Q: Is this product meant for daily use or just once in a while?
submitted by Gayle - 8 years ago
A: I use it every other day.
submitted byJB - 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 - 6 years 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 don’t have this product but if I had it I would use it once a week
submitted byIda - 1 year ago
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 - 6 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: Hi, YES product states: 100% VEGAN. Acure makes great products including this scrub!
submitted bySyd - 6 years agoA: No, its cruelty free, leaping bunny logo printed on the product
submitted byPink143 - 7 years ago
Q: How long can you use the same bottle for ?
submitted by Jen - 2 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.
submitted byACURE - 2 years agoBrand expert
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 - 3 years ago
A: For the most accurate ingredient list, we always recommend referencing the ingredient list on the product packaging.
submitted byACURE - 3 years agoBrand expert
Q: Does this have any scent? I have asthma, so I can only use unscented things.
submitted by Sue Anderson - 5 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.
submitted byACURE - 5 years agoBrand expert
Q: Am I able to use a cleansing brush with this product?
submitted by Lydia - 6 years ago
A: While you can use this with a cleansing brush, we recommend using fingertips for best results.
submitted byACURE - 6 years agoBrand expert
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 - 8 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.

I literally live by this scrub, I have been using it religiously since 2021, It works wonders on gently exfoliating and clearing up dark spots. I’d cry if it was discontinued!

The his is such a great exfoliating cleanser! It has enough grit to get your face feeling really clean without it being painful and scrubbing too hard. I have sensitive skin and it does not break me out at all. I will say it is not unscented like the description says. It has an earthy, herbal scent that I luckily find very pleasant.

I absolutely love this facial scrub! It feels like I'm at a spa when I use it. It's highly exfoliating. If you're looking your a true "scrub" that works well- this is it! My face feels SO fresh and clean after using it. I also think the smell is very relaxing and spa-like. The green color of the product was a little surprising when I first used this scrub, but it doesn't stain anything or cause any problems. Love it!
Was better before.

I used to love this stuff, I only got to use up two whole bottles before the formula changed. It’s completely different now and burns my face. Before I would’ve recommended to everyone but not so much anymore. :( I loved the natural smell of the product and the green tea smell, it was very relaxing but it seems more “chemical” now imo.
Why did you change a perfect product?!!

My entire family has used this for years! And we absolutely loved it! I ordered another tube and immediately knew ingredients were changed without even comparing the ingredients to my old tube! All the amazing rave reviews were from the previous product. You have less green clay and it doesn't soothe like it did. Please bring back the original product!
Why change the formula?!

trinaapli - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
glad to see others agree that the formula has changed. i used this product for years and it was always my go to face scrub. repurchased it last month after not using it for awhile and noticed it’s a lot more abrasive now so it’s not as gentle of a scrub as it used to be. i’ve noticed i’ve had to be very delicate while applying it to my face. have walnut shells always been in this product?? other than that still a great scrub

I broke out every time I used this. Luckily I figured out that it's a great scrub for the rest of the body too. I finally found a face scrub that works for me from MyChelle.

My favorite brand! I have super sensitive skin, along with living a more natural and holistic lifestyle and this brand really takes the cake! I do not get redness, breakouts, etc with this brand and recommend it to anyone who has sensitive skin like me! This is no strong smell to it, there’s a slight smell but is is very pleasant.
