quite sticky interesting consistency smells exactly like the ingredients coffee and salt [SEP] edited tried to be descriptive in the title this scrub is very interesting to me because it is much stickier than i thought it would be i previously was using the terre de mars coffee aloe scrub and i got great results soft matte skin after washing off with near complete resolution of my frequent forehead breakouts so i wanted to give this coffee product a try when i saw it for comparison from a smell standpoint it is fine like sweet coffee but with a saltiness to it and texture wise it does have some grit behind it to feel like you are getting a good scrub when you apply it can see the sea salt as i noted earlier though it is quite sticky and the dark color of the coffee can be a bit difficult to get off your skin i follow the scrub w a cleanser and thorough rinse after which gets it all off without too much mess i have not used it long enough to say it is really making a big difference but the few times i did use it i did feel like my skin was softer than before so that is a good sign
