Lovley

The Aesop Purifying Facial Exfoliant Paste is amazing! The fine quartz and clay combo gives a deep yet gentle cleanse, leaving my skin soft, polished, and radiant. I love the natural, herbal scent and how refreshed my face feels after each use—pure spa-like perfection at home!

fingers crossed

I am buying this product for a friend as a gift. I used it in the past and I can trust Aesop's with all their range using the best ingredients. So yes, I am a fan and a loyal customer, I hope my friend like this. the only thing I'm not sure about is the tube it comes in I'd prefer a pump personally.

Very nice, not indispensable

This exfoliant paste is solid. It’s got a gritty texture thanks to the fine quartz, but balanced with lactic acid so it doesn’t leave skin feeling raw. After rinsing, skin feels smooth and clean without tension. It’s nice for a once-a-week treat, though it’s a bit pricey and intense for daily use. If you don’t mind something with that physical scrubby feel, it’s a good one to keep around.

The best exfoliant 😍

Aesop’s Purifying Facial Exfoliant Paste is, hands down, the best scrub I’ve ever used—and my husband is just as obsessed. The texture strikes the perfect balance: fine enough to polish the skin gently, yet effective enough to leave it feeling incredibly smooth and refreshed. The scent is earthy and invigorating, turning exfoliation into a small ritual rather than a chore. It rinses away cleanly without leaving any tightness, just soft, radiant skin. We both notice how much brighter and healthier our complexions look after using it. A true standout in skincare—effective, luxurious, and something we now always keep on hand.

Mixed thoughts

In theory I do love this, I love a very vigorous physical exfoliant as the results are instant! However this feels VERY sharp and rough for facial skin and I eventually took to using it on my body instead. I’d therefore recommend it as a body exfoliant!

Abrasive exfoliation

I have oily skin, I was unsure what to expect from this product but I have been impressed! It provides an abrasive exfoliation on the skin, so I only use this once per week. My skin feels amazing after using this product - so clean and smooth to touch! Love it! Would recommend.

So painful

I adore Aesop’s body care range, so I was excited to try their skincare samples. As someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin, I rely on mild exfoliants a few times a week to keep congestion at bay. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not checking the ingredient list before using this product - and I wish I had. This exfoliant contains quartz particles, which felt incredibly harsh and abrasive on my skin. I was shocked at how painful the experience was! On top of that, it combines both chemical and physical exfoliants, a risky combination that can seriously compromise the skin barrier - especially for those with sensitivity. For me, this was an absolute nightmare of a product. If your skin is even remotely sensitive, I strongly advise against it. I would never recommend this to anyone looking for a gentle exfoliation. A huge miss from Aesop.
