The gentle microbeads of this physical exfoliant gently buffs away dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and bacteria. It helps improve the skin tone and offers a youthful glow and a natural flush that is nothing like the angry redness of harsh scrubbing.
It does not clog the pores, instead clears away the debris and residues to reduce the pore sizes. The creamy, gel-like consistency with smooth exfoliating beads does not irritate the skin. The product has a mild, pleasant scent that does not trigger sensitivities. It works a bit like a cleanser too, as it lathers up a bit to cleanse while exfoliating the skin.

The Final Verdict
If you are on the lookout for a gentle physical exfoliant that does not damage your skin or the environment without burning a hole through your budget, the Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub is your go-to buddy. The gentle microbeads do not cause micro-tears, but sloths off dead and dry skin cells to reveal healthy, bright skin. You can use this product on the upper arms, neck, and chest areas for regular scrubbing and exfoliation. It is free of harmful chemicals that might aggravate acne or sensitive skin. The dermatologist-approved formula has a fresh fragrance for a refreshing beginning or end to your day. However, avoid using this product on damaged or broken skin or extremely active acne.
