I would recommend this product. It does what it is supposed to do. However, I would say that you should follow it with a really good moisturizer as it can be very drying.  Also the name is a bit of a misnomer. I don't know how gentle it is. The beads are a bit rough. So be gentle when rubbing it on the skin and a little really does go a long way.  Also, I don't recommend using this product on a daily basis, perhaps every other day.
