Flake Away is just one of those things. Those things you discover almost by accident then don't like to be without. I literally always have a travel sized tub of this and now that i've panned nearly all the rest of my scrubs I'm buying a big one.
Like all Soap and Glory goodies it comes in kitschy-cute packaging - their brand-typical slightly peachy pink, with the tag line 'It might be fine if her friends are flaky but a lady's legs should never be' - that sort of thing amuses me far more than lofty claims about results.
The exfoliant agent is apricot seed, I believe - wee brown flecks in the thick off-white creamy main product. It has a scent reminiscent of 'Clean on Me' and 'The Righteous Butter' - soft and sweet but not over the top.
It's a gentle scrub with small exfoliant particles, in an oil based base that leaves skin clean, soft and hydrated, with a gentle scent that doesn't compete with lotions.
The only slight drawback comes with the pottle - you either have to juggle slightly to get the lid back on or find somewhere to keep it out of the water until you CAN get the lid back on - excess water in the pottle does, of course, compromise the texture
I’ve never been big on exfoliators, but seeing this for $4 as I was leaving Mecca, it seemed silly not to get it.
I really do like this product. I use it before shaving and it really does result in a closer shave, plus my legs feel so smooth once I’m done in the shower. The smell is really pleasant without being overwhelming, and it’s a really good price for the amount of product. I pair it with the Soap and Glory Righteous Butter body butter and I feels so fresh!
I personally only use this 1-2 times per week, but it isn’t harsh on the skin and I think it would be fine to use daily if that is what you’re looking for.
Overall a good product, good price, definitely worth the purchase.
