I'm sorry this isn't the rave review that I have been waiting to write. This product just doesn't work for me.
I bought this product straight from the frank website (frankbody.com) for AUD $14.95 plus $4.50 for shipping although if you buy two or more shipping is free. I love the packaging, just a simple bag that lies really flat for shipping but sits up nicely on the shelf in my bathroom. It closes really well at the top so I haven't had any moisture get into it or any spillage problems.
The product itself smells amazing. It helps that I do love coffee itself and its scent too. There is also this fresh citrusy smell along with it which is amazing. My problem with the scent is that most of the time I shower in the evening so I don't really want to be perked up just as I am going to bed.
Now here is where my real problem starts, using the product. They advise that you step out of the shower for a bit to apply, and onto damp skin for it not to be so rough. Cool. So I get in the shower, get my skin wet (sorry to be a bit graphic here), then step out to apply the product. Now my bathroom isn't freezing, but I'm naked in the cool air and I'm getting a bit cold here. I apply the product which is ridiculously crumbly all over my skin, and all over the bath I'm standing in (argh for more cleaning). It's lovely. Smells good, a good scrub, but not to oily. Here is my problem, I am now expected to stand in my bath with this on for the next 5 to 10 minutes for it to dry and do its healing properties on my skin. I'm sorry, it is too cold and too boring to stand in my bath with this on for 10 minutes (or longer!!!!). So for that reason I can't really say whether it does help with stretch marks etc. But in its defence it does make your skin feel ridiculously soft, and moisturised but not oily.
So in some ways this is a winner, a reasonable price, a good scrub, and not to oily. But for me it is just too messy, too hard to apply, and the scent isn't good at night. I won't be repurchasing.
Yes this scrub smells great, yes it makes your skin feel amazing, but that's where it stops for me. I bought this in the hopes it would 'target' my stretch marks and cellulite like it claims. It made no difference whatsoever. I have gone through 3 packets, and will continue to buy it solely for the way it makes my skin feel and the way it exfoliates but i'm not holding my breath for a treatment for my stretch marks and cellulite.
Tips: It's messy so be prepared.
