As it contains ingredients with peeling effects such as AHA, it leaves your skin feeling smooth like after using a scrub, and it also removes dirt and roughness from your pores, which somehow seems to improve my skin tone and remove dullness, which was great.
I especially recommend this for summer! It's refreshing and clean, and the scrub leaves my skin smooth. I put it in a net and use it.
I bought this product out of nostalgia, and it's been renewed and is now easier to use! Actually, the last time I used it was 10 years ago (has it really been that long? lol). Back then, I was bothered by rough skin, so I tried scrubs and peeling gels, but they didn't really suit me. So I bought this. The peeling effect was amazing. However, perhaps the ingredients were harsh, and even my fairly sensitive skin felt a tingling sensation. I endured the pain and used it, but it ended up on my heels, lol. I bought this product out of nostalgia and because I was struggling with rough skin. Peeling products are quite scrubbing, so I was concerned about the harshness, enzyme cleansers didn't seem to work, and scrubs felt good at the time, but they just made my skin really dry, creating a vicious cycle. I'm so glad I bought it. It's really good. My skin didn't feel tingly at all, and it left my skin feeling smooth. It feels milder, so maybe the ingredients have been reduced. Also, while the previous version had a strong apple scent, the new one has a weaker one. I really liked the apple scent, so I'm a little sad, but I guess it's to make it more accessible to a wider range of people. --I'm so happy that I can use this on both my face and body. It leaves my face and body feeling so smooth, haha. Also, the foam used to be rough even when I used a net, but this time it's fluffy!! I put this on my body as a fluffy foam pack, then wash my hair and rinse it off together. --The one I bought this time doesn't come with a case...the case was actually quite difficult to use, so it's not a problem, but I'll need a soap holder.
I bought this to treat my back acne. It hasn't gotten any worse, so I'll continue to use it patiently. I also use it in conjunction with the Three body brush 2-3 times a week.
It lathers well and leaves your skin feeling smooth after washing. I use it once or twice a week. I have dry skin so I thought it might be drying, but so far I haven't noticed any drying effects and it has become one of my favorite items!
