Origins Modern Friction
Topic: Exfoliators

One of the workhorses in the Origins skincare line is Modern Friction and I've finally had a chance to give it a real try.  Retailing at $37.50 for a 4 oz jar, here's what you get:

Cons

  • The product is in a jar - not very sanitary.  You're forced to dig your hands in there before every use.  A tube similar to Clinique's 7 Day Scrub would have been better.
  • At 9.37 per oz, its not the cheapest option (but certainly not the most expensive - read my review of Dr. Brandt's exfoliator).
  • Much too harsh for sensitive skins, even when used wet.

Pros

  • It works wonderfully.  Old skin is sloughed away bringing fresh, bright skin to the surface.
  • The scent is just the most amazing mix of lemon and peppermint and I usually hate scented products!
  • It has just a touch of aloe to soothe any redness

All in all, this product is full of win.  It can be used every other day or every 3 days and I hope you give it a try!  If you have this, let me know what you think.

i love this scrub too. be careful with it because it BURNS if it gets anywhere near the eyes, even when you are trying to be super careful while rinsing.
