I have many issues with my face such as acne, pimples and scars and have tried many exfoliating scrubs with various acids and chemicals and they totally ruined my face and made it worse actually. The first time I used palmer's facial scrub was really relieving and relaxing, I stopped breaking out one by one and my scars have closed up and faded. My face is not fully cured but it is getting there as this scrub do not cause itchiness and redness. I love it
