Palmolive Body Butter Peppermint Crush Exfoliating Body Wash Review

I got this after liking the sample I was sent even though I had to do superhuman acts of squeezing to get it out of the bottle. This is a very thick body buttery shower gel and is hard to squeeze out of the bottle. Once it's out there is a peppermint smell but I don't find it overly fragranced and it's definitely not enough to wake me up in the morning. The bits in it are slightly exfoliating but not overly so. This leaves me feeling clean but I'm not overly fussed on it so I wont be replacing it once it runs out.

I was really excited to try this-the thought of peppermint as a body scrub interested me. I bought it at Pak n Save for $7.99. The bottle looked really sleek and sexy, much like the product. However, the bottle design does not allow the product to come out very easily as there is one of those rubber stoppers in the lid so when tipped nothing will escape. I had to strain my power grip to get any resemblance of the product out and when I did that the rubber thing would suck half of it back into the bottle. The scrub beads are small and I thought there could've been larger pieces in it, or more of it. The scrub is more of a thick moisturiser/butter consistency than a shower gel. After a minute or so the peppermint smell goes and I could smell more of a shea/cocoa butter smell. I wasn't left with the smell on my skin either. I don't think for the price this is that I will likely buy this again.

I absolutely adore this! Well, not the bottle so much - it's kinda hard to get the product out. I think it smells amazing! I will buy this over and over again. Doesn't dry out my skin. Makes it look very polished and the smelllllll! Anything minty I LOVE! I would like it if the smell were just a tiny bit stronger. I already put peppermint oil at the bottom of my shower so for me that kinda helps LOL.

Total rethink of the packaging needs to happen though. Especially for the price.

Overall I will buy it again :)

I recently received a sample of this in the mail. At first I thought it was the cutest sample ever. I love miniature products which are great for traveling! The smell of this is so divine. If your a sucker for minty products than this scent is defiantly for you. I have always liked buying and using Palmolive products as to me they are a family brand which I know and trust.

I took this on holiday with me last weekend. I was so excited to use this. Ok, First attempt - The product came out of the bottle so easily. I have super sensitive skin and I thought that because this is by the brand Palmolive that I probably wouldn't have a bad reaction, but oh boy was I wrong! Due to the body wash being a Peppermint scent it set my skin off big time. A burning, hot sensation, red skin etc. It was not fun at all. It took a while for my skin to come right after that. This is definably not a good product for sensitive skin.

The body wash itself feels like a paste / cream. The texture is really strange, not a fan of this texture at all especially for a body wash. The scent however, I will give a 100/100 for that. I absolutely adore the peppermint smell.

Attempt 2 - I told my partner to finish off the bottle. This time it is near IMPOSSIBLE to get any product out. We both tried squeezing the bottle and it kept slipping and now I have sore hands. So basically you cant get any product out the second time unless you cut the bottle (if possible).

Overall I am disappointed because I had high expectations because this is by Palmolive, the difficulty of the packaging and the bad reaction I experienced. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing the full size of this body wash

I received a sample of this in the mail and I really love the smell of it and the packaging looks quite attractive. I found that when I applied it to the skin it felt very nourishing. It had soft beads in it which didn't really seem to exfoliate the skin.

It is extremely hard to get out of the bottle. It came out the first time with no problems but then the second time I had to really squeeze and tip it upside down and bang it. I ended up cutting the top and using it like that.

I purchased this with my grocery shopping as it was on sale so thought I’d give it a go as I loved the minty smell. The bottle is a good size and easy to hold however the product doesn’t come out so easily you need to give it a really good squeeze and then end up with way too much product – which has caused bubbles come up through the drain on my bathroom floor lol.

The product is nice and thick more like a thick body milk/butter. I wouldn’t call so much a scub as the beads are rather small and I personally don’t think they have any effect unless you’re using exfoliating mitts. It smells nice and you get the minty fragrance initially but it’s not long lasting.

I haven’t found that it dries my skin out which is a bonus. But I don’t think I will buy it again once I have finished this bottle as this product did not leave me feeling fresh and cleansed as one would imaging after using a “mint” product.

I have super sensitive and problematic skin (prone to ezcema and dermatitis flare ups and reactions) so I generally only use natural soap bars that have only all natural oils to avoid irritation. I bought this to put in our shower for my partner as he is not a massive fan of the fruity smelling ones so I though a peppermint body butter might be up his alley and as I was almost finished by soap bar I thought I would try this to. I do like the look of the Palmolive Body Butter bottle but unforutanately practicality wise its not that well designed. You did have to squeeze it fairly firmly to get product out and sort of half way through the bottle it became near impossible to get anything out of it. The only way you would get to use up all of this product is by turning it upside down but unfortunately its lid design doesn’t allow you to do that without some assistance. You would risk a bit of wastage with this product. I did love the smell of this , peppermint always smells so clean and fresh and both me and my partner were really happy in this regards. It had quite a thick consistency which I actually really enjoyed it definitely felt more like a body butter than a body wash so I was very happy with this. The little beads for exofialtion were very small and gentle on the skin which as it said did leave my skin feeling very soft and smooth. It didn’t cause me any irritation or problems which was a bonus. I probably wouldn’t buy this again only because of the difficulty in getting this product out I think if they redesigned it to be a hanging upside down type of one I would definitely be interested in purchase again. I also probably wouldn’t recommend for the same reason above – too much product wastage.

I received a sample size of this in the mail from Palmolive. From the first time I had heard about it, I was excited. I love mint smells and I thought this would be so lovely to use in the morning to perk me up a little!

I couldn't wait to use it, the smell is amazing. It is minty but not like toothpaste, it's just fresh and a really nice change to my usual sweeter body wash scents. It is quite a thick cream with little 'bits' in it. I use one of those cloth scrub things and I didn't really notice any extra exfoliation from the beads though. A small amount lathers up really well and I felt nice and clean after using it. I still needed to use lotion afterwards though, I wouldn't say that my skin felt more moisterised than what it would if I used any other body wash.

My biggest pet hate of this was the bottle itself. It's ok to squeeze the first little bit out but unless you can store the bottle upside down it is pretty much impossible to get out. also the design of the bottle means it can't sit upside by itself anyway. Having heard that the fullsize bottle is exactly the same means I won't be purchasing it until they sort it out. I think the smell is so good though, that I will wait for them to change it as I do really want to use it again!

This body was was a great price, and smelled absoloutely amazing. It had a mild exfoliant factor however could probably have been a bit coarser to be counted as a scrub. It was also rather a thick consistency...

I did really like this body wash until i had a reaction (my body doesnt like soaps much) and realised it actually contained parabens which i am beating down on at the moment because my skin really has a bad time with the harshness of soaps and chemicals...

Though for those who don't mind all that stuff it is an awesome delish smelling body wash/scrub and i do reccommend you try it at least once
