This is a really nice facial scrub. I have been using it consistently for several weeks. Previously, I have used Saint Ives, but I actually like this one much more. It is much thicker and feels like it really exfoliates better. I only use it 2 to 3 times a week in the shower. In my opinion, it is too intense of an exfoliation to use daily. The product works great. Has no scent or odors. Rinses away easily after use. Does not cause any irritation to my sensitive facial skin or eyes. Will definitely continue to buy this product.

I’ve been a subscriber to all of the beauty boxes and received thousands of products over the years but this is one of those holy grail type products you try and absolutely love. Acure is my all time favorite scrub, I only use it twice a week because it’s super gritty and cleans my face like you wouldn’t believe!!! Everyone compliments me on my smooth skin and I tell them to try this scrub – I’m 47 years old and when I go out to lunch with my 29 year old son, people think we’re on a date until I tell them he’s my son and they’re shocked! A great scrub is the foundation of healthy, silky smooth and wrinkle free skin. I’ll buy Acure products forever, they’re so amazing!!! Just try it and see what a difference it makes.

UPDATE: So I’m updating my review just because the product has gone through a re-formulation (2018). They’ve added (or upped) French Green Clay. The old version (201-17) was much grainier and I loved it. This one is simultaneously grainy & scrubby AND slick and slippery (from the clay). I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure how I would like it. It’s a weird combination that I’ve never felt before but… IT WORKS! You still get the nice exfoliating but the clay adds a soothing/cleansing quality that, in hindsight, the earlier version didn’t really have. So two thumbs up! My only (not important to the product itself) negative is that I don’t like the new branding. The old packaging had a “natural”, “organic” feel to it while this big yellow top and white bottom just feels like it’s screaming “GENERIC PHARMA” at me. Of course that makes no difference to me because I’m already in love with the brand and products, BUT, shallow as it may sound, had it had this branding/packaging when I was first shopping for this kind of product, I most likely would’ve passed it by… Sad, but true.
I was planning on using this for longer before reviewing but just can’t wait! It’s mid-winter: dry air, sallow (olive-toned) complexion and a toddler in tow so that I’ve let my regular beauty regimen slide. All this means that my skin has seen better days! Nothing too dramatic, but hyperpigmentation from some old zits along my jawline (too many sweets that week?), uneven skin tone, big congested pores on my nose and the inner cheek area are driving me nuts! In with this scrub. I was super excited about the ingredients but the first use still exceeded my wildest expectations! The smell is divine! First you get a whiff of a gentle spearmint-type smell with very green/herbal undertones. Hard to explain but very refreshing and nice. If you’re into bath & bodyworks style heavy artificial fragrance then this may not be your cup of tea! If you’re super sensitive to artificial ingredients (like me) and the smell of conventional stuff gives you a headache, then you’ll probably love this!
Next- the texture. The scrubbing granules are finer than St Ives apricot scrub (which most have probably tried). It’s also less watery with the green clay giving it an *almost* foaming action and making it kind of stay put on your face. I left it on for a minute or two after scrubbing just for fun and it felt great.
The best part though is how it feels when you rinse it off! My face hasn’t been this soft since…well- I don’t know when! Babyhood, it seems! No exaggeration! Even my husband was amazed!
Of course one use isn’t going to show changes in skin tone or hyperpigmentation, but even if this scrub didn’t help with those things, I would still keep using it forever! My skin feels awesome (next day) and I barely needed to moisturize after using the scrub last night.

Okay the smell and texture to this soap are amazing. It’s a soft earthy smell, which I like and it’s very fitting for the color/texture of the product. I love that it’s nontoxic as well. I personally like an exfoliating face wash and this is the real deal. It scrubs very well. The price is a little high for me which is why I’m giving it 4 instead of 5 stars, it’s face wash. It shouldn’t be expensive

This is hands down the best face scrub I’ve ever used! The scent is soft, easy to use, and the quality is great—perfect size, practical package, and noticeable benefits. The coverage is smooth, the color looks natural, and the texture feels light. It gently exfoliates without being too harsh, and my skin feels incredibly smooth and fresh after every use. It gives me a healthy glow and helps keep my pores clear. Total favorite!

Buy this! I have tried expensive exfoliators and everything in between and this is without a doubt the BEST one I’ve ever tried! The only time my skin has felt this soft and smooth is after a hydrating facial at the spa. It is really amazing how baby soft my skin feels. After I use this product I follow it with a serum and moisturizer and they just glide on my skin. The cherry on top? The price!! This is crazy inexpensive for the unbelievable results this product delivers. So I say again, BUY THIS!!

I will go to my grave behind this face mask, this is the only scrubbing product I’ve been using on my face for the last 5 to 6 years I swear about it. I’ve been using this product so long I’ve used it when it had its old packaging. This is one of the best products I’ve used I am an African-American with mixed skin type, oily, and dry combination, especially in my tea zone and prior to this product. I always fought trying to find different products to help clean my skin that weren’t going to irritate it. This product is vegan and it has a great scrubbing agent.

