I was pleasantly surprised that the granules in this sugar scrub were very fine. I had pictured large chunks of coarse sugar and wasn’t sure how my face would cope, but this was very fine sugar, similar to caster sugar.
The felt gentle on my face and neck, yet still like it was doing the job. When I rinsed the product away I was pleased to feel how smooth my skin was. I also felt like my make up looked better on my skin as it had a smoother surface to go on to.
The smell could be better. I am used to a sweet smelling caramel face scrub and this was a little citrus like, but not unpleasant.
Overall I really liked this product and would purchase it again when I run out. The product is reasonably priced I think being a drugstore brand, but you also need little product so it would last a long time.
I am so cautious about using sugar scrubs on my face as they can be quite harsh and cause minute scratches to your skin. L'Oreal always do pretty good products so I leaped at the chance to trial this one! First off, the packaging is quite nice, it's a lot plainer than what I would expect from this brand but I really like that. The container is glass with plastic lid. The product itself looks exactly as you would expect, finely ground sugar in a brown suspension. It smells yummy and sweet, it's thick enough to hold its shape on your finger and along with its oily consistency, has the ability to spread easily on your skin. I applied it to my chin, forehead and cheeks. I avoided the orbital area for obvious reasons. I rubbed in light circular movements all over and then let it sit for a few minutes. I then applied some water to my fingertips and exfoliated a wee bit longer. After I removed it all, my skin texture felt soft, fresh and smooth. I am totally rapt and will be popping this on my regular skincare list. I have used this several times now and like how my skin seems to have a fresher tone to it.
Tips: Avoid the eye area. Do not over exfoliate Follow with a soothing mask
