I bought this product for myself (myself being female) after using a mini sized version of this my boyfriend received in a gift pack. For me this is one of the best face scrubs I have used, and works better for me than some of the scrubs on the market aimed at women. This is not too gentle and not too abrasive, exactly the right about to feel like an exfoliation is taking place. The subtle peppermint fragrance and oils leave my skin feeling very fresh, clean and beautifully smooth - which is precisely what I want from a face scrub. Polished to perfection. Highly recommend for guys as well as girls.
