Performance reflections |
This bar has a beautiful spicy fragrance and feels wonderful to use. It looks and feels as if it will dissolve into nothing within a few uses, but it is surprisingly long-lasting. |
This product has a pleasant cinnamon scent and I found that it is effective at clearing skin of pimples. It is rather rough, though, so more sensitive users may not have the same results. |
What I like about the Gingersnap Face Scrub is that it has a nice smell. I have sensitive skin due to medication and I found it to be a bit rough and sandpapery. |

Rating out of 10 on the “would never buy this again” (1) to “must, must, must have this” (10) scale |
10/10 |
8/10 |
3/10 (just because this product does not suit my skin type) |
|
Advice for users |
Gingersnap is a physical rather than a chemical exfoliant, so care is recommended when using. Massage gently to avoid damage to the skin. Lovely to use as a body scrub as well. |
I would advise potential buyers with sensitive skin to apply this product softly or avoid it altogether. |
Not really suitable for those with sensitive skin. |
