My experience with this face scrub
After having some real good experience with Hollybeth's Natural luxury products that included the eye cream, hand cream and body Shea butter, I was quite expectant some real good results from this scrub too. But, sadly I couldn't make it work for me. The scrub has very thick consistency which is also quite sticky. The consistency makes it quite difficult evenly spread and scrub my face properly. The granules are quite big in size, but thankfully not very coarse in action. I could feel the exfoliation but at a very gentle level. The consistency of this product is more like a thick wheat dough's - sticky and difficult to spread.

Below are some of the likes and dislikes that I've felt about this scrub:
Likes:
1) I like the fact that it is made up of natural and organic ingredients and hence quite skin friendly.
2) The scrub is decently loaded with the exfoliating particles which are big in size but quite mild in action hence can work well in exfoliating the skin, provided you are able to spread it evenly on your face.
3) I like the mild fragrance of this product.
Dislikes:
1) It was a big overhead for me to make it work just because it is as thick as a wheat dough. I couldn't spread it evenly on my face even after diluting it with water. It feels the same way you'd feel on applying the sticky wheat dough on your face.
2) The exfoliant is quite mild in action and seeing the inconvenience of usage, I don't think it could be too effective in getting rid of in-depth settled dirt and ingrown hair.
3) Availability could be a problem as it is not available at stores worldwide, but you can buy it from the official website here.
Overall verdict: I am quite disappointed with this scrub because of all the reasons I mentioned above. Though in order to somehow make it work for me, I mix it with some of my face wash and then apply it on my face. The slippery texture of face-wash helps in diffusing the scrub’s particles, and makes them spread evenly. However, I still couldn't find any great results even after using it that way.
