Oxy Volcanic Ash Acne Scrub
In my personal opinion this product was too strongly perfumed for my liking. After using this product I experienced redness and irritation on my skin.
bentonite and kaolin and the like
With bentonite in 2nd place on the non-medical protion of the ingredients, and kaolin and charcoal powder and the like lower on the list, the volcanic scrub is a good balance between powerful anti-acne ingredients carried in a cleanser. Blue dye is the 3rd ingredients so... I will not use this as an acne treatment for myself or loved ones.
Salicylic Acid is great but the smell!
I think salicylic acid and volcanic ash are great exfoliants for your skin but this literally smelled like toothpaste and cotton candy. It’s not a smell I want to put on my face but I can imagine using this as a leg scrub.
Causes breakouts
Look, I have sensitive skin. This scrub literally gave me MORE acne. I used it twice, thinking the first wash was a fluke. I was wrong. On top of that, there aren't even that many scrubby bead things in this, so it doesn't even exfoliate well. However, it works reasonably well as a body scrub and doesn't cause any body breakouts.
Not for me
It’s a good product but definitely not for me. I have sensitive skin and after using this product I got a very bad chemical burn all over my face. I feel like this would be perfect if my skin wasn’t so sensitive.

Not for me unfortunately
This product was not for me unfortunately. I have combo skin and suffer from acne and was excited to try this product. I'm used to having different things on my skin, I'm always trying new product searching for the one. This product unfortunately fell short for me. It dried out my skin badly. Even after moisturising and using the product less, my skin just feels irritated by this product. It smells delicious and the consistency is everything I would look for, just unfortunately it didn't work for me!
Super super messy
I couldn’t believe how messy this product was. It stained my cloth and got everywhere while trying to wash it off. It smelled pretty good, but I’m not sure I noticed a difference in my skin
Not for me
Oxy Volcanic Ash Acne Scrub
This product contains 2% Salicylic Acid, Activated Charcoal and Benzonite Clay which are all great for acne. I like that Oxy is broadening their ingredients, but this product was way too drying for my skin and not something I would purchase. There are many other facial scrubs on the market that do not contain alcohol that are good for acne prone skin. Unfortunately this is a miss for me.
Had a sever allergy reaction to this product
I was extremely excited to try this product but unfortunately I had a huge reaction and my face turned red instantly after I used it. I absolutely loved the way it felt when I first applied it, had like a cooling sensation with a beautiful smell. I was being very hopefully for the results. My face feels extremely soft, however with the reaction I couldn’t continue to use the product unfortunately. I would still recommend it to others, however test small area before applying.
