I received this product for review from BR (Thanks guys)..
Visually this product really stands out for me, a bright tropical green colored substance in a solid square glass jar, packaged in a metallic gold box.. Beautiful!
Looking at he product unopened I definitely expected it to smell amazing, and of course it does! As expected it's a sweet kiwi fruity scent.
I got a real surprise the first time that I applied the scrub, it warms and it's very noticeable. Something is mentioned about this on the box, but I hadn't been expecting so much heat, it's not burny or unpleasant at all though..
This is a gentle scrub, it doesn't take long to work the sugar grains down, dissolving into a thin shiny coatng.
After washing off my skin is soft and smooth, and after about a week and a half of every daybuse, my pores do appear smaller in my opinion.
I've really enjoyed using this product, it's extremely pleasant, gentle but powerful, and I think reasonably priced.
I would recommend this one to anyone and might purchase myself some time.
A kiwifruit face scrub with actual kiwifruit seeds, isn't that neat! This looks just like a kiwifruit puree and smells equally delicious. The product has a thick gel consistency and contains lots sugar grains for optimum scrubbing action. I've recently been using the essano face scrub which is on the gentler side so this seemed a lot rougher in comparison. I don't think it was too harsh though since the sugar somewhat 'dissolved' as I rubbed it into my face. It was easy to rinse off (both in the shower and using a flannel at my sink) and didn't leave any residue on my skin.
Afterwards I felt as if a layer of dead skin cells have been lifted, and that my face was fresh and rejuvenated. I also noticed that it removed makeup quite well, so if I only had light makeup on I could even skip the makeup wipes and go straight in with this. I've limited myself to using this at the most twice a week, as it is quite a powerful exfoliant and I have sensitive skin. Haven't seen any longterm results like reduced blackheads or minimised pores but I have only been using it for two weeks.
I really wished this came in a squeeze tube or something like that. I like to use face scrubs in the shower but for someone who drops their soap/shampoo on almost a daily basis, glass jars meant disaster. Also this is only 50g for $20 which is a little less than what I'd have expected. Each time I use about half a teaspoon, so I'd expect this to only last a month, maybe 2 tops.
