Advantages: Leaves skin feeling soft

Disadvantages: Skin looks a bit red straight after use

A while back I read an article somewhere that said Avon's clearskin scrub was one of the best budget face scrubs around, so as my sister is an Avon lady, I ordered a tube from her. The clearskin range is aimed at problem skin, and this is probably directed a bit more towards the teenage market, than for a 23 year old like me, but I still get spots, and as my skin can be very dry (especially in winter), I like to keep it exfoliated.

~Packaging~

This comes in a fairly plain looking white tube, with a blue screw-top lid and blue and purple writing. Instructions for use are on the back.

~Using it~

To use the scrub you simply massage it into wet skin. On squeezing this out of the tube for the first time, I was surprised to find that it is bright blue! It has a very thick consistency and almost looks like a paste.
When I applied it to my skin, and I could feel that it had lots of grains in it, which I always think is a good thing, as I like a scrub to feel like it's scrubbing, if you know what I mean!!
Now one thing I must mention, is that every time I have used this so far, I have found that it make my eyes water. It has quite a sharp scent to it, and on looking at the ingredients list, I found it contains Menthol, which I assume is what causes my eyes to water.
As the scrub is quite thick I find it takes a lot of rinsing to remove it all - something that is quite important, as I don't want to be going around with bits of blue left on my face!

~Results~

Straight after use, I find this leaves my skin feeling quite warm - but not uncomfortably so. I also tend to look a bit red straight after I've used it, but I get that with most scrubs, I don't think it's specific to this one, and it settles down fairly quickly.
The best thing about this product for me, is the feel of my skin after I've used it. My skin feels incredibly soft and smooth, and it also eradicates any patches of dry skin that I have. I have to admit though I haven't noticed that my skin looks any clearer than before.

~Price~

This costs £3.50 for a 100ml tube, but Avon often do special offers, so you might be able to get it cheaper. Visit www.avonshop.co.uk or speak to your local representative.
