An exfoliant that is gentle enough for everyday use or is this just another daily time waster?

Its a big call advertising an exfoliant is gentle enough for daily use - especially for someone who has sensitive skin!

Alpha-H has this in the bag!  I have been using the Alpha-H 'Gentle daily exfoliant' for the past month and I have to say, even though my skin is not sensitive - this exfoliant is very nice for daily use.

The main ingredient in this wonderful daily exfoliant is Kaolin.   

Its natural adsorbent properties makes it essential in hygiene products and is often found in soaps, scrubs, poultices, deodorants, facial powders and masks.  It is the mildest of all clays and is suitable to add to products created for people with sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. It does not draw oils from the 

skin, so it can also be used on dry skin types without negative results.

Kaolin Clay is high in calcium, silica, zinc and magnesium, which are beneficial for oily, blemished skin. The clay's mildly drying and disinfectant properties help heal existing blemishes and inflammations, while preventing new ones from forming. It can also be used as a scent fixative.

Traditionally, clays are used to reduce swelling and inflammation, and to draw impurities from the skin. Cosmetic clays are made up of different mineral contents, and each clay type has a different effect on the skin. 

The high mineral content of White Kaolin Clay rejuvenates the skin while the clay exfoliates and stimulates blood circulation to the skin. Regular use of clay facials will remove dead skin cells, improve circulation to the skin, remove debris from the pores and bring about a smooth healthy glow.

This product is gentle enough to use on skin that has severe acne to skin that is very sensitive.  The packaging is different - I'm not a huge fan of the packaging to be honest.  You have to tip the product upside down to administer the exfoliant, to be honest it was frustrating, however good once the product was in my hand.  You then mix water to the powder to create 

a paste and rub it into your skin - i would suggest at least 3 minutes - it feels lush!!

All round a nice product that is best suited to sensitive/acne skin types - people who are used to a gritty exfoliant will not enjoy using this product.

I rate this product 6/10
