Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub 5 oz (140 g)

 (31 customer reviews)

I started using Aveeno products about two months ago and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin texture: much smoother and less redness. This scrub is very gentle - no harsh grains to cause abrasions or redness; just smooth, small microbeads that softly exfoliate your skin.

I've used this scrub for about 2 years. Each time it lasts me about 6 months, b/c it takes such a small amount to do the job. My skin feels smoother and does in fact look brighter after use.

I even feel safe letting my toddler daughter use a little dab when she wants to be just like mommy.
