Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub Review

Got this whole skin food routine for my teenager. For her first face products I wanted something gentle. I seen her skin glow up with these products. She enjoys using the exfoliating scrub with how it made her skin look and feel. So I added this to my face routine too and it’s simply beautiful to use. Fresh subtle smell to it also leaves my face feeling hydrated. Love that this is a affordable too.

I think I got this out of a beauty box or something, because I certainly didn’t buy it. I’d never heard of it until it arrived. Previously I’d have bought Lush face scrubs, as they’re the only ones I trust. I’ve found that other brands either do nothing for my skin, or they actually damage it. I’m saying that, I am impressed with this product. First of all, it has lasted me quite a while. At least 7 months of use mostly every night. I have used other products in between. It comes out with a lot of grain, and because of this I was worried it would tear my skin up, but it’s surprisingly gentle. I’ve seen reviews for other products with a similar texture that have basically scratched away at peoples’ faces and left them worse than before. Scary, but not so in this case. The grain is excellent at removing dead skin cells, cleaning out pores, and leaving my fave feeling reborn. The other ingredients are fantastic for my dry skin and I always feel fresh afterwards. It’s an excellent cleanser. It’s on my list of favourite facial scrubs.

I got samples of this but upon using it and feeling the benefits it has I just had to have it in my hot lil hand! I have always liked the simple clean and fresh design of the packaging and the easy to use tube. The beads are rather big and rough but it gave my face an all over buffing and left it feeling like silk. I used the Skin Food Nourishing Moisturizer afterward and my husband even complimented me on the soft feel of my skin. I like the fresh lime smell of the product because it's not too over powering and is enough to excite my senses. For the price and results I am officially hook lined and sinkered!

I have been using this exfoliating scrub from the last 4 months. It provides gentle yet effective exfoliation and I use it every week on my face. It leaves my skin feeling soft. I have a sensitive skin and i don't like scrubbing much but this scrub is an exception. It also has heaps of natural ingredients like tea tree oil, sweet almond oil, orange oil and manuka honey to name a few and the positive part is that it is paraben free.

I was attracted to this exfoliator when my skin was going through a particularly rough stage (excuse the pun). I chose this one because of the impressive feedback on this brand based on their masque. So I had high expectations for this product, I based on their other products and the brand in general. The Verdict: I would liken this scrub to the St. Ives apricot scrub as it has a similar scent and look. I think this scrub has the perfect amount of exfoliant, its not too harsh but it does what is says it will (exfoliates skin). I love the fact all the ingredients are natural and that it's New Zealand made, that just makes me feel much better about using this on my skin! I would definitely pick this over the St. Ives exfoliant as not only is the product NZ made and of natural ingredients, the packaging is much better - the St. Ives one used to split on the sides!

Skinfood has to be one of my most favourite NZ brands. I am slowly accumulating all the products.

This is marketed as a face scrub but recently I've run our of body scrub so have been using it on my arms as well and it is amazing! I love the use of walnut shell for the scrub portion of it. The smell is fantastic to and not over powering. Skinfood always use amazing scents for their products. I would like it a little bit more abrasive but it is still amazing none the less and I will definitely repurchase.

I really love the natural and gentle way in which the Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub cleanses my skin. It does a thorough job and really works well to penetrate the skin to get rid of impurities without over drying or irritating. My skin is very sensitive yet prone to breakouts and many exfoliators I tried before irritated it so I had to discontinue using them. This product is by far the best exfoliating scrub I've ever tried.

Gentle but does the job. Smells really nice and you only need to use a small amount. Love that it’s made from natural ingredients and doesn’t dry out my skin.

Skinfood products are slowly taking over my bathroom! I really liked this exfolianting scrub, but I had put off buying it for a little while due to a couple of other reviews. However this is an example of what doesn't work for some, works for others :) There is barely any fragrance (which I love because, 1: I have incredibly sensitive skin, so heavily perfumed face products usually means my skin will react badly to them, and 2: My last exfoliating scrub was an amazing product EXCEPT for the fact that I hated the smell! To the point where I only used it a few times before giving up). Secondly, the beads in the scrub aren't as big as some others. But I like that. It still has that nice gritty feel of a good exfoliant, but is gentle enough for sensitive skin like mine. Way to go guys, I'm in love <3

I'm already a fan of skinfood! I have the masque and the moisturising SPF cream so I was excited to receive this in my March beauty box. This came in perfect time as my regular exfoliator/face wash had just run out. I used it in the shower as I usually do and immediatly I could feel the beads all over my face. I gave my face a good scrub all over and the beads did not melt or soften! (This has happened to me in the past) this was a pro for me. After drying my face my skin felt like a babies bottom! Soft and supple.
