  Maybe I got a bad batch.

  by SJofAZ (44 reviews)

  

  I was very excited to see this on Sephora's website. I love the scent of coconut, and thought that it would be a nice scrub for summer. When I opened the jar, I was not impressed with the scent.

December 7, 2007, 8:33 am I was very excited to see this on Sephora's website. I love the scent of coconut, and thought that it would be a nice scrub for summer. When I opened the jar, I was not impressed with the scent. Something about it seemed... off. It almost smelled as if it had gone, well, not quite rancid, but just on the verge of rancid. Thinking that it just needed to be mixed and that the scent would improve in the shower, I decided to use it anyway. The scent improved a little, but it never became that tasty coconut scent that I was after. It still softened like Philosophy scrubs do, but I will pass on ever buying this particular scent again.

  No more reptile legs!

  by elizabethryan (30 reviews)

  

  I, for whatever reason, experience the most on fortunate dry skin on my legs from the knee down. I've tried many different scrubs and this one meets my needs and leaves my legs smooth and ready to better absord whatever moisturizer I'm using at the moment.

I've tried many different scrubs and this one meets my needs and leaves my legs smooth and ready to better absord whatever moisturizer I'm using at the moment. The Gingerbread Man scrub is oil-free and the exfoliating salt bits are big. It doesn't take a lot of effort to slough off unsightly flakes. Perfect for those who want a really substantial scrub. The scent is also very pleasant. It smells of ginger ale, not actual gingerbread, which makes it an every day staple as opposed to holiday indulgence. February 3, 2008, 9:50 am

  I'm a repeat customer for this product.

  I first bought a jar of this last year. I loved it from the first try. As another reviewer mentioned, it does wake me up in the morning and it seems to help me breathe when my nose is stuffy.

I loved it from the first try. As another reviewer mentioned, it does wake me up in the morning and it seems to help me breathe when my nose is stuffy. I will echo the warning to keep it away from more sensitive areas of the body, and I will add to never try this on your face. This stuff will make your bathroom smell divine. Your body will love it, and your feet and legs will really love it if they're tired. If you love mint, you may really love this scrub. Try it with the body butter for more tingly, soft, minty goodness! December 7, 2007, 8:52 am

  Change the scent!

  I have never really used many of this brand's products. I once received one of their "three in one" something-or-other Cinnamon Buns wash, and liked it, so I thought I'd give it a go with this one.

November 29, 2007, 4:57 pm I have never really used many of this brand's products. I once received one of their "three in one" something-or-other Cinnamon Buns wash, and liked it, so I thought I'd give it a go with this one. Anyhow, I have to agree with others that I also thought that this was supposed to smell like gingerbread; it actually smells more like a weak sort of ginger (if you want real ginger, try Origins, their product is very good). For this reason alone I would fault the product, along with the fact that unless you rub it on while dry, it won't get warm (as it claims it should, being a "hot salt scrub"); however, not everybody enjoys the texture of salt-rubs, they can be painful. I used this with warm water instead. It did the job as it said, so there's one good point. The benefits of this scrub? It has some good ingredients like sea salt, plankton extract, kelp, algae extract, bladderwrack, and caramel. But I would advise Philosophy, that, in the future, not to mislead customers who thought this product was going to actually smell like gingerbread. This company is cruelty-free.

  Smells Yummy!

  by dmackay (82 reviews)

  

  I have the Senorita Margarita scrub and it smells divine! Just like a real margarita. Yum!

The scrub is packed pretty tightly in the jar and it is not swimming in oil, so I found it a little hard to scoop out and rub into my skin. It kind of balled up in my hand. I'm sure I'll get used to it though. The grains are nice and big and I feel like my skin is getting a really good exfoliating. I'm going to buy the matching body lotion... This is my first Philosophy product, but it won't be my last! May 12, 2008, 3:03 pm

It's so romantic and classy. I bought the perfume based on the scrub and was very disappointed. Somehow they got it right on the scrub, but missed the mark with the perfume. Go figure.

  One of the best scrubs I've used

  by Careygram (6 reviews)

  I love the scent but I love the scrub too. It's meant to be used dry but you can use it wet or dry and it gives you a good bit of friction, which I prefer, and no suds.

December 17, 2007, 9:37 am I love the scent but I love the scrub too. It's meant to be used dry but you can use it wet or dry and it gives you a good bit of friction, which I prefer, and no suds. I use it dry before my bath and it really gets my circulation going. My legs feel warm after I scrub and I never have dry skin on my legs. The jar is big and heavy and a little goes a long way so the jar lasts a long time and the scent lingers too. Over all one of the best scrubs I've used. December 17, 2007, 9:37 am

  Brrrr

  This is mint at it's strongest! I love the huge salt crystals, it makes my skin glow. Plus the mint is so potent, it is perfect to wake you up in the morning or clear your stuffed nose.

The only warning I'd give is be careful about getting it anywhere near your "privates", you'll be in for a burning surprise...I made the mistake of telling my boyfriend to use it, I guess residue was left on his hands when i heard the yelps from the shower.

  The Perfect Man?

  Found! This is by far the best scrub i have ever used. You DON'T have to use alot of this to make it go a long way, it smells incredibly edible, and the smooth, silky skin is your reward for the scrubbin you've done. And this is a large jar for $25.00.

I have had my 1 jar for about 8 months and still as fresh and effective as the day i bought it. Tip: Use one or twice a week so you don't overdo it. November 29, 2007, 11:03 am
