Money-saving tip

This stuff is great. But after a few years of discarding the tube when I could no longer shake down any more product -- I cut it in half horizontally. I was amazed at how MUCH there was left inside!! I can use the rest of it for another two months!! I cover the open tube end with a small plastic cover to keep it from drying out too rapidly. SO SAVE, SAVE, SAVE.

sulfa allergy

This product has sulfa; I am allergic and this product gave me a severe headache and flu symptoms that lasted a whole day. For anyone else it seems to be a good exfoliating cream

Best exfoliating scrub around - bar none!

I wish they made this stuff in industrial sized tubes.....I love it and buy 3 or 4 at a time. It is the absolute best face scrub there is - I have checked dozens of others and there is NO comparison. It has a semi-rough texture (which is what works!) but does *not* "hurt" or irritate your skin. I use it 2 or 3 times a week and have been for years and years (and years). I never have a breakout and do not have any wrinkles on my face - I get compliments on my skin all the time and usually a "how do you do it?".....I give this Clinique scrub all the credit. Forget the really pricey stuff - this is the absolute best.

Too Harsh

This product was too much for my skin. The beads in this exfoliant are bigger than the ones the in 7 Day-Scrub Cream. Unfortunately, I guess the beads cut through my skin even if I try to scrub gently, and I break out. If you do not have sensitive skin like mine, then you're ok to use this.

The best exfoliator

I have been using this product since puberty (20+ years now). I use it twice a week and it is perfect to use that often. Occasionally when the weather changes I get rough patches that sometimes flake or just feel uneven. Whenever I use this, those patches are instantly gone. I am 34 years old and am often told that I look 24... no one believes my age. I have been using Clinique skin care my entire life, because it is what my Mom used, and what was in the house. Sometimes I wonder if I have Clinique to thank for my slow aging.

Love, Love, Love it!

I have used this scrub for years (15+) and I absolutely love it! It's gritty enough to make my face feel brand new and my skin soft as a baby, yet it never leaves my skin irritated or dry. I keep it in the shower and use it about 3 times a week. This is not a lotion and not easily rubbed all over the face. Its best to use a little at a time (pea size) on your finger tips and concentrate on each area of the face making small circles with the paste. I find for me around the nose and forehead are a must... My skin feels so incredibly clean after! I have also cleared my ears (outside of course) with this scrub using my fingertip and thumb and oil is gone! Instant facial! Great start to my day!
