I have to start by saying I didn't have high hopes for this product as I usually prefer a strong scrub like the Exfoliating scrub by Clinique. I also like fine microbeads and didn't think this gentle scrub would do the trick. I was pleasantly surprised. First tried it on my hand and liked the thickish consistency as well as the size of the beads which were finer than I anticipated. The product has a nice clean oaty smell - definite plus. Price is very good, so affordable. Packaging practical and works well in the shower. My skin felt clean after using it to exfoliate - was not irritated and I definitely noticed a more glowing complexion. Personally I don't like using masks much, and cannot say I felt using it as a mask did much for my skin. All and all I think it is a good product to complement cleansing and I love the shiny, clean face I had after using the product. Will recommend and will be happy to buy again.

Tips: Use after your cleanser to have super clean skin and a glowing complexion
St Ives Oatmeal scrub & mask is a lovely creamy natural product. Its got only natural exfoliators so no nasty plastic in it to pollute our waters. This scrub promises to be very gentle and leaving skin soft which it certainly does, it's very creamy and smells divine - primarily of honey. This is hypoallergenic & dermatologist tested which is important for me as I have extremely sensitive skin and it didn't irritate me at all which is so good as lots of 'natural' products do end up irritating me for some reason.
I love that the scrub pieces are natural, as I try to avoid buying scrubs with plastic in them. Works well as a scrub and good as a mask. I scrubbed in the shower after leaving it on for 5 or so minutes while washing my hair which worked well. I liked that it is multi tasking and great in the shower to get a few things done at once. Nice soft fragrance. I would purchase this again.
Tips: Using as a mask in the shower, then scrubbing off after a few minutes is great. Saves time and I feel its a nice treat in the shower!
This product can be used as a mask or scrub. I've used it as both and was happy with the outcome. After using it as a scrub, I find my skin appears calmer and not so patchy, and after the mask it is clear, calm and soft.
I like that it is a double and I can choose whether to use it quickly or take my time and use it as a mask. The little scrubby bits are quite small so it doesn't feel like sandpaper. The cleanser is nice and creamy too.
Tips: Try to keep it away from your hairline. I find the little scrubby bits get stuck in my hair and they can be a nuisance to get out
i find this mask is very great ,i applied it as a mask and rub a little bit when i washed it off ,every time after use i found that my skin got brighten and softer ,pores are smaller and acnes were calmed down ,its a good mask for sensitive oily skin .
This product has an amazing consistancy that feels so soothing on the skin. No irritation at all and has smoothen my skin so much since using. It smells great, and is so compact that I often pack it when travelling.
Tips: Only use once every two weeks as to not make the skin too raw with regular use
Exfoliates but way too harsh for my skin. Smells nice, Doesn't work well as a mask, more of a scrub. Stings- not suitable for sensitive skin. Overall okay for the price.
I really liked this product it was a good daily scrub that did not leave your face dry or irritated. I have sensitive skin so that is a huge plus. The mask aspect was great it truly did what it said and left my face felling hydrated. Excellent product that can be brought at the supermarket and a great price. Would defiantly recommend
150mls really nice fragrance, definitely smell the honey, texture has a grainy consistency, was gentle on my skin and my skin was very smooth after using, i felt my moisturizer went on better after i had used this scrub,nice lather and you didn't have to use a lot, will be using this in the future, a great product
Tips: only need a small amount
I received the scrub on 10 March and have used it every day since then. I really liked the product and will continue to use it and buy more. On the pack it says it is a gentle exfoliant and that is correct , I never had any issues but found my skin was softer and had a cleaner feel. I found it easy to remove with warm water whether using as a scrub or mask .It is fairly thin but there was just enough graininess to the product to achieve the results. Love the perfume , it is very subtle and mellow . Good size attractive pack easy to squeeze the product from the tube and it sits up easily on the lid.
Tips: I felt there could have been a little more direction as to the amount to use especially if wanting to leave on as a mask
