Palmolive Body Butter Peppermint Crush Exfoliating Body Wash Review

This is an ok body wash. It’s thick like the other body butters but the exfoliating part doesn’t really go together. High on peppermint but doesn’t really go so much with a butter type body wash maybe a shower gel. I don’t think I would buy this one again. It was ok

I got this in a Women's expo goodie bag and have been eager to try it.

I really love the mint scent it's a really refreshing smell for the end of the day when I shower. It's not to over powering its just right. It has exfoliating beads in it which I find are lost and a bit redundant if your putting this product straight on a loofah like I do. So I use another scrub to supplement it which I don't mind as I do have a lot of products building up. I find the bottle quite hard to manage with slippery hands and would much prefer a pump bottle. It lathers really well though and does the job any soap would do. I would buy it again I really do love the scent it's not to fake like a lot of them but I think it would be better without the exfoliating beads.

This stuff smells so amazing it's like bathing in peppermint chocolate and it leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. The bottle is a bit of a pain to get the product out of and you've really got to shake it to get it out after you've used a bit but it's worth it for that smell. Not sure if I'll get it again any time soon but I thought it was worth the money even if it's not a great exfoliant.

I have only tried the sample size of this product, and while I enjoyed the wash itself, I'm on the fence as to whether I'd purchase the full size bottle. The body wash is lovely and creamy so it felt like it moisturised well, and the exfoliating pieces were small and non-abrasive. In fact, probably too soft to do any intense exfoliating - so while this means it definitely could be used everyday, it's main purpose is more of a body wash than an exfoliator.

I loved the scent - it was very minty but also very sweet. It didn't make me feel refreshed like some minty products do, but at the same time the sweet scent wasn't sickly or overwhelming, so I think they struck a good balance scent wise.

The issue however was the bottle - to be fair it was a mini size bottle. But because the wash was so creamy and thick, it was an absolute mission trying to get the product out after only a couple of uses. I felt like I ended wasting about half because I just couldn't get it out of the bottle. While the bigger bottle might be a big softer and more pliable, I'm just not sure about whether to give it a go, because even though it is a great price for the amount of product, there are so many different brands and scents to try.

What is better than a relaxing bath? Enjoying that bath with an amazing body wash.

I received a sample from them via their Facebook page and after one use I bought a full sized bottle. Mainly because I got it on sale for $4.99 at my local New World. You see, just the day before in Pak n Save they had them for $8 - and sorry, but I'm not going to pay $8 for it. Then I'd rather buy something I know I like.

But... I did buy the full sized one and I'm quite satisfied that I did otherwise I would've wanted it each week only to pay the full price and not be entirely happy. Would I repurchase? Probably not, and here's why:

The packaging is awful. You struggle to get the contents out and you have to squeeze really hard - and the bottle is still near full. I honestly don't know how you're going to get it out when it's half or below.

I love the smell of the peppermint, and it stays for a while after your bath/shower. I feel it fits perfectly with my Mane n Tail shampoo. Haha! Yes, I match my shampoo to my body wash. I'm weird like that.

The first thing mum remarked, and which I agree with her to some extent is that it's definitely not suitable for intimate washing.

It does have microbeads in as well (at least that's what they look like) so if you're environmentally conscious I'd suggest you steer clear.

As for it's claims to exfoliate? I'd say it does a 50/50 job at that. I have a loofer which I use and it's quite a hard scrub as opposed to when I wash with another, gentler wash. So it does exfoliate, but I haven't really seen a difference overall.

I'd like to buy the strawberry one next, but I'm still weighing between options as it has quite a lot of cons in my opinion.

This product has a lovely after dinner mint smell and is super creamy with exfoliating beads throughout although I loved the smell I got sick of it fast. Its gentle but does its job and I do like using it on the odd occasion more like a treat but not as a everyday product for me. Packaging is simple but still attracts the eye and describes the product accurately so buyers know exactly what the product wants to achieve and this is something I appreciate because these nothing worse that a misleading product.

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.

Palmolive sets the scent buds on fire with it's peppermint crush body wash, it gently exfoliates while at filling your nose with the smell of something edible, which I must point out is not! The product cleans and exfoliates well however a lot is still left in the container after multiple squeezes to get it out, it is not friendly to eyes should you get a splash back, and does take a wee while to wash completely off your skin. Its presentation is in a simple bottle, nothing really to grip should you get soapy hands on it, though it's plastic film built into the lid saves for those unfortunate spills in the ground. A very well thought out idea. The plastic cap can be hard to flick up and thus ends up breaking. Price bracket is well within what I would expect to pay for this type of product and fits along with its other products in the same brand.

I LOVE the smell of this, its smells edible, but its so hard to get out of the bottle as its such a sticky thick formula. The little beads in it didnt do much, my skin did feel softer but not exfoliated, which was a same. I actually got a trail size from the womans expo so didnt have to pay for it, but I will once its out just for the smell.

I was lucky enough to get a sample of this from Palmolive's facebook page. The product smelt so fresh but also a lot like peppermint cadbury chocolate. Due to the small bottle size, it was really difficult to squeeze the body butter out (maybe a larger bottle would be easier?) but once it was on the shower puff, it was super easy to spread over the body. It really did exfoliate! My skin felt soft and tingly after rinsing. Overall, my experience was 'adequate' but I probably wouldn't purchase it.
