L'Occitane Ultra Rich Face Scrub - Gommage Ultra Riche Visage


I have already spoken about a few skin care products from L'Occitane back in August. Since then I have continued discovering their line one product at a time,
Today I would like to talk about their face scrub. It is from the Shea Butter line which is great for dry and sensible skin.

The face scrub comes in a plastic container in typical L'Occitane style not over-designed but practical. Also the information on the jar is at a minimum. You get 100ml for 21.50 Euros.


When opening the jar you are welcomed by a light creamy floral scent. You can observe right away the white cream base and the scrub inside. The exfoliating granules are made from finely ground nutshells and the granules are quite big and rough for my taste.

Here is how it looks on my hand. Texture is just creamy and not liquid at all. You can easily massage the product into the skin.


As the exfoliating granules are quite big I highly recommend applying the face scrub very gently on your face.
I massage this carefully into the dry skin and rinse the product off with water. For me this works really well and the skin is very clean and soft after the application. I had absolutely no problems with break outs using this face scrub. I am currently using it once a week and it works great.

Summing up:

Pros:
  • Polishes sensitive skin gently
  • Lovely Scent

Cons:
  • Big exfoliating granules might lead people to over do it
