My skin can be sensitive to certain ingredients, but for some reason I have never had a problem with the strength of this product (and I have been using it for a couple of years now).
Don't get me wrong- I really liked Exfolikate Gentle, but when my testers were finished it was clear that I preferred the effects of the stronger formulation. However, if you find it unpleasant or uncomfortable that is a good indication that the formula is too active for your skin. This definitely tingles and you may find that your face becomes a bit red after use, but that usually subsides after a few minutes. I have tried both and prefer the strength of Exfolikate.
For those with sensitive skin try Exfolikate Gentle instead- you will find it far kinder and less irritating. If you have very sensitive skin then this is likely to be too strong, if not irritating, for you. I like to apply mine in the shower about 2 times a week to keep my skin in tip top shape. It is like getting a super effective 30 second facial. Kate Somerville's Exfolikate is a seriously powerful exfoliating treatment, it is so effective (and potent) that you only need to leave it on your face for 30 seconds and voilà your skin is smooth and bright, and your pores are deeply cleaned.
