Daily ExfoliPowder typically exfoliates as well as or better than other exfoliant cleansers.  One thing ExfoliPowder doesn't do is irritate and inflame the skin from excessive abrasive effects.  This is in keeping with the Korean philosophy of respecting skin integrity through calm and gentle treatment.  Cleansing with ExfoliPowder involves the experience of smooth and creamy lather combined with a great light scent. The interesting part, however, is what happens after the skin is rinsed and dried.  The skin feels smooth, supple, and definitely 'polished'.  It also looks great and doesn’t become inflamed from the experience.
