My Daily Exfoliator
i first started out with the Cranberry Gommage but switched to the Golden Grain even though I have oil acne-prone skin. This was exactly what I needed. I use it every morning even though you're not supposed to - and let it sit like a mask while I was my hair, etc. I don't even need to scrub it since the enzymes do such an amazing job exfoliating. My skin is always glowing. This has been my daily favorite for almost 3 years now.

Smells bad
I love the cranberry scrub, but wanted to try this new one out....bad move. The smell is awful, but even if you like the smell, the scrubbing beads are so few that it doesn't really do anything but wash my skin. I'm going back to the cranberry.

Your Skin Will Thank You!
I tried Arcona Eye Dew Plus last year and now I use Arcona products almost exclusively. I began using Golden Grain Gommage 4 months ago and I am thrilled with the results. I use Gentle Solution at night then follow up with Golden Grain Gommage the following morning twice per week. I am in my 40's and it's no longer necessary to use BB cream or foundation daily thanks to this product. I highly recommend Arcona, especially the Golden Grain Gommage coupled with Gentle Solution.

Such a difference...
...between the sample and the actual thing. I've received a sample before and it was just like oats on my face; exfoliating yet so soft and smooth after the wash. When I bought the actual thing the first thing I notice are the mini rocks. I was worried so I tried it on the back of my hand first and the scratching sensation never went away (I use the same motion as I would my face). I tried it again the second day (this time on my face), mix with a small amount of jojoba oil to see if it will soften it...it didn't. Had to return it.

Amazing
My skin has a glow after using this. It does just what it says. Purifies and removes dead skin and makes face smooth and soft. Makeup goes on so much better after using this in the morning too

great scrub
great scrub for blackheads , whiteheads, very fine scrub and non abrasive, you just have to rub very gently, focus on the T zone if you have dryer skin. for oily skin, you could do all over. very smooth skin as a result. non irritating.
