Pros

• Aids convenient shaving. This face scrub is a great product to use before you shave. As dead skin cells and dirt are removed from the pores of your face, nothing will be blocking your razor when you start to shave. In fact, the razor might get closer to the roots of the hair, creating less drag and burn. Best of all, it helps stop the growth of ingrown hairs by opening your pores.
• Smells and feels refreshing­. This exfoliating product smells fresh like mint. You can also feel the coolness of menthol on your face. This makes the product an instant solution to your tired skin in the morning. To be more precise, the smell closely resembles a fresh masculine cologne that is not overpowering.
• Great scrubbing ability. The small particles have a great abrasive quality that can remove the deepest dirt from your face. As you rub the particles into your face, you’ll instantly detect the dead skin cells being gradually removed. The power of the scrub lies in its ingredients, so you don’t need to rub that hard. After regular use, you’ll get the smooth skin that you’ve always desired.
• Large size. Unlike other face scrubs which come in very small packages, this face buff contains 177 ml of scrubbing goodness. Since you need to use this product 3-4 times a week, this might last for several months. Considering its price, this makes it great value for your money.
• Biodegradable exfoliating beads. For those concerned with the toxicity of microbeads to the environment, this face buff uses eco-friendly scrubbing beads that are 100% biodegradable. This means that these scrubbing beads will easily decompose, unlike aluminum oxide, which tends to pollute sewer systems and rivers.

Cons

• Causes blotchy, red skin. Some users noted that this face buff is too abrasive for their skin type. This might not be suitable for those with sensitive skin. To avoid having blotchy and red skin after each scrub, avoid rubbing too hard. If you know that you have sensitive skin, opt for gentler microbeads, like the Honeyskin Organics’ Organic Microdermabrasion Facial Scrub Exfoliator.
• Causes acne. A few users noted that this face buff caused acne. This might be an allergic reaction to some ingredients found in the product. It could also be a negative reaction to the coarse scrubbing particles. If you have acne-prone skin, you may prefer to other brands that have salicylic acid, like the Zenith Skincare’s Dermafresh Face Scrub.
• Too drying. A small number of customers reported that the use of this face buff made their skin feel dry. This product might not be suitable for those with dry skin; if you have dry skin, then you may prefer to use something with great moisturizing ingredients, like the Candid Essentials’ Best Advanced Microdermabrasion Scrub.
