First, congratulations to Lisa whose email address begins with “cc”, the winner of the Lady Vengeance eau de parfum purse spray giveaway! Woo hoo! And thank you to all who entered. If you didn’t win, I hope you’ll enter the new giveaway in this post 🙂
In the winter, skin needs more than a little TLC. MyChelle’s Sweetness & Light Skin Refining Beauty Duo definitely helps me beef up my skincare routine.
Back in October, I received several products from MyChelle’s pumpkin collection, and I received the Refining Sugar Cleanser in the box of goodies. So I’ve been using this half of the duo for several months now, and I love it. But since I already have a tube of this little wonder, I can give away the new tube that I received to one lucky reader. Stay tuned for more info below.
I discovered MyChelle Skincare at Whole Foods several years ago. I picked up a number of their serums, and I liked them a lot. Last summer, I was sent 3 different sunscreens to try out, and I loved them so much I used them up (reviewed here). Sun Shield Unscented and the Sun Shield Coconut scented were my favorites. I will buy more of them next summer for sure because they are physical sunblocks made from natural ingredients and they’re lightweight and pleasant to wear.
The pumpkin skincare products I got in the fall are lovely (reviewed here). In fact, I use the delicious pumpkin-scented Creamy Pumpkin Cleanser every night. It’s so creamy and soothing, the perfect everyday winter cleanser for my dry skin.
Sweetness & Light Skin Refining Beauty Duo
I use the Refining Sugar Cleanser a couple of times a week. It’s a terrific multi-tasker because it’s an exfoliator and cleanser in one. Refining Sugar Cleanser is a white gel-cream with good size sugar crystals, not tiny but not huge, and they really do the trick. The cleanser has a lovely, mild but sweet sugar scent. The crystals melt as I massage and make circles on my face, and then I rinse. My face feels so soft and smooth. Love it. The smooth plastic tube contains 3.5 fl. oz./104 ml, and it has lasted me for several months and there’s still plenty left. You only need a small amount, so it’s a very good value at $25. I often follow it up with Advanced Argan Oil.
Unfortunately, I don’t have an extra Advanced Argan Oil to give away because I just have the one to review. And you’d have to pry this Advanced Argan Oil from my cold dead hand! 😆 If you haven’t tried argan oil, it is a natural oil that is derived from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree. There’s a food grade version, but this is the cosmetic version that’s fabulous for hydrating skin, hair and nails. What makes me ADORE this argan oil is that it sinks in within a few minutes and the oiliness almost completely disappears. I’d call this a dry oil. It leaves my skin incredibly soft and smooth. Love this argan oil! I haven’t found anything like it yet!
MyChelle Advanced Argan Oil comes in a heavy white glass bottle with a fabulous plastic pump. Most argan oils comes with a dropper, and the pump is sooooooo much cleaner and easier to use! If you are looking to try argan oil, THIS IS THE ONE TO TRY!!!
USDA-certified, Baobab-enhanced Argan oil with essential fatty acids and vitamin E, it conditions with mega-moisture. It’s a lightweight clear oil, and it’s scent free. Price $15 for 1 fl. oz.

I have the Incredible Pumpkin Peel too. Gotta remember to use it! Thanks for reminding me 🙂 MyChelle’s product are so nice and a good value for what you get. I think you’d like the Refining Sugar Cleanser/exfoliator. Thanks for entering, Laura, and good luck 🙂
After your incredibly good review of This cleanser and their other products from My Chelle I can’t help but want try them.
They’re both great! But I’m sure you’d like the Refining Sugar Cleanser. Thanks for entering, Christy, and good luck!
I’m always on the look out for a good cleanser. From what you said, this is the one to try!!
A cleanser with benefits, Julie! Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
I would LOVE to try this out. Your reviews are always great. Love the details and pics, etc. Down to earth w/o bull. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Leeann! Good luck in the drawing 🙂
Very welcome!! Thank you. Fingers crossed
🙂
This is a great review and a better giveaway, Allison. I’m in Canada so I don’t get the opportunity to enter or I would be all over this. I’ll look out for this brand for the sunscreens, do they feel heavy and sit on top of the skin?
