Manuka Honey Exfoliating Facial Scrub - Microdermabrasion Face Exfoliant

I am 71 years old, and have been using this face scrub/mask for about two weeks. First of all, I don't have any major skin problems. I have been using all natural products on my face for the last couple of years, and noticed a couple of what looks like blackheads at the side of my nose. Whether this was caused by the oils I use on my face or just an aging thing, I don't know. At any rate, I decided it was time to look for a facial scrub, and chose this one because of the natural ingredients. As a facial scrub, I love it. The granules are small and not like rocks and the substance they are in applies easily and fluidly. The directions on the container recommend applying and leaving on your face for 1-3 minutes. Since I don't have a lot of spare time and am always in a hurry, I have managed to leave it on for 1 minute and have used it 3 times per week. I have noticed that the little blackheads around my nose are disappearing, it rinses off easily, and my face feels so much cleaner feeling than it has with other cleansers I have tried. I do use rose water and a natural moisturizer afterwards, and have to say that my skin looks brighter and healthier. I have not yet tried this product as a facial mask that would require leaving it on for 15-20 minutes, but I will try this in the near future. If this works as a mask, it would be so much better than the thick grey stuff you need to smear on your face and let it dry until it cracks. At this point, I am very happy with the results when using this product and would recommend it. As yet, I have had absolutely no problems with sensitivity or adverse effects. I will update this review if my opinion changes or if I have any additional information. UPDATE 7/04/18: For the last couple of weeks, I have tried applying this mask to my face before I take a bath and leaving it on until the end of my bath. As a mask, it doesn't get stiff and dry as other masks I have tried and it rinses off easily at the end of my bath. As a mask, I can't honestly say that it does much more than using it as a cleanser, but I do like the way my face feels after using it. As a scrub, I like it very much and will continue to use it. UPDATE 03/02/20: I am now 73 years old, and have been using this scrub for almost 2 years. To be honest, I haven't been consistent in when I use it. Sometimes I use it once a week and other times I go as much as a month between uses. What I have noticed when I use it is that my face feels silky smooth after I rinse it off. I have also noticed that none of the pores on my face look enlarged. I use warm water on my face before applying it and then use warm water to rinse it off. I still very much like this scrub and will continue using it. I am not good at taking selfies, but I have added a picture of me at 73. You be the judge. UPDATE 02/23/2026: I am now 79 years old and have updated my picture. To be honest, I got away from using this facial scrub to try a couple of other brands. I have recently started using this facial scrub again and prefer it to the others. This facial scrub makes my face feel smoother and cleaner than the others. I also like that it can be used as a mask. I have been using it twice a week as a scrub and once a week as a mask. This is my favorite facial scrub and mask now. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update it i my opinion changes.

So far I love this product! I have been using this in conjunction with some other Era Organic products, and have to say, I am pleased with the results so far. To give you a background on my skin, I have Keratosis Pilaris Rubra Faceii. If you are unfamiliar with it, it is where your skin is rough, and bumpy due to hair follicles getting plugged up with keratin, along with redness and flushing on the face. I have tried various products over the years. My recent skincare regime was using an exfoliating cleanser with AHA/BHA (acids). However, my face was feeling very dried out, especially now that it is the winter. My skin has days where it looks much worse, and flairs up so it looks very red. Usually if I can combat the bumps, it helps combat the redness. I started using the Era Organics Cleanser & Relief for my skin. I especially like that it contains manuka honey, since I have been prone to break out in the past as well. Although I was feeling like my skin was getting the nutrients it needs, I felt like it needed a little more. So, I decided to try the microdermabrasion scrub. I love it!! After reading other reviews I was worried it wouldn't give me the exfoliation I needed... but it does. I actually use this once a day, if possible, since I do have such rough skin. Here is the new regimen I have created! - Cleanse first with Era Organics cleanser (I don't use a wash cloth, but I do use a plain Konjac sponge to help aid in a little exfoliation) - Use the microdermabrasion scrub (unscented). I use a dime size amount, which is a good amount for me. I love how gritty this feels, and the walnut shells provide a good level of exfoliation without feeling I am scraping my skin off. After using this for a few mins, I leave it on my face for an extra 5 or so, then rinse it off. - Dead Sea Mud Mask by Era Organics. This also helps to exfoliate, so I love using this after the scrub. It does tingle very slightly when putting this on and provides a warming sensation. If you have sensitive skin I would be cautious using this right after the scrub, so be careful. For me it just gives a deeper level of cleansing and the extra needed exfoliation. I love how my skin feels after this... much softer, and the redness seems to tone down a bit. - Relief cream by Era Organics - Since my face feels a little dry after using the mud mask and because it is very dry in our house I LOVE how it feels to put the Revive cream on after. My face seems to soak it up. I apply this various times a day. Since it is so moisturizing I always rub it on my hands after my face. Here are a few things I have noticed from using these products!: - My pores around my mouth always seemed clogged. This has gone away so far. - The bumpiness on my cheeks is improving, while the bumpiness around my eyebrows is taking longer. - The overall redness seems to subsided. I don't feel like I need to wear as much foundation all the time. - My pigment spots are lightening slightly. - I have acne scars on my forehead, so I am anxious to see if they go away. To me they seemed to have lessened. - My skin feels less dry, and overall softer. So far I really like how my skin is looking. I love the idea of using healthy & organic ingredients while keeping the ph of my skin to where it thrives. I will also mention that I am nursing my daughter, so the ingredients I put on my body need to be healthy and not contain chemicals. I love all of these products so far, and will keep you updated!! I noticed a lot of people got these products at discounted prices to review. I purchased all of these at full price and am writing my review on my experience alone.

