So I ordered the large one from Amazon. Needless to say, the delivery was smooth and the product was excellent. I had previously gone to several natural foods stores to get this but they had bottles on the shelf way past their expiration date. The one I got from Amazon was perfect. <br /> <br />You can feel the exfoliant working when you start massaging it on your face. It's slightly tingly (not in a bad way) and my face definitely felt smoother after using it. Also, I have had less breakouts since using this product. I currently use it about 2 to 3 times a week. It also helps that Zia is a cruelty-free brand and the ingredients are natural and plant-based which makes it perfect for everyone as well as our planet! <br /> <br />I will definitely use this exfoliant for a long long time :) Rating: 5 / 5 I bought the tiny travel-sized version of the bamboo exfoliants at Whole Foods and LOVED it.

I guess it is. I guess just about anything gritty could be, but I hadn't stopped to think about it. <br /> <br />I'd tried several. The very expensive Creme de la Mer. It's costs as much per ounce as pure gold (well, practically!) and is very good, very fine. I tried Oil of Olay! The grit in that is less fine but also very good. I tried a few other brands in between those two. <br /> <br />This Zia approximates the expensive stuff purchased at Neiman Marcus. It feels creamier than Olay. The scent is unobtrusive. It rinses off easily and it is comforting to know how natural it is. It is an excellent product. Yes, I'll buy it again. I like knowing that the products I use are safe for the environment and natural for my skin and I don't like paying more than I have to for them. <br /> <br />One caveat. If you're used to using exfoliants with heavy crushed peach stones in them for the grit, you may find this texture too fine. Still, I think its worth a try. It may be that that sandpaper feel is not all that good for your skin anyway. I use a loofah to maximize the cellular lift in areas around the nose and on the forehead. <br />---- <br />Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson <br />Award-winning novelist, poet and author of the HowToDoItFrugally series of books for writers Rating: 5 / 5 That was my question when I offered to review Zia Bamboo Exfoliant with Rice Bran.
