Review (2/5): Some Good, Mostly Bad, A Little Surprising
The good: The scent - prior to mixing the powder with water, there is strong orange scent, which I like.
The bad: It's a powder that you have to mix prior to use. Directions say to mix it in a bowl or just mix it in your hand prior to use. Well, I went with "hand" option. The first time I got a thick paste that was pretty gritty, which I like, but it left my skin dried out but with a feeling that there was still some residue on it despite having rinsed quite well. Second attempt produced a thinner mixture which was again gritty enough but still left me with the same results.
The surprising: Although I didn't care for this product as a "facial scrub" it did have an interesting side effect: it lightened an age spot that's on me cheekbone area. After the first use I noticed it but didn't really attribute it to the scrub. After the second use if was more pronounced and I can't attribute it to anything other than the scrub. While some may consider the lightening of age spots a good thing, I don't. If I wanted to lighten anything I'd buy a product that claimed that ability. The fact that it had that effect kind of tells me I don't want to use the product anymore. Between the hassle of having to mix the scrub and the effects it had I'll not be using it again. Some products I order but don't end up liking I'll give to other family members but not this one. Not recommended.
