Not enough for pre-tanning [SEP] This exfoliant goes with the whole Sun Lab tanning system. I suppose it might be a microexfoliant however it did not give a satisfactory exfoliation for my skin because the beads were too small. And yes, I did notice a few patches of unflattering dry skin upon tanning. I do use it for my face because it's very gentle. Bottom line: Weak for the body, fantastic for the face.
