Summary
Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse Off Formula is a paste with small particles that is very gentle to the skin, so gentle that it is safe to use it on a daily basis. The scrub is very economical and nicely exfoliates dead cells, it does need the application of the cream or moisturizer afterwards since the skin feels hydrated enough. However, if you suffer from black dots in T-zone the scrub will be of little use. I have a number of those, and only daily application of the scrub helped a bit, but not much. The scrub is also sharply scented, but the scent goes away quickly. In a nutshell, it is a nice scrub although a bit overpriced.

Effectively removes dead skin cells and leaves your skin soft.
Weakest points
YOu might find the exfoliating beads harsh.
Summary
Having read the other reviews I am surprised that folk found the beads gentle, I thought they were quite harsh and abrahsive compared to other products, especially those that use natural products for the beads.
However, this does mean that it leaves skin very smooth. I personally wouldn't want to use this more than once a week, but that is the idea.

Leaves the skin feeling very soft and smooth. The grains are gentle and the scrub has a creamy consistency which doesn't strip all the oil from the skin which tends to leave skin feeling tight.
Weakest points
It is pretty expensive and I don't have a problem with the scent but I know many people who have said that they don't like the scent because it smells chemically.
Summary
I think it's a good scrub but I wouldn't say it's the best out there, and the price is quite expensive.

Great choice if you have sensitive skin. I can't use a lot of brands, but this is great.

Summary
I was a little unsure of the feeling of this product at first. The grains are almost sugar like and not harsh or irritating. After exfoliation I felt an almost greasy residue on my skin. This did however disappear after patting my face dry and I was nicely surprised that my skin felt soft after the process. It has a nice subtle scent. It is not my favourite exfoliator but it is certainly worth the money.
