Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Exfoliating Daily Facial Scrub, Gentle with Moisture-Rich Soy Extract, Helps Improve Skin Tone & Texture, Oil- & Soap-Free, Hypoallergenic, 5 oz

I’ve been using this Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Scrub every morning and rotating with the Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash at night, and honestly, it holds its own. That’s saying a lot considering the price difference. This isn’t one of those harsh scrubs that feels like sandpaper pretending to be skincare. The grit is ultra-fine, almost creamy, and it spreads evenly without feeling abrasive. But don’t let the gentleness fool you, it still effectively buffs away texture and leaves your skin feeling clean, smooth, and soft. No tightness or over-drying after rinsing. The soy extract angle sounds gimmicky, but my skin actually does look more even-toned and awake after using this consistently in the mornings. If you’re dealing with dullness or that slightly rough morning texture, this genuinely helps reset your face. It also plays well under moisturizer and SPF without pilling or residue. It’s oil-free, soap-free, and hypoallergenic, which matters if you’ve got sensitive or acne-prone skin. No irritation, no breakouts, no fake “glow” from stripped skin. Just solid performance. Also comes with an ample amount; Red Bull can for comparison. Compared to Philosophy: • Philosophy has slightly more polish to it in terms of texture and finish, but not by much. • Aveeno gets bonus points for being way more affordable and just as effective for daily use. • The packaging is simple and functional, and it’s compact enough for travel. Bottom line: If you want a no-BS, reliable, budget-friendly exfoliator that feels like a premium product, this is it. It’s gentle enough for daily use, but still gets the job done. I’ll definitely keep this in my rotation.

Really great scrub. I've been using it end of day after removing makeup. It's exfoliating, lathers well, and doesn't leave skin dry. My skin looks better the next day! Will buy again.

This face wash is great !! The texture is smooth enough for daily use and leaves skin feeling clean and soft, not stripped. It helps even out dull areas and improves skin tone over time. A reliable option if you want mild exfoliation and a subtle glow.

This stuff is a really great cleanser/exfoliation product. Smells great, very gentle and effective.

Really nice gentle exfoliator. It doesn't leave your skin feeling bone dry once you rinse and dry your face. Makes your face feel nice, smooth and clean. Will be repurchasing.

Very gentle exfoliant. Just a dab is enough to clean my face. My face feels clean and skin looks healthy. Second time ordering this product a d will continue to use.

The scent of this face scrub is absolutely amazing—fresh, clean, and something I actually look forward to using. However, as far as exfoliation goes, it falls a bit short. It feels more like a regular face wash base with a few exfoliating particles sprinkled in rather than a true scrub. My skin feels clean afterward, but I don’t get that deeper polished feeling I usually expect from an exfoliator. Great as a daily cleanser, but if you’re looking for real exfoliation, this may not be the one.

Smells good. Foams well. Cleans great. Feels fresh
