'You can feel the dead skin coming off' — this gross-but-satisfying face scrub is just $18

Don't you hate that grimy feeling your face gets after a hectic day at work or running errands for hours on end? Makeup removers and cleansers can only remove so much. And besides, sometimes you have to see results to believe them. Case in point: This liquid exfoliator, which sloughs away dead skin so well, you can literally see it on your face.

This gentle-yet-powerful exfoliant is excellent for dull skin looking for a bit of a pick-me-up. It's even safe for sensitive skin!

It's not a gimmick, either: The Nuria Defend Gentle Exfoliator doesn't use microbeads or other rough ingredients to eradicate dead skin. Instead, it utilizes a powerful combination of ginkgo, lactic acid and glycerin. The ginkgo works to unclog your pores and lift away dirt, oil and other impurities. Fruit-derived lactic acid sloughs away dead skin to reveal the brightness underneath while glycerin leaves your skin looking (and feeling) soft.

It's so easy to use, too: After you wet your face, apply a dollop on your hands and gently massage onto your skin. Once you see the dead skin pill up on your face, just rinse it off and follow with the rest of your skincare routine. No need to use it every day, either: Just two to three times a week will do. One tube will last you months!

Another bonus: The formula is totally cruelty-free, vegan and clean.

"I LOVE this stuff," shared a thrilled shopper. "It was recommended to me by a friend in the beauty care industry that I trust and I'm so happy I tried it. You can feel your dead skin coming off as soon as you rub it in and I had zero irritation, just super soft and clean skin!"

"I am IN LOVE with this stuff," a nurse noted. "It gently exfoliates without being too harsh, washes off easily and my skin feels great... I have cystic acne, as well as being a nurse so I wear masks ALL THE TIME and this exfoliator is so good for my skin. It leaves my face feeling fresh, clean, soft and smooth. My makeup goes on much smoother and lasts longer!"

Even women with sensitive skin swear by it. Shared one: "Never thought I could use an exfoliator of any kind. I have VERY sensitive skin. I am in my sixties and have developed severe acne, and the acne products I'm using don't seem to really clean my face or work well. Finally, after too many years of avoiding exfoliating products, I gave this a try. It's so gentle and really helps with removing all the junk from my face."
