I received a sample size of the Philosophy Microdelivery exfoliating face scrub as a gift with purchase. I am a fan of everything that I've tried from the Philosophy brand. But this one I did not like. It does have a light citrus clean smell. There's little bits of earth grain like sand particles in this exfoliating face wash. I do use other face washes with similar granular exfoliating particles, but the ones in this particular face wash are so tiny, and there's thousands of them it feels like on my skin. It's not harsh in any way.
It's just aggravating. I think I rinsed my face clean, and I keep finding more bits of sand grit all over the place. It might be beneficial to use this in the shower instead of by the sink. I have to keep rinsing my face over and over, trying to get all the little particles off of my face hair chest. It's very annoying. I gave this to my teenage daughter. It did not irritate my skin. I do feel that my face was cleansed. It could be the cleanser, or it could be the five times I had to rinse. This face wash can be pricey.
