Q: Is this product meant for daily use or just once in a while?
submitted by Gayle - 8 years ago
A: I don’t have this product but if I had it I would use it once a week
submitted byIda - 1 year agoA: I love this product. I have dry skin and need to be careful not to exfoliate too much. I use every third or fourth day. Keeps my skin looking great. Will continue to buy.
submitted byjo - 8 years agoA: I use it every other day in the shower. The first time, I used a lot and my face hurt a little afterwards so I started using less and it didn't hurt again. I would suggest starting off using it twice a week at first and then every other day after that. And only a little bit is needed! I like to use it in the shower because it is easier to rinse off my face. I am on like my 3rd tube of this. It is awesome!
submitted bybkelly808 - 8 years agoA: I'm in my 40's with oily skin & have used gritty face scrubs almost every day since I was 15. So far, this my absolute favorite, but it's a deep green that smells like the ocean & oak moss, which may not be everyone's idea of a good time! It's definitely worth a try & especially good to use in the shower so it's not messy. If your skin isn't up to scrubs, you'd be fine using it just once or twice a week.
submitted bySD_NG - 7 years agoA: I use it every other day.

Q: Is this safe for sensitive skin?
submitted by CindyH90 - 8 years ago
A: It's pretty gritty, so just use it with a light hand. If you have sensitivities, definitely patch test it first on a small part of your face.
submitted bySD_NG - 7 years agoA: My skin is sensitive due to using Retin A and this product works great. It's a very good scrub. It's not coarse and I feel like I'm really pampering myself and it also does a great job at exfoliating.
submitted byLG - 8 years agoA: Yes! My skin is sensitive and it doesn't bother it. I love this stuff!
submitted byJay - 8 years ago
Q: Does this brand test on animals? Is this a vegan product? Thank you!
submitted by cjj003 - 8 years ago
A: No, its cruelty free, leaping bunny logo printed on the product
submitted byPink143 - 7 years agoA: Hi, YES product states: 100% VEGAN. Acure makes great products including this scrub!

Reliable and Well-Performing
I've repurchased this product a few times - it's a skincare staple I've yet to find a comparable alternative to. It's clean, unfragranced, well-priced and gets the job done well. I'll use this in my routine once a week and the formula pairs well with other supplementary gel cleansers. For someone with *very* sensitive combination skin, I'm comfortable using this year round without risking dryness or irritation.

Gentle, refreshing exfoliater
This scrub feels so great while it exfoliates. It really does make my face look brand new the next day. I love the clean ingredients and I use it twice a week. Lasts a long time, a little goes a long way. I stock up when there’s a sale so I never run out.

Happy accident!
I’m impressed! I originally thought I was getting the cleanser. I got home and realized I accidentally grabbed the scrub! I’m so glad I did! It has a nice scent (even thought it’s unscented. It is not too abrasive, and I definitely felt brighter, and softer after I used it. I did go back for the cleanser, and now I have a great skincare routine.

Wonderful scrub. Gentle yet does the job! My face feels so smooth, looks clearer. Best of all not causing any breakouts which always concerns me with a face scrub. It smells great too. Very pleased with my purchase will keep buying this.

Only Used Once, and I Know It's a Lifetime Pick!
I used it once, and my husband used it once. We are both in our 30s. My skin is prone to dullness and dryness without flaking, and his skin is prone to flaking and sun damage. We have been using a different brand of scrub for a while now, and the first time we both used this brightening facial scrub, we knew we were hooked! The smell is wonderful. I am NOT a fragrance fan since most fragrances are synthetic, and the scent of this product is natural. I believe it is sea kelp. YOU DO NOT NEED VERY MUCH! I squirted about a quarter size in my hand, and it was too much. It was enough to do my face, chest, shoulders, and even stomach. A little bit goes a long way. I'm really pleased with all of the Acure products I ordered so far.
