My new favorite makeup remover/first cleanse!...It is unfortunately very pricey, but honestly it's worth it to me now that I don't have to scrub at my face and eyes with micellar water anymore.

i love this scrub. it is quite 'scrubby' in my opinion -- it doesnt lie about it being made of volcanic sand, because it feels like you're rubbing sand on your face, haha. leaves my skin feeling cool and minty. i use a small amount after cleansing two times a week, on average, and in combination with the rest of my routine it keeps my acne under control. i had to stop using it for a while b/c it's expensive and i did actually notice a difference in my skin once i stopped; no crazy breakouts or anything like that, and i wouldnt say im reliant on this product, but this scrub does a good job and certainly has a noticeable benefit for me. i wish it came in a larger size but then it'd be even more pricey....I use very little...size of half a pea, with water on my hands. This takes care of both face and neck combined.

I personally really like this. It's perfect for someone (like me) who wears full face regularly and wants to double-cleanse but has dry skin. ...It's a little too rich for me to use on the rest of my face.