Shireen L. Platt recently posted…SILK’N SILHOUETTE The Ultimate Body Contouring System ~ The Final Check-in (10 weeks)
Oh, I feel bad about that Shireen, but that Canadian postage!! The argan oil really sinks in and leaves. smooth soft skin. Love it
Sounds like a nice little duo and you seem very excited about the Argan Oil, of course we want to try now lol.
Heather, just to be clear, the giveaway is only the Refining Sugar Cleanser but it’s still a beauty of a multitasking cleanser/exfoliator! Thanks for entering and good luck
Oooohhh Ok, sorry – my bad.
No problem, just wanted to be sure you were OK with the cleanser 😉
Ohhh, I love sugar cleansers!!! I use the sugar mask from Freeman and I love the soft scrubby feel of the sugar crystals.
Kat Dinges recently posted…Studio Gear Cosmetics – Velvety Matte Lipstick
I haven’t tried the Freeman mask but that’s a great description of how this cleanser/exfoliator feels, Kat!
The sugar cleanser sounds like just the thing my skin needs. I’m always onthe lookout for a good exfoliate/cleanser.
It’s a lovely multitasking product, Rosie. I know you’d like it. Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
I love exfoliant/cleanser combinations, and this one sounds really lovely! I love Argan Oil, and this one really sounds fantastic. Like you, I like oils to sink in completely without leaving your face covered in an oil slick! Excellent review, as always Allison!
Lola Seicento recently posted…TATCHA SILKEN Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35
The Refining Sugar Cleanser is so clean and sweet. And the argan oil really dries cleaner than the others I’ve tried. Happy me!
I’ve tried sugar scrubs for my body, but not one for the face. Sounds like a winner! I love Argan oil, but sometimes find it to be too heavy. Sounds like this is a good formulation for a lighter touch.
Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…My Curls Are Ready To Party! #royallockshaircare
Both products are lovely! I really like MyChelle skincare and these are two more examples of why I do
Both of these sound terrific. Your statement that we’d have to pry the Argan Oil out of your hands speaks for itself. I like the sound of the sugar cleanser too.
MarciaF recently posted…The Woman’s Wakeup book review and RoC skincare giveaway
It’s true, I adore the argan oil because it dries clean, but the cleanser/exfoliator is lovely too 🙂
I love the scrub has smallish crystals so it is not to rough on your skin! I would love to try this, thanks for the giveaway!
It’s a really nice multitasker, Amanda. Glad you entered!
I have not tried a sugar cleanser yet. Can it be used with a brush system or is it best used by hand? You have me curious which makes me really want to try this product from MyChelle.
Mary, I haven’t tried using the Refining Sugar Cleanser with either my Michael Todd brush or my Foreo Luna. I’ve only used my hands because I feel it’s gentler and I can control it better. One of these days, I’ll try it with the brush and report back! But thanks for entering and good luck in this one!
Both of these products sound incredible! You made me laugh out loud at prying the oil out of your cold dead hand!! I don’t go to Whole Foods often, but will remember to look at this line the next time I’m there.
Stacie recently posted…Makeup Tips to Complement Winter Fashion
LOL! I really love this Argan Oil, Stacie! And the cleanser/exfoliator is pretty great too
I need to see if my Whole Foods carries their coconut Sun Shield!! Thanks for the intro to the brand, I hadn’t heard of them but I’m definitely interested now 🙂
Chelsea recently posted…MAC Flamingo Park Collection | Review & Swatches
I looooooved the Coconut Sun Shield. I used that one up first. The scent, yum! And lightweight too
Ooh give me everything! The cleanser sounds like everything, and so does the argan oil.
Kim recently posted…S’mores Arancini using Success® Jasmine Rice {recipe}
The skincare duo from MyChelle really is a winner! I love every one of their products so far
The cleanser sounds amazing, great giveaway!
