This is such a fantastic scrub! I was using St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub (for all skin types) and though it didn't give me any trouble, I still find it too coarse and harsh for my skin. I decided to get the Ultra Gentle version and I am very pleased with it. Its beads are smaller and feel gentler on my skin. My skin feels smooth and soft after each scrub and the best thing about it is I can use it everyday. And for its price, who can complain??
