MAC Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator Review

MAC Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator Review

Hi, everyone! Today I'll be reviewing MAC's Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator. This product does actually contain volcanic ash, which I think is actually pretty cool. I believe that's what makes this product black/grey. Anyway, let's get down to it: This exfoliator is the BEST exfoliator/scrub I have ever tried. I used to use the St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub(the one without salicylic acid), and that was my favorite scrub, until I tried this. I was given a sample at the MAC counter at my local Macy's, and I wasn't really expecting much. It didn't look too scrubby (is that a technical term?), which is the biggest complaint I have when trying scrubs. They're never scrubby enough. This MAC exfoliator is extremely scrubby and has very fine particles that dissolve after about 30 seconds if your skin is too wet, else they dissolve after about a minute. It definitely does a great job at removing dead skin cells. I noticed a difference the very first time I used it, and never went back to my St. Ives. I ran out and purchased the full size right away. That's how much I loved it. This a really great product for dry skin. It really helps out with the flakes. Sensitive skin might not like it because it is a little harsh feeling as you scrub, but like I said, the scrubbing particles dissolve pretty quickly. Overall, I highly recommend this product. I will definitely be repurchasing this. 

$28 at MAC stores/counters/website. Well worth the price because 1. it's an amazing product and 2. it will last a really long time. A little goes a long way with this. This sample jar I received lasted me about 3 weeks using it every other day.