Cindy (Prime Beauty) recently posted…New! Urban Decay X Gwen Stefani Blush Palette
It really is a great little multitasker!
The cleanser and exfoliator in one product sounds good to me! One less step in the skincare regimen.
I agree, though I don’t use it every single night on my sensitive skin. I love the sweet, sugary smell and it does a great job exfoliating. Thanks for entering, Susan! good luck
The cleanser sounds amazing!!! Would love to find a great exfoliator too! Thank you for the giveaway!!
So Refining Sugar Cleanser is a cleanser and sugar-based exfoliator in one! It’s pretty cool! I don’t use it every day because it’s too much for my sensitive dry skin, but 2-3 times a week, it’s just great! Thanks Teresa for entering! good luck
I really need a good exfoliating wash, I like that MyChelle has good sized crystals that melt and won’t get into my skin.
I don’t use it everyday, Annamarie, because I have sensitive skin. But I love using it 2-3 times a week. Thank you for entering and good luck 🙂
I heard so many great things about MyChelle skincare but haven’t tried anything myself.
I think you’d like it, Anastasia. The sunscreens are great for the summer, too.
I would love to win this awesome MyChelle Refining Sugar Cleanser because I heard many great comments but never tried it!
I am following You on twitter @carabao62
Thank You for the chance
Thanks, Fiona! Refining Sugar Cleanser smells so good too! thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
I’ve never tried MyChelle products but I just found out foaming cleansers are a bad idea for acne-prone skin like mine, so I’m working on making everything non-foaming (alkaline). This sounds ideal and mild!
Renu recently posted…Benefit Roller Lash Mascara Review, Results
Very interesting info, Renu. I didn’t know that non-foaming cleansers were alkaline!
I would like to win because I am still searching for the perfect cleanser.
Refining Sugar Cleanser with its exfoliating sugar crystals would be a good one to add to your arsenal, Holly! Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
The Argan oil sounds great. I have a sugar cleanser too that I received from a beauty box subscription and the few times I’ve used it it seems to work nicely.
Kristina recently posted…Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara
They’re both lovely products. Used the argan oil on my nails last night and I give it a thumb’s up!
I think that cleanser sounds awesome and I’m always a fan of a good Argan oil.
Honeygirlk recently posted…Stronger, Healthier, Longer Hair For The New Year – Hair Care With Moroccanoil
Both of these MyChelle products are winners!
I haven’t tried this brand yet, but I love the idea of the Sugar Cleanser. I get dull skin easily so anything that exfoliates is a plus.
Bailey recently posted…Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks
I hope they sell MyChelle in Canada, Bailey. It’s such a wonderful, affordable, natural brand with organic ingredients. I love it!
Sugar scrubs are SO good! It can be hard to find a really nice and gentle scrub especially for you face but I find I can’t live without exfoliating. Great giveaway!
Elaine recently posted…The Knot Dr. PhD Hybrid Styler
This sweet scent of the sugar scrub adds to the whole experience too!
This sounds like the perfect duo for my skin! I’ve been looking for both, a good cleanser and scrub.
Haha, that’s great, DeAnna! It is definitely a 2-in-1 product! thanks for entering and good luck!
I would love to try this new cleanser, I’m not happy with the one I have been using and am actively looking for something to replace it
I think you’d enjoy the MyChelle Refining Sugar Cleanser, Veronica. It’s a good product to use as a cleanser/exfoliator a couple of times a week or more depending on your skintype. Thank you for entering the giveaway and good luck!
Always looking for a new cleanser! This sounds lovely
Lisa Heath recently posted…Moo Moo Signatures Paris Est Un Enchantement Duo
The entire MyChelle skincare line is wonderful, and I love the sweet sugar scent of the cleaner/exfoliator!
Great review on this product and good luck to the winner of this giveaway! 🙂

Thanks 🙂
This sounds like such an awesome product. I would love to win because of all of the awesome ingredients it contains and I think it would be very helpful for my skin!
