Has anyone used both the 100 Grit and 120 Grit? Which one is better for face? Which one is better for a body scrub?

I also recently discovered that the grit of these crystals feels just like the Kiehl's photo-age corrector facial scrub I purchased awhile back - these crystals mixed with my general face cleaner works just as well as the Kiehl's ($22 for a 3.4 oz tube).

I only have the 100 grit and use it on my face, I didn't even think about adding it in with my body wash, though - great idea!

Unfortunately, the Grit number was not identified anywhere on the container that I received. I ordered 100 Grit so I'm assuming that's what I received. 100 Grit is finer than White Granulated Sugar. It's not very coarse. I hope that helps.

to me these grits are to powdery, its okay for the face mixing aloe vera gel or a soap, but for a great microdermabrasion scrub I bought medical crystals.com which grit is much better to me especially for the body

I purchased both and there was no discernible difference between the two. Also, if you are looking for a way to make a less expensive facial scrub, then don't bother because the crystals are so fine that you barely notice them. The particle size is nearly as fine as popcorn salt, which may be fine for the intended use, but not for my money saving experiment gone wrong.

I just recently got into straight razor shaving so thanks for asking.Not entirely. The arkansas stone is only around 1,200 grit give or take so it would only be useful for setting a bevel on a dull razor. You'll want higher grits. The most common grits are 4,000 to sharpen, 8,000 to polish, and 10,000 to finish. The Arkansas stone should only be used if you're working with a very dull, aged razor. Give this post a read and hopefully it will help.http://straightrazorplace.com/srpwiki/index.php/Beginner%27s_Guide_to_HoningGood Luck and shave on!

The foam head is used with the crystal polisher. It has the feel of a makeup sponge and attaches to the machine. I really don't use them that often. I prefer the brush head and I use this with the polisher as well. The crystal polisher (exfoliating cleaner) is good. My face does feel smoother after cleaning). I think using exfoliating system a few time a week is good - or when your face feels flakey, etc.

Mine is 06/2015. What do you take this for? I was hoping for a liquid capsule to mix with a moisturizer for my face... now I just use it as a facial scrub because it's really gritty.

It depends on whether you have sensitive skin or not. The rice grains are not that fine, and when I use it I feel like I still need to wash my face with something else. You have to wet it into a paste and scrub in circular motion. As far as being an exfoliant it works and it feels good on the skin. Personally I think there are better exfoliators out there, I tried the Tata Harper (too pricey) and thought it was great. But for the price this is a good product and lasts a very long time.

I'm not at home to check the grit but they are pretty fine; however, it is important that you do not put too much pressure when you are using them. I've used a little too much pressure and have actually removed the skin causing scabs to occur. Once I learned the proper pressure to use, they work great leaving your skin feeling renewed.

I recommend the 100 grit and 150 grit as the paper wears easy, I use 100 grit to sand edges of seams and when it wears down run the center of the seams that you have drywall finished. you want to let the machine do all the work with little pressure, keep the head moving as to not get swirles in the seems, 150 is ok but after a room with cielings and walls you are pretty much just buffing, you can tell by the slight shine on the seems, time to change paper.

I always use the scrubby , then wipe off well twice and then dry with a paper towel and it shines. Takes a little more elbow work, but it shines!!

The pumice is for the feet and really rough elbows and knees. The large brush is for the body. The other two bruises are for the face: the soft sensitive skin brush, and a the medium brush for less sensitive facial skin.

Sorry, I just saw this question but I see there are 3 previous answers. I'll answer anyway. The large brush is a body brush since this item is waterproof & can be taken into the shower. The 2 smaller brushes are for the face. One is soft & the other medium. I assume you know what the pumice stone is for since you didn't ask. My regards.

I bought both because I too was curious. I do not see any noticeable or significant differences in the feel or results of the face versus body versions. I've used them both on both my face and body, and it feels and looks the same. I love this stuff, by the way. My skin is way softer after using this than any other exfoliaters I've used before. Hope this helps!

I don't find any difference. I did find that using just a gloved hand to 'scrub' the pot or pan works better than a sponge or dish rag. You can feel any food residue that's left, or rather feel the pot/pan smooth right out. Sounds weird, I know, but it works. Don't use the cleanser or polish on any mirrored (shiny) surfaces as it seems to leave tiny scratches... I use the polish/cleanser on the inside & usually the bottom, if needed. I wash the rest with dish soap (it's also a good idea after you rise the polish or cleanser out that you do a light 'wash' with dish soap to make sure you get all the gritty residue from the polish or cleanser off the inside of the pot/pan. Also, before washing, wet the pot/pan enough so that you can make a paste with the polish or cleanser. Spread it around & let it sit for a few minutes as that seems to break down the food residue much easier.

No, this package is six 6000 grit bands, but the 6000 is really fine. It is the honing band for this system. It feels like a piece of cloth after the first use. I used the 6000 to restore a near mirror polish on a "display case queen" speed axe head. I recommend you try the 6000, and if you need a finer hone than it gives, you then go to a good leather strop and finish by hand. I haven't needed to. http://www.worksharptools.com/knife/sharpeners/abrasives.html

I never noticed a grittiness to the product for the moisturizer. In fact I found it quite the opposite...rather smooth and easily applied. I am still using the product and find it great for everyday usage after almost a year. If you noticed a grittiness to the product I would call their customer support. They are fantastic there to answer any questions. Good luck.

I received a free sample of Clinique "face scrub exfoliant visage" "skin supplies for men" and it works just as well as Pernox. I haven't bought a tube yet so I don't know the cost. It is just as gritty as Pernox.
