A little too abrasive for my face but WONDERFUL as a body scrub [SEP] I have pretty sensitive skin, so I tried a bit on my face before fully committing and it was a little too rough for me.  However, I absolutely love it as an exfoliant for my hands, chest and arms.  It smells awesome, not too perfumey.  The charcoal is dark and will definitely show up on your sink or bathtub, make sure you wipe it all down when you're finished or it'll look pretty dirty.
