Lovely, exfoliating, clean, fresh... a few words to describe it. I was sceptical but I really do like it. I just started with clinique. I just started breaking out over my eye brows and it used this exfoliating wash m, it did such a good job. The dead skin on my face and oily layers all went off. The breakouts were more in the surface and in a few more washes theg were cleaned out. Typically I break out of my shoulders not my face. I use it for my shoulders too.
