One of my friends got me this product, but I was abit disappointed. Yes it's completely affordable and is the more affordable version of the Sh'zen Skin Stimulator. Howeve I've noticed that the sponge didn't last that long, even though that it was rough enough and helped smooth skin, it lasted me two - three months and broke down in pieces, I'm not sure how much exactly it was, but it was a bright yellow sponge.
