REVIEW: Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream

This is by far the most expensive shower gel (not a gel actually, more like a cream) that I’ve ever had, although I wouldn’t say it is by far the best one I’ve ever had, but it definitively makes top 5.

In Germany it costs 32 EUR but I in U.S.A. I found it with 26.50 DOLLARS. 😐 I don’t know what’s the deal, but anyway, it is an expensive product.

Pros

The best thing about it is the action it has on the body. It really (but really) makes the skin smooth. Its consistency is the best of any other exfoliating cream I’ve ever used. The exfoliating grains are perfect (as number, density and size) and they blend perfectly with the cream.

Also, I believe that for people with mild acneea or blackheads on the back, this product would be good, since it is so smoothing. It really leaves a sparkling skin (without actually containing any glitter)!

Cons

For me there are 3 things that will not make me repurchase the product. If it would had been only one of the three, instead of all of them, I would have repurchased it.

It is too expensive
It is not BIO
I don’t like the smell (but this is a personal opinion)

Maybe if it was just like it is, but cheaper, I would definitely repurchase it. Or if it was BIO, maybe this would be the perfect excuse for its price. Or, of course, if it would have a great great smell, I would have repurchased it.

Conclusions

It is, for sure, a premium quality product. I’ve read some reviews on their site and, if they were written by real customers and not written by Clinique’s own staff, people seem to really like it. I will not repurchase it, but I did recommend it to a friend.
