Don't use everyday!

volta (516 reviews)

Although I can't tell you how to regulate your skin care routine if you have one, I just recommend that you don't use a manual exfoliator everyday! You want to use it maybe once or twice a week (but no more), because you need to give your skin some time to heal and rebuild itself in between scrubs. Over exfoliating can cause tearing in the skin which can lead to MORE flaky dry skin. This product gets a "B" in my book. It's a wonderful exfoliator that buffs off most of the dry flakes on my face. Like other Clarins products, I don't think it does a remarkable job at removing makeup (DEFINITELY steer clear from using it around the eye area!). I think a good cleanser can remove makeup well and still be gentle to use around the eye area to remove eye makeup (because at the end of the day it's where we still have the most makeup left over!). As far as its purifying claims, I'm not completely sold. Although I do like how my skin still feels clean after using this, it's still to be used no more than twice a week (or once a week if you have sensitive skin). The beads in this ARE silica beads, so I would be aware of that for sensitive or super acne-prone skin. However, I have not had a breakout due to this as of the moment. It's not my favorite exfoliator, it's still a good one. My favorite is Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Buffing Beads because that has jojoba beads as its manual scrubber and glycolic acid as its chemical exfoliant, so you get twice the exfoliating power. — 2 months ago

You don't need to exfoliate this much!

thedragonslady (472 reviews)

If you are like most people and wash your face more than once a day, you shouldn't use this product because it could damage your skin and it shouldn't be used in eye area. — 4 years ago

Dried my skin out

Katie6778 (10 reviews)

I don't think there is anything gentle about this exfoliating cleaner! Alot of Calrins products seem to have fruit acids in them?! I used this and the vital light day cream and I was left with under skin little bumps and a few spots. Having spent out all that money on a cleanser & moisturiser to be left with a reaction, I returned the products to the less than helpful sales assistant. ANy good skin care or cosmetics company will refund or replace a product which has caused a skin reaction, as long as you haven't used loads of the product when you return it. Eventually, the sales assistant gave me store vouchers (as I had lost my receipt) I have sensitive and dry skin and have yet to find a clarins product which doesn't cause me to have skin problems after using it! I have now given up with Clarins products — 1 year, 2 months ago
