I suffer from some very bad oily skin, with the apples of my cheeks being very dry. I hadn't found a facial wash that could actually conquer and control the oil for more than one day, AND not break my skin out because of the abrasives in the scrub. To be thorough, I used an entire tube of this and ordered a second one before leaving a review. Everyone's skin is different and I know some products wont work for some as good as they do others, but I think it's worth the money to try it. If it doesn't work for your face, the scrub works great on arms and legs too
