My husband loves it, I hate it. It is extremely soft fisical exfoliant but it's still in confortable to use with very sensitive skin, even if it doesn't leave me irritated, it's just the experience I dislike. After use the skin is soft and hydrated. If you aren't an alien like me, probably love it.
