I always used to use a facial scrub as my everyday face-wash, but since I started using the clinique three-step (soap/cleanser/moisturiser) became concious that I wasn't exfoliating my face properly.
I got a free sample of teh 7 day scrub cream, and I assume (although I can't be sure!) that you are supposed to use it once a week as part of your skin-care routine. That's what I do anyway!
I normally use it in the shower, so my face is already wet through, and squeeze a small amount of the product onto my hand. The first thing I noticed is that it didn't look like it was going to be able to exfoliate very well, as it wasn't 'lumpy' it appeared more like a cream.
The micro-beads are so tiny that you can only feel them, but not see them. It is quite creamy, and moisturising, and doesn't really smell of anything. It doesn't dry skin as much as some exfoliating scrubs do, and seems to moisturise it instead. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, but think this would be ok if you did have.
I rub it over my face, jaw line and neck, for a good few minutes, and then rinse off with clean water. Think the massaging of the face also stimulates the circulation, making your skin healthier. Apparently it can be used on the lips as well, but I've not been brave enough to do this yet!
After I've used it, my skin looks fresh, and since using it, I've found I don't suffer from black heads as much as I used to, so the tiny tiny tiny micro-beads must be cleaning some dirt away!
The fact that I used up all the free gift, and went on to purchase it, shows how good I thought it was! It is £15 for 100ml, which seems expensive, but remember if you only use it once a week, it lasts ages.
