When I first got into looking after my skin this was one of the many products I used, simply because my mother was using it too!
I found it good at the time as I did suffer from quite a problematic skin so it provided me with that nice clean feeling and a great scrub to the skin. My face did go a bit red afterwards but when I was young I just thought that was normal.
This is a good wee product as it does provide you with a nice clean feeling at an affordable price...
Just... Please be careful when using it, as the exfoliating particles in it are quite big and can be harmful to the skin. For some people, like myself it can be just that little too much for the skin on the face.
However if you have just purchsed this products please dont stress. Just ensure you use a light pressure with it and maybe use it only 1-3 times a week (dependant on your skin type/ condition) and be sure to use a moisturiser or lotion afterwards just to restore the skin again. If it is a day lotion/ moisturiser you are applying make sure it has broadspectrum SPF in it as well. You can always use it as a body exfoliator too as the skin on your body is tougher than the skin on your face, so there are no worries there. It will help you get through it quiter too ;)
The micro-beads in this product are superheroes- they dig deep into your skin. While this may seem like a good thing it feels too harsh for the skin. I used this product for years, in awe at how soft my skin felt afterwards. I slowly began to realise this was just a rouse and it was damaging, drying and irritating my skin. I would leave the shower looking like I'd run a 20 km marathon, my skin was inflamed from being over worked. This product is great for a weekly- monthly (depending on your skin) clear out of deep skin to leave a blank canvas. I wouldn't recommend this daily for those with sensitive skin, I found it quite invasive. At the end of the day it depends how you like your skin!
Tips: This is great to target clogged pores around the nose!
