This scrub is incredibly gentle, even when compared to most "gentle" exfoliants -- this is definitely recommended for people using chemical exfoliants, or those with sensitive skin. If you're accustomed to an abrasive scrub, this scrub might feel too gentle at first! The one potential issue is that the formula does contain fragrance, so if you're sensitive to fragrance, you may want to try to score a sample before committing to the full size.
