Nothing clears up the backnes, buttnes and boobnes faster than this potion. The grains are nice and hefty and really do the job, and honestly after each wash I feel so much smoother. This is in no way a moisturizer, and even the oiliest gals need a moisturizer after this medicated scrub, but it foams, it cleans in a jiffy and it gets me in control.
In emergency situations I've used it on my face too (my skin is TOUGH!) and it's pretty good for ingrowns and KP (nothing sees a difference quite like my back though).

Good to know. I had a big problem with this when I was a kid and now my poor son struggles with the same thing. I will check this one out.
Oh, by the way, I'm Michelle from The Scented Life, too. I forgot to change my sign in on here. :D
Hi Michelle,
Absolutely check it out. If your son finds it too drying,I suggest lotioning up BEFORE washing.
BTW, off the top of your head, anyplace I can find the full Serge Lutens line in Canada?
I love this stuff too. PS added you to the blog roll
