Whuff, personally I had some really bad experience with exfoliating brushes, so I really, REALLY would not recommend these. then again, my skin is quite sensitive. My go-to method is a very gentle peeling from the Bodyshop (Vitamin E facial peeling cream), and that also only once a week...

As already said, I really love the Kneipp products, but of course have no way to compare to the miracles of SK... I would love to try these, but you are right, the prices online are completely insane >_>

Looking forward to hear about your experiences with the oil-based cleaner! My colleague currently does not use ANY beauty products, but only olive oil (oil cleansing method). She is very happy with it. I tried it and might not have had the necessary patience for my skin to adapt (much tension in the skin due to not using moisturizer).
