With these type of exfoliants, i always see it as a gimmicky, as I dont think it really exfoliates the skin. The product has the texture of both an balm and a gel in one. Applying this is a bit timely since you need to wash your face first with a separate cleanser followed by this one.
You need to apply the product in a dry skin and let it dry for about 5 mins before you start massaging it then you'll notice some "peeling" as you massage the skin. I personally think it doesnt do anything apart from the lifting effects I saw from using it. While it does make rhe skin feel plump and soft after wash, im not generally a fan of this product.
PS: you really need to patch test first and slowly build up your tolerance with the product. I only used it twice in 2 weeks.
It stings my face while i wait for it to dry. My face also became red after washing it off. I dont normally get these sort of feeling especially with my resilient skin type but this one for some reasons wasnt a match with me. Im thinking its because of the lavender oil in the product but I dont think it's worth buying.
