Classic Para-Pharmaceutical Exfoliating Cleansing, Micro Grains Face Facial Gel Cleanser scrub Contains Minerals, non drying, Aromatherapy Scientific Concept 4.25Fl oz

Normally, I wait at least a month to review a product, but I'm so astounded with this product that I have to review after using it ONCE! Let me start by saying that I have combination skin. I have extremely dry skin around my mouth and oily skin on my cheeks and nose with large pores. I've tried many products for combination skin, but like EVERY other product out there, it either leaves my cheeks greasy or around my mouth dry. My main issue is my large pores that are very noticeable. My skin routine consists of washing my cheeks, forehead and nose with a pore refining exfoliator. Then use a wash cloth to scrub my nose because it's prone to black heads. I avoid washing around my mouth with anything other than water because it's so dry. When I dry my face, I'll scrub lightly on my nose again with a towel. I then use toner on my cheeks, nose and forehead, again avoiding around my mouth. Then I moisturize my face. After that, I moisturize around my mouth again and sometimes put lotion on that spot if it's still too dry. After letting it dry, I'll put on makeup. Now that you know the crazy routine I go through, let me tell you that the only thing I changed was the exfoliator. I didn't realize this when I bought it, but this is not made with soap. I have shampoo like that for my pets (soap-less shampoo) but it never even crossed my mind that they can do that with cleansers and exfoliators. I thought it was perfect, I NEED something that doesn't have soap! This time I washed my entire face with this. I have never felt my face so clean before! I mean, I do at home facials and use masks, but I have never felt it like THIS! Usually after washing my face, I can feel right away that around my mouth is dry. I didn't feel that this time, at least not nearly as badly. I also didn't feel the need to scrub my nose with the towel. I did the toner, as usual. This time when I moisturized, I only had to do around my mouth ONCE! And my cheeks didn't look greasy, like it actually did the day before. My skin was so even, it was glowing. It improved the appearance of my pores so much that if I didn't know better, I would've thought I was wearing makeup. I actually sat there and stared at my skin because I couldn't believe the transformation of my pores. Seriously, I went from orange peel to almost normal. I'm so impressed with this product, it's almost like they made it specifically with me in mind. I couldn't dream of anything more perfect for my skin. I actually forgot how much I paid for it and saw that I actually pay just as much for my other exfoliator that is specifically intended to improve the appearance of pores. That exfoliator does a fraction of the performance this does. And it smells so good! I couldn't recommend this more for people with large pores and combination skin!

First came across this product in a sales promotion in a shopping mall by a team of people over from Israel where the product is produced. Having tried a few well known brand name exfoliating cleansers I hoped it would be worth the £20 I paid that day - well it was! It has proven to be a very helpful product and I now buy it regularly, but normally through an Amazon supplier for much less than £20, I only paid £11 plus delivery the last time! (The recommended full retail price is over £30, but it is often available from various suppliers for under £20.) It is a very gentle cleanser, not detergent based, and you need only use a very small amount so it lasts well - I buy it every 8-9 months. Looking at the ingredients there are a lot of natural based items listed, as well as the Dead Sea Salt, although there are typical cleansing ingredients too. It is very soothing and helpful for a couple of mild to moderately serious skin conditions, for which I use it regularly, but not every day, as recommended by the makers. No other exfoliating product I have tried comes close to the effect of this product and I would be very disappointed if I couldn't find a source for it in the future - so I highly recommend it.

This facial cleanser is amazing at exfoliating with gentle mineral particles and also chemical exfoliant of glycolic acid. It’s effective yet gentle enough to use multiple times a week or every night if you prefer! I will never stop purchasing this product. It has been in my routine for over 10 years!

Bought this a few times. It has really improved the quality of my skin. I have very sensitive skin and can not use a lot of different things. It is expensive but does last awhile as you do not need to use a lot.

It is very soft and gentle on my skin. It does what it is meant to do clean and exfoliate!
