SKINFOOD Black Sugar Perfect Essential Scrub 2X (~C$24 for 200g) that I simply couldn't pass up. Although I haven’t really used physical scrubs in the past few years, given the rising popularity of chemical exfoliants, I was still quite intrigued by the SKINFOOD Black Sugar Perfect Essential Scrub 2X, as it instantly reminded me of the Fresh Sugar Face Polish from way back in the day. The nostalgia and the great value ultimately sealed the deal for me. To read my thoughts on this gentle facial scrub, click......

Packaged in a simple plastic tub, the SKINFOOD Black Sugar Perfect Essential Scrub 2X is a nourishing sugar scrub formulated with black sugar, macadamia oil, meadowfoam seed oil, shea butter, and rice ferment. With a viscous yet easy-to-spread consistency, the scrub contains just the right amount of sugar particles to provide excellent exfoliation without feeling too abrasive. When it comes to sugar scrubs, some (e.g., Fresh Sugar Face Polish) can be so melty and gentle that they barely provide any physical exfoliation, while others are overly gritty and scratchy, compromising the skin barrier. It is nice that the SKINFOOD Black Sugar Perfect Essential Scrub 2X strikes the right balance. The base formulation is also very nourishing without feeling greasy. It emulsifies easily with water and washes off cleanly, without leaving any unpleasant residue. I also really like the soft, sweet citrus scent. Overall, SKINFOOD Black Sugar Perfect Essential Scrub 2X proves that physical scrubs still have their place in the skincare world, because sometimes you really want that instant gratification of baby soft skin.
