Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the LoWell salt scrub with an average of 4.4 stars. One common complaint is that the sponges need to be washed regularly, which is an additional effort. However, many customers like the great smell and the effective exfoliation provided by the fine grains. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the exfoliation results in a noticeable improvement in skin texture and leaves a pleasant feeling. However, it should be noted that the sponges need to be cleaned regularly to ensure hygiene.

Prices of up to € 240/kg are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €14/kg . The LoWell® peeling is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of € 35.90/kg. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio isreasonable.
