The product has a texture similar to a foamy toothpaste. It even has a fresh minty fragrance to go with it. There are very fine particles of volcanic pumice giving it a gritty texture. The best part about the product is its texture - it is uniform. I use a lot of scrubs and exfoliators and in many products you will find gritty particles of different sizes and sometimes unevenly distributed. This one has a consistent texture and the particles are evenly distributed ensuring every part of the face is well exfoliated. The Peppermint extract gives a cool and fresh feeling.
