L'Oréal Paris Sugar Scrubs Nourishing Face Scrub Review

My skin has been crying out for some extra nourishment, but it took using this product to realise it.

Like most L'Oreal products, this came in a beautifully packaged box. Just the colours of warm chocolate and gold suggested I was in for a bit of pampering goodness. At first, when I pulled the jar out, I was a little disappointed as it is very plain and didn't have the instructions on the back as I'm used to, then noticed after a day that they ARE actually there, hidden away under a clever peel-away sticker which seals back once you've finished reading. Love that. I also grew to love the look of the plain jar in my shower. It is clean and the large type makes it quick to recognize. The flat lid is great for stacking in my beauty cupboard too, so great for storing if you're not going to keep it in the shower.

You apply the product to a dry face and with dry hands, then add warm water to fingertips to 'melt' the grains of sugar and rub gently. This wasn't so much fun over the sink, as water ran down my arms, so the next couple of times I used it in the shower. The scent is divine! Chocolate butter....mmmm. It's also recommended to use on your lips, which is fabulous. I highly recommend doing this. My lippie has never looked as good as it has this week! Once I washed it off with warm water, I was surprised at how moisturised my skin felt. I hadn't tested not applying moisturiser afterwards as I fear my skin drying out and going patchy, but it certainly felt like you could get away without moisturising afterwards. I might be brave and try this on the weekend.

All in all, I really adored this product, and with the RRP being so reasonable, this will be a staple in my cupboards.

Firstly I would Love to pin point how amazing this product is to use. It is so versitile to use and easy to follow instructions. I have never heard of a sugar scrub before so I was very much interested in getting stuck into trialling this product. My skin is drys out with most scrubs so I'm very particular when it comes to using certain brands. I absolutely love the cocoa buttery scent and think that the texture is so easy to apply. I used this 3x in one week and was amazed with the results. My skin looked healthier with a beautiful tan glow and purely natural. I will definitely keep my eye on this product as a must have

I received this product to trial in exchange for a review.

The jar is very simple looking, there's not much to say there. The product looks like chocolate mousse and smells delicious. Mmmmm!

Also the lid is secure enough for you to store the jar in your shower without worry that water will leak inside. Since the product doubles as a lip scrub that's one less item you have to store, space efficient!

My skin type is dry, and this product left my skin feeling more soft, nourished and moisturized than it has ever felt. I have to actively stop myself from touching my face just to feel how great it is.

When I run out of this jar I will certainly buy another, I have finally found "my" scrub that works perfect for me.

Thanks to BR yet again for putting me on such an exciting trial! When BR first put up a post about these scrubs my initial thought was OMG I NEED THOSE!! Of course I've heard (but not used) of sugar scrubs for your body but not before for your face. And being L'Oreal it was kind of a big deal.

The product comes in a heavy duty glass jar with a secure tight screw on lid - anything that comes in a glass jar gets my tick of approval. The product is light brown which reminds me of a mixture of chocolate ice-cream and chocolate mousse. It feels fluffy with a bit of texture to the touch. However once on your face I ultimately know my face is getting the exfoliation fix I need. It feels great on my skin, as I said I get a good scrub, and at the same time the product moisturises my skin and leaves it feeling so soft. I wouldn't say the scent is to die for but it certainly smells great.

The packaging states the product is suitable for your face and lips but I kinda went overboard and tried it on my hands, knees and elbows and it worked a treat.

Would I buy it? Heck yes! My dry skin loves this sugar scrub!

L’Oreal Paris Nourishing Sugar Scrub is thick and creamy in texture, with 3 sugars which are described as “fine” but I found to be hardy enough to get to work on my very dry, flaky and sensitive skin. To apply you simply scoop it out of the pretty, simple jar, and gently apply to clean, dry skin as you would with any other scrub - one concern with this is the hygiene factor, but if your hands are clean and dry before application, this should be *too* much of an issue! Then add a little warm water to melt the sugars before rinsing off.

It is lightly frangranced (I personally felt it smelled a little like cheapish Shea Butter); but the smell doesn’t linger for long.

It comes in quite a small jar, and I felt as though it wouldn’t last awfully long given the amount you need to apply to get a good coverage of product, however it left my skin feeling so smooth, buffed away all flakiness and didn’t irritate my skin at all that I would definitely purchase this again.

What I truly loved about this product is that it wasn’t super harsh but the sugars weren’t so fine that they didn’t actually do anything. After two weeks of using the product, my skin is smooth and dewy and feels super hydrated - I just wish they’d make a bigger size!

After a week of camping, this scrub made me happy with my skin again.

When I read the article about a face sugar scrub I was blown away. It's something I'd never thought about even though using other kinds of face scrub is normal. And I was even happier to see that there were options for people with sensitive skin (yay, it's for me too!).

Starting off with the packaging, I do like the pottle. It means there is no never quite getting all your product out of a tube (especially hard when it comes to scrubs). It looks quite chic and is a different shape to my other face products so is easy to find without my glasses on.

