great product
While I was on vacation I passed an Aveda store in a mall that offered a free facial. They asked me questions as to my skin type and provided a very relaxing facial. My skin felt smooth and the products smelled very fresh so I purchased a small travel size to try. I have to say these products were easy to use and the routine is not too time consuming. I never tried an exfoliant that did not contain abrassives but I was impressed with my skins appearance. I am in my 60's and my skin is softer and smoother. I have since purchased the larger size and using it daily.

I would not buy this again.
I'm in my mid-sixties. Smells nice BUT doesn't come close to exfoliating my skin.

We're sorry to hear that the results were not as expected. For a more exfoliating product, we recommend Botanical Kinetics Radiant Skin Refiner. This creamy, clay-based scrub exfoliates with bamboo extract and energizes with tourmaline to leave skin radiant and refined. Read more here: aveda.cm/BKRadiantRefiner.

Great exfoliant!
I use this exfoliant before bedtime and wake up with a brighter, more even skintone.

Ingredients not as Listed in Description
The bottle I received did not include witch hazel as listed in the ingredients of this item. Witch Hazel is key to this exfoliant that I’ve used for over a decade. Disappointed with Aveda’s new formula. I would not have purchased if the ingredients listed were correct.

GREAT EVERY DAY AVEDA EXGOLIANT
During these dry days of winter months (or during sun dried / damaged skin) Aveda Botanical Kinetics is great product that gently removing dry, flaky facial skin on a daily basis. It leaves your skin smooth, refreshed and easy to use. An additional bonus, it is priced right!
