User questions & answers

Question:	What are the exfoliating beads made out of? Do they disolve
Answer:	I have no idea but there are not many of them. It's really not a great exfoliating product. Apricot by Ivy is much better and a real exfoliating product.
Question:	Since this facial scrub doesn't have microbeads, what provides the "scrubbing" element to exfoliate
Answer:	The product has "exfoliating beads" according to product label and it definitely has a gritty consistency. I will also mention that there is menthol in the scrub, so be careful near your eyes, nose & mouth.
Question:	Does this have microbeads or plastic in it
Answer:	I don’t know if they’re plastic but they do have this little beads.. you feel the exfoliation but it’s not hard. I’ve used this since I was 13 and has worked great for me!
Question:	how long does it take to work
Answer:	It takes about a minute. So, wet your skin with warm water. Let it sit on your skin and do it's thing. Then wash off with warm water and voila. Great for oily skin.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it usable with face brushes, like Mia
Answer:	Hi, This is from MOTHER MADE. It contains cellulose fiber dissolved in water as a creamy-gel form, which is not like tangible granules or beads. When you rub it against the skin, the dissolved fiber gets formed into little balls with dead skin cells. Since it exfoliates the dead skin cells and sebum in the skin, it prevents acne/pimples. You won't get any irritation or redness while exfoliating since the cellulose causes absolutely zero irritation. Thank you! MOTHER MADE

This product helps whiten/ brighten the skin by gently remove dead skin cells, and brighten the skin with Ascorbic Acid which is the purest and most effective Vitamin C Serum to naturally brighten the skin.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use as a drawing salve
Answer:	While it cleanses, it provides some drawing. Best to go with a clay product for maximum drawing of impurities recommendation is Aztec Secret Indian Deep Pore Cleansing Healing Clay
Question:	Does it have little particles to rub the skin? or just like regular cleaning foam
Answer:	No little particles. Neutrogena has a great face wash with little particles to clean pores and exfoliate. It has grapefruit in it. It's my favorite so far. This charcoal cleanser is okay-just probably not good for people with sensitive skin or open pores. It's not a foam-just gel. I think the charcoal soaked into my pores and that's what the blackheads were.
Question:	How can I travel with it
Answer:	FROM TRAVEL EXPERIENCE: Either transfer liquid from Biore bottle to a store bought bottle with a cap that can snap shut OR the cheap way is to put a sandwich bag over the top and secure it with a rubber band or ponytail.
Question:	has this helped anybody with blackhead issues
Answer:	Yes! I bought this at another retailer to give it a shot and was amazed at how well it worked. I have always had an issue with blackheads on my nose and the only success I ever had with clearing them up was with a Biore strip. However, after the FIRST night of using this cleanser, I'd say about 95% of the blackheads on my nose had disappeared. I'm really shocked that this cleanser is getting such negative reviews on here because it's been a great product for me so far.

The Science of Exfoliation

Did you know your skin is constantly renewing itself? Basically, your body is always making new skin cells: while you sleep, while you eat, during class or morning status meetings at work- you get the point! However, the process isn’t perfect. Sometimes these old cells don’t flake off quickly enough; this build-up can leave you with a rough, dull, tired-looking complexion. Enter the exfoliating face scrub! Used correctly, these deep facial cleansers can help boost radiance by gently buffing away leftover dead skin cells. Properly exfoliated skin looks fresher, smoother, and downright glow-ier. Now go forth and exfoliate responsibly with one of our face scrubs, made with 100% natural facial exfoliators*!

How to Use

1. Squeeze a dime sized amount of St. Ives Acne Control Facial Scrub Apricot onto your fingertips and massage into damp skin. Spread in small circular motions, applying gentle pressure to wake your skin’s natural circulation.

2. Work the face wash all over, right up to your hairline and onto the sides of your nose.

3. When you’re done, rinse and pat dry with a clean towel.

Use the exfoliating facial scrub 3-4 times a week (depending on skin) for best results.
