Works as a very mild exfoilant

Pros: Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Enlarged Pores, Sensitive Skin

Age: 35-44

Skin Type: Combination

Bottom Line: recommended

This product does not seem as potent as other payaya exfoilating agents. While it does seem to slough dry, dead skin cells, it is not as effective as other alpha-hydroxy products which I have used such as ones made by Juice beauty or Philosophy. This product seems well suited for sensitive skin, but I feel results with the other mentioned products have been superior.

Expected better!

Cons: Bad Smell, No real improvement

Bottom Line: not recommended

I could buy something much cheaper that would make a bigger difference with my skin.

This stuff rocks!

Pros: Goes On Smoothly, Not Greasy, Softens Skin

Best Uses: Exfoliation

Bottom Line: recommended

Gently exfoliates my super sensitive skin. I have tried almost EVERYTHING. This is not a scrub, but a gentle exfoliator. I actually have seen a reduction in melasma patches , fine lines and am starting to get that "dewy" look. I am in my late 30s and my skin was starting to look really dull. I use it in the morning after washing my face and afterward apply the vitamin c serum- which is also wonderful. The Zia products really work!

Great Product

I like this product ...

I like this product because it is gentle and non-irritating, unlike some harsh scrubs. I prefer enzymatic exfoliation to mechanical scrubs anyway. I use it about 3 times a week, and before I apply masks to allow for better penetration. It's also great for removing any makeup your cleanser doesn't dissolve. The jar lasts forever.

I really do like this ...

I really do like this product. My skin is really hard to deal with because it usually is really dry and flaky, but gets really oily a couple of hours after I wash my face. This product definitely takes care of the dry and flaky part, which makes my skin a little better to deal with. I gave it four stars because I've used it for two weeks and haven't noticed any changed in the pores on my face, but maybe I need to give it a little bit more time. I use it every other day, and so far I think I can now skip the facials, which can save a lot of money.

I love that this product ...

I love that this product is natural, great for my skin and really works. I have been using it several times a week, and follow it with a purifying mask then an antioxidant serum. I have definitely noticed a positive change. Like others have said, I remoisten it and leave it a few minutes longer than the directions indicate (they say 2-3, but I've found 5 or so works well). I also agree that a little goes a long way, so this one bottle should last me quite a while. Great product!

I am a dark-skinned Black woman and this product has worked wonders for my skin. I continue to get compliments for having a radiant glow and for having smooth skin (w/this healthier look I barely notice my blemishes). I have minor blemishes and combined w/philosophy's 'pigment of my imagination' to lighten dark spots my skin has done a 180. I use Zia every other day; it does dry within seconds and even though the bottle says to keep it on 1-2 minutes, all I do is re-wet (as previous posts mentioned) and keep it on for at least 5 minutes. Also, as much as I use it every other day the bottle is hardly used up. A little (two pumps) goes a very long way. I highly recommend for women of color who want to have a brighter, healthier glow.

Gently massage a small amount onto clean, damp shin. Allow to remain for one to two minutes, then rinse well with warm water. For accelerated exfoliation, follow with fresh papaya enzyme or citrus night time reversal.
