Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. I can see why this enzyme scrub can give you "smooth, radiant and glowing skin in seconds". It is jam packed with AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs allowing the skin to be exfoliated and other ingredients with healing, anti-aging, and softening properties. For me, this scrub is going to be way too abrasive with alcohol being one of the top ingredients and a whole list of acids to follow. Not to mention my slight allergy to #salicylic. I would not recommend this for someone with sensitive skin. I also have to point out that the claim is "... A Skincare Brand Packed with All Natural Ingredients" yet I see two synthetically derived ingredients: carbomer and 1,2-Hexanediol. Perhaps ALL should be omitted to make the statement true? In the grand scheme of things, it has some great extracts and for the price would say anyone with problematic skin would likely benefit from this scrub. Have you tried the new Wishful Skin?
