I received this as part of the product review club. I have used this scrub for about 2 weeks, and I do really like it. There is no strong scent, my skin feels nice after using and I do notice a brightness aftrewards. I have mixed feelings about it, however, as I try to avoid products with microbeads, because of their impact on the environment. For only this reason, I may not purchase it again, but I did really like how my skin felt!
I have been using this product along with the Thermale Fresh Gel Cleanser with great results. I exfoliate twice a week with it and this product is gentle yet effective. It is scent free and good on sensitive skin. My only critique would be that its not a large amount of product and I will run out of this product long before I run out of the Gel Cleanser and it would be nice to have them in similar sized containers. I will continue to use these products in the future.
Once again Vichy has made a great product! This scrub leaves my skin refreshed and smooth and it smells fantastic. I love that it is gentle on my skin.
each time i use the Vichy Pureté Thermale Skin Renewing Creamy Scrub my skin felt soft and renew, feels really refresh. rubbing the microbeads around my face felt great, could feel it removing my dead skin around my face. i have a back heads, this scrub seems to help get rid and prevent from coming back. this product doesn't irritate my skin at all. would recommend and keep on using it.
I received this product free from chick advisor for testing and reviewing purposes. This face scrub is awesome!! I love how refreshed and clean it leaves my skin without any irritation. I have acne prone skin and this didn't affect my skin at all. The beads in the scrub just disappear when rubbing on your face and it also smells really good. I would definitely be buying again.
I use this Vichy Pureté Thermale Skin Renewing Creamy Scrub once a week and it does not in-comfort my skin but just a little rub make my face smooth and shine, i will definitely recommend it.

I love the scent and how the scrub leave my skin feeling soft and refreshed.
Its not a harsh product all and I really enjoy it :)
This product is recommended for use once a week. I don't think I would use it more than that. The creamy portion of it was great but the 'scrub' part...not so much. I liked the product for it's overall feel but I found the microbeads a bit harsh for my sensitive skin. I also found my skin a little dry after I used this. Still, the negatives aside, it was a decent product and my skin felt renewed (after a good moisturizer!). My daughters' had better success. A teen and a 'tween both tried this and felt their skin was much better after each use. They did not have the drying problem I had (their skin is not as sensitive as mine) and I noticed a marked improvement in my 'tween daughter's skin. For those reasons, I would recommend this product.
I received this product from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club. I've been having a dry skin bout recently, and this doesn't seem to irritate it, which is good. I think the Pureté Thermale is designed for sensitive skin in mind, so that is a definite benefit. However, it also doesn't exfoliate as much as other heavier scrubs. I also used the older version of this scrub, and it doesn't seem that much different. At first, I was concerned about the microbeads in this (as they wreak havoc on the environment, and the older one certainly had microbeads), but according to the Vichy website, these are eco-friendly and are made from jojoba oil, but I can't seem to find information on whether the beads are biodegradable - if you are eco-conscious, be cautious of this. I am happy that they did kinda upgrade the formula though. Similar to other scrubs that are geared more towards dry skin, this doesn't leave my face feeling stripped of moisture, though I think there are other less expensive scrubs out there that leave my skin feeling more moisturized. If you use cleansers and scrubs that foam, this can be a little strange. It does spread pretty well though.
Also, this is only 75 ml, which I guess is good for portability, but most scrubs tend to have more like 150ml, which makes twice as expensive per ml.
If would advise maybe getting this for sensitive, and maybe older skin, as there aren't too many bells and whistles with this, and it leaves the skin not stripped of moisture. This didn't make my dry spots go away, but it didn't irritate them. Still, I caution against the microbeads in this, as it is uncertain whether they are biodegradable.
