I've already gone through a pot of Pivoine Sublime Perfecting cream, which had a perfect texture and one of the best scent I've ever encountered, but unfortunately, long-term it just didn't work that well with my skin. Despite that, when L'Occitane expanded their Peony range with a micellar water and perfecting scrub, I was intrigued by both, especially after reading good reviews about it. But now that I've had this scrub for quite some time I'm still having problems including it into my routine because it's rather a strange mix of products.

Texture: the name doesn't imply it, but it's an oily cleansing scrub. Is similar to Clarins' Pure Melt Cleansing Gel except it has exfoliating beads in it. It starts as a gel and once you rub it on the skin, it turns into an oil. With water it emulsifies just like most cleansing oils, but the beads are regular and don't melt. It's neither a strong nor a weak scrub, but I prefer my scrubs to be strong, so already it's not ideal for me. I wish it had more beads, but for most it will be fine. I use a cloth to wipe it off, though it doesn't leave that much of a filter if you just rinse it off.
Effectiveness: It's all documented on the pictures, but it removes the foundation and most of the makeup, however, mascara and very pigmented matte liquid lipsticks are already a challenge. This isn't the best makeup remover or a cleanser on its own, so you'll need to do a double cleanse. It doesn't make the vision foggy despite being oil-base...
