This scrub was recommended to me by a facialist years and years ago. I used it for a long time, then had trouble finding it, and tried to find a decent substitute. But after finding it on Amazon, I'm back.  The facialist years ago told me to use it also on my elbows and upper arms to keep them smooth, which I do.  It really is a face and body scrub.  I know it seems odd to think of using the same product on your face that you use on tougher parts of your body, but I've been doing it for years with great results and no plan to switch.  Now, in the interest of full disclosure, another facialist told me that she thinks this product is a little tough for the face, which I told the first facialist, who said that it was fine for my skin because, while I'm fair, I don't have issues with sensitivity or really "thin" skin.  The granules are very fine, and there's little or no scent.  Plus, I think it's a decent price for a premium product. Basically, I'm a lifer, and I'm thinking about trying other MD Formulations products.
