this scrub can get rid of dead skin on my nose ..but i'm only giving this a 1..because i can only use it on my nose. The microbeads inside are too ROUGH and SCRATCHY..on the other hand i once put this on my cheeks, it caused me huge irritatation ..and spider veins POPED OUT..and they are still here (presently here)..i'm very frustrated..On the other hand..i think the packaging is fine..i didn't buy the tube packaging but a large container one..cause the tube ones were sold out...this thing last a long time but since it doesn't work good..it just bothers me when i see there are still so much left...Anyway i much prefer baking soda with cetaphil gentle cleanser! This is too harsh for most skin type..try something else girls... P.S.- my skin type: combo-slightly dry + extremely sensitive skin
