Gentle Scrub

Because I started a new skin care routine recently that includes micro needling, which causes damage and makes your skin pretty sensitive, I decided to try this scrub for sensitive skin.

The bottle contains 4 ounces of product, but a little does go a long way. The cream is more of a medium thickness, white color and doesn't have a lot of odor to it except for whatever is included in the ingredients list. Ingredients list is pretty comprehensive with lots of botanicals and vitamin like Vitamins A,C and E.

What I like the most is the fine texture of the grit this scrub has. Very fine particles, which makes it easier to really get in all the pores and folds of your face and neck.

I washed off easily and left my skin feeling super clean and any last trace of makeup was washed away completely.

I've been using this every other day for about two weeks now, and I really like it.

This is the first time in many years that I have consistently used a scrub on my face, and I'm happy that I've had the opportunity to try this face scrub.

I have several products that I use these days in my daily anti-aging beauty routine. I have serums that I use in the morning and at night, and a moisturizer for morning and night as well. And I use different moisturizers that are thicker on my neck. I also sometimes use a toner after I remove makeup, on the days that I wear makeup.

I wanted to try a scrub because with all the various products that I use, there is the possibility of my pores getting a bit clogged, and possibly my skin looking dull, so a gentle scrub makes sense.

I also have extremely sensitive skin. I break out in hives with about 90-95% of the products that I try. But I also think that it's important to nourish and care for my skin as I age, and I am 53, so when I have the opportunity, I continue to try new products in the hope that I will have another brand or item that I can add to my list of safe items to use.

Happily, this is a safe item! I have no negative reaction at all to this. My face feels good after I use it, and there is no itching or burning at all. It's hard to tell, but I feel like my skin is a bit brighter and it glows a bit more than it did before I started using this two weeks ago. I like the way it feels when I'm exfoliating my skin, and I like the way my skin feels soft and hydrated after as well. Going forward, I plan to use this every three days instead of every other day because I feel like twice a week is perfect to clear away any of the serums, makeup, or moisturizer that my usual gentle foam cleanser misses. But I wanted to try it every other day for two weeks so that I could give an honest review of its benefits or negatives. Happily, it's all benefits and no negatives for my skin!

As others have mentioned, it has a light citrus scent, and when looking at the ingredients, there is citrus on the list. It's a pleasant scent that I like, and I find it natural. I can smell it while I am using the product, but there is no remaining scent once I wash it off my face, so it doesn't linger.

It comes in a 4-oz bottle for $20.00. At my current planned usage of twice a week, I expect that this will easily last 4-5 months, so repurchasing this 2-3 times a year is a small investment for the lovely benefits that I am seeing in my glowing skin. I'm interested in checking out the other items this company is offering because I've had such good luck with this gentle scrub, and it's at a good price point as well. Also to note is that it's manufactured in the USA.

This product is advertised as “safe for sensitive skin” which can lead people to think it has a gentle texture, it does not. The scrub has some grit to it that works well to give your face a deep clean feel. There is no artificial fragrance added which is why I think it is a good choice for sensitive skin. Sensitive skin can be interpreted in a few different ways and I think it’s important to realize that when considering this product. My husband has sensitive skin due to eczema and I think this is perfect for him. A baby has sensitive skin and I would not use this on a baby.

I have mixed feelings about this skin scrub. It is listed as being for sensitive skin & while its somewhat gentle, I could not use it on my face because of how course it is. It does serve wonderfully as a pre-shave skin scrub for my legs however. The scent is rather odd. Its a bit citrus but not in a good way, more like a hospital type of smell? Over all, the product does work well, but for the amount you receive I don't quite think its the best value. I do like that it didn't leave my legs feeling dry or too stripped down so to speak.

This scrub was a bit more exfoliating than I expected for something labeled “gentle,” but surprisingly my skin didn’t feel irritated afterward. The texture is definitely scrubby, so I wouldn’t use it every day, especially if you have sensitive skin.

The scent isn’t bad, but it’s not pleasant either kind of neutral and forgettable. The good part is that after rinsing, my skin did feel very smooth and clean without feeling tight or dry.

Seems like a decent value especially not using it every day. I’ll use it until it’s gone, but don’t plan on repurchasing.

Overall, it works and leaves skin soft, but it’s stronger than I expected and not something I’d reach for all the time.
