This is a lovely exfoliator and one of my recent favourites from The Body Shop. Seaweed based products are always beneficial to clogged pores and complexions. When you skin is in contact with seaweed extract the pores immediately open allowing a deep down pore cleanse. This exfoliator has a lightweight clear gel based which is packed full of jojoba beads and crushed olive stone that is not harsh or scratchy on the skin. It is certainly not the mildest scrub either so if you are sensitive you should do a patch test first. The fragrance is light and fresh and the seaweed extract helps to open the pores for a deep cleanse whilst the exfoliating particles leave your skin super smooth and radiant. You only need a small amount for one application and the tube lasts a very long time. After rinsing and drying your face it does not feel dry, tight or irritated in any way. Just smooth, soft and moisturised dewy skin.
This product is so easy to use and has amazing results on refreshing the skins surface I highly recommend

Summary
A really good scrub for sensitive skin, I used this when I was given the whole lot as a set and I was really happy about the ease of use.
The consistency is thinner than some scrubs but it works really well at buffing all the dead skin and dirt from the surface of the skin, even cleaning out some pores too.
My skin looked clearer, felt smoother and skin was so soft.
I expected this range to smell a little strange, but I was really surprised as it actually smells really nice.
