Utter Waste of Money
I was excited to try this scrub once I started reading some of its many positive reviews. I even signed up for auto-delivery. But then I received my first delivery and tried it. I’m confused about how this has so many positive reviews. This is the worst body scrub I’ve ever tried, by far! I typically love body scrubs whether they’re based w/ sugar, salt, coffee, or just about any exfoliant! I’m not a scrub snob either - I’ve tried tons of different brands and “flavors” and can’t say I have one clear favorite. I’ve used and loved niche natural brands from health food stores, ritzy expensive spa-type brands from dept stores and boutiques, and cheap brands from the drugstore equally. I’ve used scrubs that cost $48 for a smallish tub (yikes!) but had just as excellent results from ones that cost $5 for a huge tub of the stuff. I’ve used brands that rinsed clean and other brands that were so oily I had to use a wooden spoon to stir the separated oils back in to the mixture. I found some quality I liked about every scrub I can remember trying - until this one. This scrub has natural ingredients and I love that! But aside from that I don’t see any real advantages or benefits to this product. I swear my container of this scrub had the oddest consistency I’ve ever encountered! It was like an important ingredient was missing because this was like a tub of flaky, dry salt or sugar. I actually started trying to dig deep into the tub to mix the product, erroneously thinking maybe there was a layer of oil or moisture in the bottom of the container. There wasn’t. It’s just a tub of sandy, dry bits. Period. This product didn’t moisturize at all and it wasn’t even particularly smoothing. I had a hard time patting it on my wet/damp skin, truth be told. Again, I’ve tried scrubs that were on the drier side and enjoyed them. But this was bone dry! I think scrubbing myself with the contents of a sugar bowl would’ve been more effective. This didn’t exfoliate well, had zero moisturizing properties, and had no scent, pleasant or otherwise. It was a disappointing, very odd waste of money and time. I immediately canceled my subscribe and save subscription. Big thanks to Amazon for making THAT part easy, at least. And I’m also very relieved I bought this for what’s listed as the “sale price” as opposed to the laughable, listed suggested retail price. I’ll NEVER buy this again and will avoid the brand as a whole.
