VLCC Gold Scrub With Gold Leaf| Review

If you are looking for a mild scrub suitable for frequent use then VLCC Gold Scrub With Gold Leaf is definitely a good option for you. Our love for gold is well known so when it came about picking up a scrub for myself, I picked this face scrub. Buying it was a wise decision and in this post I am reviewing it 🙂

About the product: This gel based face scrub is suitable for all skin types. It helps retain the glow of the facial skin by removing the dead cells and other skin problems like black heads, white heads etc. Turmeric is abundant in anti-oxidantion properties which helps fight all skin problems and brings a glow to the skin. Gold is the source of multiple solutions for skin problems. The face scrub combines the benefits of these two ingredients to provide a product that helps give you an blemish-free radiant look.

Dust, pollution and sun exposure renders skin dull and lifeless, which cannot be revived only through everyday cleansing. Hence, scrubbing is an essential skin care method to bring back the glow to the face by removing the dead cells. The gold scrub helps your exfoliate your skin properly and reveals a fresher and younger looking skin. It has a mild fragrance which will not overpower your senses in case you like your beauty products odor free.

How to use it: Take an appropriate amount and apply all over face and neck with wet fingertips. Scrub for a few minutes with circular & outward strokes to exfoliate impurities. Rinse off thoroughly.

Packaging: The gold scrub is packaged in a bendable tube with a transparent plastic tube The packaging’s understated design allows for easy mobility, ensuring a smooth travel experience free of any inconvenience caused by spilling or leakage. Notably, the tube’s design prioritises hygiene, which is very important for a skincare item. The packaging’s simple, user-friendly, and hygienic qualities have all made a lasting positive impact.

My opinion about the product: The scrub’s formulation, infused with delicate gold-like particles, glided smoothly across my skin, creating a pampering sensation. One of the first things I noticed about the scrub was how gentle it was. Exfoliating products are frequently harsh and abrasive, leaving the skin red and inflamed. This scrub, on the other hand, took a different strategy. Before applying the scrub, I made sure my face was thoroughly washed, which I believe was critical in increasing the scrub’s efficiency. I was glad to discover that it did not feel harsh when applied. 

Another appealing feature was the scent of the scrub. The combination of turmeric and sandalwood gave it a distinct and pleasant aroma, adding to the whole sensory experience. The aroma gave a relaxing element to the procedure as I slowly massaged the scrub over my skin for a few minutes.

Rinsing off the scrub with water after application was simple and left no residue. After the scrub, I finished with a splash of cool rose water, which felt like the perfect way to end my beauty routine. The immediate effect was undeniable: my skin felt extraordinarily smooth and looked radiant. The glow it gave me was a nice touch that boosted my confidence.

It’s worth mentioning, though, that the glow was just ephemeral, lasting only a day. This is to be expected from most skincare products, as long-term effects usually necessitate constant use. It’s noteworthy that the scrub didn’t create any breakouts on my sensitive skin, which is frequently a concern when experimenting with new products. Furthermore, the scrub cleansed without depleting my skin of moisture, which may be a difficult balance for those with oily skin.

Finally, I was pleased with the performance of this scrub. It was able to meet the needs of my sensitive and oily skin without producing any side effects. Its mild exfoliation, mixed with the relaxing turmeric and sandalwood smell, made for an enjoyable skincare session. While the glow was ephemeral, I understand that continued use would likely produce longer-lasting results. If you’re looking for a scrub that’s gentle on your skin while providing a quick but noticeable radiance, this one might be the one.

What I like about the product…

What I do not like about the product…

Glow lasts for a day.
