Would you buy this product again? OMG YES!!!!

General Comments on this product:

this stuff is amazing!!! it's a facial scrub, but the particles are much finer than most scrubs I tried. and it feels like you're rubbing a mix of very fine sand and moisurizing cream on to your skin. when I used it, I can really tell the difference, my skin is so much smoother! I have a sensitive dry skin, and my skin is a bit dry afterwards, so I need to use a rich cream to moisturize my skin.

I like this it makes skin feel really smooth but the results don't last long I much prefer the Olay Microdermabrasion and Peel Kit (not sure if that's the correct name) as it makes skin feel like silk and the effects last a few days and it also fades scars and pigmentation spots. I would probably re-puchase when I run out of the Olay one as I can't get the Olay one in the UK.

I really liked this scrub as it is alot finer than the usual facial scrubs avaliable but I do agree, the effects don't last very long. I also didn't like how it dries out while you're still applying it. So after awhile it felt like you were rubbing clumps of sand on your face.

I love this stuff. By far, the best scrub that I have ever used. It leaves my skin looking beautiful after each use and I have noticed considerable improvement in my skin's texture and pore size.

A superb micro polisher, this product only needs to be used a handful of times to notice an improvement in the texture of your skin. Extra exfoliation can be had by applying to dry skin and polishing in an upward circular motion, but if you have sensitised skin, dampen your face and hands first to give the product more 'slip'.

The only way this product could be improved is by the addition of brighteners, such as found in Dermalogica's daily microfoliation products.

The packaging is fine for home use, but doesn't travel well. I have had the end burst open on several tubes of this product when travelling, either through air pressure or the weight of other luggage.

Cost: AU$32 as of March, 2006

Love this! the particles are so fine that it doesn't feel like it's working... but it is! i've used this many times and found that i prefer to dab a small amount in dots on my face, then use a wipe for the circular action. the wipe makes this act more abrasive than with your fingers. this might not be a good idea if you have very sensitive skin, but it makes mine feel like i removed 99% of any dead skin cells.

I find this scrub amazing - I have uber-sensitive dry skin and this has never irritated it, whilst also permanently reducing the bumpy scars I had left after an attack of perioral dermatitis three years ago. I also find it works best by just pushing it around on my skin rather than using a scrubbing motion.

Would you buy this product again? Yes..Yes.. YES!!

I've been using Ocean Salt scrub from LUSH for years now but I wanted to use something finer since it is so chunky and I can't really get into the nooks and crannies (near my nose for example) with it. I also have some very fine bumps on different parts of my face that I wanted to get rid of or at least try to.

I purchased this scrub after reading the reviews in this thread and on Makeup Alley, and I am not disappointed that I did. It is a fantastic product. It does dry out after a while but you just need to pat a small amount of water onto your face when it does and you can continue to scrub hassle free. My skin looks radiant and I feel like I am glowing!

If you want to pamper your skin then do yourself a favour and get behind this wonderful product from MAC. I am really keen to try out the rest of the MAC skincare collection.

I have only used this a few times and I already see and feel a difference in my skin. I have some dry patches and this is really helping with that.

Would you buy this product again? Already have and will continue too!

General Comments on this product:
LOVEE this. Ive bought it twice so far. The one comment I have is, USE AS DIRECTED! Don't overuse, if you expholiate too much your skin will begin to overproduce oil to compinsate. Great product though.
