Palmolive Body Butter Peppermint Crush Exfoliating Body Wash Review

The first thing I noticed about this product is the lovely peppermint scent, I wasn't expecting it to be as strong as it was which was a bonus! I love that it has the little exfoliating beads through it, though I feel like they didn't have a huge effect on my skin. It has a thick, creamy texture which I liked and it lathered up okay, not as good as others which I have tried though. The bottle it comes in is a bit of a pain in the butt to get all the product out of which is a shame. This body wash kind of lightly tingled my skin while I was using it which was nice and refreshing.

I frogging love this stuff! Okay, it doesn’t exfoliate the body so I’ve lowered the rating for that, but this is my most favorite body wash. It’s rich and creamy and smells so different to any other product I’ve seen at the supermarket. It’s sweet and refreshing. It doesn’t dry my skin out either. I just love this stuff and can’t wait until they become crueltyfree and I can buy it again!

This was great. It has a really powerful peppermint smell which I quite liked but my husband was not to fond of so I would suggest that you be a peppermint fan. It was refreshing and I felt great after using it and wouldn't hesitate to keep buying it.

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.

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.

My Mum surprised me with this about a month ago because I'd mentioned it while we were shopping a few months ago. I. Adore. It. The smell is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Seriously I don't even care that the product isn't all that amazing, I adore this. The exfoliating particles aren't harsh at all, it's designed for every day use so in my opinion they're TOO gentle. The scent doesn't linger very much which makes me sad because I would honestly love to smell of this all day and night. The texture is creamy and nice but not very moisturising. My skin hasn't been looking amazing and I need to use a real exfoliator when my skin is looking dry or dull, but honestly I'm sold on the smell.

This body wash is strictly peppermint the scent is solid but soft and sweet like candy canes, the consistencey is thick and tacky & lathers well but the packaging is all wrong. The bottle is too solid for the heavy formula you gotta give it a good firm squeeze and it slowly plops out of the bottle. (The cocconut one I have too is the same.)This is sufficiently exfoliating for an every day wash, mild but does the job.

I would not pay full retail price for this product as I find it to be average, but these are often on special for $4 at countdown in which case I might repurchase.

I love peppermint in any shape or form. Starbucks frappes, candles, tea, toothpaste (a bit unavoidable there haha), chewing gum – you name it, I’ll like it better if it’s peppermint scented/flavoured. So, even though I’d seen this had a less-than-average rating on here, I decided that I needed this in my life… and into my shopping basket it went. Phew, that was an epic tale! Read on to see if my peppermint expectations were met…

Let’s get the controversial part out of the way first: the packaging. Nearly all of the reviews I’d read before purchasing this said that the bottle was almost impossible to squeeze and therefore really hard to use. I do agree that it is a very stiff plastic, and the shape makes it difficult to use. However, I’ve got around that by storing it upside down. Not ideal, given that’s it not designed to do that (the top is curved), but I keep all my shower things in a hanging basket in the shower anyway, so it does work for me. When it’s upside down the product is obviously sitting on top of the opening anyway so it comes out super easily without you having to break your wrists trying to squeeze the bottle.

The name of the product is actually very descriptive – it is super thick, and does remind me somewhat of a body butter, although it does lather up like a body wash. It can be a bit hard to spread around, so I probably use more of this at a time than a normal body wash. It is slightly gritty, as per the exfoliating description, but it’s definitely not a heavy-duty exfoliator. I have absolutely no problems using this daily. It rinses off easily and leaves my skin feeling clean, soft and not dried out (although I still usually use a moisturiser anyway).

But onto the important part: the scent. This really is amazing. It smells like a candy cane – super fresh, slightly sugary, and very, very minty. I love using it in the shower, as it makes the whole bathroom smell amazing. However, the scent doesn’t really last on the skin once I’m out of the shower, which makes me a bit sad. Ultimately it’s not a bad thing, as I don’t have to worry about it clashing throughout the day with my perfume, but personally I would prefer it if it lasted a wee bit longer, peppermint fan that I am!

Overall: I wouldn’t say this is an outstanding body wash (and definitely not a serious exfoliator), but because of the scent and the way it leaves my skin feeling, I still really like it. The bottle is a downside, but if you have some way of storing it upside down it’s not too difficult to use. I probably will repurchase at some point.

It does not really exfoliate my skin really well. However, it smells amazing! Minty, fresh, deliciously smell. I feel very refreshed and clean afterwards. Smells like opening a peppermint crisp chocolate bar. The only thing I did not like is the cream is so thick, hard to squeeze out of the bottle.

I used this a while ago and bought it again recently, it was on special. I liked it the frist time and this time was no different.

it is a very thick cream. so thick I can barely get it out of the bottle. it is good though because if it falls on the shower floor I can easily pick 99% of it up .

I put it on a loofah and wet it, and smoosh it into the loofah so it doesn't fall off. it lathers alright, the peppermint smell really wakes me up. I didn't find it overly moisturizing, nor did the scent last all that long on my skin.

its really hard to get out of the bottle, and for the price it's a bit ridiculous. I only buy it on special, as I don't think its worth it full price.
