Baxter of California Skin Toner Facial Scrub

Reviewer: lawrence, 2004-10-17 16:03:30
This is a very good scrub and really gets the job done but it can be a little harsh for people with sensitive skin. My skin doesn't get irritation very easily and I have to tone it done a little by mixing it with a glob of face wash. Because I mix it wih face wash I only have to use a little bit to get a really nice consistency that really gets my face clean. Therefore one tube of this will likely last 6 months or more. Great value and an excellent scent. I personally recommend mixing with the Baxter face wash but any face wash should work fine.

I agree. You get a very good product at a very good price! A little bit goes a long way. I use it 3 times a week and use a mild cleanser in between. I like the mild scent.

Bit dissapointed with this product I am . Smell is nice, almond I think. But the problem here is with the size of scrubbung particles. They are very large.
About 2-3 times bigger than Menscience Scrub and about 1.5 - 2.5 bigger than
CN scrub. They remind me more like Heavy Duty Body scrub. Definately not for daily use on your face. Maybe twice a week sort of thing. I do not think that
you should have to mix it with a face wash to achieve right consistency of a product
that should be designed from start to work on its own. I would rather recommend using CN scrub instead . Price and performance wise.

Better than most scrubs and very reasonably priced. There's plenty of scrubbing particles in this one, but they are a tad large. The only alternative is the MenScience Microfine scrub, and it's a bit pricey ($12 for 4oz of Baxters, $26 for 6oz of MenScience). Can be a bit abrasive as a result of the size of the particle, but it's better than most alternatives. Guys with sensitive skin should probably look at the MenScience scrub. The Baxters is an excellent value though.

This is an aggressive scrub, but I love it. I use it about 3 times a week and provides noticeable results. One of the problems I have with some scrubs is the particles are so small, or so few of them, they are hardly effective (Anthony for example). This is not the case with Baxters. The smell is also great.

Highly recommended.

I have dry to normal skin

At times my skin can get quite sensitive, and I do not have a problem with this scrub. In fact, this is my favorite scrub.
I do not use daily, twice a week does the job for me. Great smell and I love the particles. They do feel large, or rather, they make other scrubs seem small -- I think the size of the particles is a plus now that I've used it for a bit. Your face will surely feel clean after using this -- does great with the blackheads on my nose and I feel it does great on prepping my beard (and helping with ingrowns if I happen to have any).
In the end, my skin looks better after using -- what more could you want?

I like this scrub a lot. The scent is amazing and it does an amazing job at lifting up dead skin from the face; probably better than any scrub out there. I switched to the Men Science face scrub since it's considerably more gentle, but still use this one on my body. I'll definitely buy it again when it runs out, but it lasts so long, I don't know if I'll have reason to.

This is a really serious scrub. If you have sensitive skin you'll probably find it way too aggressive. The scrubbing beads are very rough and it seems that the product would be better used on the body than the face.

The ingredients of this product are lovely. However, the scrubbing particles and way too large for a facial scrub. One of the main functions of a scrub for a man is as part of the pre-shave routine and there is no way you can use this every day or even every other day. So for me that restricts it to once a week prior to my mask treatment.

Take a handful of wet sand... add a little almond oil scent.. apply to face and scrub. This is this product.

OUCH.

Scrub grains are large and very abrasive, much more than I think are necessary. The scent is very nice, though, having a pleasing almomd scent, but I really didn't want to scrub my face with this stuff. More gentle, pleasing scrubs exist that do the same job.

Great product I loved it.

Absolutely impressed. People on this board were not kidding. This product is awsome. It is very refreshing. This is a real man's scrub!

I've tried this and the MenScience scrub, and while I prefer the MenScience scrub, I was not displeased with this scrub. The particles in this scrub are MUCH bigger, which leads to a more vigorous scrubbing experience, which I think can be painful for people with sensitive skin. I personally feel that the smaller buffing particles in the MenScience scrub lends itself to a more thorough clean. This also smells absolutely delicious.
