4 out of 5 stars Recommended by my doctor to prevent acne on body   September 5, 2006

I'm not an acne-covered teenager, but, as a 30+ woman, I was tired of occasional breakouts on my face and back.

My doctor recommended this particular product because you can (and should) replace the sponge head periodically, thus reducing bacteria to re-infect oneself and lead to pimples. She told me to use it with an anti-bacterial body wash.

It works just fine as a back scrubber. This would not be appropriate for very sensitive skin as it is an exfoliant type brush--similar to a loofah or those round body scrubbers that always come bundled with body wash gift packs.

When you've tossed the old sponge to replace it, you are left with a stick covered with little pointy barbs. That's what the new sponge will stick to. Changing it isn't hard, but, occasionally, a washcloth or other item near the brush will catch on a barb that doesn't get full covered by your new sponge. This isn't a big issue, but it could snag something. Be careful with that problem, and you should enjoy this brush.

I've had my handle for about 2 years now. It is sturdy. I've been through many, many sponge heads. They are tricky to find at my local grocery and pharmacy, so Amazon availability is really great for me.



5 out of 5 stars I've used Buf-Puf sponges for 20+ years ...   March 5, 2008

...and it has paid off. I'm 59 years old now and still get compliments on my skin. I began using the Buf-Puf facial sponge daily around 1982. After a few months, I took an out of town trip and left the sponge at home. My skin continued to exfoliate on it own without the sponge! That to me was positive poof of the exfoliating properties of this sponge. I've been using it daily since and I don't leave town without it. When I discovered the Buf-Puf body sponge, I began using that, too. I find much younger women listening attentively when I tell them about my simple skin care regimen which consists only of daily Buf-Puf use with regular soap and inexpensive skin lotion from the grocer. You don't need astringents, expensive lotions, chemical exfoliants, or masques. And my great skin is not hereditary (my five younger sisters choose to not use the sponge and don't have my skin). Buf-Puf doesn't get all the credit, though. Healthy eating (plenty of veggies with a moderate amount of meat protein and fat) and not smoking help. But I probably still wouldn't have as great skin at this age without exfoliation.

You can use the rougher side (the color side) of the Buf-Puf bath sponge to keep your elbows and knees silky smooth (it works). I used to wish the Buf-Puf sponges were less expensive and in the early years I tried less expensive store brands. The less expensive sponges are not only difficult to find on a consistent basis, they're not as effective and don't last as long. I now realize that $10 or $12 a month for great skin is not expensive (I use both a facial and a bath sponge for an entire month and switch out to new ones at the beginning of each month). Other skin care regimens would cost more (masques, astringents, chemical exfoliants, etc.). Not only do you get the great skin, you don't have to take extra steps for it (as with masques, astringents, and chemical exfoliants). By the way, I use the Buf-Puf sponges (one facial, one body) INSTEAD OF bath cloths, not in addition to bath cloths.

If you're using a Buf-Puf sponge for the first time, don't scrub hard. Your skin will need a few days or so to get use to the abrasion. And as it does, you'll unconsciously increase the pressure. Your skin may feel a little sensitive at first (a lot if you scrub hard), but it will acclimate.

Also, this sponge is available without the handle. It's easier to use without the handle and I rarely do, and even then only to get to the unreachable part of my back.

Finally, it's never too late to begin exfoliating. So, if you're older and want to improve your skin, it's not too late to begin exfoliating and removing dead skin cells to reveal the smooth new cells underneath.

This is one of the best products I have ever used. I have been using this type product for many years and was having difficulty finding them, but thanks to this web site I have been able to stock up on this back scrubber. This is a great product.

Years ago I used this product and loved it, but when my last one wore out, I wasn't able to find them in stores anymore. I thought that they had gone out of business. I'm so happy that they still exist. This back scrubber is lightweight and easy to use, not like a loofa, which is hard-as-a-rock. Your skin feels invigorated after using it and it is easy to rinse as well. I bought several, just in case...


4 out of 5 stars Buf-Puf back scrub is better than AOK   May 12, 2008

This item puts the Buff Puff where we need it. Take note, however that the handle on our prior units have broken at the handles joint 100% of the time due to the aggressive pressure we use when scrubbing our backs - that is why we purchased the four pack!
