Awful. I have dry, semi-senisitive skin so I'm sure that had quite a bit to do with my results. I bought this after a MAC s/a told me how much she loved it, and how she was stocking up, etc. I used it in the shower and found the dissolving crystals part of it to be a nice surprise and the scent wasn't over powering at all. The packaging was a bit messy but I like that since it was a jar, i'd be able to get out every last bit.

I rinsed the scrub off while I was still in the shower and even with a wet face I could feel that my skin was dryer and felt tighter. It caused my usual moisturizer to burn my skin and leave me with red splotches on my face. A week later I decided to give this product another try but I ended up with the same results along with a strange white residue on my forehead.

It was returned to the store. I really wanted to like this product but it just wasn't for me. I'm sure that someone with oily skin would love this though but it's too drying for skin that is already dry.

a lot of bloggers seemed to love it...didn't know why, because it did look kind of...you know, creepy.

Yeah, a lot of people with dryer skin seem to have the same results as you. I'm glad I didn't buy it, because I've got the same condition.

Thanks Jenna, I had only really read reviews from people with oily or combination skin which is why I hadn't bought it... and now since I have dry skin too I'll save my pennies!
