Here is my review:

I was pleased to read that it has fruit enzymes in this exfoliator. It is not as strong as ExfoliKate and it has these green/blue round beads. I have a cold right now, so this did not bother my sensitive skin, but I can't say if this scrub is as effective as Cellcosmet dual action and the stronger version of KS ExfoliKate. After I rinsed it off after two minutes, I felt refreshed, but I can't say that it help fade any skin discoloration or add any brightness as Cellcosmet and Juice Beauty Green Apple peel.

If I could not afford Cellcosmet dual action scrub, I think I would buy this instead, but I don't think it is as effective and would have to use Juice Beauty Apple Peel to help keep my skin looking bright.

The packaging for the jar version is cute and interesting. I hope Kate Somerville won't discontinue the jar version because I think the jar packaging would help attract new clients to try this brand.

I wanted to try this product for some time now!! I have used the JB Green Apple Peel, and liked the results of that product. I love organic products, although I often find it difficult to find an effective exfoliator. Do you think that this product is overall better than Juice Beauty's product for results?

No, I don't think so. I think JB is more affective, but if your skin is too sensitive to strong JB peel, then this would be the way to go. I did not feel any burning. Please keep in mind that I have no idea what the sensitive JB peel feels like, I got the full strength knowing that my skin can take it.

Thanks. I used to use the JB full strength peel and it was fine. However, they changed a few of the ingredients and the consistency is not as nice. I find the product a bit clogging to my pores. I know this may sound strange, but everytime I did a peel my pores would be clogged with stuff that was the same color as the mask. After extractions, it would only occur after the mask. Strange hey? Although, since I stopped using the product I have not found anything to replace it with...>VERY FRUSTRATING!!

Skincare, do you use Retin A? I am asking because I want to know whether you can use the Juice peel and Retin A (although obviously not at the same time) without irratation. TIA

I am and this is how I do it. I would use JB before I use my prescription which I wear in the evening and/or I use JB in the morning if I notice my skin tone is a bit pink/red.

I think the general effect of its products. In particular, that peptide creams, even more expensive than LA MER, but the effect of poor

I really like this product. It is a very gentle but effective high grade fruit enzyme exfoliator. However, when it first came out it was in a "pump jar" and was just too thick for the pump to work.

I have used haircare products in the clever pump jar which worked beautifully. So I was very pleased when Kate repackaged it into a tube. Actually a jar with a spatula would have been my choice, but at least now I can squeeze it out without having to throw the whole jar away when it stops pumping.

Overall, a superior exfoliator that I love to use a couple of times a week!

I am typing as I have the Exfolikate Intensive treatment on. Unfortunately, I bought this Exfolikate back in July when it was in the pump. And as some of you have mentioned, it no longer pumps! However, I have discovered if I deconstruct (take it a part) meaning take the cap off, unscrew the lid and VOILA, product is still left (And a lot of it). Then take a clean finger or beauty spoon, and apply.

Can't wait to purchase the squeeze bottle once this runs out, but in the mean time for those who are 'stuck' with the pump, try taking it a part, don't throw it away, you'll be surprised with the amount of product that is just not pumping out of the jar!!!

Other than the bad product bottling, which was luckily a mistake that was fixed, I LOVE this stuff! It's great, tingling at first, but once I wash it off, my face feels so clean and fresh!

KATE I only used the cream, very moisturizing. I know that this dissection is the most popular. Hope to have chance to try.

I prefer the ZO Skin Health Offects Exfoliating Cleanser more, it can be gentle exfoliating, sensitive skin can also ease of use. Do not worry too much skin irritation
