L'Oréal Paris Sugar Scrubs Nourishing Face Scrub Review

I originally bought this scrub after trying the kiwifruit variety for blackheads, but found that that one dried my skin out a little too much. This one is designed to exfoliate and hydrate so this sounded perfect for what I was after. This scrub smells like you could eat it, and as it happens, you almost can, because you can use it as a lip scrub! I loved this product as a lip scrub, I found that my lips (often dry and flaky in winter) felt smooth and hydrated. The scrub feels lovely on my skin, it is grainy and exfoliating, but then smooth and hydrating when water is added. I found my skin felt smooth and glowing after using this scrub. It also left my skin feeling hydrated. I would definitely buy this one again. It works great in combo with the kiwifruit one (I use that one on my nose for blackheads).

I have wanted to try this scrub ever since it came up for trial on Beauty Review. I found it in the supermarket and purchased it so I could give it a try. The scrub comes in a luminous rosy brown box. The scrub itself comes in a 50ml glass jar, with a rosy brown lid that matches the box. The scrub inside is brown, and it smells very nice, like cocoa. It is made with cocoa butter, coconut oil, and cocoa grains as key ingredients.

The instructions say to apply the scrub with dry hands to a dry face. You can also use it on your lips. I found the scrub easy to scoop out and apply. Once you put warm water on your face, the scrub starts to melt, and then you can rinse it off.

I really like this scrub. It left my skin feeling smooth, but also very soft and moisturised. It was great on my lips too, which have been feeling very dry over winter.

I definitely recommend this scrub for people with dry skin.

I had the pleasure of trying this Loreal Paris sugar scrub as part of a Black Box I received recently (I have silver membership). The smell is fab, it has a a rich chocolatey smell, and the colour is dark chocolatey too. The texture on my face felt really nice, just gently exfoliating and slightly grainy (the texture of sugar), and before I even massaged the warm water on to my face, the formula was starting to melt into my skin. It was very easy to wash off as well - I wiped it gently off with warm water and a flannel, and I didn’t need to go to too much effort to get it off. Straight afterwards, my skin appeared more luminous - and that was only after one use (!), so this product definitely lives up to its claims and does what it says it can do. My skin also felt smoother and softer immediately afterwards - ‘baby-soft’ indeed! I reckon this face scrub makes for a nice, pampering, pick-me-up for the skin in winter - particularly if your skin is feeling a little dry, as mine was at that particular point in time. I’d use this product again.

I received this as a gift and until then i had never even seen it around. As soon as i opened it i could instantly smell it , it smelt divine. The scrub looked very solid to me and that might be because it was such a cold day? It was very easy to use and felt so nice to rub into my skin. I like using this before i do my makeup so i have a smooth base ready beforehand. I don't have any nice scrubs like this one so i do love using it.

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!!

L’Oréal is a brand I’ve used and loved many items in the past, so I was very exciting to be part of trialing the new range of sugar scrubs.

I really like the style of the container, dark brown with a different colored top- simple and sleek. Although I accidentally dropped it and part of the packaging broke.

My skin can be rather dry and uneven, so this scrub was a welcome for my skin.

The smell is lovely, quite subtle but smelling of cocoa. The texture is good - the granules just fine enough to be comfortable, but still do a good job of exfoliating my face. My skin can be rather sensitive, but this was gentle and no problems at all.

My skin did feel good and this scrub seemed to improve the texture, as there weren’t so many dry patches. My skin feels moisturized and soft after using this. It’s a really great scrub and it’s quickly become part of my skincare routine.

I haven't used any L'Oreal skincare for a while but decided to splurge when I was given some gift vouchers. I have dryish mature skin so selected the nourishing one as I didn't want it to strip all my essential skin oil. I have always found scrubs easiest to use in the shower after cleansing, and this one was a good example of that. A solid screw lid means it can't squeeze out like a tube and I had more control over how much I used. I have found the key to using scrubs is to not rub hard and this one was no different. Using my fingertips I applied several blobs to my face and massaged them in. I always find the area around my nose difficult so did that last. The product didn't sting my skin or leave it red like many scrubs have in the past but I felt it was still quite a hard texture. It left my skin lovely and soft after rinsing off though. It didn't strip my skin either so that was really pleasing.

I've used this for a week every other day, at the beginning I loved it but few uses it I noticed my skin got abit "raw" perhaps I over used it so have now taken a break. I love it for a lip scrub, I actually use it daily as a lip scrub at the end of the night before brushing my teeth, my lips have never been better. On the night I used the scrub as a face exfoliate I took my makeup off as usual, pat it dry and put a few pea size blobs on my face, rub it in and add abit of water and carry on exfoliating, it left a nice moisture layer on my skin. The scent is delicious and can definitely smell the cacao in there. The packaging is on point and the glass L'Oréal jar makes it super classy and elegant on the bathroom shelf, away from my 19 month old daughter. Over all the product is wonderful and worth the price, a little bit goes a long way and you get good use out of one jar.
