Review (4/5): Gentle Exfoliator
I wasn't sure what to expect from this, I anticipated a reasonably "scrubby" exfoliator due to the name and though it does provide some scrubbing action it certainly isn't as...abrasive?...as I thought it might be. I tend to like a more vigorous cleanser, so while I didn't DISLIKE this, it maybe wasn't quite what I had hoped for as far as giving a really deep-clean resurfacing. However, it is soothing and does provide a general everyday clean feeling after using. The formula is actually quite gentle, which will please those with more sensitive skin. It's an easy product to use; twist up the bottom to advance the exfoliating stick, apply to a damp face, and either leave on for about 10 minutes as a mask or feel free to wash off immediately.
It's best to clean off makeup first, so I use a makeup remover wipe to quickly take off anything that I'm wearing before using this. After removing my makeup, I gently dampen my face, smooth on the stick, leave for about 10 minutes, and then rinse off in the shower. It's a great product for traveling because it's compact, non-liquidy (so it won't spill), isn't messy, and is gentle on the skin. That being said, it seems quite overpriced but consider the brand...
