This scrub has been my go to scrub for a couple of years now, it's constantly repurchased and if I run out without a backup I often feel gross and no other acne exfoliants compare to it.
I find that this scrub is quite harsh which is something I appreciate about the scrub. This means that my makeup is always removed and I know that the product has cleansed deep into my pores. My face is always left feeling clean and refreshed! Without it my face feels gross and unclean. Due to the harshness of this product I will sometimes alternate to the level below scrub by St Ives aswell. This ensures my face isn't always being aggressively cleaned.
The scent is quite nice and apricotty, I find this really wakes me up in the morning. What I like about this product is that you can definitely feel the exfoliant grains inbetween your fingers and on your face during application - you can really feel it cleaning.
The best part is that it's very affordable and you can find it at your regular supermarket so you can always be sure of it's availability.
I haven't found a scrub that compares to this, I will keep repurchasing this. I definitely believe that this scrub has helped clear my skin and prevent acne blemishes!
I have been using this product since I was a teenager, I really like it as it is quite an abrasive exfoliant (which I prefer) I do not have sensitive skin so I really go to town when I exfoliate in a bid to get all the oil and debris out of my pores.
To be honest I have never noticed a decrease in the amount of blackheads or whiteheads I have and I have never had acne (just the odd hormonal break out) so can't really comment on that aspect of the product but it really does get rid of all the build up dead skin and leaves your skin feeling smooth and glowing.
A great entry level exfoliant.
Tips: Always remember to cleanse thoroughly before exfoliating. This product is not a cleanser and should be used in conjunction with the cleanser of your choice.
