It won't work as a cleanser (it's a very thick paste that wouldn't get into your skin the way a cleanser would) but I do keep mine in the shower and the extra minute I spend (not to mention the money) has been well worth it. My skin is smoother (no dullness or even tiny dry flakes) for morning moisturizer and makeup.

No, it isn't. You will need to use a cleanser before you use this scrub.

I love this and keep it in my shower, but I still use my facial cleanser before I use this product. I use it about four times a week.

I don't think I would use this scrub more than a few times a week. Murad makes an excellent scrub that you could probably use daily (AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser).

This is just an exfoliator, not a face wash. I would recommend a gentle face wash to go along with this as well.

This would definitely work. I keep it in the shower, and use it on my face every day.

If I were you, I wouln't use it daily, only once or twice weekly. Might scrub off too much skin.

Bliss is definitely not too girly. It has a nice minty smell.

it smells like a sweet orange.

It doesn't smell 'girly' nor 'masculine'. It just smells clean and doesn't leave a lasting fragrance like most body washes do.

There is no floral undertone to this product at all. It's got a citrus note and smells clinical without it having a chemical smell.

No not at all.

I use the Bliss Pore Perfecting Facial Polish after washing my face with Philosophy's Purity cleanser. It has definitely worked with keeping my face smooth and tight, especially around my jaw line. I have also noticed that my pores appear smaller after I wash my face.

Although I do recommend using both products in the same routine, I don't recommend using both everyday. I use Philosophy everyday to cleanse my face, and Bliss every other day. I noticed that if I use Bliss too much, my skin starts to get very sensitive when I use the facial polish.

Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, it's not a cleanser and I wouldn't use it without a cleanser first. But it does do a good job of clearing away even my smallest visible dead skin flakes which would help keep your skin become clearer as well as provide a good clean slate to allow any of your treatment products to work. I use Philosophy Purity as a cleanser before the polish and have found that to be a great, non-irritating combination.

I wouldn't use this product as an everyday face wash. You don't want to be using something like this everyday because it may be to harsh for your skin. I use it about twice a week.

Yes and no, it does cleanse the skin, but its not a daily cleanser. In fact, you should use a gentle cleanser before doing any kind of exfoliation.

A cleanser for once a week. Leaves your skin feeling very soft if you use it at night before bedtime(and moisturize too after ofcourse).

You don't want to use any face wash with beads in it with your Clarisonic. Just a face wash thats foaming or creamy, not exfoliating. Because the Clarisonic is already getting that dead skin off your face and if you add exfoliating beads to it, it can damage your skin.

You could probably use Dawn dish soap with a Clarisonic! LOL

But seriously, there isn't a lot of grain in this, it probably wouldn't translate well to a clarisonic.

I think it works great all on its own.

It's already a scrub so I don't think I would use it with the clarisonic. Personally, I would just stick with cleansers for the clarisonic.

Yes with the sensitive skin brush

I've found that the mask is more of a treatment and this is more for maintenance. It won't have the same immediate punch as the mask, but over time I get better results with the polish.

I think steep clean is good for getting the "gunk" out of pores and it does make your face feel smoother (great in summer). I picked up the pore perfecting polish because of dry winter skin and found it is better than the mask at removing dead skin. When I bought this, a sales rep suggested I use the pore polish to remove the mask to maximize the benefits of both products. The pore polish can be used multiple times a week and Steep Clean should only be used once or twice a week. They work well together and are both nice products but the pore polish is better for exfoliating and for "every day" use. Steep Clean is good for when your skin needs a little extra "oomph." If I had to choose between the two I'd pick the pore polish only because it is better at exfoliating, can be used more frequently, and you can feel it working because of the grains.

I have not used both but my aesthetician was really impressed with how much better my skin looked. She commented specifically about how I had less blackheads and my skin looked smoother. It is a great exfoliator.

I would try using this along with a green tea facial cleanser that also has tea tree oil. Those cleansers can be found in co-ops or other stores that sell all-natural products. It worked for my brother who had these type of problems all over his face.

It sounds like your really trying to get your acne and blackheads under control, but I have a few suggestions that you might want to try (it worked really well for me). I would incorporate this scrub or any scrub to your routine, as the 5% bp product is not really going to exfoliate the skin. Gently exfoliate often, and make sure you are moisturizing your skin, because BP is very effective, but also very drying. (look for a product with hydraluronic acid, it moisturizes well and will not cause breakouts- avoid mineral oil at all costs). The blackheads wont go away unless you have them extracted by a facialist, although this routine should help prevent new ones. One more thing, make sure your using a gentle sulfate free cleanser. Good luck, I hope this works for you as well as it has for me!

I have not yet tried LM's scrub, but I can tell you that even though the suggested usage for Bliss is only a few times a week, I use a small amount of this daily and it has not caused any redness, sensitivity, or breakouts. I've just ordered my second tube so I can definitely recommend giving this one a try.

I too have sensitive skin but am enjoying the murad products. I used the murad face-mask instead of night-cream by accident, which is to be left on for only 10 minutes, but my skin was fine. Maybe even a little smoother!
