moisturizing scrub

I received this scrub in I think a goodie box last year and have been using it for the last 2 months. The packaging is super simple, it's nothing that jumps out at me but being a unisex product, i think it has mass appeal.

I'm a really big fan of sweet almond scent so i was really looking forward to using this. Unfortunately, i was left disappointed as it does not smell like that at all, rather a very plant like natural scent. I really didn't like it at first, but I've gotten used to the scent now an i guess it's OK but still not totally appealing.

before this I'd been using the St Ives apricot scrub which gives a really good scrub. This is quite different. It's a very creamy product and not as densely packed with 'grit'. I do find I need to use a decent amount of product to get enough to do my face and my neck.

I think it Does an alright job at scrubbing but I do prefer a more gritty scrub. I use this every second day in the morning after cleansing. I'm not sure if it's just because the cleanser I am using is so drying but this scrub actually seems to hydrate my skin. I don't get a tight feeling after using this.

I think it's alright value for money, I'm just over half way done with this so 4 months is good but in saying that my St Ives scrub lasted me a year.

I'm not sure if I would purchase this product, I would use it if it was given to me or in a sub box but I can't help comparing it to The St Ives scrub and this just falls short for me.

Love!

I got this in my beauty box and wow!! This exfoliating scrub smells absolutely Devine. I've never really done much exfoliating but after using this one I am completely sold and have found a new obsession. It leaves me feeling so clean and my skin has never felt so good. I am in love and will be buying more when I run out! I thought it looked like quite a small tube but I've been using it most nights all over my body and its lasting really well.

My New Go To

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!

Tips: If you have sensitive skin but need an exfoliant that won't be harsh on your skin, this is the product for you!

Relaxing, cleasing, Bliss in a box

I absolutely loved this product. THANK YOU MARCH BEAUTY BOX.

If was fresh, cleansing and smells amazing. The beads within the scrub where not too big or rough so it was an invigorating rather than painful experience.

Skin feels rejuvenated, new and energized.

Tips: I especially love using this scrub before bed as it cucumber and manuka honey scents relax and soothe your skin, especially if you wear makeup all day

Perfect Daily Scrub

I have never tried any skinfood products before so I was excited to try a new brand and I was intrigued and excited about the cucumber extract and manuka honey.

It has a very creamy texture rather than a jel-like texture with tiny beads in it. It was very easy to rub over my skin and the beads were small enough exfoliate my skin but at the same time it was not harsh at all so I think this would be a great product for people with sensitive skin.

Once I washed off the product my skin felt extremely smooth and soft and so fresh. My skin felt rejuvenated which is exactly what I want after a long day with makeup on.

I definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a good exfoliator.

Great Scrub

Great job Skin Food has done with this product. The Exfoliating Scrub is amazing where do I start, I received a sample of this from the Skin Food company after i contacted them in regards to ingredients and allergies and i didn't want to buy a full size product if I was unable to use it, but after even one use of this product and no reaction I had to go out and buy it.

It has the normal White and Green squeeze packaging from Skin Food which is great, enough information on the bottle as well if there was anything you need to know along with additional information on the box it comes in, that hands down is great as we know we are buying the product and not the packaging so the around $14 to buy it is so very much worth it, and quite often is on special so you can get the bargain even better.

This product smells so good, it just smells natural with the Honey and the amazing combination of fruits, the lime smell sticks out for me and I just love it, they done really well with carefully choosing a combination of ingredients but none of that would matter if it didnt have the amazing exfoliation beads that it has, they a full of a quite fine granule and (it product is a kind of brown colour but thats okay, at least you know there are no added colours) it goes onto your face and in small circle motions, it just gets rid of all that old skin, even makeup I found some makeup that just did not come off with makeup remover, this removed it.

I love it as I didn't come out red faced like some other facial scrubs do to me, my skin felt amazing and the smallest amount of product goes such a long way, it even use it a bit on my shoulders when I ever have an issue with slight acne and this helps clear it all up and on my chest when I feel that need a extra boost and I swear this product just helps.

Great way to give your skin a boost after wearing makeup all day, even great as that weekly treat for your skin, I wouldn't use it everyday, only because your skin does its own desquamation and exfoliating every day puts that out of whack.

Overall Highly love this product, even with my allergies I can happily use it, will be buying it again and will recommend it to others.

Great scrub perfect for daily use

I've picked this up on supermarket aisle without thinking too much, thought I'd give it a go. Result is amazing, I actually am repeating the second one. I usually use this at night, before I put on essence masks on. It's like cheaper version of Lush scrub in a way, but still so good. I've got combination skin, so I just do longer with more amount for the areas I want to focus.

Tips: Don't have your face TOO moisturized - I find that it works better when you don't have too much water. If you have any heating gel (for blackheads, whiteheads, etc), use the gel before you do the scrub.

Nice, but don't quite hit the mark or me..

I receieved this in the BR Beauty Box, the instant I laid eyes on it the combination of ingredients stated on the front of the packaging appealed to me and made me want to use it right away. Packed with natural ingredients that we know are good for our health and skin such as cucumber, manuka honey, aloe vera & almond oil.. it's gotta be for you (surely)!

This is a cream cleanser with fine flecks of walnut shell through it, reminiscent of the commonly trialed (original) St.Ive's apricot scrub, but this is much more gentle in comparison, gentle enough to use on daily basis. The consistency is thick, creamy and grainy, the scent is prominently soft lime.

I find that this product funtions more are as buffer to smooth and polish the skin rather than a cleanser. My skin feels super smooth, hydrated and soft after spending a minute or 2 massaging a pea sized amount into my face before rinsing off. Though the feeling of fresh squeaky cleanliness I feel is lacking after washing with this, and it's a waste of time trying to tackle eye-makeup with this cleanser.

This is a mild and gentle cleanser, I would think suitable or every day use if you don't typically wear make up on a daily basis. whereas if you are in a full face of makeup reguarly it may not be hard-working enough to get the job done.

I like the way that this product makes my skin feel to the touch, I like that it's NZ made using natural ingredients, I like the texure and scent. However it doesn't compare to my favourite cleansers in the actual cleansing depatment, in fact I have come to use it as a follow -up treatment after washing with a different cleaner to buff the suface of my skin.

I have enjoyed using this product but won't purchase as it doesn't fully deliver what I expect from a cleanser.

Natural skin care

I love skinfood. Made in NZ, out of natural and beautiful products what more could I want? I like the walnut scrub in this as it really feels like I am getting out all of the days dirt and makeup. It is also a safer alternative to many of the products that use silicone in them which is damaging on the skin. Overall I love this!
