I was on the search for a body scrub and saw this Vietnamese coffee scrub. Vietnam is known for their coffee, so I definitely wanted to try this! I also felt extra inclined to support a fellow SEA brand.
**Claims:** It claims to moisturise, improve tone, remove dead cell, and help with stretch marks and other skin texture issues. This definitely did moisturise and remove dead cells for me, but I’m not sure about the other claims. I haven’t been using it for long enough to know but well, it’s a scrub, and it definitely scrubbed so I’m happy with that. And it did it while moisturising my skin.
**Texture:** It was quite moisturising and had a thinner texture for a body scrub. It was really easy to spread the product on my body. It wasn’t at all like the buttery thick type of body scrub that melts away before you can even polish a decent surface area.
**Fragrance:** With it being made from coffee grounds, there was naturally a strong coffee scent. I love the scent of coffee but this scrub brings with it more of a chemical smell(?). I’m not sure how to describe it, but it does get a little bit of getting used to. Overall, I don’t mind the smell and the coffee scent didn’t really linger on my body after washing it off. It does smell a bit like coffee if you really put your nose up to your skin but why would anyone do that.
Naturally with coffee grounds, they clump up and don’t go down easily into the drain. This wasn’t a problem for me in the shower, but do take note if you’re considering getting this! I think as long as you’re using a reasonable amount, it’s not going to cause too much of a problem.