But onto the important part: the product. From the moment I opened it, this scrub smelt divine! It was very tempting to take a bite. But don't do that, because you don't want to miss out on what this does for your skin. The sugar was surprisingly fine and there was a nice amount of cocoa butter to help it move and melt on my face. I did have to use more than I usually would for my normal cleansing face scrub, but there is enough product in the pottle for me to be happy using more, I know it'll last a while. According to the directions you are supposed to gently massage the scrub until the sugars dissolve - this I didn't do on all parts of my face, as I found on my more dry/sensitive spots a shorter time was more comfortable. But a warm face cloth was enough to finish that off. And I guess that's one of the great things about this scrub, you can play with the amount you scrub according to your skin's needs.

After drying off my face I was so impressed, I honestly couldn't stop stroking my own face. (I also got the hubby to feel!) And what's even better is that this has been a lasting improvement. So definitely a huge thumbs up for me!!

Beautifully brown and gold box with a plastic corner window arrived – with a great container that matched the name of the product.

The container was really easy to open – even when in the shower, and sealed perfectly to go in my travel bag without wondering if it was going to leak. I loved the fine crystal buttery cream that is really easy spreadable over my face and lips. It melted onto my skin when using little circle movements.

It gently buffed away grime and stickiness from my face and dry lips, while definitely moisturizing at the same time – my skin is very dull at present caused by the 9 hour day spend in a air-conditioned office. The product has a bit of a cocoa butter and coffee smell, not overwhelming, which I really liked.

Little bit of a wake up remedy when used n the morning, which all of us need. You don’t need to use much of the product and a little bit of a scoop motion with my fingers from the wide mouth container really went a long way.

Lately I have stopped wearing makeup to work – just to give my face a bit of a rest during this hot humid days we have been experiencing – and found that days after using the product it felt as if it had softened and smoothed my skin. The longer I have been using it – only a week in and I definitaly feel my skin be softer and more subtle. It is a really esy way to nourish my skin without having to spend hours, which I don’t have, to look after my skin.

I think the scrub has done exactly what it claims to do – it very gently exfoliated and clean my skin while leaving it soft moisturized and left me with a unique facial cleansing experience. Definitely worth spending the money - pretty sure it will last more than a month using 3 times a week and very easy affordable.

so please to get picked to review this, i have very sensitive skin so have been trying products to find ones that work for me, and this one did, i was pleasantly surprised! upon receiving in the mail, i opened it right away, took a sniff (as you do) and well i wasn't a huge fan of the smell, its wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. i picked a time at night to do it just in case i had a reaction (sensitive skin) rubbing it on was a little harder than i thought it would be, it was a little thicker, and less smooth than i was expecting, but didn't have an issues spreading it around. but i was thinking that it was going to take ages to get the sugar to melt as per the instructions. so its rubbed on my face, running the tap for warm water, get that on my hands and start rubbing in circles (as per the instructions) and dam, the sugar melted quiet quick, only took a total of maybe 3 mins to rub it around. then wipe it off with a warm cloth. easy as! after i had some reservations, my skin was a bit sensitive to touch, bit tight, but that didn't last long, and my face felt amazing for a few days after doing it! so soft. will be happy to use this again and again!

Initially I thought rubbing an abrasive sugar solution on dry skin might be a bit harsh. Despite this, the product went on easily and was simple to apply with dry fingers over my face. I then added warm water and massaged my face and the rinsed with warm water. From the first time I used it, I noticed that my face felt softer and smoother. A bonus was that it could be used on lips at the same time as an exfoliant and I was pleased with these results too. The scrub is a milky chocolate brown colour and has quite a pleasant strong cocoa/chocolate smell. The smell doesn't linger long after the product is washed off. There's 50ml in the square glass jar with plastic top and this will last ages. The jar itself is fairly plain with the name on the front and a few symbols on the back label. The cardboard pack that it came in is quite detailed and informative about the sugars, cocoa butter, coconut oil and cocoa grains. I think it is worth the $19.99 price and would buy it again. My face is smoother and looks healthier with a more even surface and colour.

I was really excited to try the L'Oréal Paris Sugar Scrubs Nourishing Face Scrub that promises baby soft skin with the help of three sugars and cocoa butter. I really like the packaging, the squarish shape of the container, and the packaging size. The product itself is quite thick in texture and initially I was unsure how much to use. For application, it recommends to mix with water, but I found it easier to apply to my face first with slightly wet hand, and then add a small amount of water when spreading it, which works quote well in shower. The sugar resolves relatively fast (depending on how much water you use), and the smell is very pleasant. I found it reasonably hard to remove after application. Even you wash it off, it still feels like there is some left on your skin. It definitely has a smoothing, softening effect, and skin looks more even and radiant after a few applications. I think using it every second day is maybe a bit of an overkill, I would consider usage twice a week.
