Help with physical exfoliating wash...

Hi, I’m new here and I can definitely use your advice. I’m looking for a physical exfoliating face scrub that can be used twice a week and isn’t too harsh. I’d prefer a physical scrub over a chemical exfoliate because I’d like to be able to control pressure and length of washing depending on the condition of my skin that day. Also, I’d prefer to exfoliate 2-3 times a week because I like the idea of letting my skin rest a little. I’ve purchased two face scrubs and I don’t like either. One was Neutrogena Razor Defense Face Scrub. The exfoliating particles in this product are virtually non existent. I realized after my purchase that this scrub is meant for daily use. Then I purchased St Ive’s Apricot Scrub with crushed walnut. This wash is so abrasive that barely gliding my fingers across my face feels too harsh. After researching it seems like most manufacturers either want me to use an ineffective product everyday (mantra: consume, consume, consume) or turn my face into Swiss cheese. Can anyone recommend a medium and balanced exfoliating wash? Preferably a relatively inexpensive one (Ideally less than $15 for 4-6 ounces)? Thanks guys!

I'm looking to invest in a new Exfoliating cleanser. My concern is more for sloughing off dead skin cells to help improve skin tone and perhaps reduce the appearance of scars. Preferably something that isn't loaded with a bunch of extra "junk". As minimal, yet effective as possible. $ is not an issue here. I used to use MD Forte's Cleanser, but they've been discontinued.

Is this a thinly veiled spam attempt?..
