Review: Fenty Beauty Cherry Dub Super Fine Face Scrub

 

I've noticed a difference in trends for myself when it comes to skincare and makeup, but there are always a few constants here and there. For example, as much as I love eyeshadow palettes, nothing makes my heart beat faster than picking up that new lip colour and applying it for the first time. It's also things like loving a good face scrub with exfoliating particles, rather than solely going for the products that can help remove dead skin cells with chemical exfoliants in them. Call it a throwback to my teen days, but I just can't help loving a scrubby cleanser! And you know what I like more than a scrubby cleanser? One that combines both! 

As you might know, cherry season is Summer, and I must have that in the back of my mind when I was looking at picking up a new facial scrub while I was having a scan through Sephora, because I picked up the Fenty Beauty Cherry Dub Super Fine Face Scrub! This is an exfoliating scrub that's meant to help brighten the complexion, while reducing the appearance of pores in as little as one week. It helps to remove dry, flaking skin, allowing for smoother skin that can be better hydrated, so that you can build upon it for a more flawless makeup application.

 

The formula is vegan, and Barbados Cherry features as the most prominent ingredient. This is filled with Vitamin C, which is great for brightening the skin, so that you can have a radiant complexion. IT also has caffeine in it to hep energize, revive and wake up the skin, and superfine sugar and silica exfoliants to get rid of dead skin cells. Additionally, it also has cranberry, pomegranate, papaya and pineapple enzymes in the mix to provide a better texture for the skin by renewing it.

 

This comes in a lilac tube with a flip lid, which makes it easy to squeeze the desired amount out of it each time. It's lightly cherry scented, and thankfully doesn't smell anything like cough syrup, which was the first thing that popped into my mind when I first saw what the fragrance was meant to be. The description of this scrub on Sephora refers to it as a 'cherry jam face scrub', and I think that is a very fitting description of the consistency. It's thick and has a grainy texture, and it actually foams up into a pink puffy cloud-like consistency, which I wasn't expecting.

 

I don't feel like this make a big difference to my skin when it comes to brightening it, it more seems to maintain it for me, but I do feel like it does a good job of keeping my skin smooth by buffing away all the dead skin. My skin also looks a little perkier after using this scrub, and sitting at $41 for 100g of product, while not prohibitively expensive, it's also not particularly cheap. I can tell you, though, that it has been quite enjoyable using this, and that I'll be finishing this tube. You can find out more about it over here. Do you have a preferred scrub scent?
