Beware

You only need a little bit of this to use to scrub your face. A very little goes a long way but it still feels quite intense, so I would probably suggest something else for delicate skin. The scent is quite pleasant--it's like a nutty citrus scent but it's very light. If you use it in the shower, make sure to rinse out your tub in the end or else you'll have little balls all over the bottom of your tub! It does make your skin feel soft and you will glow after using this. My only complaint--the scrub's particles may be a little too large for some. Similarly to the St. Ives Apricot scrub which many people love, they do not realize that the seeds are too large and can cause micro-tears in your skin which can make flake-prone skin worse. I normally use a micro-exfoliant which never made my skin flakey, but I opted to try this scrub because the particles were a little bigger. However, after a few times of using this, within days I noticed new patches of flakey skin on my cheeks and nose. I normally do not have problems with dry skin and I didn't have problems with my old exfoliation regimen. Therefore, I believe that what MAY have given me this problem of new-found flakey skin was the walnut scrub (I do not rule out the possibility of other environmental factors). I went back to my old regimen and I haven't had a problem since. I'm not speaking against this walnut scrub or the St. Ives Apricot scrub--but only because it does not work for ME. There are many people who use either scrub for a while and have not had any problems. It may be likely that my skin might be a little more delicate than the skin belonging to avid fans of this scrub or St. Ives. It simply does not work for me. Unless you are an avid Ole fan, the price often scares people away as well. If you do like this product, you may notice many similarities with the St. Ives apricot scrub, but for a muchhhh lower price. — 4 months, 3 weeks ago

I love the results

This leaves your face clean and brighter. The walnut particles will be somewhat abrasive for the sensitive skinned. I initially saw the jar and thought it was a small amount, but a little goes a long way. — 2 years, 6 months ago

Best scrub I've tried
erikakire79 (38 reviews)

I went through alot of drugstore brands and was not impressed. So I caved in and spent a few more dollars on this. My skin is very oily and blochy and this gets it more evened out than I've ever seen. My husband started using it too although he says it smells like orange tire cleaner I like the smell. — 4 years, 4 months ago

I love this scrub and I have tried a lot of them. I have dry, sensitive skin and this works just great. After I use it, my skin always feels like velvet. — 4 years, 6 months ago

excellent scrub
omegakitty (3 reviews)

you have to rub gently if you're sensitive, i am not so i had no issues. It works really well & kept in the shower makes a good morning face wash/exfoliator. I like that it foams a little & it makes my skin super-smooth. The only drawback is that the scent can be a bit overpowering. — 4 years, 6 months ago
