I use this product everyday in the shower before using the Clinique gel, and it doesn't dry out or irritate my skin. It's very gentle and I love its creamy formula.

I have been. It's not a harsh treatment. The size of the exfoliants is tiny. I'm guessing that's why it works well (for me anyway)

Yes. I have used it every day for years. (Even before it was a rinse off!!)

answer 6

Yes, you can use this everyday because it has a cream base and is not as abrasive as some other exfoliators. I would recommend using this only once or twice a week because you shouldn't scrub too often, it can dry out your face, but you know your skin and can decide how often you use this.

answer 7

I wouldn't recommend using an exfoliating cleanser every day of the week. If you have oily skin or live in a humid/hot climate you can get away with using it 2-3 times a week. If you live in a drier climate or experience harsh winter weather, once a week is fine.

Yes! You can certainly use this more than 7 days in a row. I'm pretty sure that the "7 Day" in the title refers to the fact that this scrub is so gentle that you can use it 7 days a week.

I think it is safe to use it for more than 7 days. But the reason why i dont use it everyday is because any product that is used on your skin will be used to it. So i take a break and use it again, and it feel just as effective as day 1 =) hope that helps

It is so gentle but effective you can use it every day. It has helped with my skin tone since I've been using it. I first got it for a Christmas present and have purchased it since. I love this stuff. Worth the price since you don't need to use very much of it.

Hi there!

I believe that the name refers to fact that you "take off a week's worth of dirt/grime" with the exfoliating cream.

I use it once or twice a week, depending on how my skin feels. I would try it once a week first, and if that doesn't seem effective for you, start bumping up the usage. I have sensitive skin, so I wouldn't do it more than three times a week.

Hope that helps!

What is special is that you can use it anyway that works for YOU.
I have mature skin so i massage it on dry clean skin and rinse in the shower. You can always use a toner after however I find the mousture left behind is what make me glow more. When I was younger I would use it before shower and then wash with a gentle soap to clear the residue. See what works for you.

You use it once a week on a clean damp face. (I typically use it in the shower.) I squeeze a quarter sized dollop into my hand then dab it on my forehead, nose, chin, and each cheek. Using slow circular motions I gently buff my skin with the scrub and my finger tips until I feel like I've done enough. Rinse with warm water. Personally, I like to follow with my medicated acne wash right after rinsing the scrub.