My cheeks have become blotchy and red over the last year or two. I have been using sugar scrubs and clay masks to try to sooth my complexion to no avail. Sugar scrubs made my skin ultra soft and smooth, but did not remove redness. Clay masks reduced pore size but also did not reduce redness. I decided to try this product to address redness and to see if it helped with blackheads and other breakouts. I am tired of people telling me that I look flushed! In accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions on the label, I use this scrub every two or three days on my damp face, and scrub gently with my fingers for 60 seconds. This scrub is similar to a sugar scrub but less gritty and with no scent, and the particles that provide scrubbing do not dissolve in water. The color and texture are similar to St. Ives Apricot Scrub, but this scrub is gentler and less abrasive. After two weeks of use, the general blotchiness and uneven skin tone on my cheeks started to fade and, after a month of use, the overall redness was reduced. This made me very happy! Positives: - Eliminated blotchiness. - Reduced redness. - Left skin moderately soft. - Reduced scars. - Gently exfoliated. - Reduced severity of breakouts. - Reduced T-zone dryness and flakiness. Negatives: - Did not reduce pore size. - Did not improve blackheads. In summary, I recommend this to help with redness, blotchiness, and flakiness. The only reason that this is a four star review instead of five star is because it is advertised to “minimize pores” and “reduce... blackheads,” but it did not do either of those things for me.

Love Love Love . Highly recommend this exfoliator. Truly the first product that leaves my skin smooth, does not irritate or dry out my sensitive skin. Only takes a pearl size drop, I use it 3 to 4 x a week.

Looking for another type of exfoiliant scrub other than St Ives & decided to try this one, based off reviews. Washed my face twice in the last 24 hours (followed with a good moisturizer) and my skin has been feeling very fresh and very smooth. Smells nice too. Love it so much!

This is a decent product, however there is very little exfoliant in it, you’d have to use 1/3 of the jar to actually get enough. You’re better off buying the honey on its own and adding coconut sugar. You’ll get way more and it’s more effective.

Very good product, smells and feels good. Makes my face feel smooth, seems like good ingredients. Def keep coming back and buying more of these.

Love that it's not too rough however, seems to still exfoliate well. I love how soft and smooth my skin feels afterwards. Also, it's nice how ypu can use it as a mask as well.

Nice to use and gentle on the skin.

قمت باستخدامه مرتين ولكن لاحظت المره الثالثه بان هناك روائح غير مستساغه وكانه قد تلف. ولا ينفع للاستخدام. للاسف. واخاف من ان اضعه على وجهي من جديد وخسارة ما تم دفعه 👎👎

Excellent genuine product. Works well with any skin type and does not have any harsh chemicals like other product. Highly recommend and you won't be disappointed. This is my second purchase and it has done wonders for my skin especially around congested skin.

A clear skin look after using this product. Goes a long way.

Exellent product
