Etude House Baking Soda Scrub

My acne has been out of control for the past couple of months and its finally settling down. I've been toiling away trying to find a remedy for it while hitting rock bottom of my concealer trying to cover them up. I heard that Etude House's Baking Soda Scrub would help, since I've heard whisperings around the Internet that this stuff is magic. I didn't want a full size because, well I have a lot of scrubs and didn't want one if it didn't work. Luckily I won the sample lottery when buying from Etude House because I managed to get a small sized sample of this.

It is a crunch pore scrub... a crunchy pore scrub.. I don't know why they would put the crunch in there. The smell is light but has a little hint of citrus but didn't bother me. This scrub came out a wet white mixture, but when rubbed into the skin, it quickly went dry making it hard to spread around my face.

If you look closely you can see the baking soda crystals in there. It was a bit harsh, but if you want a good scrubbing, its not bad. But here's the part that would stop me from repurchasing this. After washing my face, my skin felt like it had a thin film of oil on top. For a girl with really oily skin like mine, this was a no no. I always had to rewash my face with a cleanser, when I normally don't do that after using other scrubs.

Unfortunately, this is ok, but not something I would repurchase. Luckily I only got a sample of this and didn't buy a full tub.

Sorry if the review seems a bit off. I'm still trying to get back into doing this again and hopefully do better next time.
