Gentle but effective
By lyra_b
I started using Aveeno products about two months ago and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin texture: much smoother and less redness. This scrub is very gentle - no harsh grains to cause abrasions or redness; just smooth, small microbeads that softly exfoliate your skin. I use this in conjunction with the Positively Radiant Cleanser and have been extremely happy. I have very oily and sensitive skin - believe me, I've tried just about every product out there and this is the best I've found.

One of my favorites
By Ashlee
I've used this scrub for about 2 years. Each time it lasts me about 6 months, b/c it takes such a small amount to do the job. My skin feels smoother and does in fact look brighter after use. The beads are very small which I prefer. I have somewhat sensitive, combination skin and this is one of few products I've tried that really works with that. I even feel safe letting my toddler daughter use a little dab when she wants to be just like mommy.

Be Careful: Contains Sodium Hydroxide
By Jordon A. Stanford
I've been using this for a little while and I noticed my face broke out more often when I was using it. Then I bothered to read the ingredients and noticed it contains Sodium Hydroxide. Sodium Hydroxide is, among many other industrial purposes, used to turn animal carcasses into pulp. Granted, SH is the last ingredient but I can't help but think that using this product over time could be a cancer or skin damage risk. I'll just copy and paste what I found on a website called truthinaging...
"Sodium Hydroxide is, however, a known irritant. Studies by the National Institute for Occupation Safety and Health found that this ingredient causes "Irritation eyes, skin, mucous membrane; pneumonitis; eye, skin burns; temporary loss of hair" and recommends that consumers prevent skin and eye contact. The CDC reports that "Skin contact with sodium hydroxide can cause severe burns with deep ulcerations. Pain and irritation are evident within 3 minutes, but contact with dilute solutions may not cause symptoms for several hours. Contact with the eye may produce pain and irritation, and in severe cases, clouding of the eye and blindness." Solutions as weak as .12% have shown to destruct healthy skin cells within one hour. Other studies acknowledge Sodium Hydroxide as a strong irritant that is corrosive to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, but that the severity of the effects are related directly to concentration and pH levels, as well as the length of exposure and skin type."
I think I'm going to be switching back to Queen Helene facial scrub.
