Palmolive Body Butter Peppermint Crush Exfoliating Body Wash Review

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

I received a sample from a Countdown promotion. I tried it in the shower and it smelled lovely, nice and pepperminty, quite a thick formula but not enough gritty seeds to really exfoliate the skin. It left my skin nice-smelling and smooth. Reasonably priced from the supermarket. The material the bottle is made of makes it very hard to squeeze out the last drops of body butter. I would recommend the product but not the packaging, which is poorly designed, so for this reason I am not going to buy the full-size version.

I originally bought this product just after it was released. I absolutely love mint and a genuine minty fragrance. I thought this would be perfect to use for my morning showers when I feel like I need to wake myself up! The minty smell I thought would be a refreshing, perfect start to the day. The fragrance definitely leaves you feeling nice and clean, and the smell lingers and it definitely helps make you feel awake. The fragrance gets a definite 5 out of 5 from me.

The product is a creamy white consistency, and contains very small exfoliating beads. The beads appear to be evenly spread throughout the product. If you enjoy a mint fragrance, you will love the smell of this body wash. It is fresh and minty. The body wash is really thick white and creamy which did not dry out my skin but rather seemed to moisturise it as I used the exfoliator in the shower. I must add here that because the cream is so thick the presence of the beads is barely felt. I did not feel as if I had used an exfoliating cream but rather a body cream. The appearance of the cream gets a 5/5 from me, the feel of the cream and the moisturising abilities a 4/5. It is the thickness of the cream that I feel inhibits the beads from doing their job effectively so I would give the exfoliating factor a rather sad 3/5.

The product comes in a see through bottle; it is a nice big bottle. The price is very affordable and you feel like you are getting a bargain when you pick up the bottle as it is nicely shaped, with gentle curves and it is made with what appears to be very thick, sturdy, expensive, luxurious clear plastic. The bottle gives the perception that it will be easy to use. This is where the problem begins. My issue is with the thick hard plastic that the bottle is made of. Whilst it is easy to use the initial few “squirts” from the bottle it them becomes damn near impossible!!! Not matter how I shook, threw, jerked, squeezed or squashed the bottle is securely held its contents, much like Aladdin’s cave did not want to give up its treasures this bottle held onto its exfoliating lotion. (And yes I even tried open sesame along with many other words as I desperately tried to get the lotion out of the bottle!) I must say I contemplated cutting it open, throwing it away or just letting the kids have it! For the appearance of the bottle I would give it a 4/5. For the ease of use of the bottle an incredibly sad 1/5.

I recently went to a womans lifestyle expo and found a minature bottle of this in my gift bag when I got home. The minty smell was amazing but as an exfoliant I found it the body wash to be quite mild. I also found when using this product my skin dried out more than usual, which I wasn't expecting considering I thought this was a body butter. Overall I was a little disappointed with the product given how amazing it smelt.

I tried this in a small sample bottle. It was a 48ml mini bottle. I used it a couple of times when I showered. I flicked open the lid and had to really squeeze it and pretty much shake the product out. Once I got the product out, it was a creamy consistency and definitely smelt like Peppermint, as I sampled the Peppermint Crush exfoliating body wash with peppermint extracts. I felt it didn't exfoliate my skin that well although, I did feel fresh afterwards. It does smell quite nice. All in all, I thought this product was alright but I wouldn't rush out and buy it full size anytime soon.

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 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 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!

I have recently tried this body wash, and it smells really amazing, and I found it not to be drying on my skin. However it is a very thick formula, and very hard to get out of the bottle. It requires a lot of hard squeezing to get a small amount out. But once it is out, it is really fresh and lovely. It cleanses well.
