Before writing my skincare or hair care reviews I try to use the product for at least a month to really get a feel for a product and to see how it truly performs for my needs. With this product I seriously struggled to wait out my "One month rule" before writing this review - that is how excited I am about it.
The first thing you experience when pouring this face wash into the palm of your hand is the beautiful apricot fragrance. It is subtle scent that it so pleasant to use and almost makes you want to wash your face all the time. The face wash has quite a runny consistency, which I would prefer to be a little less watery because if you aren't careful it runs off your hand straight into the bath or wash basin (product wasted!).
My technique to avoid product wastage is to apply a little in the palm of my hand and target specific area of the face one at a time. Initially it was a little irritating because it took me longer, but I have seen the pay off because I pay attention to each area now and am able to really feel and see the difference in this approach. It is effective at removing make up on the skin, however I still active using a proper make up remover for your eyes.
The scrub in the face wash is made up natural apricot micro-beads that perform beautifully as a scrub. They are effective at exfoliating while at the time time being gentle on the skin. I have somewhat sensitive skin in that certain products cause a fine rash on my skin, this face scrub has been gentle enough to use everyday without causing any irritation to my skin.
The product comes in a 100ml tube and I must say that I really like the packaging of it. It has a fresh feel to it and I love that I can see what the scrub looks like in the bottle and are not mislead into purchasing it then getting a nasty surprise that there is hardly any exfoliating product in the bottle. I can't recall the exact price I paid but it was under R60 for the tube (one of the reasons I chose to go with this was because it was cheaper than the other L'Oreal face Pure Zone washes I was using and I am over my hormonal years of battling with oily and blemished skin - thanks heavens!).
I have been using the scrub everyday for about 4 weeks now and am seriously in love with it. I will purchase it again and keep using it until the day L'Oreal decides to "improve" things and discontinue products (I really hate it when my favourites are discontinued).
