Review (5/5): I love it! I have a few cheap exfoliators which ...
I, too, ended up with it because of a pushy salesperson in San Diego. I typically am cheap so this was a spontaneous splurge (on several items courtesy of a "great deal"). I love it! I have a few cheap exfoliators which can be used on an almost daily basis; this is not the same. This does a deep exfoliation that leaves my skin so much smoother (so, therefore, should only be used 1-2x/week). And, in fact, I also use this once a week on the backs of my hands for the same reason-takes a decade off my hands by removing dead skin and improving their smooth look! I admit that I was hesitant to use this very often at first because it's so expensive but I do think it's slowly drying out, even though I leave it sealed. Like the other commenter, I think if I left it alone for a long period of time, it will become a blob. I've had it five months. So the lessen here is that it's a miracle product that should be used (happily!) once purchased, for best results.
