I purchased this brush because I have really sensitive skin. It gets flaky because of all the products I have to use in my skin care regimen. I needed something to help with the really dry spots, and I couldn't have made a better choice. I can use this brush everytime I wash my face and it doesn't irritate my skin. When I use it, my pores seem to disappear, my foundation is completely cleansed off my face, and my skin is so soft! I have never been able to use exfoliants because they are too harsh on my skin, but this brush does the trick, and it's cost is amazing!!! I definitely reccommend everyone to buy and use this exfoliating brush!
