I love using a natural exfoliant on my face and body, and this washcloth does the trick. It does feel really rough, so be gentle when using it on the face, but my face feels amazing after using it. Don't expect a super soft washcloth, this is a natural piece of fabric that hasn't been refined, which is exactly what it's supposed to be, hence the name RAW in the title. You will not be disappointed in how well this works!
