I was iffy about this when the SA rec it for my previously dry and still sensitive skin which is now a bit oily combo. But it turned out to be interesting and cleaned well without drying and irritating my skin. Lavender is one of the last ingredients but I still found it quite strong though it did not bother my face like I thought it would.
It looks like moist gray cornmeal in the container and you scoop out a quarter size and mix with a bit of water. It goes milky and gently rub it on your face (the almonds exfoliate) and rinse. Even gets makeup off!
