My Review
First of all, exfoliates can dramatically improve your skin, and your skin is well worth it!
The point of exfoliating your skin is to slough off dead skin cells and deep clean pores. You will instantly revive your skin. It will glow and improve the color and texture.
I like to exfoliate 3 times a week, this way I can keep my skin radiant and new.
Exfoliates can also be great when wanting to treat wrinkles and acne. The gentle abrasion of the beads or roughage in the product will break away oils dirt and layered dry skin.
It is a must have product to keep skin healthy. Cell renewal is amplified and new skin production is hard at work. LOVE IT!
Odacite has created a great jojoba bead exfoliate. This product has many advantages over many other exfoliates.
As you may know Jojoba oil is excellent for the skin. I love using it because my skin doesn’t feel striped and dry.
The oils and fresh ingredients nourish the skin. You experience a hydrated, “well oiled”, smoothness.
This is a gentle exfoliate, the jojoba beads really help remove debris, while not completely stripping the skin. I love to use it in the shower. I only use a small amount, and it goes a long way.
I use circular motions and really focus on my trouble areas, the nooks and crannies of my nose and all down my neck. Its lovely!
My skin doesn’t feel itchy or irritated. I can feel the oils nourish my skin.
You will want to know that this exfoliate will leave your skin feeling smooth and supple after the oils have absorbed, so do not feel concerned that their is an oily consistency to it. I actually love it. I know my skin is being replenished as I pull away all the unwanted debris.
About the Product
Scent and Texture
A fresh scent, not over powering, but so lovely.
The texture is oil based with small beads, not what you might expect from an exfoliate.
Most exfoliates are rough and abrasive. I think the idea of odacites jojoba bead exfoliate was to get the job done without depleting the skin of all that makes it healthy.
I don’t think I will go back to some of the heavy “scraping” products I have used in the past. Your skin is not depleted after a great shedding.
Application
A little goes a long way. Excellent consistency, smooth with nice little beads. It does feel like it leaves a residue for a few minutes, but it is quickly absorbed leaving the skin supple.

About the ingredients
Jojoba Oil– This wonderful ingredient is actually a liquid wax ester, although it acts like an oil. It has many benefits and is considered to be the closest liquid to our own natural sebum produced by the skin.
This makes it great for absorption and suitable for all skin types.
Jojoba oil provides lasting hydration. Loaded with essential fatty acids, this oil will help heal and nourish the skin.
Lavender- Odacite has a great reputation for using pure essential oils in their products.
Lavender is a natural anti-bacterial oil, it can dramatically improve flare ups and acne caused by bacteria. Lavender can be used on sensitive skin to calm and reduce redness.
Lavender is considered one of the most versatile and safe oils out their. Lets not forget how wonderful it smells!
Odacite has a wonderful combo serum with Jojoba and lavender for hydration and clogged pores. Be sure to read our review.

Who is this product for?
Odacite considere this product for: Fabulous for Sensitive, Mature, Dry, Normal, Combination.
Jojoba oil will not clog your pores, but coconut oil is considered fairly high on the comedogenic scale.
I personally would not recommend this product for acne prone skin; although some acne prone skin types have found success with breakouts; this could be due to using a very gentle exfoliate.
Harsh abrasion can contribute to breakouts, so a soft exfoliate might be the key. Just understand that coconut oil is a little heavy.
It is going to work best for dry to normal skin types. I have fairly normal to dry skin and have found my skin is well nourished with no sensitive reactions.
How well does it work?
I am very happy with this fresh and highly active exfoliate. I can feel that my skin has shed to a deep layer, while restoring any lost nutrients.
Jojoba beads are soft and gentle beads. They do not have harsh edges. This will prevent micro lacerations that some more abrasive ingredients can.
What are Other People Saying?
There seems to be a happy bunch of peeps loving this exfoliate! Its gentle and effective.
Final Thoughts
Keeping in mind this is not going to feel like most other exfoliates you have tried. It is non abrasive. It works in a more subtle way.
If you are looking for a product that feels like it is scratching away debris, you will not get it with this.
I feel like this is the new and improved way to exfoliate. Gentle and nourishing. Not stripping and scraping.
Pros:
- Does not scratch or leave micro lacerations.
- Restores the skins nutrients.
- Replenishes and renews cell growth.
- Skin is supple and oh so soft!
Cons:
- Leaves an oily feeling, but is quickly absorbed.
- Not recommended for acne skin.
My Rating:
9/10 I would give it a 10 out of 10 if it didn’t contain pore clogging ingredients (coconut oil).
