GHI Expert Verdict

Though creamy in texture, this scrub had a good ratio of cream to exfoliating grains. It was smooth to apply and gentle to massage into the face, with our testers saying it thoroughly cleaned their skin. A little product went a long way in both senses – only a little was needed for full effect, and the tube lasted a long time. It left the complexion smooth and refreshed, with one tester also using it as a body exfoliant. The fresh fragrance was a hit, as was the packaging, with everyone on the panel agreeing it was easy to dispense.
