The scrub smells nice, a little artificial, but not overwhelming. After I wash it off my skin feels smooth and very soft, exfoliated, not dry nor irritated. I use it once a week even though it says 3 times a week. My dermatologist does not approve that much exfoliation.
Bottom line, there is nothing wrong with this product if you do not mind coarse physical exfoliation. I prefer facial products that are gentle, and good for skin in the long-term. I purchased this scrub because of its hype, but I won't buy it again.
