Review: L'Oreal Perfect Clean Foaming Face Wash

I usually prefer to test out my skincare for longer than a week when I'm getting ready for a review. But I've used this for a week and hate it, so I thought I should get round to reviewing it before I got rid.




This gives you instructions on the back on how to use the Scrublet. It suggests that you squeeze some of the cleanser onto the Scrublet and use that to apply to your face. I tried that and got into an absolute mess! The Scrublet doesn't hold the cleanser at all and it all just gloops everywhere. The second attempt I applied the cleanser to my face and used the Scrublet to exfoliate. That was a lot easier.

However, my skin absolutely hated the cleanser. It felt as though I had washed with a plain bar of soap. My skin felt dry and tight immediately after use, even before I had patted my face dry. I also had a little flaking on my forehead. I needed a lot of moisturiser afterwards to make my skin feel relatively normal. I got the sensitive cleanser so I dread to think what the regular cleansers would have done to my skin!

On the other hand, the Scrublet is a little piece of awesome. I love it and I'll be using it as part of my regular skin care regime. It's a very soft, rubber thing. I'll show you a picture as there isn't really a way to describe it otherwise.




It looks a little spiky but there's nothing rough about it at all. It allows for a very gentle exfoliation which I think I'll be able to use pretty much every day. I've tried it with other cleansers and it works just as well, there's nothing special that means it only works with the L'Oreal cleanser.

Just one thing though, it will need regular cleaning (not just a rinse under hot water) if you use a thicker cleanser. I've tried it with my Lush Ultrabland cleanser and the thick cream of the cleanser gathers on the Scrublet and needed removing after I had finished Scrubleting.

So, for once, the novelty is the only bit of this product that works.

  1. I have the soap and glory one of these and I LOVE how it makes my skin feels, it's amazing how using something like that to massage your face can make such a difference. Love it :)

  4. @ Sophie - I'll have a look for the Soap & Glory one next time I'm in Boots.

    @Dentedheart_x - I saw the refreshing, but after using the sensitive, I'm glad I didn't get it!

    @ JO - It's a very weird word, isn't it?

  5. I've got the soap and glory scrublet thing, it feels really nice to use but i haven't actually noticed it making any difference whatsoever to my skin. but still, if it feels good that's a good enough reason to use it :)

  6. this scrublet looks an awful lot like a "fine rubber facial curry" Caswell Massey used to sell a peach colored one

  7. i think this has possibly been the worst product ever for me (except for the scrublet). it's made my skin worse, redder, more rritated and most of all, more blemished. i really only bought this for the scrublet but i used the scrub aswell. yeah it sucked basically
