- Face Buff Energizing Scrub, Exfoliating Mens Face Wash

For years I used a very inexpensive Pacific Shaving Company Bamboo Pre-Shave Scrub - Exfoliating Face Scrub & Cleanser. It had great exfoliating properties, but several years ago they seemingly changed the composition, and it is now meh! I upgraded and recently tried Jack Black Face Buff Energizing Scrub despite I never paid this much for a pre-shave cream. Great exfoliant and skin softener, so my shaving experience improved much, and applying a small amount once and waiting for a few minutes is sufficient. I know a convert! Encouraged by these results, before I ran out of this scrub, I also bought Kiehl's Facial Fuel Exfoliating Face Scrub because of high reviews but overlooked that it costs 40% more per ounce than the excellent Jack Black Face Buff Energizing Scrub that I already used. I then did a non-scientific but as much fair as possible side-by-side comparison. I treated one half of my stubble with Kiehl's Facial Fuel Exfoliating Face Scrub, and the other half with Jack Black Face Buff Energizing Scrub (applying similarly small amounts), waited for 2 min and washed them off, trying not to cross-mix. I noticed the following differences: Jack Black Face Buff had much stronger exfoliating effectiveness, causing a satisfying sensation of "sand" on my fingers. I think this means that dead skin on my face started to peel off. Kiehl's Facial Fuel didn't cause such sensation, but that half of my face felt more lathery, so this formulation excels in superior softening effect on old skin and stubble. I then applied a few drops of Shave Secret Shaving Oil to my hand, rubbed in my lower face (and didn't use shaving cream) and proceeded to shave myself with Schick Hydro 5 Sense Hydrate Razor. I really didn't notice a difference! A close cut for both sides with no skin damage. My conclusion is Jack Black Face Buff Energizing Scrub wins on being more affordable (although by no means cheap) while completing the job done!

So.......First understand I am married to a woman that sells cosmetics for a living! The deals I can get on ALL the high end products are ridiculous. Yes, even with the "deals" to be honest, they are still a bit more expensive than the Jack Black product mentioned here. I have, because of my wife, a bit of an OCD issue with my skin and my skin care routine and certainly my shaving routine. I use a plethora of products, to say the least. It asks for a photo in the review, take a look, it's embarrassing!! it is what it is! I will focus on this product only for now...I'll get to the others at another time. Now, this may or may not be how the Jack Black company intended this to be used, but how I use it, works for me. I first wash my face with a simple neutrogena face wash. I follow up with the Jack Black Face Scrub (JBFS) as I will refer to it as, then apply the Jack Black Beard lube on top of that...WITHOUT rinsing off the JBFS, then I put shaving cream on top of that. So yes! crazy, but now I have essentially 3 layers of "products" on my face before I shave. I completely shave my face and then mix the JBFS with a mild face wash to wash off any residue. The JBFS really softens up my "beard" or facial hair and makes the shave as smooth as silk and my face unbelievably smooth when all is said and done. Oh, and I do all this in the shower with a fogless mirror, which I shall review as well. Once out of the shower I run an electric shaver all over my face getting any stragglers that maybe I missed with the blade. I then follow up with a facial toner and eye cream, face cream etc......all this I will get to, or feel free to ask. I have tried a lot!! I assure you...A lot! I come back to the JBFS over and over and over. Now, that being said, I am OCD and in no way recommending you follow my routine, what I am recommending is the JBFS to really clean you face extremely well, clean out those pores and keep your face feeling smooth and sexy. (HAHAHA). I can't recommend it enough. The smell, the "granniness" of the product is perfect, not too fine, not too thick....Try it, I'd be curious if you are having the same feelings after using it...I'll review some of the other products I use at a later time. Thank you for reading and I hope I have been of some help. Best Always.

I originally got the mini size in a Jack Black set for my husband for Christmas last year since he’s a fan of the brand. One day I noticed the face scrub in the shower and decided to give it a try. Big mistake. I got instantly hooked. The smell is so fresh and spa-like and the scrub feels amazing on the skin. It’s invigorating without being too harsh and leaves your face feeling smooth and awake. I immediately bought us a bigger tube and now we keep it stocked in the shower to share. Honestly one of the few products that we both genuinely love and use. If you’re looking for a scrub that feels luxe and delivers clean refreshed skin this one’s a winner.

Great product. Hands down the best facial buff out there. The service in delivering this product was outstanding. Was fast and delivered right to my hands and the young man delivering my package had great customer service which is hard to find now a days. Two thumbs up and a big thank you.

Just follow the manufacturer’s simple instructions and you too will be happy. Wish I had some stock in the company. It’s that good.

Very course, I think it’s meant to be used if you have a beard or are starting to grow one out. The scent is worth it, and I wish I had a cologne of it. Nice to use in the morning, especially with the menthol. NOT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN!!!

I have tried all the major brands and even some of the smaller know companies. I keep coming back to Jack Black. A little more expensive but worth it. Definitely leaves skin feeling refreshed while being applied and after rinsing off. Worth a try if you haven’t tried it.

Jack Black Face Buff Energizing Scrub is a game-changer for my skincare routine. The exfoliating beads are gentle but effective, leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. It works perfectly as a pre-shave scrub, helping to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs. The energizing formula gives a nice, clean feel, and the scent is fresh without being overpowering. This scrub is a must-have for anyone looking to up their grooming game. It also makes an excellent gift for any guy who wants to take better care of his skin! 🧴💪

My review was taken off but I ll repeat again since I have been using Jack Black for many years this stuff really made me sad …

Smells amazing and great quality. Thank you

Excellent exfoliant. Very refreshing.

Certainly too course for everyday use & the grains are also somewhat sparse. Packaging, scent & texture all good.
