The consistency and appearance of this product is somewhat like pumpkin pie, but once you get past that, it's really the perfect exfoliator. Not too grainy - not too creamy. It also doesn't leave little beads up your nose and in your ears, only to be discovered hours later, like other products might.
Instead of using this AFTER washing your face, you might want to consider using it before. I found it to leave a slight oily film that was uncomfortable-feeling but invisible. Using it before normal cleansing eliminates the problem.
My skin is oily but tends to dry out easily.
