Is it a moisturizer or an exfoliant

I use the Bright Skin Cleanser and I am a fan so it was a natural progression for me to try this product after Red Currant moisturizer ran out. At first it was OK, but after about a month I began to feel a sort of grit in the cream which only got worse over time. I stored it in a dark place so I wasn't sure what the cause of it was. I contacted Eminence and their response was that it could happen and that I should add a little water which to me would blunt the effectiveness of the SPF factor which was why I bought it in the first place. It didn't work anyway and it sort of balled up on my skin, unpleasant to say the least. I contacted Eminence again and got crickets, which really chagrined me because I am a fan of the line. I was not impressed by this. Eventually the grit became so unpleasant and no amount of water would fix it. I eventually stopped using it and then threw it away. Considering the price of this product it is absolutely not worth it, and the fact that Eminence doesn't seem to stand behind their products was an eye opener.
