 BEWARE--COMPLETE formula change--SAME UPC--SAME NAMEOct 23, 2007
By BAM
BEWARE! The formula for this product has been completely changed and it is VERY abrasive and harsh on your skin. My skin is very sensitive and this new formula damages my skin.
I contacted the company and was told that the formula had been changed to remove paraben. Well, that isn't the only thing that has changed--The two labels are as different as night and day. The company didn't bother to change the UPC or the NAME of the product to identify the complete change to this new product. VERY DECEPTIVE MARKETING!
I wish the formula change was as simple as only removing the paraben. That was the reason given for the change in the form letter I received from the company.
I have used the original gentle gel exfoliating scrub for years and it has been a specialty item among my grooming supplies. I would go a long way out of my way to find it and I didn't settle for another brand. It worked for my sensitive skin.
The new formula has the consistancy of a thick gritty toothpaste. Ouch!
I am returning this new scrub.
To be fair...
So that you can compare for yourself, this is the ingredient list from the container of the original formula:
Certified organic lavender hydrosol (lavandula officinalis),
certified organic aloe barbadensis,
multi-fruit enzymes,
silica,
powdered corn meal (zea mays),
certified organic extracts of chamomile (chamomilla recutita),
echinacea (echinacea purpurea),
ginko biloba,
green tea (camellia sinensis) and
lavender (lavandula officinalis),
organic sea kelp extract (laminaria digitata),
methyl/propylparaben, and
pure essential oils.
This is the ingredient list for the NEW product:
Organic Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender),
Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) And
Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extracts (Aqueous),
Organic Arnica Montana Extract,
Juglans Regia (Walnut) Powder,
Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil),

Bromelain,
Papain,
Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Oil,
Steareth-2,
Ethylhexylglycerin,

Please note that the ingredient lists above are supposedly for the SAME product--SAME product name and SAME UPC! The original product was AWESOME! The new one stinks--save your money--this product is in the same class as the Apricot Scrub at the Dollar store .

 Great for daily useMay 19, 2011

I have purchased several different exfoliating products, and overall this is my favorite. It isn't too pasty or harsh. Although it doesn't seem to scrub off as much dead skin as I'd like, it does clean well and wash away clear. I can use it several times a week without my skin drying out, and instead it feels quite soft. It doesn't take a lot of this to wash your face, so it seems to last longer than other similar products.

 Excellent exfoliant!Jul 06, 2009
By kitty lai

I have purchased over 6 brands of exfoliants (including $50+ tube of Kiehl's and the cheap over the counter Apricot Scrub) and this Avalon scrub is the best. I use it every other day to exfoliate and my skin feels soft and looks bright and vibrant. What sets this scrub above all is the right amount of abrasive and there is no reside left once you rinse. In fact, my skin is left squeaky clean. I don't know what the old formula is like but I love this one and I hope they never change it. I will use it for life. BTW, it smells great!