I agree, Starla. It does have a good ingredient list. MyChelle is a wonderful skincare line especially for those of us who are trying to use more natural products with organic ingredients in our routines. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I’ve never heard about Mychelle before but they look like amazing products. I’m curious about the cleanser xo
Brigette Ramos recently posted…Here’s What I Got in My Influenster Jingle VoxBox | Review and First Impressions
The entire MyChelle product line is terrific, Brigette. As I mentioned, I’m a big fan of their sunscreens too. Has Whole Foods come to HI? If so, MyChelle should be stocked there
I would love to try this product. Exfoliating and cleansing are important daily steps in my skin care regimen.
True, true! Thank you, Patricia, for entering and good luck 🙂
I’m trying to go towards vegan and cruelty-free products.
MyChelle is cruelty-free, and they have lots of vegan options. I’m not 100% positive that this product is vegan but it could be. I looked at their website but it doesn’t say. But it does say this and it sounds good to me: “anti-aging ingredients Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 and Crocus Chrysanthus Bulb Extract to reduce wrinkle volume and rebuild collagen and elastin. Infused with the irresistible aroma of natural Vanilla extract.”
I’ve never heard of an actual sugar cleanser– and it sounds intriguing! thanks !oxxo

Yes, you can make your own sugar scrubs, but this one is so lovely there’s no need to. Thanks for entering, Courtney, and good luck!
I have diabetic dry skin & I’m always trying new skincare products to see if they help. I’d love to give this a try. It sounds great to me!
Tamra, I just saw a new product advertised on TV from Gold Bond for diabetic skin. It was a body moisturizer, I think. Have you tried it yet? MyChelle Refining Sugar Cleanser is a something I use a couple of times a week on my face for exfoliation. It’s a natural, cruelty-free product with real sugar crystals that melt with water. I love the sweet scent. Hope you’d like it too. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I haven’t tried that Gold Bond. Thanks for telling me about it!
You’re welcome, Tamra. I hope it turns out to be helpful
I want to try it because the multi tasker product sounds so wonderful!
MyChelle Refining Sugar cleanser is a good one! Thanks for entering, Joti, and good luck 🙂
This stuff sounds almost good enough to eat!
Yum. Almost, Kelly! Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
I have recently take a big interest in my skincare. Got to start early, right?
Absolutely! Never too early for a good cleanser/exfoliator! Thanks for entering, Meegan, and good luck!
I would like to try MyChelle. I’ve never used anything from MyChelle. I’ve also never used a sugar cleanser, and so that would be great.
MyChelle is a terrific natural, cruelty free brand. I know you’d love it. Thanks for entering, Kathy, and good luck 🙂
My skin NEEDS it!
Everyone needs a good exfoliator! Thanks for entering, Ashley, and good luck!
I love the thought of the Sugar Scrub! An Exfoliator and a cleanser in one sounds like the perfect time saver for me! Plus, I’ve never heard of MyChelle!
Rachel Beltz recently posted…Fall 2014 – 2D Design – Piece 5
MyChelle is a really good, natural, cruelty-free brand, Rachel. I’ve reviewed a bunch of their products and they are all winners! Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
This is such a great review I want to try. What I’m using now isn’t giving me the results that I need.
MyChelle Refining Sugar Cleanser with its exfoliating properties from sugar crystals is lovely. I use it on my sensitive skin a couple times a week. Thanks for entering, Michelle, and good luck 🙂
I would so love to try! The Refining Sugar Cleanser sounds so good to me! I love that it is an exfoliator and cleanser all in one! That is great!
It’s a good multitasker, Ysenia! thanks for entering and good luck!
Great review! I struggle with eczema and am always looking for gentle products. I would love to try this.
Using warm water helps melt the crystals and make it comfortable. I use Refining Sugar Cleanser twice a week on my sensitive skin. Thank you, Natasha, for entering and good luck!
Thanks! I will definately try that.
