Re multi-national supplier - Google any of the ingredients below with 'China supplier' etc to see an example of where most extracts are sourced from. Plant extracts shown in ingredient lists are presumed not to be 'medicinal grade' if no mention of this term or the quality/strength is made.

By Mrs I love using this exfoliating cleanser. The fine particles gently but effectively reveal smoother, softer skin. It's a quick pick-me-up for the skin and achieves instant results.
By Aynur This has to be one of the best facial scrubs on the market. This product actually delivers what it claims. The scent is gorgeous as with all Simplicite products. It's all natural and doesn't reek of synthetic perfumes. The granules work wonders in 'polishing' your skin but it's not abrasive and you can feel almost a gentle warmth of the cinnamon at work. My skin feels glorious after using this product. This will be a keeper in my skincare routine.
By Sarah LOVE IT!!!If your thinking of giving the product a go - go for it. I have a problem with large pores and very sensitive skin. Normally, exfoliators usually make my skin worse (I break out and pores get even bigger!). This product is not only gentle on my skin... but actually works. I've been using it for 3 weeks and it has evened my skin out and helped to lessen the appearance of my pores. Well worth the price!
By Kimberley This is the best exfoliant I've ever used, highly recommended. On first couple of uses I did find it left my skin quite red however this improved with use. I find this product is great for my oily, breakout skin with less breakouts and smoother looking skin. Great product.
By KYM I have only recently bought this product but absolutely love it!!!!At first I was a little concerned about how red my skin was after using it but after conformation from Simplicite that this can happen I continued using it only to find the redness has reduced,my skin is a lot clearer and pores have become smaller.The overall look is a fresher and healthier looking complexion. Everyone should try this product, you will notice the difference!!
By Lea-Anne Even on my dry skin this exfoliant works well without irritating or stripping the skin. Most physical exfoliants leave my face feeling very tight. I have been using it every second day for about a week so far to clear skin congestion and can see fewer blackheads around my t-zone and my skin generally feels much smoother. It smells delicious and leaves the skin feeling invigorated but not irritated, even though it is a 'scrub'. Love this one!
By Melanie This cleansing and refining duo enriched with micro-fine cinnamon particles is a fantastic product suitable for all skin types. While I normally shy away from physical exfoliators I found this to be so gentle and so effective I couldn't resist the urge to continue using it. I am relieved to admit that it doesn't exacerbate my sensitive skin either, in fact it actually offers a calming relief to red, irritated skin. With an elevating natural cinnamon fragrance, that lifts my spirits with every use, it also proves wonders for my skin when it looks dull and tired. It has considerably improved the reduction of blackheads around my nose by clearing out any build-up and congestion from deep in my pores. It sloughs away any dead, dulling surface cells keeping my skin looking alive while feeling fresh, smooth and soft to touch, which imparts an all over healthy glow to my complexion.
By Julia I'm really impressed with this exfoliating cleanser. I use it every 2nd day, & have found it not harsh at all, & doesn't overstimulate my already oily skin. In fact it has refined my skin quite nicely, that my mineral makeup sits nicely on smooth skin. I also love the fresh cinnamony scent this has.
By Amanda I thought this would be too harsh but for my skin but it is amazing. I can feel it working into my pores and it certainly does its job.
By kate I really like this exfoliant. It has a cinnamony smell and a stimulating effect on the skin. At the same time it seems quite gentle and doesn't irritate the skin.
