I'm so glad this came in a YBF sampler, because I would never have thought to try it otherwise. I have sensitive, thin skin that's very prone to irritation and inflammation, and as a result I avoid anything remotely abrasive. But since I love the other YBF products so much, I gave Prep a try, and was soon using it every day. Amazingly it's given me NO irritation. On the contrary, it leaves my skin smooth and plump. I've had no problem with breakouts since I started using it (which is a small miracle in itself), and old red discolorations are fading to the point where I don't have to wear makeup. Keep running those YBF promotions, TIA. Every time you do, I become addicted to another great product.

I was just searching the site because I had run out of this wonderful product, decided I would write a review. I am a scrub addict, there I said it. I have been in search of the perfect one thought I found it in the last kit by Marta. But having tried YBF Prep I know now this is the one. I have large pores around my nose that I am so self conscious of and this minimized them with the first use I could not believe it. By the time I finished the jar not only did my skin look really great but pores are practically no more. I hope this helps someone looking for a fantastic scrub and I agree with Marta use on neck and chest area also you will be pleased with the results. Now I must order order more!

I absolutely love the reformulated Prep. It seems to be a little bit creamier than the original Prep which my combination skin is appreciating this winter. With the old Prep, I used it as a scrub twice a week and once a week as a mask. With the added peptides in the reformulated Prep, I've been leaving it on as a mask 3 times a week so not to waste the benefits of any of them. Unlike other masks, Prep serves as an exfoliant first (apply in a circular motion on wet skin) and washes off easily. The original formula is a great product. The reformulated Prep is PERFECTION!

I find Prep to be so versatile. Great of course as a microdermabrasion scrub but I like to use it in combination with other products or ingredients too.
I add some Tilvee mask powder or some yogurt or other DIY ingredient. My favorite is to put LaVie Celeste facial cleaner on and then add a smidge of Prep to the nose, mouth, forehead, neck, or whatever area needs a bit extra but not a full scrub. Skin feels very clean but also soft and glowy.

I would first like to start by saying how balanced this facial scrub is. The particles are fine enough so they do not tear the epidermis. Also I noticed, In the morning when I was in a rush, I could take a cloth with water and it would come right off. Other facial scrubs will not easily come off unless you were in the shower. This one comes right off so it kind of makes you want to use it as part of your regimen.
My skin felt extremely clean and I felt a little more confident that all my make-up was removed unlike other products. In addition, my skin glowed.
Everything was perfect about this product except one thing: I had trouble opening and closing the lid of the jar. Other than that I definitely will be purchasing this again. I found the consistency to be balanced and my skin loved it.

Prep has a creamy consistency with the most ultra fine crystals imaginable that left my skin feeling polished. Instead of red and irritated, my skin felt smooth and refreshed. I appreciate that it also serves dual roles as exfoliant and mask. Quick and easy, you simply lightly massage a small amount onto damp skin and rinse or you can leave on for a few minutes as a mask. I used this at night three times a week as a mask to reap the maximum benefit. What I had left on my fingertips I used to give the back of my hands a treatment also. The product rinses easily, completely and a little bit goes a long way. The range of benefits listed on their website include: brightens skin, smoothes & refines, reduces wrinkles & inflammation, balances skin, discourages future blemishes. I found after a couple of uses it also eliminated a few tiny blackheads that were beginning to form on my forehead.

I have been using Prep for about a month and I am very pleased with results. I am 34 years old and have oily/combination skin. My trouble areas include enlarged pores, post-acne marks, light hyperpigmentation, and emerging fine lines around my eyes and my nose.
I have used Prep 3 times a week primarily as a mask. It significantly decreased scarring on my face, blemishes, smoothed out a few small hyperpigmentation marks, and evened out the entire complexion. It’s a powerful product when it comes to tackling blackheads. I found that it was easier to apply my makeup afterwards.
As YBF founders warn, “Prep is not necessarily suited for the most sensitive skin types, but works amazingly well for those with normal to sensitive skin.”
It did not significantly decrease my lines. The product gets washed off after all, but right after use, my face did look tighter and a bit more supple.
It retails for $80 / 1.7 oz (50 ml) but a little goes a long way. It is a very generous jar, indeed.

I have been using the Your Best Face Prep ($80 in the TIA shop) for a month and I have to say I am very pleased with the results so far. I have used other exfoliates, but none have been as fine as Prep. My face feels absolutely smooth as a baby's bottom. I have extremely sensitive skin and also use the Clarisonic facial brush. On the days I use the Prep I lay off the Clarisonic. If I use both, my face is a bit red for a while and it can cause too much irritation.
I went for a facial two weeks ago and my esthtitician told me to keep using Prep in conjunction with the other products I use. I love the rather unique fragrance it has. It smells like a spa in a jar. A little goes a long way and for me using it 2x a week is enough.
I will definitely keep Prep in my keep drawer. My other products go on so easy and it doesn't seem like you need as much of the serums and moisturizers. That means they go a lot farther and saves money in the long run while making your face look younger and smoother.

This is still the gold standard and the real workhorse in the YBF line. Great results, and really not expensive given that a very little goes a very long way.

I love this product!!! It is well worth the money.
