I found this in a Walgreen's and began using it when I was in school during a rather hot summer. You mix a scoop or two of the powder in a small glass bottle into a squirt of the included cream cleanser and then you scrubbed away. The scrub had a gentle texture and did a wonderful job. I went back for more and found the company's products on the clearance rack at Walgreen's. After fruitless searches through way too many Walgreen's and picking up the Bobbi Brown version once or twice I decided to put my vitamix to good use and pop in some beans and see what happened. In short, I saved myself $40 and have a pretty awesome face and body scrub that I can mix into any cleanser I want.