Excellent! Not for very sensitive skin but great for combination/large pores/flaky. Really large and harsh grains, texture is not creamy! You can smell the clay in it too – nice green smell. A little goes a long way, so hazelnut size is yoir friend and only once a week. The mechanical rub does the job A LOT! The skin is smooth and clean after. This scrub removed greatly flaky skin off my bf’s nose and even from behind is ears – he has a tendency to peel a little. We both have clean and smooth skins now. I will deffo buy again prob also their other cosmetics!

Ive been using this product for a while and I know something is changed with this new look. It doesnt feel the same, it doesnt act the same. Consistency is not the same. Apparently, the ingredients are not changed, but I dont have, not even close, to the results I used to get after exfoliating. And I know that your skin can grow out of something you used too much but this is not the case. Sadly I wont buy it again.

Great overall product from Acure. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and the smell is very pleasant. I was looking for a fine particle facial exfoliating scrub like the one I love from Trader Joe’s, so I had high hopes for this one. The texture of this scrub was not fine and delicate enough for me. If you are looking for a true gentle/fine particle scrub, look elsewhere. Did not irritate my sensitive and eczema prone skin however. If you like a scrub that’s slightly more heavy duty, this could work for you.

UPDATE: So I’m updating my review just because the product has gone through a re-formulation (2018). They’ve added (or upped) French Green Clay. The old version (201-17) was much grainier and I loved it. This one is simultaneously grainy & scrubby AND slick and slippery (from the clay). I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure how I would like it. It’s a weird combination that I’ve never felt before but… IT WORKS! You still get the nice exfoliating but the clay adds a soothing/cleansing quality that, in hindsight, the earlier version didn’t really have. So two thumbs up! My only (not important to the product itself) negative is that I don’t like the new branding. The old packaging had a “natural”, “organic” feel to it while this big yellow top and white bottom just feels like it’s screaming “GENERIC PHARMA” at me. Of course that makes no difference to me because I’m already in love with the brand and products, BUT, shallow as it may sound, had it had this branding/packaging when I was first shopping for this kind of product, I most likely would’ve passed it by… Sad, but true.
I was planning on using this for longer before reviewing but just can’t wait! It’s mid-winter: dry air, sallow (olive-toned) complexion and a toddler in tow so that I’ve let my regular beauty regimen slide. All this means that my skin has seen better days! Nothing too dramatic, but hyperpigmentation from some old zits along my jawline (too many sweets that week?), uneven skin tone, big congested pores on my nose and the inner cheek area are driving me nuts! In with this scrub. I was super excited about the ingredients but the first use still exceeded my wildest expectations! The smell is divine! First you get a whiff of a gentle spearmint-type smell with very green/herbal undertones. Hard to explain but very refreshing and nice. If you’re into bath & bodyworks style heavy artificial fragrance then this may not be your cup of tea! If you’re super sensitive to artificial ingredients (like me) and the smell of conventional stuff gives you a headache, then you’ll probably love this!
Next- the texture. The scrubbing granules are finer than St Ives apricot scrub (which most have probably tried). It’s also less watery with the green clay giving it an *almost* foaming action and making it kind of stay put on your face. I left it on for a minute or two after scrubbing just for fun and it felt great.
The best part though is how it feels when you rinse it off! My face hasn’t been this soft since…well- I don’t know when! Babyhood, it seems! No exaggeration! Even my husband was amazed!

I will go to my grave behind this face mask, this is the only scrubbing product I’ve been using on my face for the last 5 to 6 years I swear about it. I’ve been using this product so long I’ve used it when it had its old packaging. This is one of the best products I’ve used I am an African-American with mixed skin type, oily, and dry combination, especially in my tea zone and prior to this product. I always fought trying to find different products to help clean my skin that weren’t going to irritate it. This product is vegan and it has a great scrubbing agent. That’s also natural and it has kept my skin looking great for the last 5 to 6 years I swear by and I use it daily

Excellent! Not for very sensitive skin but great for combination/large pores/flaky. Really large and harsh grains, texture is not creamy! You can smell the clay in it too – nice green smell. A little goes a long way, so hazelnut size is yoir friend and only once a week. The mechanical rub does the job A LOT! The skin is smooth and clean after. This scrub removed greatly flaky skin off my bf’s nose and even from behind is ears – he has a tendency to peel a little. We both have clean and smooth skins now. I will deffo buy again prob also their other cosmetics!

Ive been using this product for a while and I know something is changed with this new look. It doesnt feel the same, it doesnt act the same. Consistency is not the same. Apparently, the ingredients are not changed, but I dont have, not even close, to the results I used to get after exfoliating. And I know that your skin can grow out of something you used too much but this is not the case. Sadly I wont buy it again.

