I will be the first to admit that i really miss micro beads. I know they're awful things but they made lovely facial scrubs and everything else since feels harsh by comparison. This scrub is nice. but at it's advertised price i'm not certain i would purchase it. The scrub was fairly fine but still a touch rough and the papaya, as it generally does, it a bit too active for my skin making me very red when used.

I got this as a freebie with a sephora order and I found it pretty harsh on my face at first. I realized using less is better with water. I don't mind it, but I doubt I would buy a whole bottle. I'd stick to St Ives for exfoliating. I didn't notice any change in my skin.
