Palmolive Body Butter Peppermint Crush Exfoliating Body Wash Review

I am a sucker for anything peppermint, and so when I saw this new scented body wash from Palmolive, I had to have it. Lucky for me, I received a sample of it, so I was able to try before I buy.

The product is a creamy white consistency, and contains small exfoliating beads, which are evenly spread throughout the product. This product smells like Christmas. Honestly if you love peppermint, you will love the smell of this body wash. It is sweet, and minty and delicious. Yum! The body wash is really creamy which does not dry out my skin. Bonus points.

The product comes in a see through bottle. An aspect I love with my shower products because it lets me keep an eye on how much product I have left, and lets me see the goodness inside. The bottle is shaped nicely, and has soft curves, and gives the idea that it will be really easy to hold and use in the shower. But the design of this bottle is the Achilles heal of this body wash. The product is near impossible to get out of the hard plastic bottle, especially with the small sample bottle, I found I was able to get 1/3 of the product out, and the rest.. well I tried everything, I tried leaving the bottle upside down in the shower, which was hard due the curved lid. I also tried mixing water with the product, which helped but overall, I just got really frustrated with this product, so much in fact, I just gave up and threw it in the bin. Something I never do.

I love the smell of this body wash, and appreciate the exfoliating beads, although I did not find them very effective, but would appreciate their use for those with sensitive skin. If Palmolive redesigned this bottle, I would seriously consider repurchasing this product just for the peppermint lover in me, however until this happens; I will be keeping my distance for this product, and all Palmolive products that are packaged in a similar way.

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.

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 purchased this to use for my morning showers when I feel like I need to wake myself up! The minty smell I thought would be a perfect, relaxing start to the day.

I love the smell, exactly as describe - minty - but it’s not a gross chewing gum or toothpaste minty, but rather an authentic smell.

It is a relatively thick formula that has exfoliating beads - while this is a nice idea, it’s completely gone to waste as the thickness of the cream suffocate the beads and the beads can’t do much exfoliating - if you understand what I mean. Basically the beads won’t exfoliate, they just pop on the skin.

It leaves you feeling nice and clean, and the smell lingers on you for a long time which I appreciate, and it definitely helps make you feel awake.

My issue comes with the bottle. While it is a nice big bottle, with a really good price attached to it, and will last a really long time, it’s also a nice sturdy bottle that will balance on it’s own, I find that the material that the bottle is made out of, is completely useless when trying to squeeze the product out.

Now when the bottle is full, this isn’t really an area of concern, but when you get to half the bottle, or even less than half, it is a complete nightmare and half trying to get that product out. It’s really really difficult to squeeze out, and the thickness of that product doesn’t help at all.

In contrast when you first have the bottle, I find that way too much product comes out! There is no consistency.

I would purchase again, because I love the scent, and I think it works great, but at the same time I wish the bottle would be much more practical.

I've enjoyed using this for quite sometime now. The smell Is just lovely and seem's to stay on my skin long after my shower.

I find with this body wash that It easily lather's and a little goes along way.

After the first use of this product my skin was left feeling relatively soft and smooth. I love that It contain's real little seed's for exfoliation.

The one downfall with this Is most definitely the packaging. At the end of the bottle there Is still a lot of product left at the bottom. Also It's not the easiest to actually get the product out! grrr.

For the price of this body wash Is pretty reasonable for a drug company brand.

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 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 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 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 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.
