    THE FIRST, AND STILL THE BEST

    Whoever formulated this product long ago is a genius and a saint. I like Clinique's entire skincare and make-up line, and this is hands down my favorite product. Clinique marketed it literally decades before anybody else paid attention to exfoliation, and before anyone ever heard of salicylic acid. It's still the best in the world. It feels "rough" on dry skin, almost like those scratchy apricot scrubs, but is actually very gentle on a wet face. The granules are much finer than the dry product would suggest, dissolving when it hits water. It leaves your skin silky smooth with no residue, without redness, scratching or irritation. As with every other Clinique product, it lasts forever, making it more cost-effective than dirt cheap drugstore scrubs. I frankly don't know how the company even manages to turn a profit. They have a gentler, kinder scrub called 7-Day Scrub Cream. They tag it appropriate for "all skins," but I'd only recommend it for very dry or sensitive skin. It has a fraction of the granules, provides little exfoliation, and the cream base leaves a filmly residue. — 4 years, 1 month ago

    GREAT PRODUCT

    I have been using this scrub for years and i love it! I can't wait for my "scrub" days. My face feels so good and clean afterward. The days I use it, i typically get a couple of comments about how good my makeup looks so I know it is making a difference! — 4 years, 1 month ago

    Just what I was looking for!

    This is the best exfoliating scrub I have ever used. It only takes a tiny amount and goes a long way, leaving my skin feeling very refreshed. The tingling sensation is very relaxing and after using this product my skin feels much better. — 4 years, 1 month ago

    Exfoliates without scratching skin

    I like this product because it smoothes dry flaky skin without harming your skin. I have sensitive skin, so I find this is perfect, and it is fragrance free. — 4 years, 7 months ago

    Good but

    I am only able to use this once or twice per week, it removes dead skin and leaves skin feeling smooth, but it does dry out my face after each use. — 4 years, 7 months ago

    Not that great actually

    I actually found this scrub pretty hard to use. It actually seems to make my skin much MORE flaky, loosening up skin that just stays half stuck on my face after I've washed off the scrub. Perhaps I'm not doing it right, but I followed the directions given on the back to the best of my ability. It is pricey for the amount you get as well. — 4 years, 7 months ago

    Great for oily, acne-prone skin

    I really love this, it works great on my oily,acne-prone, prone to clog pores skin. I use it 3 or 4 times a week with no problems. Leaves your skin soft and feeling clean and fresh. Great price as the tube is a decent size and you only need a little bit. Don't scrub too hard let the scrub do most of the work. The scent if kind of minty. I highly recommended. It helps keep my pores from clogging from sun products and make up. — 4 years, 8 months ago

    Get Glowy Radiant Skin!

    This scrub is very similar to the 7 Day Scrub, however, it doesn't leave that tiny bit of moisture the other 7 Day Scrub gives. I thought that this scrub might be too harsh and gritty on my skin like the Apricot Scrub, but it's not, it's perfect. The girls at the Clinique counter said to not use it when you have acne breakout, because it may spread the bacteria from the acne around your face. My face is so smooth and glowing with radiant after each use. Oh, and did I forget to mention the tingling clean feeling on your face? It's not as strong as your Peppermint Burt's Bees Lip Balm, but it gives enough tingling sensation to feel refreshed. So much better than my Murad scrubs. Price is pretty reasonable too. Definitely will buy again and highly recommend it. — 4 years, 8 months ago
