A few months back,I read about how harsh this is for use on the skin as it's extremely abrasive and the beads can cause micro tears on the skin which is bad.
I have bought this twice before though.
Once for my face a few years back and once again a few months ago,strictly for use on my body as I like to exfoliate my body.
All I remember(because it's been a few years) from when I was using it on my face,is that I didn't experience any issues with it and it worked ok for me,perhaps because I had really great skin at the time anyway.
Keep in mind,it IS a very exfoliating scrub.
A few months ago,I was looking for a good scrub for the body and I stumbled upon this at a store.I bought it even though I had read about the danger of micro tears a while back,mainly because the skin on our body is less sensitive than the one on our face.
As a body scrub it does a good job,especially if you use it twice a week after a warm shower.
I want to add it has a light fruity apricot scent.Also,because of the nature of the packaging,it's hard to get the last bits of product out of the bottle.
I definitely wouldn't use it on my face due to it being too abrasive for the skin on the face but I would use it on my body.Less    -
