L'Oréal Paris Sugar Scrubs Purifying Face Scrub Review

My face is so smooth, I can not stop touching it! I had no idea how much of a state my skin was in before I used this, it has by far out-performed my other facial scrub, so goodbye old, hellooo new.

I love the packaging of the sugar scrub, a heftily weighted, yet compact size, square glass jar, quite a good design I feel, as its easy to remove the lid in the shower with wet hands. Nice to see the glorious pop of green in the jar, it just looks fresh!

I could smell the purifying scrub before I pulled off the protector cap, I love the smell, it is more kiwifruit and lemongrassed based, with a hint of peppermint, ooohh yum. This is the sort of gel that reminds me of jam, it does not slip off your fingers and fall off in a big gob on the shower floor, and the sugar distribution is spot on, all the goodness is not in the bottom of the jar. OK now the real surprise, I read on the pack this heats as you use it, really?!? That was a total surprise, usually clay based masks heat, I have not heard of a scrub with that feature before. I started off with a small amount on my fingers, then applied to my face, as I scrubbed, I felt the heat, it was a soothing, heat, not unpleasant at all, actually it was quite nice, so I used more, I got some slightly in my mouth, not gonna lie it didn't taste bad, but no I do not recommend you eat it!

I didn't feel the need to moisturize after using this, and as well as having super soft skin, my nose does feel less oilier than it would, and with continued use, I hope to banish by blackhead -prone -nose -skin, and to clear up my hormonal breakouts. I love this scrub, the sugar melted away and there was no oily after feel, and no slipping in the shower, awesome!

I was skeptical at how gentle this scrub would be on my face. I generally reserve using sugar scrubs to my body only, but I was pleasantly surprised at the consistency and texture of this. It doesn't have large sugar particles (it blends brown, blonde, and white sugars) and also has kiwi seeds in it which aren't rough at all. It starts to warm as you apply it which is super lovely and calming. I feel like I'm really treating myself when when I apply it. I apply it all over and let it sit for a bit, and then before I rinse it off I'll really work it into my problem areas. I think the beat part of this scrub is that you can use it on your lips too! It leaves your skin feeling so soft, whilst not stripping all your oils away. I'm going to have to try the two other scrubs available (the glow scrub and the nourishing scrub).

I have to say I wasn't prepared with how warm this would feel straight away but it was actually quite plesant. I absolutely loved how my skin felt after using this!

It's rough enough that you actually feel like it's doing its job but soft enough and dissolves quickly so you don't feel like you're scrubbing your face off.

The box that it comes in is super cute and nice and informative. Not so sure about the plastic lid, mine broke (definitely my fault!) but it's definitely not a deal breaker.

I will absolutely be buying this again.

Let me start by saying, I have extremely oily skin that becomes somewhat combination in the winter. On top of that, I develop surface dry patches specially on the sides of my nose if I use products that are typically made for oily skin. So I was a bit skeptical about using this at first. Cuz I have bad previous experiences with similar products.

However, it ended up becoming one of my most favourite scrubs. The first time I used it, I freaked out for 10 seconds thinking I am having a allergic reaction to the scrub cuz it made my face and neck all warm. It fades away soon leaving the skin wanting the feeling to continue. This blew my mind and kind of made me addicted to this scrub to be honest. It also made me curious about the science behind this product and now I am itching to get my hands on the other 2 scrubs in this range. =)

I do not have any blackheads or white heads so I do not know whether this scrub will clear them. However, this scrub makes the skin less oily and very smooth. Usually scrubs/facewashes made for oily skin makes my skin feel very tight and dry afterwards. This didn't do that and didn't feel harsh on the skin at all.

To test thoroughly, I used this on my skin everyday for 7 days and the skin only got better. Since the sugar particles are teeny tiny, the skin only feel a slight scrubbing sensation even though it cleans the skin completely. I even use it on my lips. This is a gentle scrub that does what it says exactly. It is a bit expensive for a drug store scrub, but don't be afraid to jump in and buy it cuz it will not be a waste of your money. :D

I enjoyed this product! Comes in a wee glass jar (very small though) with a plastic entrance guard and a screw top lid. The scent is sugary (duh) and mixture is bright green with a small amount of kiwi seeds scattered throughout...I don’t really get the point of them haha! I noticed some black heads on my nose before use and made a pact with myself that I wouldn’t pop them until trial week was over so see if this scrub is as good as it claims to be. The first time I used it, my face was somewhat dry and it was a great time because it was literally like rubbing sand on my face WHICH I LOVE. 2 days later I tried it in the shower...the sugar melted almost instantly. Poos. Overall, the next couple of dry uses didn’t completely erase all my blackheads but I did notice they had dramatically diminished after a couple of uses. So 101/10 from me!

