UPCIRCLECoffee Face Scrub - Citrus Blend For Normal + Dry Skin 100ml - Shea Butter, Coconut + Rosehip Oil - Natural, Vegan Face Exfoliator For Soft, Smooth Skin

I love this scrub!! The “grainy” consistency is perfect for getting a good but gentle exfoliation and it smells divine, very natural and clean and leaves my skin feeling so soft n fresh! This will defo become a staple in my skin care routine!

This face scrub has become a firm beauty favourite of mine, and one I'm never without. If you're looking for an intense scrub then look no further!It smells absolutely beautiful, I feel like I've been at a spa after I've used it. The fragrance combo seems odd but somehow just works; it's quite addictive! It also leaves a really lovely oily and hydrated feel to your skin once you've washed it off too. The coffee grounds make for a firm and vigorous scrub, so use gently until you're used to it! It honestly leaves my skin glowing and feeling super smooth.I also love how the ingredients are responsibly sourced this product; its a really big tick in the box for sustainable beauty.

I've used quite a few different coffee scrubs - the last one I used was the St Ives coffee scrub when it was available. I was a bit dubious about the price of this up circle one (£11) but decided to give it a go due to the good reviews and it was priced similarly to others of seen online.Quantity: I was pleasantly pleased - I'm a bit of a pessimist and thought that they would have used a very shallow depth "pot" to hold the product - however, there is a lot of it on there and you go early don't need that much of it to do a good job at cleansing your skin.Smell: it's a very pleasant smell, you don't smell the coffee much at all, hardly any, it's mainly the rosehip oil. I was slightly disappointed personally, because I LOVE the smell of coffee, but, it still smells really nice.Aim of product: I'd say it met its aim to cleanse my skin and leave it soft - much better I'd say than the St Ives coffee scrub I used before. And you don't need much of the product to achieve this.Overall I've rated a 4/5 because I think it's a gvery ood product. The only reason I didn't rate 5/5 is because of the price - however, I'd have probably have given 5/5 if it was £9-10 (but that's my personal opinion).

There were a couple of things about this product that weren't bad but did catch me off guard. First is the texture, it goes on a little thin, so it's worth knowing a little goes a long way with this (also makes for better perceived value for money). The second is the smell. I am very sensitive to smell, and I liked it. The coffee smell is not strong in comparison to the citrus, so I thought it smelled refreshing. Third is the feeling when you rinse. I am more accustomed to mud-style masks rather than oil, so the feeling of the essential oil on my skin when I rinsed was a little strange at first. It does rinse clean and leaves you feeling pretty soft.I am living in that lovely post-40 skin when things go a bit wonky, so this is a nice addition to my bare-bones skin routine. I followed it up with my usual moisturizer. Overall, very happy.

So - getting older, skin is doing funny things on my face - zones that used to be normal now dry, sometimes feels like scales - you know getting older joys. I wanted a scrub that didn’t feel like I was removing any moisture my skin had managed to hold on to whilst I removed the apparent dead skin that stubbornly refuses to age gracefully.Beautifully packaged - like genuinely surprised by this.You do not need to use a lot - does it feel like you’re rubbing coffee grounds into your face and you have succumbed to the hype - yes. Does it look like you’ve rubbed poop on your face - yes. Had to take a photo and send to a friend I was laughing so hard when I looked in the mirror having looked at my hands after gently rubbing this on to my face 🤣.As I washed it off I was super surprised that my skin felt a little oily, as I’m so used to using a face scrub and feeling like I’m using a squeegee on a window with the squeaky clean sound. It felt super smooth as well and I didn’t feel the need to pat dry my face, it just felt good. And as I settled down after my shower for a movie (don’t judge me for evening showering!) my face continued to feel good and moisturised. Usually I have to run for the face moisturiser and slap it on till I no longer hear my face screaming for moisture!I did put in night cream before bed and this morning woke up to my skin feeling soft and loved. The dry patch between my eyebrows that has suddenly decided it needed to be in my life seems to have been evicted! And I no longer feel like I am shedding!Really good product, super happy! Treat yourself!

Ordered this to exfoliate as most face washes although it says it exfoliates its just not strong enough. This does however feel like your having a deep clean thanks to the coffee granules. And as its oil based, I find I don't have to moisturise after as it leaves the skin soft with a oil/moisturising feel after from the product. So perhaps, not the best for those with oily skin, unless you use a face wash after the exfoliator to wash off the oil based residue. It's a decent size and should last a month or longer, I tend to use it in the shower or bath and not daily. So I expect it to last a few months as I use it sparingly.Things to note are, you need to rinse it off throughly as sometimes the coffee granules don't wash off so easy because of the oils its mixed with.And the scent, I normally like essential oil scents but this smells weird, it defo smells like essential oils, but I can't pin point the scent. It's a mix of citrus, maybe lavender and coffee mixed together? I'm not a fan of the smell. I'd almost like it more if It smelt more like coffee or smelt more like one essential oil like lavender, not everything combined. If you're sensitive to scent, then this probably won't be for you. Hope this is useful :)
