Guilty pleasure!
I know quite a bit about skincare and the reality is that exfoliating scrubs are not as effective as a BHA liquid (or cream) exfoliant, especially for oily, congestion prone skin. HOWEVER, with that being said, I know that many women LOVE scrubs, and I am one of them. As long as they are used in moderation (no more than once a week) it can be a good supplement to a skin care routine. They are cert...read moreainly not necessary, especially if you are using an appropriate exfoliant (AHA's tend to not be as effective as a BHA) and you could easily use a warm, damp washcloth in its place. But let's face it; sometimes a good scrubbin' just feels good! Plus it can really improve circulation and create a glow to the skin. I like this budget scrub for a few reasons; for one, the granules are fairly small (despite the fact that St. Ives considers it a more medium grit). Second, the fragrance, though totally unnecessary and not natural in the least, is fresh. If your skin is prone to irritation, I wouldn't recommend due to the fragrance and granule size, but this is a good, fun option to use (again, in moderation) and is certainly budget friendly. Another thing I like about it is that it is in a cream base. When I use it, I wet my face and use about a dime to nickel size - a little goes a long, long way! I then rinse and use my normal cleanser to make sure any residue from the cream is removed. I would definitely recommend as that "guilty pleasure!"This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Such a nice smell
This is a nice medium exfoliator. It seems gentle enough to use a couple of times a week and the smell is wonderful!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Gentle yet effective!
First off, I love the scent of this scrub. The fresh, citrus smell leaves you feeling refreshed. The actual scrub is very fine which is perfect for sensitive skin. I feel like I'm getting a deep clean and exfoliating all the dead skin but it's still gentle enough on my face.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
