth it and should last a good while.patrice.m

I'm so in love with this one!! I wish I could use it every day! I have semi sensitive skin and exfoliators tend to irritate me more often than not. But this one is so gentle and made my skin feel so amazing!! It is probably the most gentle exfoliant I've ever used but it worked so well. Since winter set in my skin has been dry and flakey. This was like magic! Cleared away all my flakey irritated skin and left me feeling soft and smooth! And a little goes a long way! I barely had to use any and it covered my whole face! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something gentle but effective. I will not be able to live without this one now!Courtney

I purchased this for my husband. He has been consistently using this for over a year and really feels it helps with preventing and diminishing ingrown hairs on his face. The scrub is intense – the particles are large – I certainly can’t use it on my face. But he can’t go anywhere without it. The scent is refreshing as well.1chord2another

This is a top notch product that I always want to have on hand. It’s not so tough that I can’t use it back to back days, but it also does a phenomenal job of getting rid of dead skin that flakes off through my beard. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is that the formula seems to change fairly often. A size of the large tube can last me a year and when I go to re-order it again there’s always something that’s just a little different the last couple years. It has more of a sand quality now which is so heavy it doesn’t actually go down the drain. It’s minor because the results are still great but I think something to be aware of if you’re considering this product.GradShopper

Over the past ten years I’ve experimented with every men’s scrub and found this to be the best. It doesn’t have a chemical smell and feels very natural. It is course enough to really scrub and open up the pores – other brands feel very granular / small and smell like like chemicals Pro tip – use this before you shave to get the hairs to really stand up on your face for a close shaveKAMC

They recently changed formulas. The old formula worked wonders for my acne prone and sensitive skin. It was gentle, didn’t have a strong smell, gentle exfoliation, and didn’t completely dry my face out. My skin was soothed but the acne was taken care of. The NEW formula is awful. My skin is starting to break out again, I get headaches from the smell, and it is too strong of an exfoliant. It scratches my face, so I can barely scrub with my face wash. Please bring back the old formula Burt’s Bees! You all had a wonderful formula before that didn’t need to be changed.Mb123

This Natural Acne Solutions Deep Cleansing Scrub is a nice product to help clean with the micro abrasives. It also has a punch of salicylic acid to help minimize breakouts. So far it has worked as expected like similar products. I have noticed that the scrubbing ability does not work very well on my beard, but feels great on my exposed skin. The micro size of the cleaners seems to be very beneficial for helping skin stay beautiful. I did not really like the scent of the cleanser at first, I still am unsure as what to think about it. It is not as off-putting as before, but I think I just cannot place the scent. It almost smells like ground up dirt and flowers, but on the very earthy side. Overall, I would recommend this to women and people without facial hair. It also seemed to be difficult to rinse out of my facial hair after I had used it.nmia21

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

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 have oily combination skin with lots of blackheads and big pores. So I like using a daily scrub that doesn't make me red after using and helps keep oil away. I've used this once but I definitely like that it's a soft scrub, nothing like a sugar scrub or coffee. Just light beads and I just keep adding a little water to my fingers to scrub it in. Afterwards my face felt clean, didn't leave me red which is huge for me. I was using cliniques scrub but after finding out they still test on animals I had to ditch it. So happy pacifica has great working products and still saving the planet and animals! You can't go wrong with this brand and it's prices!Alliecat

This scrub is really nice and it is very gentle but still feels like it is exfoliating. It left my skin feeling really soft and nice and not stripped. I have been trying more and more pacifica stuff and finding they are a very under-rated brand. Good products, great ingredients, and results. I love it.Ree33

I've been using this for a few months on my combination acne prone skin. I use a little every night with a plain oil cleanse and I think it helps to keep away dry patches of skin. I don't think it causes any acne flare ups. I can't seem to use products on my face that contain anything coconut oil related but, this product has been working good.Artsy&natural

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

I really liked the smell of this product and my skin felt really soft and clean after using it. I was however a little bit concerned by the plastic beads included in this product as they are not environment friendly. As I have also stated in other reviews, I found out that L'Oreal is not a cruelty-free company so I will not be buying this product again. However, If these are not things that concern you as a consumer, you will love the product and I highly recommend that you try it. I received this product for free in exchange for this review.WillzYYZ

This is a nice refreshing scrub. I like the citrus scent on it. It's invigorating and the scrubbing makes me feel clean! I will definitely buy this again! #gotitfree #xystuff #lorealmencgp0317

I love this scrub! I use it in the shower which makes it easy to apply and remove. the scrubbing action is good and the salicylic acid makes my face feel clean. For the price, I don't think you can get much better for a face scrub. I recommend it to people looking for a clean face. (I received this product as a gift)alex_aube

