Kate’s bestselling exfoliator is formulated with face scrubbing natural exfoliants to deep clean clogged pores without over-drying skin.

I opened up the box and was so surprised that the ExfoliKate was green! I also loved the natural herbal smell. Tip- a little goes a long way with this product a dime amount seems perfect.
I applied the product all over my face and started rubbing in circular motions when I immediately noticed a tingling sensation around my nose and where my bigger pores are. My goal was to leave it on for a minute, but I ended up rinsing it off after 30 seconds. I thought it was a good thing that it was tingling in the areas where my skin needed some help.
When I washed it off, I was super surprised with the results! My skin was glowing, my blackheads were smaller, it seemed to soften the appearance of my pores, and my skin was soft. Afterward, I gently patted my skin and used my regular moisturizer.
Even this morning my skin felt super soft to the touch and was still glowing! I wore a little foundation today because my skin already seemed to be in top shape. I also noticed my skin is less oily today which is a huge plus for me.
I know it is a bit expensive but if you can/are willing to take the plunge for this product do it! You won’t regret it. I can’t wait to try this product again!
