Best exfoliator ever!

I'm throwing out my mesh facial scrubbers, brushes and abrasive scrubs. This is the best product I've ever used for exfoliating. I've tried similar products with the fruit enzymes in them that were way more expensive and they didn't work as well as this and were difficult to use because they would ball up in my fine facial hair. This doesn't. Super pleasant to use, fast (doesn't need to sit on the skin for any length of time), shockingly effective, and unbelievably affordable. This is THE product I've been searching for my whole life. I've just purchased 2 more bottles.

Very midleading....

Yes there are ingredients in this exfoliant that will definitely help remove dead skin from the face, but everyone thinking that the stuff rolling or pilling up as they massage it in is skin, is being midled to believe this is more effective than it really is. What you see balling up on the skin is actually the cellulose added to the exfoliant, it is not skin. Cellulose has to rubbed quite a bit with a good amount of friction before it will pill or ball up, but it will. I make my own products and everytime I have used cellulose, it balls up when I rub it in leading me to have to change to another "thickener". Cellulose can help give a little "texture" to products to help with sloughing off dead skin, but I assure you, what you see is almost entirely cellulose balling up, not dead skin. I think elf should be putting this myth to rest.

Super gentle!

My skin is very sensitive and when using exfoliants before, my skin felt super irritated. This one is very gentle though, but it takes a lot of rinsing to get off.

Gentle but not sure how well it works

Bought this a few weeks ago. Smells great and is gentle on my sensitive skin. Not sure how well it actually exfoliates though; I'm not seeing a difference yet but I'm willing to give it a few more weeks. The cellulose leaves kind of an odd texture on my skin after rinsing it off, so I have to wash my face again after.

Bought 3!

Works very well to get dead skin off. I'll still wash my skin after and moisturize. I mainly use it on my face, hands, and feet. I get really dry hands despite aggressive moisturization so sometimes I'll use this to get a good amount of dead skin off and then use lotion gloves overnight.

I LOVE this product

Ok I literally never write reviews but I had to come leave one because I love this product sooooo much. I randomly bought this at Target bc I love elf products in general, but this exfoliator is the BEST. I have rosacea and this doesn’t irritate me at all. My skin is left feeling amaaaaaazing, it looks super glowy and soft, it minimizes my texture so much.

Better than expected

Wasn’t expecting much because I’ve used abrasive exfoliants my whole life. I figured an enzyme couldn’t *actually* work better or even the same. Apparently I’ve been living in the dark ages because now my skin is brighter and healthier than ever. It works differently from an abrasive and feels like it’s lifting dead skin instead of scrubbing it off. I use in combination with the holy hydration line and super bounce serum. Ya girl is starting to get carded again!

Provides true gentle exfoliation

This product provides good hydration with gentle exfoliation. As you rub the product on your face it forms into texture that provides the exfoliation. Some reviews are implying that the product is misleading and indicating that this is your skin that has been exfoliated. That is not the case. The texture provides the exfoliation. Get this product. For the price it leaves your skin smooth and hydrated. Love it!