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 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

To my surprise, the exfoliating beads are very, very small. They almost feel like crushed rice balls (if that makes any sense) much smaller and gentler than sugar. And their smooth round edges prevent them from creating micro-tears in the skin Aveeno's scrub product is so light, my face doesn't feel tight, because it doesn't dry out my skin. It is oil-free so I don't get that oily feeling either. My face doesn't necessarily feel silky smooth because I don't think it is loaded with silicone but my face just feels like skin. As for the brightening effect, when you're face is clean it will always look bright. This is not going to single-handedly fade your dark spots but getting rid of the dead skin on the surface of your face will help your overall appearance. Just letting the beads do their job. I know you might feel the need to press into the skin as you exfoliate but it is really not necessary, it is a top no-no, because doing so can damage the skin. Because it is so gentle, I am able to use it 2-3 times a week. It has become an integral part of my weekly night routine before I actually cleanse my face. I love this product and have been raving about it for some time now.lilian.f

Imagine stirring a jar of natural peanut butter in the shower and you will know what this scrub is like. It is so oily. The bottle gets slippery, the lid gets slippery, hands are greasy, shower is slippery. I honestly couldn't stand to use it more than once because of all that so I don't even know if it does all the things it claims. There is actually a warning on the jar that says it may make your shower slick. Not for me. For less than half the price I would rather buy the Dove scrub.BSlay

The Majestic Pure brown sugar body scrub is good for one thing, leaving your skin oily. This stuff is so oily, even if you try to mix the entire container for each use and make a mess in the shower. It is also slippery in the shower. I used it several days in a row on the cellulite under my left arm only. The only difference between the two was the amount of oil left over. The inner seal doesn't come off easily and that does work on my nerves. It does smell nice, but that's about the only thing I have good to say about it. I am probably going to empty the container and toss it into the recycling bin.WhoGal420

Use it with valmont face mask too! It’s a super nice and efficient combo! My face has little bumps next to my chin but not pimples, just not smooth skin. It feels super clean and fresh afterwards. To me I’d feel less of those bumps!! If you have uneven tone or darker tones on ur skin this is also really efficient and useful for you! It destroy ur old and dry cells, but doesn’t irritate. I’d recommend for : 1. Defo a good one for sensitive skin too 2. Extremely good for not smooth and flat skin!trayy.x

Wonder falls is my absolute favorite face cleanser. Most other face cleansers I have used would either be too oily or leave my skin dry after. This does neither and you feel your face being nourished while you are washing it. And it leaves zero residue after! Washing my face has become a routine I actually enjoy because it finally feels good!Francesca F.

I was given a sample of this scrub with a purchase and fell in love with it right away. In contrast to many exfoliators on the market, the ruby stones are extremely fine. (This scrub has a strong resemblance to a microdermabrasion procedure.) I adore that it has hyaluronic acid since it moisturises my skin. Your skin may get extremely dry if this product is overused (and abused). I use this lotion a couple of times a week and haven't experienced any dryness. Although the cost is high, just that little goes a very long way!Zoeyyy

I received this product as a sample and was keen to try it as I have not used anything from this brand before…I have been missing out. I have a staple exfoliate that I always use (namely daily microfoliant by Dermalogica) as I had not used anything that was as good. My mind has been changed! This exfoliator is harsh compared to my usual one so I used it very gently; the particles are coarser so only a very small is needed. My skin looked fabulous after using it. I will definitely be buying full size of this product.Mindy1

Ok so a bit if back story. My mom had an ipsy subscription, when she passed away and I got some of her stuff this was among her belongings. I believe she had just gotten a subscription before passing. I finally got my own subscription last year….finally lol. But this was probably the best exfoliating scrub I've ever used! You can't use it often because it's so good. Also don't scrub to hard either. I love the fact the exfoliator is made with small granules instead of the larger ones. I believe it's easier to work with. It literally left my skin so smooth. You also only need a small amount make sure your face is wet and LIGHTLY make small circles making your way over your entire face and then rinse. Apply a moisturizer after.christian.g

I will give every product in this line a 5 star review. However this and the enzyme mask are my faves. I am 50+ and my skin is absolutely glowing since using this product line. Also super affordable.leanna.m

Miracle product. I use this once a week/once every 2 weeks. My top 3 favorite products of GoPure. Great if you have eczema or sensitive skin. It literally feels like a just got a facial when i am done!marylee.c

