Best exfoliator ever!
I'm throwing out my mesh facial scrubbers, brushes and abrasive scrubs. This is the best product I've ever used for exfoliating. I've tried similar products with the fruit enzymes in them that were way more expensive and they didn't work as well as this and were difficult to use because they would ball up in my fine facial hair. This doesn't. Super pleasant to use, fast (doesn't need to sit on the skin for any length of time), shockingly effective, and unbelievably affordable. This is THE product I've been searching for my whole life. I've just purchased 2 more bottles.

Very midleading....
Yes there are ingredients in this exfoliant that will definitely help remove dead skin from the face, but everyone thinking that the stuff rolling or pilling up as they massage it in is skin, is being midled to believe this is more effective than it really is. What you see balling up on the skin is actually the cellulose added to the exfoliant, it is not skin. Cellulose has to rubbed quite a bit with a good amount of friction before it will pill or ball up, but it will. I make my own products and everytime I have used cellulose, it balls up when I rub it in leading me to have to change to another "thickener". Cellulose can help give a little "texture" to products to help with sloughing off dead skin, but I assure you, what you see is almost entirely cellulose balling up, not dead skin. I think elf should be putting this myth to rest.

Great!
The skin on my face is pretty sensitive so I didn't try it on my face. I use this as an all over body exfoliant before i shave and it's helped tremendously with my kp everywhere! I wish this came in a larger size! But I understand its technically made for your face

Doesn't actually peel
I've been searching for a legitimate peeling mask to exfoliate and rip off my nasty dead and dry skin. Every one I have seen so far has only been a rinse off mask, like this one. I did not read the directions when I purchased this because it says a peeling exfoliant right in the name, so I bought it. I was so disappointed when I went to use it and found out it was a rinse off mask. I've used it about four times since I bought it about 2 weeks ago, and I think I see or at least feel a difference in my skin which is nice. I just wanted to have that satisfying rip off of the face experience.

My new go-to exfoliator!
I have been looking for an exfoliator that does something besides rubbing rough creams on the face. This one is so smooth, and the dead skin cells practically fall off. I use it before my face wash so I can get my face free of debris afterward.

They fixed the packaging!!!
This is one of my all time holy grail products, the little eraser-shavings-like bits are so gentle but still effective. My only prior complaint was that HORRIBLE pump that always failed and left so so much product in that awkwardly shaped bottle, I am so so happy to see it's now in a squeeze bottle!!

Is it better to cleanse first then use this, or is this alone enough? (Would be using it in the morning so no makeup etc to remove, and not every day.)

We suggest that you use this 3 times a week - you do not need to cleanse first.

Does it now ship in the tube instead of bottle? I struggled to use the bottles because of the pump and had to empty it into a different container in the past.

Is this helpful for under eyes? Or should under eyes be avoided? I was thinking this could be helpful for my thin under eye skin due to the Vitamin C but I realize it might be too harsh.
