For the past few months I’ve been using this face scrub and this is one of those rare scrubs which I want to re-purchase. But, let me start from the beginning. Those who follow my blog probably know by now that I have combination skin but these past few years it has changed quite – my T zone is less oily and I have more problem with my skin getting drier and drier on cheeks for example. So, it’s really hard for me to find appropriate skin care. That’s why I’ve been using a regular moisturizer all over my face and serum for extra hydratation.
It’s been easier to pick a face scrub though sometimes not even that. I do have some demands which perhaps aren’t easy to stand up to so it’s hard to find one which would include all of them, but this one is pretty close. I do expect from a face scrub to do its job properly and to have effect on my skin, I don’t want some surface scrubing. I want to feel that my skin has been scrubed proprely, but not to rough and I don’t want my skin to be red all over. Okay, there is some redness with this one, but moderate redness is okay for me. This scrub has micro cells which are a bit harsh so I would not recommend this to someone with sensitive skin. On the photo above you can see how it actually looks like. I scrub my face for about 10 seconds, or so, I avoid eye area and definitely dedicate a bit more to my T zone. I use it once a week.
After I remove it I really feel like my skin is alive, if I can call it that way, and beside that it also feels soft and elastic. I apply my skin care routine as usual, especially now when I fell like my skin needs some extra care and to calm my redness too. The thing I really like about this scrub also is – the smell of it. This whole product line has an awesome smell which I love.
Since I’ve purchased it a few months ago I’m not sure about the price anymore, but I think it is approx. $6 for 150 ml. I recommend it to those with combination and oily skin. I think it will work for you.
Which face scrub do you use? Have you tried this face scrub or anything else from this product line?

I must try it!
Suzi´s last [type] ..Večera a Raňajky u Tiffanyho
dobro zvuci,voljela bih ga probati..trenutno koristim avonov iz naturals linije,med,badem i secer ili tako nesto i savrsen je :D fino mirisi,gust je,zrnca su malo veca ali njeznija-okruglasta tako da meni skros odgovara.probala sam i neki afroditin sa kosticama marelice,on je nesto rijeđe konzistencije,sa više zrnaca,a zrnca su puno ostrija nego u avonovom tako da mi je avonov ipak drazi,a mogu ga koristiti 2-3 puta tj da ne dobijem nikakve nuspojave,a crvenila nema uopce (koza suha i dehidrirana,pokoji pristic,t-zona se tjekom dana dosta masti)
Ovo jako dobro zvuči, morat ću ga probat! Trenutno koristim Garnierov 3u1 i nije loš, fino ispilingira, ali opet, nije savršen i svakako mislim nastavit isprobavat dalje, pa će ovo bit moja iduća peeling-kupnja :)

mogla bih probati :D ^^
FashionFreak´s last [type] ..first post in 2012. hola.
Cool. Trenutno koristim piling/gel od Balee (zelene boje). Jeftin a OK :) Isprobat cu jednom i ovaj :-)
Obožavam pilinge … imam ih nekoliko, i sve ih koristim … svaki po jedan put i tako u krug … a sljedeći na shopping listi je ovaj :)
mislim da ću probati ovaj kad završim s Eveline-ovim iz Pure line linije, onaj mi je ok za T zonu ali isuši mi jako ostatak lica, a i nije mi dovoljno grub da mi lijepo izriba lice…
Misliš da ne bi bilo dobro koristiti ovaj piling češće? Na primjer, više puta tjedno?
zvuči zanimljivo, imam istu kožu kao i ti, sa istom promjenom (godine :D) i trenutno mi je super peeling iz Lidla Iseree ako se dobro sjećam naziva, koji također sadrži vitE. 11,99 kn košta 100 ml (prilično sigurna za militražu :D)
otkad sam probala kemijski peeling, ne vraćam se mehaničkim..
jer jednostavno skinu odumrle stanice bez crvenila i bez iritacija. nakon takvog peelinga mogu bez problema nanijeti i kremu s kiselinama a da me ne pecka.
dermalogica gentle cream exfoliator za lice je super, minus ide na cijenu od cca 300kn.
cosmelovo mlijeko za tijelo s 14% aha je također super, koristim ga jednom dnevno, izbljeđuje ožiljke od uraslih dlaka i ‘vadi’ urasle van. šteta što grozno smrdi :-(
Iako imam osetljivu kozu ovaj piling mi bas prija, jedan od boljih iz drugstore ponude!
Trenutno koristim Botega Verde piling od meda za osetljivu kozu, jako je fin, kremast i zrnca su gotovo neprimetna-preporucujem!
Ja obožavam svoj 3u1 garnier, ali jednom prilikom sam kupila i ovaj, međutim nije mi bio dobar. Iritirao me i ostavljao mi je neki film na koži, a moja je brižna sva masna.. Čak mislim da mi je uzrokovao prištiće, ali nisam sigurna. Miris je odličan btw.
Ma definitivno ću ga probati … kad sam živčana onda njegujem lice … pilinzi, maske … :)) A favorita nemam … Možda ovaj postane, tko zna … javim :)
Bas sam ga trazila u DM-u vec par puta dosad, ali nisam ga uspjela pronaci? :O
Je li povucen iz prodaje ili?
