Q: Is this product meant for daily use or just once in a while?

submitted by Gayle - 9 years ago
  • A: I use it every other day.

    submitted byJB - 9 years ago
  • A: 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 - 9 years ago
  • A: 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 - 9 years ago
  • A: 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 - 8 years ago
  • A: I don’t have this product but if I had it I would use it once a week

    submitted byIda - 2 years ago

Q: How long can you use the same bottle for ?

submitted by Jen - 4 years ago
  • A: When using 2-3 times per week, the Brightening Facial Scrub can last around 3 months, however this can vary slightly depending on frequency of use and amount of scrub used per time.

Q: Does this product have Carrageenan as one of the ingredients?I don't see it listed in the Target website but when I puchased & it got shipped to me, I was disappointed to see it listed.Please confirm.

submitted by angel - 4 years ago
  • A: For the most accurate ingredient list, we always recommend referencing the ingredient list on the product packaging.

Q: Does this have any scent? I have asthma, so I can only use unscented things.

submitted by Sue Anderson - 6 years ago
  • A: While the Brightening Facial Scrub does not have any added fragrance, it does incorporate clary sage, spearmint, and lemongrass essential oils to aid in clarifying and detoxifying.

Q: Am I able to use a cleansing brush with this product?

submitted by Lydia - 7 years ago
  • A: While you can use this with a cleansing brush, we recommend using fingertips for best results.

Q: Is this good for acne prone skin? Which products are? I have really horrible acne on my chin and forehead and I was looking for something to help clear it up (along with other products I use)

submitted by Abbylynn - 9 years ago
  • A: I think that the grittiness might cause issues with acne. I'd consider a gentler scrub or a cleanser with active ingredients meant for acneic skin.

    submitted bySD_NG - 8 years ago

Q: Okay to use on body?

Q: Is this good while breastfeeding?

submitted by Evie - 11 months ago

Chewed Grass and Sand

Meh. This smells and looks like a child chewed up grass and mixed it with sand. I guess I like that the ingredients are clean and my skin does feel clean after use so 3 stars there. I use it in the shower which is good because I'm sure I look like a swamp monster when using this stuff. The smell is really weird, I feel unscented is not that right term. Fragrance free maybe but it definitely has a scent of chewed grass.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been searching for a good non toxic face scrub that doesn't break the bank. My skin gets rough very quickly and I only need to use it 2x a week.

Iffy on whether I would buy itagain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was using this to replace the ZO skin health exfoliating scrub. However this does not suds the way the ZO skin health does, and maybe it shouldn't. But it smells of rose which is just very offputting to me. I hate the smell of roses and was very disappointed that it doesn't have the same citrusy smell as the gel cleanser and the moisturizers. I mix it with some other cleansers that I have so that I get a little bit more foam. Scrubbing action is good

Not for me

I can’t be certain, but I feel like my pores somehow look more clogged after using this product, and this is the only thing I’ve added to my routine. I use their brightening gel cleanser as well and figured I’d try the scrub. But like I said, don’t think it’s for me. Still would recommend giving it a try
