I have heard people rave about this product and I've heard ppl say it's too harsh and can cause damage to the skin. What do you think from your experience?

I absolutely LOVE it! It makes my skin baby-soft :) If you rub it briskly it can hurt your skin, so when you are applying it to your face use gentle strokes in circular motions :) I hope this helps! :)

Good!. but I do use the sensitive formula now that I'm older. my guy uses reg.. I hate that they discontinued the blue mud mask cause that was awesome ish too!.
n you use the green tea one at times if I'm trying to bring down blemishes.

I absolutely love it. I use it in the shower every other day. I rotate with noxzema so that I am not being too rough on my skin..especially in the cold weather. Your skin feels really clean after you use it, and a little goes a long way! I give it a thumbs up :)

Mmmm interesting... I've used it and I thought it was a bit harsh on the skin but it did leave my skin soft. How do I make it feel less harsh?

I don't like it I only use it for my body the grains are made of shells and are sharp and cause micro tears in facial skin you want a scrub with round beads like jojoba beads

Like Bree said, bad, too harsh for your skin. That goes for apricot scrubs in general actually.

Great product! The reason some May experience damage can be due to the sensitivity if their skin, or their using to much it only takes alittor.

I have oily combination skin, but I used the gentle apricot scrub and it worked wonderful for me. It was gentle enough for everyday use and left my skin soft and glowing. After I finished the bottle, I tried the blackhead control version, and I didn't like it nearly as much.

Love it. There is a reason it has been been on the market for eternity and shows no signs of disappearing even with new products taking up shelf space every day.

I like it and use it always. If I don't I break out.

I love it. It leaves my skin feeling really soft. The only thing is it doesn't do anything for my breakouts. But that's just me. So I only use it every other day or to exfoliate.

Love. Just have a light hand, as it can be very abrasive for some people's faces.
