Gentle yet effective exfoliation. Remember to use on clean, dry face to get better results. Would recommend and would repurchase.
Only thing is, my hands felt very dry immediately after using it while rinsing my hands but I have dishydrotic eczema and it never irritated luckily. The dry feeling went away as soon as I finished washing my hands and drying them off. Not much of an issue but a note for those who are sensitive to particular physical sensations.
Also it is unscented but I thought the formula sorta smelled like the fruit, Longan. Which I didn't mind since it's still very mild.
