Zia Natural Skincare Ultimate Exfoliant

Pros: It works, it feels good, it works, it smells nice, it works!
Cons: It is expensive!

While I am not a person who wants to or actually thinks it is possible to look “young” forever – I am someone who wants to look her best no matter where I am or what I am doing. I also think that a huge part of looking your best is taking care of...

Pros: exfoliates nicely without having to scrub, doesn’t cause breakouts, cruelty-free, pretty packaging
Cons: ~

Zia’s Ultimate Exfoliant is truly one of my favorite exfoliators I have yet to try. It doesn’t require actual scrubbing of the skin, which is why I love it.

Most traditional exfoliants contain small granules of almond, apricot, oats,...

Pros: Gentle exfoliating scrub
Cons: Somewhat pricey (but that bottle will last a long time)

I love facial scrubs! When I use them once or twice a week, my skin looks and feels beautiful. My favorite scrub, Philosophy's Deeply Superficial was discontinued, so I needed to find something new.


I read some raves about the Zia...

Pros: nice scent and packaging, wonderful natural ingredients
Cons: Price, effectiveness- it didn't do anything for me!

I purchased a bottle of Zia Natural Skincare Ultimate Exfoliant last summer along with a complete Zia skincare regimen.

Zia Ultimate Exfoliant was one of the products I tried, and only recently used up. It has a slight citrus scent, and...

Pros: Gentle for most skin types, quick and easy to use, effective!
Cons: The glass container gets hard to hold onto in the shower or tub.

At the age of 47, perimenopausal, and entering my mid life metamorphosis, I am trying to fight the war on aging skin with whatever weapons are available. I admit I am gullible, and will try most any product that says it will keep me young and...

Pros: Smells nice, don't use much at a time, leaves skin smooth
Cons: Expensive, no percentage of AHA is listed on the label

This chemical exfoliant is a thin, green gel. It smells nice and fruity, and you only need a small amount for your whole face. You apply it to wet skin, wait a few minutes, then rinse it off. In the couple minutes that it's on, it leaves my skin...

Pros: Natural ingredients
Cons: Didn't feel like it was exfoliating

I used the Zia Ultimate Exfoliant for the first time last week and I was not that impressed. When I exfoliate, I want to feel like I am getting the dead skin cells off of my skin, and with the ultimate exfoliant, it is a very smooth gel that just goes on...

Pros: It works for me!!  quick to use, smells nice.
Cons: None

I've been using this product every other day for about 1.5 weeks, and I'm seeing a huge improvement so far.

I'm 38 with generally good skin, but I've had a persistent acne problem that I've been fighting my whole life.  No severe breakouts - just consistent redness & bumps on my face (I know, sounds like rosacea... for all I know it might be). 

In the past year or two, I started to notice that Zia's pumpkin mask (combined with a Zia rep's advice to NEVER scrub my face) seemed to help.  Lately the pumpkin mask has been impossible to come by.  So I tried this Ultimate Exfoliant instead.

I think I may like it even better than the pumpkin mask.  It's quicker to use, so I'm apt to use it more consistently.  No stinging or irritation (which is true of Zia's other exfoliants, but often NOT true of exfoliants).  And the best part is that my face is significantly clearer this week than last.
