AIBU to think St Ives is the best facial scrub (thanks MN for recommending)

[EvalionAngel]

It's just an amazing product, I usually miss some of the lesser known products like St Ives and go for Clinique, Loreal etc. Some products from them are good and I still use boy St Ives has been a miracle product it's made my skin so clear and I usually get so much oil and blemishes.

It's the best thing ever! Totally solved my acne

I love it. Skin feels amazing after.

The Boots No7 Beautiful Skin one is also amazing, had a small tube in the advent calendar and I am tempted to buy it, skin feels so soft after and it's very light and a small bit goes a long way.

One thing I never buy is facial/body scrub. I use sugar in my shower gel.

I can't use any exfoliation/scrub products as I have roseacea and scrubs really cause a flare-up.

I stick to a cream cleanser (Soap and Glory peaches and clean), and no toner, just moisturiser.

Yeah, it smells amazing!

However I've learned that physical exfoliants really aren't very good for the skin and can be really damaging. My skin benefitted hugely from switching to chemical exfoliation (which sounds scary but is often much more gentle than physically scrubbing at your skin cells).

AHAs, like glycolic acid, and BHAs, such as salicylic, are best IMO! Also excellent for firming up skin and clearing spots.

I don't use anything scrubby. I exfoliate sparingly with chemical exfoliators.

Oh, I cannot use anything with cosmetic testing

Paula's choice do a lot of chemical stuff, but the price >faints< Any recommendations for a cheap chemical type scrub?

REN flash rinse 1 minute facial.

REN Glycolactic radiance renewal mask

SpecialAgent check out Paula's choice samples section. I know it's stil pricey but this should last you a bit and you can test if actually get on with it. I love it.
