Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser - review

Every now and then you receive a product via a subscription box and fall in love with it completely, and it reminds you why you subscribe to these boxes in the first place.

For me, this was one of those products. We received it in February's Violet Box and it's beyond amazeballs. When my spending ban lifts, I'm definitely picking up the full size.

Verdict

I LOVE this! I've only been using it a short while, and already it's gone straight to the favourites list. I've even given it an HG tag, and I can't remember the last time I did that with a cleanser.

I love the experience of using this from the moment I open the lid and the wonderful scent emerges from the tub. It smells so lemon delicious I've considered eating it ; )

You only need the tiniest bit of sugary goodness mixed with water and then rubbed on your face to feel the good work it's doing. It feels divine on your skin and, unlike most exfoliators, feels like it's moisturising at the same time that it's resurfacing.

It does work well as both an exfoliant and a cleanser (not all products can manage both, even though they claim to), and my skin feels fresher and cleaner after use. It also looks brighter and smoother, so all those claims are true.

I'm not sure about the claims relating to this product fighting the signs of ageing (eg fine lines etc), although it does have a temporary effect of that nature because it removes the first layer of dull skin. I don't think it has any cumulative effect over time, however.

In sum, I'm totally in love with this product and will definitely be sourcing a full-sized item once this one's finished. That will take a while though, because you use so little each time - another plus. I know what I'm planning to spend my Violet Box points on when I have enough!

Have you used this? Let me know what you think if so : )
