Yes to Grapefruit

I have been searching for an effective, non-abrasive and nondrying exfoliating cleanser for at least 10 years. I've spent a lot of money in this area and eventually just went to using pure water as my facial cleanser. That method does nothing to address: dry skin / patches, blemishes, ingrown hairs, etc. Over time, my face just seemed dull and my eczema flared often. As well, after sweating, I was more likely to get inflammation. I started using this cleanser to aid in the treatment of sunburn + an ingrown hair breakout on my chin. 2 months later, my face is bright, totally clear, and smooth. I use once daily on extremely sensitive and reactive skin with eczema and hidradenitis suppurativa.

I didn't expect for this scrub to remove the redness from the congested acne on my mid/upper cheeks, but every time I use this, within five minutes of rinsing it off and drying my face, the redness completely disappears from everywhere except for one or two dots (if I happen to have any upon using). The scrub is a clear gel, with sparse and small beads to exfoliate your skin. There's not very many beads, so don't expect this to be like an apricot scrub; this is more like using an aloe gel that has some sugar sprinkles throughout. It turns white and creamy when you rub it into your skin. I wash my face with it every day for 60 seconds, and rinse it off until I'm squeaky clean. The scrub smells a little tart for my taste, but it doesn't smell like alcohol or plastic, and that's all that I want. The smell doesn't linger after rinsing. I've used it four times now consistently, following it with my serum and moisturizer, and I'm happy to say that it seems to be reducing my acne just by preventing more inflammation. Holy grail product for me!

The first time I bought this product I was very surprised and delighted at how well it worked exfoliating and the wonderful pungent grapefruit scent. It didn’t just kind of smell like grapefruit, it smelled like I’d cut open an actual grapefruit. The next time I needed another one, I got it at the same store. I brought it home and took off the seal, and as soon as I got it into my hand and close to my face I could tell something was wrong. It did not smell like grapefruit, it smelled rancid. I didn’t think I could return it to the store since it had just been opened so I tossed it in a drawer and forgot about it. After awhile I decided to go back to the store and buy another one because I remembered how well the first one worked. I thought maybe they had turned over their inventory enough times that I would be sure to get a fresh one, but the same thing happened. I had such high hopes for this product and expected to use it for many years but I just can’t justify purchasing it again.

Great product!!!! Can use every day on sensitive skin. Been using this for years! ❤️ It!!!

I have used and loved this face wash for over 5 years and you just changed the formula, adding MORE ingredients, a heavy perfume, and less exfoliating grit..... No!!! I am so so sad about this.... I am trying to find as much of the old formula as I can, because I honestly don’t think I will be able to stand the smell and loss of texture in the new version. WHY did you guys mess with such a good thing?!? It’s a shame :(

For the love of god, please keep making this product. This facewash is the only cleanser I could find that 1) actually cleans my skin 2) removes makeup 3) doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin 4) smells phenomenal 5) is actually natural. But I can’t seem to find it anywhere anymore! I’ve been using this for well over a year now and I love it.

Has this been discontinued? All stores are sold out - price is up on Amazon and now that sparkly grapefruit unicorn clay is everywhere! I miss the grapefruit scrub!!! (and the tomato scrub that's also MIA).
