I really like this gentle scrub. I had received a sample, and at first I was unimpressed. I'd been using Clinique's Exfoliating Scrub for almost 20 years, so I was used to a scrub that really felt like it was working.

In the last couple years; however, I had to use the Clinique scrub once a week and at night only because my facial skin would stay red for hours. So when I began using the Philosophy scrub, it didn't feel like much was happening, and as I was washing my face with it, the ratio of cleanser to grit leaned heavily toward the cleanser. I only wanted an exfoliant (I already have cleanser I like), but I decided to finish the large sample.

A couple weeks later I began to notice that my skin looked much smoothed and brighted. All dullness had gone, the tone was more even, and the pores on my nose were no longer clogged.

I have mild rosacea, so I have to be careful with how I treat my facial skin. I am thrilled that I can use this Philosophy product every morning. The pinkness caused by the granules fades by the time I put on my mineral powder. And best of all, those tiny granules are completely natural and uniform in shape (unlike the more jagged St. Ives). They are made form tiny bits diatomaceous earth. Will definitely buy this again.

"Gentle enough for daily use?" Not me!

I admit that I am a bit picky about my skin, especially worried about the appearance of any fine lines. But aging happens, I suppose.

Dermatologists, skin "experts" and the like have been screaming "exfoliate!" so much, I decided I should add that additional step into my daily routine. This Philosophy Exfoliating wash made it sound so convenient. It claims to be gentle enough for daily use, which sucked me in because I thought, I wash my face daily, so why not exfoliate at the same time?

This stuff is runny, liquidy and messy, and since I am trying to squeeze every drop out of what I buy, I do find it annoying that there's always a bit that always drips off into wasteland. I use it in the shower and do a mental "one mississippi, two mississippi..." count to 30- or 40-something, so I am washing for the instructed 30-60 seconds. It feels like...really fine grit? I want to say it's similar to kitty litter breaking into sandy pieces but that might gross people out, but I guess I'm tryign to say it has texture, but not sharp-edged or hard or abrasive.

Still, this is too harsh for daily use on my skin. Maybe other people have less sensitive skin, maybe I rub too hard, ??? I honestly don't notice any "instant" effects (I'm probably wishing too hard) but what's worse is my skin lotions no longer absorb as well as before. After using this wash, my products tend to sit on my skin, or smear into ghostly white streaks, or worse, flake up into ashy flakes. So essentially, my skin looks dry and horrid.

I endured daily use of this product for 2 weeks, but then had to stop. Skin returned to normal quality. If I do happen to use it, I again see the flakey/ashy lotion problem. Sigh, guess this is not for me.

    Comments about philosophy the microdelivery exfoliating wash, 8 fl oz:

    This is a great daily exfoliator. Gentle enough to use every day - I use it in the morning, after working out, and feel like it really gets all the sweat and dirt out of my pores. This is the first scrub I've found that is gentle enough to use every day. I also think it's helped balance out my complexion and skin tone.

      Comments about philosophy the microdelivery exfoliating wash, 8 fl oz:

      Generally I like it, but sometimes it does not remove all those dead cells and I end up having flakes here and there on my cheeks...(even after moisturizing). However, this is probably the best scrub I have owned so far. I think "philosophy" is a bit overrated. It could be cheaper, considering that it still does come with harsh chemicals...

        This product is the BOMB!!!! I have very sensitive skin and can't use harsh products on my face but this is gentle enough to use daily but I don't. I use at least 3 times a week and at night only. When I give myself a facial, the next morning I awake, my face looks radiant and feels as smooth as a baby's bottom... Great product and well worth the $$$....

                This a good daily product. You can feel the difference in your skin texture but it is not too harsh to use daily. It works best if your face is only just a little damp, not wet.

                  Comments about philosophy the microdelivery exfoliating wash, 8 fl oz:

                  I received a sample of this wash a few months back and loved it so much that when I made an order of prestige cosmetics & skincare products, this wash was the first thing in the bag. Makes your face feel so soft and clean without irritating, I noticed immediately that my skin glowed and looked clearer when I woke up this morning after just one use! I've read reviews that instruct you to shake the bottle before each use (great idea) and that it works well if you mix it with purity made simple. Since I didn't have any make-up on yesterday, I tried mixing it with my Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Wash on my Clarisonic and boy did I like the results. Not an inexpensive product but well-worth the hype in my opinion. Will be using this product for a long time!

                    I use this every night before I put on moisturizer. It takes away everything that's built up on my face, make up, lotion anything I've walked through, dead skin - all gone before bed and prepares my face to absorb the lotion. Love it!
