Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub Review

This scrub is an excellent exfoliant - it has a nice thick consistency and the "bits" (walnut shell rather than plastic micro beads) are not too small so it gets in there and does a good job; but also not too big that it damages your skin. It doesn't dry out my skin but leaves my skin feeling clean.

It is a really good rival for my previous favourite exfoliating scrub (St Ives Apricot Scrub). It is also a bonus that Skinfood are a NZ company and make all their products in NZ. Their products are also free from parabens, artificial colours, SLS, etc.

I was lucky enough to receive this product in the BRBB in March.

The packaging for skinfood products always strikes me as clean and wholesome. White with green writing on, the products always look inviting to try! The flip top lid makes it easily accessible to get the product out of the bottle amid any good cleansing ritual! The consistency of the scrub is nice and thick and creamy, and allows for it to be easily applied to your face. The 'bits' in the scrub are bits of walnut, and are non abrasive (like some scrubs that really hurt!). The smell is divine , with a citrus sort of smell, leaving your face smelling very fresh and clean.

After exfoliating, your skin is left feeling really clean and smooth, without leaving lots of walnut residue, it washes off nicely.

The best thing ( apart from the goodness of the brand) ? The price tag is so cheap in comparison to this high end feel product. What an absolute steal... will be a go to product for me from now on!

So when I first got this product in the BRBB I assumed it was a face scrub. Then I looked around and was under the impression it was a body scrub. I have been using it as a face scrub only, so if it's for anything else, my bad. The bottle doesn't actually say WHERE it is to be used, so I figure I'm in the clear. On the skinfood website it comes with exfoliating gloves so now I'm even more confused!

The product is a lovely, creamy light brown in color, with bits and pieces of scrubby stuff through it. I'm guessing some of it is walnut shell, as that's one of the ingredients. It feels quite nice on my skin, too. The product doesn't lather at all, but I'm fine with that. I use about a 10c piece size of the product and it covers all of my face and some of my neck.

The smell is quite unusual - I don't smell any of the main products, but at the same time I do. It doesn't smell predominantly of cucumber or lime, but I can get the tiniest ounce of their smells. It's really quite earthy, I think, but it isn't a bad smell.

My skin feels lovely and soft after use, and thankfully it doesn't dry my skin out too much. In fact it's perfect for my skin. It gets rid of the dead skin cells and some of the oiliness, but I've found it doesn't really clear up my blackheads or pimples when I have them. So I would repurchase only if I was really desperate, but I'm glad I got to try it.

I thoroughly enjoyed using this product! My skin felt amazing and smooth after one use. I was sad when it ran out i had to go get more! i massaged this product into my face to use it to it's full potential. normally when i change face products i break out - but i didn't have this problem with the skinfood scrub :)

I love this exfoliator, it is so natural and creamy, and doesn't feel at all drying as some other's I have tried have! This is very gentle and makes my skin feel so nice and smooth and is fantastic at removing dry/dead skin. I use this 3 times a week and it has my skin looking and feeling great!

The one pro of this product for me is that as a cream based product, it was quite moisturising, but it was also quite thick and gluggy which may be why I didn't actually feel like any exfoliation was happening. The exfoliation agents themselves were quite large but I mostly didn't feel it exfoliating anything away unless I got quite rough which was never necessary with any other exfoliators I've tried. Will finish off the tube in the shower on my body (I don't recommend for face), but I will not be repurchasing the item.

Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub is a cream cleanser with walnut exfoliating pieces throughout. Nice and natural.

Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub is packaged in a box and inside the box is a white squeezy tube with a flip top lid. Great for standing up in the shower and no waste :-) Both the Skinfood box and squeezy tube are white the standard green Skinfood logo. Simple and eye catching. There is also a list of all the natural ingredients and Skinfood is proudly NZ made.

Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub is gentle on your skin and has a slight citrus smell. I use when I am in the shower. I only need a small amount the size of a 10c piece for my face and this does not lather. Your skin does not feel stripped of any moisture. Feels clean, smooth and refreshed.

I use Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub every few days so has lasted a long time.

I recommend for all skin types to try.

I've always loved face scrubs and am constantly trying out new ones and was pleasantly surprised when coming across this one. It lightly exfoliates and isn't too rough like other scrubs. It makes my skin feel super soft afterwards and o always love that I'm supporting a New Zealand brand.

Skinfood is a NZ brand that has a lot of natural ingridients and all there products are paraben free. This product includes tea tree oil,sweet almond oil,orange oil,aloe vera gel,manuka honey just some of the ingridients.this scrub is really nice it gives a good scrub but the bits arent to big ,it didnt dry my skin out but also left my oily skin feeling clean.i will have to purchase more of the skinfood products

I bought this product from the company for $13.99.

It comes in the distinctive white Skinfood packaging, a 100ml tube inside a white box with the Skinfood colours and logo. The tube has a flip top and is simple to access and use – just flip and squeeze.

The product has the same amazing scent as the mud masque – citrus and very similar to the senses as fresh lemonade – delicious!

It is of a thick lotion consistency and is moderately gritty when applied to the skin. I give it a minute or two to dry and then rub gently, and this works very well for exfoliating without stressing my skin. I then rinse it off with warm water.

The product claims to be made up of walnut shell, cucumber extract, manuka honey, aloe vera, sweet almond and lime to cleanse and refresh tired skin.

The feeling after use is clean and soft skin, that does feel fresh. I especially like that it is not harsh on skin as some exfoliaters can be.

It only requires a small amount of product (1/2 teasp) to gently cleanse the whole face so a tube lasts for weeks, even if using it several times a week.

As an avid user of Skinfood products, I have to say this one is equally fabulous to the others and is a very economical price. I would recommend it to my friends.

My son has been sharing this product with me to help with his acne prone skin. He reports he is finding it very cleansing on his skin and feels his skin is benefitting from it also.
