Don't use everyday!
Although I can't tell you how to regulate your skin care routine if you have one, I just recommend that you don't use a manual exfoliator everyday! You want to use it maybe once or twice a week (but no more), because you need to give your skin some time to heal and rebuild itself in between scrubs. Over exfoliating can cause tearing in the skin which can lead to MORE flaky dry skin. This product g...read moreets a "B" in my book. It's a wonderful exfoliator that buffs off most of the dry flakes on my face. Like other Clarins products, I don't think it does a remarkable job at removing makeup (DEFINITELY steer clear from using it around the eye area!). I think a good cleanser can remove makeup well and still be gentle to use around the eye area to remove eye makeup (because at the end of the day it's where we still have the most makeup left over!). As far as its purifying claims, I'm not completely sold. Although I do like how my skin still feels clean after using this, it's still to be used no more than twice a week (or once a week if you have sensitive skin). The beads in this ARE silica beads, so I would be aware of that for sensitive or super acne-prone skin. However, I have not had a breakout due to this as of the moment. It's not my favorite exfoliator, it's still a good one. My favorite is Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Buffing Beads because that has jojoba beads as its manual scrubber and glycolic acid as its chemical exfoliant, so you get twice the exfoliating power.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

You don't need to exfoliate this much!
If you are like most people and wash your face more than once a day, you shouldn't use this product because it could damage your skin and it shouldn't be used in eye area.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Very gentle!
I really enjoyed using this cleanser! I typically do not like orange scented products but this one smells great and very refreshing :D The exfoliating particles are really fine in this cleanser that I can use it nightly (with VERY gentle pressure), usually every other day. It does a great job and I have no complaints :)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
