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

submitted by Gayle - 7 years ago
  • A: I use it every other day.

    submitted byJB - 7 years ago
  • A: I don’t have this product but if I had it I would use it once a week

    submitted byIda - 6 months 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 - 6 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 - 7 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 - 7 years ago

Q: Is this safe for sensitive skin?

submitted by CindyH90 - 7 years ago
  • A: Yes! My skin is sensitive and it doesn't bother it. I love this stuff!

    submitted byJay - 7 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 ago
  • A: 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 - 7 years ago

Q: Does this brand test on animals? Is this a vegan product? Thank you!

submitted by cjj003 - 7 years ago
  • A: Hi, YES product states: 100% VEGAN. Acure makes great products including this scrub!

    submitted bySyd - 6 years ago
  • A: 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.

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

    Brand expert

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

submitted by Sue Anderson - 4 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 - 5 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 - 7 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 - 6 years ago

    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

    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.

    I have used this product for over 10 years. But you had to go and change the ingredients. Well now if I use it, it sets my face on fire. Why? Why would you change a formula that works to unusable product? I certainly won't be able to use this product and have to look for another exfoliator. Shame on you Acure.

    I have textured skin and this scrub is amazing! It really helps to get rid of dull, flaking skin and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed. The tiny particles in the scrub work wonders on my nose and helped to remove stubborn pores. I love this product so much that I'm already on my fourth bottle. A little goes a long way.