As soon as I opened the packaging I could smell the lovely fragrance of the scrub. It's great you only need to use a small amount for each application and only need to do it three times a week. It's very easy to use as you can just rub it on prior to having a shower and then wash it off. When I first put it on I could instantly feel the peppermint oil soothing my skin. Once you start rubbing you can feel the kiwiseeds exfoliating your skin and after the first use I was surprised at how soft my skin felt. As I have continued to use the scrub I have noticed there are less blackheads on my nose. The only negative for me would be the price as I find $19.99 a bit expensive for one beauty product. Although, if I happened to have extra money I would definitely buy more.

I received this product for review from BR (Thanks guys)..

Visually this product really stands out for me, a bright tropical green colored substance in a solid square glass jar, packaged in a metallic gold box.. Beautiful!

Looking at he product unopened I definitely expected it to smell amazing, and of course it does! As expected it's a sweet kiwi fruity scent.

I got a real surprise the first time that I applied the scrub, it warms and it's very noticeable. Something is mentioned about this on the box, but I hadn't been expecting so much heat, it's not burny or unpleasant at all though..

This is a gentle scrub, it doesn't take long to work the sugar grains down, dissolving into a thin shiny coatng.

After washing off my skin is soft and smooth, and after about a week and a half of every daybuse, my pores do appear smaller in my opinion.

I've really enjoyed using this product, it's extremely pleasant, gentle but powerful, and I think reasonably priced.

I would recommend this one to anyone and might purchase myself some time.

It feels a bit sticky and thick when you first put it on but as you start to massage it in and the sugars melt the stickiness goes and the consistency becomes light. It massages in really easily and the kiwifruit gives it a yummy smell which makes it smell good enough to eat. A little goes a long way so start with a small amount and add more if necessary, one tub should last awhile which makes it pretty good value for money. I think the packaging looks good and is very descriptive of the product. I also love that the product comes in a glass jar. I did find the cover under the lid a little but fiddly but if you're not taking the jar anywhere you could dispose of the inside cover and just use the jar lid. Now to the actual product - I LOVE IT!!! After using it just once the blackheads on my nose already looked smaller and less defined and my whole face felt super soft. My blackheads are improving each time I use it and my skin stays soft between uses too. I would DEFINITELY recommend this to a friend. In fact I've already given it to my teen to use on his blackheads and mild acne and after just one use his blackheads are smaller, his pimples are less red and his skin overall looks brighter.

This exfoliant seriously is one of the best I have ever tried. I am 35 and do suffer from hormonal acne/congestion, so I have always been a fan of resurfacing my skin to minimise congestion. First impressions is the jar is very elegant looking yet earthy. The product itself is a thick green slightly sticky consistency, which I actually love. The kiwifruit seeds are evident but not Overbearing. On first application I took a small scoop with 2 fingers which seemed to be enough, and moved it around my face gently. The product literally warmed to my skin which I quite liked. I like that you can press the product hard or softly into your skin for a different effect. I like to press firmly around my nose, chin and forehead as this is where I find my congestion at its greatest. OMG afterwards, this can easily be removed with your fingers or a flannel - and my skin felt so amazingly smooth! Best ever! My make up applied perfectly the next morning, so I am now using this 3x per week and would definitely repurchase

I've used sugar scrubs on my body before, but never on my face - so I was very curious to see how the L'Oreal Sugar Scrub would feel.

First of all, the packaging is elegant - a square, clear glass tub with a bronze/gold lid.

The product itself smells delicious. Sugary sweet with the freshness of kiwifruit.

On applying I had a moment of panic. Despite reading that it would heat up I wasn't prepared for how warm it would get and I nearly washed it off. I'm glad I didn't though as it quickly settled. I then applied warm water with my fingertips and began scrubbing my face. I love feeling the sugar crystals dissolve. What I love more is the result. My skin feels super smooth and it does look clearer. Despite its mattifying effect, my skin does not feel dry, which makes me love this more. This scrub also feels lovely on the lips... and actually, it tastes good too - though you're not meant to eat it, some slipped in while scrubbing and I wasn't displeased.

I will continue to use this, and I'm keen to purchase the nourishing scrub for winter when my skin tends to become drier. A fantastic product, totally recommend.
