Skin Food Black Sugar Scrub Foam




Most Korean skincare users would probably have heard of this or have used it themselves. Skin Food's Black Sugar Scrub Foam has received plenty of great reviews and is one of the products from the brand's popular Black Sugar series.

I got it a couple of months back together with the Argan Oil Silk Hair Mask Pack. 

Honestly after using it for some time, I find it normal and there are more cons than pros for this product to me. The smell is on the strong side and while that may not be a a deterring factor as it is still bearable, the fragrance may be a concern for sensitive skin.

The foam does a decent job in exfoliating physically with the rough granules and leaves skin feeling cleaner and smooth with the plus point being that it doesn't feel dry or taut. :)

The packaging is not really user-friendly as it comes with a screw cap instead of a convenient flip one.

Imagine trying to juggle tightening the cap with a couple of turns after squeezing a slippery dollop on your palm/back of hand and trying to make sure the scrub doesn't fall off. 8 out of 10 times it slides right off. >.<

Is there some other proper way? Perhaps dabbing it straight on your face? But I do prefer smoothing the product in between my palms before applying it on my face. Packaging and function are really important factors in providing convenience and hygiene etc.

The design of the scrub's tube oddly was similar to the mask pack I purchased. Both come in brownish tubes with a sticker label in the middle, not really the most attractive compared to many Korean products out there and there isn't much differentiation although one is a hair product and the other is a face product and they utilize different ingredient series.
