Product Description
Acure Brightening Body Scrub is a brightening blend of clay, sea salt and niacinamide scrub with an exfoliating experience that will keep you soft and refreshed.
I use body scrubs on a regular basis to keep my skin soft, smooth and healthy. The skin is in a constant state of turnover where dead skin rises to the surface, sheds naturally and reveals the baby soft skin underneath. This process slows over time and contributes to a buildup of dead cells on the skin’s surface.
The goal of a body scrub is to remove dead skin cells and encourage the healthy production of new ones. It also helps to promote efficient circulation and skin cell turnover, smoothing and softening rough, dry skin and drawing out impurities and clearing congestion.
If you drink coffee on a regular basis, you can also mix used coffee grounds with coconut oil and salt/sugar to make your own body scrub to save some moolah. Check out my past body scrub reviews and what I have tried from Acure Organics.

They source the highest quality ingredients and its mission is to take skin and hair from blah to brilliant by boosting the performance with powerful combinations of amazing ingredients. Their products do not contain parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde, paraffin, mineral oil or animal testing.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Acure Brightening Body Scrub is housed in a bright yellow 177ml sized tube that gives off a cheerful vibe. It has a subtle scent and the soft creamy nitty gritty texture is dark brown in colour which reminded me vaguely of I'm From Vitamin Tree Mask.
How To Use :
1) Apply to a wet body and scrub gently with your fingertips.
2) Rinse thoroughly.
note : Use 3x/week for glowing results.
Performance and Ingredients
Acure Brightening Body Scrub has a nitty-gritty texture which may came across as slightly abrasive for sensitive skin. That said, it does provide a very smooth skin after exfoliation. However, I don't really notice any brightening effect from the scrub.
When its down to the last 20% contents, it became increasingly difficult to get the contents out of the tube and I have to cut it and decant them to a jar for easy access. As time goes by, the texture and colour started to remind me of poop at times. If you need something to scare the kids for fun, you can consider smearing them on your body and get them to clean it up for you. Perhaps through this test, you might realize which child is more dependable during old age? :P

Conclusion
To conclude, Acure Brightening Body Scrub is a nice body scrub for smoother skin but it may be slightly abrasive for those with delicate skin. It also contains citrus oils so may not be suitable for those with sensitive skin.
Giovanni Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub is my all-time favourite body scrub and Origins Smoothing Ginger Body Scrub is a great gentle body scrub with a divine scent.
