This is hands down the very best face scrub I have ever used. It wisks away dead skin cells and leaves my face baby smoth and glowing. Everyone needs to try this product just once and they will be hooked! Thanks Lamer for this wonderful product.

IT WORKS!!! Best Home Facial
Date:July 11, 2011
Benefits: exfoliating, brighteniing, smaller pores, smoother skin, less microderm abrasions needed
Immediate results pores are less visible and skin is smoother. After 3 weeks of use, pores are noticeably smaller, skin is brighter and more even toned. Its crazy, but this scrub has given me better results than microderm abrasions. The price looks hefty but the results are so worth it. Less trips to salons for facials doesn't hurt a bit either. On my list, this is the next best thing to the Creme de La Mer. THANKS LA MER!!

a little pricy
Date:May 1, 2011
It has a pleasant smell and the skin felt clean and fresh after use. However, I'd say it's too pricy for a scrub.

nothing like it
Date:March 18, 2011
Benefits: smaller blackheads, smaller pores, even skin tone
This is the first time I have written a review on anything, this is that good. I see results after only using it once, it´s like a polish. My pores seem smaller, blackheads smaller and tone very even. It´s amazing, I´m a life long follower now.
I let my friend try it and she said her skins feels a lot better after this than her $75 facial she had earlier.

Very immediate results
Date:December 29, 2010
I love the fact that it provides very immediate results. Skin tone looks more even and pores look more refined and minimized after every wash. Your skin just looks amazing after, however I would not say the results are very permanent. I don't notice a dramatic reduction in blackheads or it really doing anything amazing to my skin long term wise. I do love using it when I'm sleeping over or on a trip when I have to wash off my make up but want my skin to look good, I use the refining facial. And honestly I've had my refining facial for over a year and I used it once or twice a week religiously. The price is steep but the product lasts. I'm on my 3rd tube.

Just used it twice and it removed most blackheads on mt nose. Very gentle.
It's a big tube for using just once a week, it may last over a year

Nice Product
Date:November 28, 2010
Benefits: smoothing brightening
I've used this product twice since purchasing and am pleased with the results. I think we can all rely on LaMer to deliver on their advertising, however, this is a bit pricey for a scrub. That said, I am pleased that this product doesn't dry my skin out for three days after use like some others and I will repurchase it.

Won't live without it!
Date:September 27, 2010
Benefits: bright soft glowing skin
What can I say that hasn't been said - except that I use many LaMer products and they're all amazing, but this is the best. It is so gentle but works better than any scrub out there. My skin is bright and smooth but doesn't get red like it always did before. I don't know it you're supposed to, but I use it every day without any problems. I probably don't even need it that often, but my skin just isn't the same without it. Love, love, love!!!

Glow inducing exfoliator/mask
Date:August 25, 2010
This makes you skin so so smooth, this has really cleared up my skin in conjunction with other LM products of course. The smell is fantastic...this is probably my favorite scent out of all the LM products! LA MER please please please make your own fragrance! Forget the SPA - the scent of your products just takes me to a happy place. Its pure heaven!!

Usually I can't use any scrub. But this scrub is so gentle, my skin has no problem with this. After I used it, my face felt so smooth and refreshed. I noticed that most blackheads on my nose disappeard. Great product.

The most amazing "scrub" I've ever used. I use it once a week and only need a small amount. The result is a beautifully glowing and a smooth as silk complection.

Disappointing Product
Date:June 13, 2010
I was so excited to get this item, but it was a dud for me. It has so few scrubbing granules and I didn't see much all that effect on my skin. A waste of money.

good product to recommend
Date:May 12, 2010
unlike other scrubs, this product is not harsh at all, very smooth, and the smell is fresh. after using it , you will feel how soft your face will be without irritating it.
would recommend those normal to oily skin users to have a cleansing mask first before you use this product, you will love your skin afterwards

perfect
Date:March 21, 2010
I generally cannot use any type of physical exfoliant; while I always wanted to better refine my facial skin it was just too dry and sensitive overall.....however, that was before I tried the Refining Facial. I will never be without this, or the Creme, ever again. I can wear this mask immediately before applying my moisturizer in the morning if I need - even with the physical exfoliation, for some reason, my skin is never red, never irritated, and in fact, looks brighter, smoother, and just prettier overall. My favorite thing to do is to apply it to clean dry skin and gently massage in, and then leave it to dry (it has a clay-like base, which is also antithetical since my skin is quite dry, yet this doesn't dry my skin in the least). I then rinse off and gently dry, and I am left with perfect skin. I can't get over the fact that I'm able to actually use a physical exfoliant - with a clay base, no less! - I love the Refining Facial!!!!!!

I am quite satisfied with cleansing gel, but not this product.
