I received samples of this stuff from Sephora all the time and finally decided to buy the full size tube with my 20% off. The formula is creamy with micro-fine scrub grains. It's almost sandy but the grains don't irritate or burn my sensitive skin. Dead skin and debris gets removed and my skin feels fresh. I just moisten my fingers slightly and massage the product all over my face then rinse off. It's great for those stubborn ingrown chin hairs too.
