I have been looking for a facial scrub and the trial size of this product from REN seemed to meet my expectations for being gentle and effective. Added to the fact that REN products are formulated without Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates.

It is said that the scrub cleanses the skin with exfoliating beads made from jojoba wax and the wax microbeads gently lift and exfoliate dead skin cells and other pollutants.
Thereafter, the wax melts to indicate that the exfoliation phase is finished. The melted jojoba wax then deeply hydrates to firm and plump up the skin.

The scrub with its creamy formula contains very fine beads that are hardly abrasive on my delicate skin and gives a good exfoliation without any redness. With a pleasant menthol scent, its indeed pleasant to use.

Skin feels so much smoother after the scrub which may just tempt me into getting the full retail size until I read further on the ingredients.
 
According to Paula, due to its inclusion of juniper and peppermint oils, it may irritates skin resulting in the breakdown of collagen and elastin which isn't good news, isn't it?

The product scored 4.3 from 72 users on Makeupalley.

As mine is not the full size, the full ingredient list is not reflected and upon checking on the web, it seemed to have 2 slightly differing ingredient list which are posted for your reference.