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 received the Clean and Clear Deep Exfoliating Scrub to test from Home Tester Club. The directions weren't clear if you are supposed to use before or after you clean your face so I used it both ways. I actually prefer to have scented products. But I will say that the first time I used it, the fragrance was strong to the point it kind of burned my eyes and the back of my throat. But after using it several times, I got used to it. Again, the directions aren't terribly specific about how often a day to use it either. But it does say it's gentle enough for daily use. I used it in the morning and night, before cleansing and after cleansing. It felt refreshing and made my face feel real soft and smooth. I really like it and will continue to use it. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because of how strong the scent is initially and how the directions weren't very clear on usage.StaciMichelle6

I have oily skin but at my age I don't get acne. My skin was rough before using this product. But instantly became silky and clean once I used this product. I bought this, the Clean and Clear Exfoliating Facial Scrub, and also their Clean and Clear Cream Cleanser. After use my face felt cool, fresh and instantly silky smooth. I rotate between the scrub and cleanser each day when I wash my face. And it last a while as it only takes a small amount each use. So happy I chose these items when trying to just find a daily cleanser. And the price was great too!! Happy customer!Amber

I received this bottle of Clean & Clear from Home Testers Club complimentary in return for a honest review. I found this scrub exfoliating cleanser to actually feel like I was pampering my skin . When applying I could immediately feel if going to work deep within my pores. The tingling sensation makes me feel like it's doing exactly what it was made for. I live in and area where my face and skin are constantly exposed to the sun. In return from so much exposure my skin tends to become dry and a bit flaky. I have to use a scrub exfoliator to remove the dried skin . The scrub is gentle to the touch not overly abrasive. It left my skin feeling smooth and clean . The only thing with it being a gel , it didn't come off as easily as I thought it would . It's much easier applying this gel scrub in the shower . I would say it makes me feel like my face was completely pampered .Liza665

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

if you suffer from blackheads problem like me, once you have used a good scrub like this, wash your face well and run ice over the blackheads area so that the pores close up quickly. You do not want the blackheads to multiply. Overall, I am enjoying this scrub and it is gradually working on my blackheads. I am going to continue using this because it is a good product! But the smell is badjasleen.p

I liking this product , even though it is the first time I took exfoliate from this brand. It has small beds inside the gel , but with massaging into the face you don't feel harshness whatsoever. My skin responded well to it , no redness or breakouts. It doesn't dry out your skin. I use it once-twice in a week. Just moisturizing afterwards.svitlana.p

This scrub is great.It's always difficult to find a scrubs that's the right balance. Not too harsh that it will cause skin roughness and not too soft that it won't wear dead skin cells away. This apricot scrub is too good. Right balance. The skin feels so smooth after using. The moisturizing effect is great as well.This is a part of my routine now.anjana.s

Just goes to show that 'one size doesn't fit all'. This seems to be a product that you either love or hate. I have only started using it recently but the results are amazing. I have qite dry flakey skin and this product made a huge difference even after the first use. I stopped using it for a few days and my skin rapidly deteriorated again. Used several other facial scrubs but found them quite harsh and agravating. From other reviews it's clear that this product isn't for everyone. All I can comment on is my personal experience and I would give it 5* all the way. If you have dry, flakey or afravated skin I strongly suggest you give it a try. Hopefully you will be as impressed as I have been.John

I've been on a bit of a face wash testing train recently, trying a different product for a month each. This Clearasil face wash I have found to be one of the superior face washes I've tried. The formulation is great for for my very oily skin. Cleans great, clears blemishes and despite not being a scrub, I can clearly tell that it exfoliates the skin. Well done Clearasil, this is one product that does not need a "New and Improved" touch-up. Leave as is, it's a great facial cleanser.Jonny A

Okay, this stuff is a HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT. I have struggled with huge blackheads and whiteheads since puberty, along with acne on my nose and forehead. This scrub started clearing up my acne in a matter of DAYS. it's absolutely awesome at shrinking and diminishing the appearance of whiteheads and blackheads as well, and generally just made my skin look a lot brighter and less congested. The exfoliant can be pretty harsh on sensitive skin, but I believe they have an exfoliant-free cleanser as well. My only qualm is that it can be a little drying- but that shouldn't be an issue if you pair it with a non-comedogenic moisturizer.amy.l

I use this every night. It removes my make up and makes my skin feel so soft. The woman who does my facials highly recommended this product. I've been using it for over a year. Wonderful product!HappyinCA

This product ranks highly among the other exfoliators I have used; first, it's a natural product, second, it's effective without being harsh, third is smells great, and lastly, although the product jar is relatively small (especially compared to Fresh's exfoliators) you only require a small amount a couple times a week. Sometimes, I will start with this exfoliator, leave it on for about a minute, then add the Vitamin Infused cleanser, and rinse [from Clarity RX] to ensure I receive the best clean (this product tends to leave beads behind but I notice when I mix the products, that doesn't occur].Katherine
