I bought this scrub in February during a random haul (read
post here) when I was looking for some skin treatments during the iffy weather.
I have been using it regularly for a while and it has lived up to its name. It
gently scrubs while providing a layer of hydration at the same time.
It’s a great scrub for the rough areas of the body like elbows
and knees which tend to get rough but
have delicate skin. It contains rose petals (and you can actually see them!)
for a cooling effect and geranium oil that is said to detoxify the skin. It
also has a smoothening effect on irritated skin maybe because of the cooling by
rose petals, I don’t really know. Of course if my skin is irritated then I don’t
scrub, just dab on some of the gel.
My take: This scrub is perfect for all skins.Its not creamy
so people with oily skins can safely use it without breaking out and dry
skinned people can use it without drying out as it does provide some moisture.
Though the instructions say to apply it onto wet skin and
scrub, I love to leave it on my face for 5 min before I start scrubbing because
it imparts such a cooling and hydrating sensation to my skin. Almost like my
skin that was tired after the long office day is waking up and saying “good
morning!”

The scrub is a really good one, especially since I find the
granules are perfect in size. They are not as huge as in the walnut scrubs
(Everyuth etc.) which can damage your skin nor as small as the Olay ….. I could
not even feel the micro particles in Olay and there were far too few of them
anyway! So this in my opinion is a great scrub!
Buy again? I might see if there are other scents in this line, otherwise I will buy it again.
I give it: 3.8/5
