Received this as a sample from the friendly and super knowledgeable Laura Mercier rep at Nordstrom in Charlotte (Christine). She recommended it since I was having some breakouts. She said this exfoliator would help unclog my pores. At first I was skeptical, but that night I went home and saw automatic results. I ordered the product after three uses and now its been three weeks of using it after removing work make up. Better skin, a beautiful glow, and happy to show off my glowing skin (with or without makeup) :). Thank you, Christine!
