Formula & Ingredients
The scrub contains three fine sugars combined with Arabica coffee seed powder and coffee grains, creating a textured formula that helps remove dead skin cells. It also includes:
- Caffeine/coffee grains – for an energizing effect
- Sweet almond oil – helps soften and nourish the skin
- Coconut oil – adds a smooth, conditioning feel
- Glycerin – supports moisture retention
The exfoliating particles are promoted as 100% natural-origin exfoliants, though the full formula also contains fragrance and other cosmetic ingredients.
Texture & Scent
The texture is grainy but designed to melt down as water is added. The coffee, coconut, and almond scent profile gives it a warm, sweet, spa-like feel. It is pleasant for users who enjoy gourmet skincare fragrances.
Performance
This scrub works well for:
- Smoothing rough skin texture
- Refreshing dull or tired-looking skin
- Softening lips before lipstick
- Leaving the skin feeling cleaner and polished
It gives an immediate smooth-skin effect, but like most physical scrubs, it should be used gently and not too often.
How to Use
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin using dry fingers. Add warm water and massage gently in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Once the sugar has melted, rinse with lukewarm water.
Recommended use: up to 3 times per week.
Do not use on cracked lips, and avoid contact with the eyes.
Value for Money
At €15.76 for 50 ml, it sits in the mid-range skincare category. The jar is small, but because only a small amount is needed per use, it should last a reasonable amount of time if used a few times weekly.

Final Verdict

Best used gently and sparingly, it is a good choice for normal to dry skin that needs an occasional polishing boost.