UPDATE: So I’m updating my review just because the product has gone through a re-formulation (2018). They’ve added (or upped) French Green Clay. The old version (201-17) was much grainier and I loved it. This one is simultaneously grainy & scrubby AND slick and slippery (from the clay). I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure how I would like it. It’s a weird combination that I’ve never felt before but… IT WORKS! You still get the nice exfoliating but the clay adds a soothing/cleansing quality that, in hindsight, the earlier version didn’t really have. So two thumbs up! My only (not important to the product itself) negative is that I don’t like the new branding. The old packaging had a “natural”, “organic” feel to it while this big yellow top and white bottom just feels like it’s screaming “GENERIC PHARMA” at me. Of course that makes no difference to me because I’m already in love with the brand and products, BUT, shallow as it may sound, had it had this branding/packaging when I was first shopping for this kind of product, I most likely would’ve passed it by… Sad, but true.
I was planning on using this for longer before reviewing but just can’t wait! It’s mid-winter: dry air, sallow (olive-toned) complexion and a toddler in tow so that I’ve let my regular beauty regimen slide. All this means that my skin has seen better days! Nothing too dramatic, but hyperpigmentation from some old zits along my jawline (too many sweets that week?), uneven skin tone, big congested pores on my nose and the inner cheek area are driving me nuts! In with this scrub. I was super excited about the ingredients but the first use still exceeded my wildest expectations! The smell is divine! First you get a whiff of a gentle spearmint-type smell with very green/herbal undertones. Hard to explain but very refreshing and nice. If you’re into bath & bodyworks style heavy artificial fragrance then this may not be your cup of tea! If you’re super sensitive to artificial ingredients (like me) and the smell of conventional stuff gives you a headache, then you’ll probably love this!
Next- the texture. The scrubbing granules are finer than St Ives apricot scrub (which most have probably tried). It’s also less watery with the green clay giving it an *almost* foaming action and making it kind of stay put on your face. I left it on for a minute or two after scrubbing just for fun and it felt great.
The best part though is how it feels when you rinse it off! My face hasn’t been this soft since…well- I don’t know when! Babyhood, it seems! No exaggeration! Even my husband was amazed!
Of course one use isn’t going to show changes in skin tone or hyperpigmentation, but even if this scrub didn’t help with those things, I would still keep using it forever! My skin feels awesome (next day) and I barely needed to moisturize after using the scrub last night.

This is okay. It doesn’t feel like a scrub. It’s more like a polisher so that part is true. The smell is a bit much for me.

Buy this! I have tried expensive exfoliators and everything in between and this is without a doubt the BEST one I’ve ever tried! The only time my skin has felt this soft and smooth is after a hydrating facial at the spa. It is really amazing how baby soft my skin feels. After I use this product I follow it with a serum and moisturizer and they just glide on my skin. The cherry on top? The price!! This is crazy inexpensive for the unbelievable results this product delivers. So I say again, BUY THIS!!

Great overall product from Acure. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and the smell is very pleasant. I was looking for a fine particle facial exfoliating scrub like the one I love from Trader Joe’s, so I had high hopes for this one. The texture of this scrub was not fine and delicate enough for me. If you are looking for a true gentle/fine particle scrub, look elsewhere. Did not irritate my sensitive and eczema prone skin however. If you like a scrub that’s slightly more heavy duty, this could work for you.

Actually I didnt know I was buying a scrub because the packaging is exactly the same as the cleansing gel. So I tried it for the first time but it turned out great. Very fine scrubbing and leaves a smooth after effect.

Excellent! Not for very sensitive skin but great for combination/large pores/flaky. Really large and harsh grains, texture is not creamy! You can smell the clay in it too – nice green smell. A little goes a long way, so hazelnut size is yoir friend and only once a week. The mechanical rub does the job A LOT! The skin is smooth and clean after. This scrub removed greatly flaky skin off my bf’s nose and even from behind is ears – he has a tendency to peel a little. We both have clean and smooth skins now. I will deffo buy again prob also their other cosmetics!

I love this stuff! I got a sample of it years ago and fell in love with it and have been using it ever since. It keeps my skin smooth, glowy, and blemish-free. I use it daily. It’s super gentle.

I will go to my grave behind this face mask, this is the only scrubbing product I’ve been using on my face for the last 5 to 6 years I swear about it. I’ve been using this product so long I’ve used it when it had its old packaging. This is one of the best products I’ve used I am an African-American with mixed skin type, oily, and dry combination, especially in my tea zone and prior to this product. I always fought trying to find different products to help clean my skin that weren’t going to irritate it. This product is vegan and it has a great scrubbing agent. That’s also natural and it has kept my skin looking great for the last 5 to 6 years I swear by and I use it daily

I highly recommend this face scrub. I have very flaky skin and congested pores, and it has been very helpful for me. I also have dry, sensitive skin, and it hasn’t damaged my skin since using it.

Didnt work for me caused severe break outs but smells great

Don’t feel it brighten my skin or removed dead skin. It’s really harsh the skin and makes a mess.
