To tell the truth, I had quite high expectations before purchasing the product, mostly because of the many vloggers and bloggers who praised this Black Sugar Mask. I was desperately in need of a good cleanser and exfoliator, and no matter how many different products I tried I never really found "the one". So I decided to try SkinFood's Black Sugar Mask. I found the price absolutely reasonable and didn't hesitate to put it in the cart. I was super excited when I finally held it in my hands. First impression was very pleasant. The packaging is simple but cute and love the second lid as well.
And now in general. The very first thing I notice when opening the container is the scent. It is a super exciting scent that somehow reminds me of coke. Might be strange, but I fell in love with it.
The texture is amazing, and the sugar itself is a highly effective yet gentle exfoliator. The mask, the cream components together with the sugar is easy to apply. I usually use it on dry or just slightly wet face in order to achieve stronger scrubbing. Then leave it on for 5-10 mins to let the sorcery happen. I have to say that it is like pure magic. Right after the first use my skin was waaaaaaay cleaner, healthier and softer. I could hardly believe. This was the first time ever that I really felt that a scrub did what it promised. It is not drying my face at all (also used on my chest, same incredible effect). However, I want to mention that overusing it is not a good idea obviously, just as overusing anything else.
The fact that I only need to apply a tiny amount even for my very troubled skin makes me happy, since this way it lasts longer than I first expected. I have been using the first pot since mid-December and I still have a little bit left (now it's end of Feb), even though I put it on quite often.
So all in all, I absolutely recommend this product to anybody, basically regardless of skin type (mine is combination, my Mom's, who is also using it from time to time, normal to dry, my brother's, who tried it once and loved it, oily). It works well for me every single time, and I am glad I gave it a chance. I definitely buy a new one after I finish the current pot.
