I love this scrub/mask. The texture is unusual -- sort of as if someone had whipped pineapples in a blender. There are small scrubby granules in the scrub, but the exfoliating action is mainly a result of the papaya and pineapple enzymes. You apply the scrub to your face and leave it on for a few seconds or a few minutes. (I sometimes leave it on longer, but if you have sensitive skin you might want to be careful.) It feels almost slippery as it rinses off, and it leaves your skin extremely soft, smooth, and almost moist, if that makes sense.
