This kinda messed up my skin...




When I first thought about writing this post, I imagined it would be a completely positive review saying about how much I was in love with this product, as that was truly how I felt about it in the beginning.  But I now know that I obviously didn't give it enough time to make it a reliable opinion as I now have slightly different feedback on this face scrub after using it for more than 1 day.


PROS- > Leaves a cooling sensation when activated which I find very appealing.
> Removes face makeup, dirt and oil (was extremely pleased as only drug store face wash I'd come across that removes makeup as well)
> Left skin feeling really smooth after first day of use.

......................................................................................................................

CONS- > Made skin feel itchy and irritated after 2nd day of use, whilst also creating flaky patches and the feeling of dryness/tightness.
> Claims to be a daily wash but I believe its too harsh for everyday use (especially when face is makeup free) and now that I've limited the amount of times I use this, my skin is gradually improving.
> Not ideal for sensitive skin.


Overall, I would say this scrub is a good one to use maybe a couple of times a week instead of everyday as I believe that unless you have quite a thick application of makeup before you use it, or your skin is already quite capable of strong products then it may cause irritation.
My skin is still recovering from first using this product just a few days ago, I did think that maybe if I kept using it my skin would get used to it but sadly that was not the case.  It seems as though it's had a long lasting effect on me :'( #prayformyskin


Cost- around £3.99

  2. It's a shame that it's so irritating, it should be labelled as not for daily use! Sounds like it would be okay as a once a week thorough scrub though.

    1. I think its as my skin can be quite sensitive sometimes and I wasn't wearing makeup on most of the days I used it that it was too harsh for my bare skin, and yeah I'll be using it probs only once a week from now on! aha xx
