Billy JealousyLiquid Sand Exfoliating Facial Cleanser 997 Ml

I feel like I've been duped. Having nothing to to with Amazon, I received a free sample-size of this product and fell in love -- it was GREAT! What I most liked about the SAMPLE bottle of Billy Jealousy LIquidSand Exfoliating Facial Cleanser was that it used silica as the "sand" ingredient to exfoliate. You know… silica. The stuff that sand is actually made out of. I've tried LOTS of exfoliating cleansers and this was the first one that I actually loved, because the silica made it amazing.(Using silica is perfect! It gives just the right amount and texture of "grit" in the product to gently exfoliate without being harsh. And, as a HUGE added bonus, silica isn't screwing up our lakes, rivers, and oceans like polyethylene beads -- a common exfoliation ingredient in facial cleansers that is coming under increasing scrutiny for its down-stream environmental effects.)Imagine my surprise and disappointment, then, when I received this FULL-SIZE bottle of Billy Jealousy LIquidSand Exfoliating Facial Cleanser and saw that it doesn't use silica -- it uses polyethylene, just like everyone else. And it makes the product worse. It's now actually less effective than many other (cheaper) facial cleansers out there using polyethylene.I specifically bought this product because the samples that Billy Jealousy gives away use silica. I bought it for the silica, but all I got was lousy polyethylene instead.I'll never buy their products again.

This is a 5 star exfoliating facial cleanser, which I had to order (and return) 3 times before before I recieved one with a pump that I was able to epoxy back together and make it functional. It stands to reason why the price was more than 50% less than retail, but I expect better quality control and/or packaging from Amazon. Seems to me it should be sold as an Amazon Warehouse product. Again, this is a fabulous exfoliating facial cleanser and the 2 Star rating reflects the 3 times I had to order before I received one with a functional pump.

Love this stuff. They finally put the sand back in rather than the weird plastic that was used for some time. Smells great, isn't harsh, polishes facial skin perfectly (for a dude, anyway) and washes off quickly and without residue. It's nice and thick, so it won't run off of your hands when just deposited. I keep the big bottle at home and use a Toob to carry small amounts for travel.

I've worn a beard for 18 years during which time it went from a deep brown to silver grey. Fun fact: grey hair is much coarser than brown hair causing my wife to tell me that kissing me was like kissing a broom. The result: I shaved my beard and my skin was ANGRY. I haven't had that much acne since junior high school. My wife suggested an exfoliating cleanser and - like any real man - looked for a bulk product. So I ended up with Billy Jealousy and love it. My face is almost back to normal - although I still feel somewhat naked.

Absolute best exfoliating scrub on the market, hands down. Very dense volume of very tiny exfoliating particulates. Truly has the consistency of very fine wet sand. Amazing! No noticeable odor or perfumes.
