Sensitive Skin Nightmare

I recently received a sample of this in the mail. At first I thought it was the cutest sample ever. I love miniature products which are great for traveling! The smell of this is so divine. If your a sucker for minty products than this scent is defiantly for you. I have always liked buying and using Palmolive products as to me they are a family brand which I know and trust.

I took this on holiday with me last weekend. I was so excited to use this. Ok, First attempt - The product came out of the bottle so easily. I have super sensitive skin and I thought that because this is by the brand Palmolive that I probably wouldn't have a bad reaction, but oh boy was I wrong! Due to the body wash being a Peppermint scent it set my skin off big time. A burning, hot sensation, red skin etc. It was not fun at all. It took a while for my skin to come right after that. This is definably not a good product for sensitive skin.

The body wash itself feels like a paste / cream. The texture is really strange, not a fan of this texture at all especially for a body wash. The scent however, I will give a 100/100 for that. I absolutely adore the peppermint smell.

Attempt 2 - I told my partner to finish off the bottle. This time it is near IMPOSSIBLE to get any product out. We both tried squeezing the bottle and it kept slipping and now I have sore hands. So basically you cant get any product out the second time unless you cut the bottle (if possible).

Overall I am disappointed because I had high expectations because this is by Palmolive, the difficulty of the packaging and the bad reaction I experienced. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing the full size of this body wash

Tips: If you have super sensitive skin - steer clear!

yum smell

I received a sample of this in the mail recently, and whilst it smelt devine it was not worth the effort it took to get the actual product out from the bottle! In saying this, it was sample size and cannot personally comment on the functionality of the full size bottle (although the reviews on here suggest it isn't any better!) The sample size has really turned me off the real deal.

It says it is a peppermint exfoliating body wash, whilst I agree with the peppermint aspect... I really didn't find the exfoliating beads of much use! My skin wasn't softer and I didn't notice dead skin removal. I feel like it is almost for "show" rather than doing the promised job.

In saying that, I didn't feel overly clean or refreshed.. just a little disappointed and ripped off after using so much effort to get it out! They say good things take time.. not in this case!

I was hoping this would be a good pre fake tan exfoliater that wasn't too harsh or abrasive but it really didn't do anything at all!

Unfortunately, I would not recommend... thankfully I found out through a free sample and didn't waste money.

Won't be forking out for the full sized product, I get much better for cheaper ( Original source).

Yummy!

I absolutely adore this! Well, not the bottle so much - it's kinda hard to get the product out. I think it smells amazing! I will buy this over and over again. Doesn't dry out my skin. Makes it look very polished and the smelllllll! Anything minty I LOVE! I would like it if the smell were just a tiny bit stronger. I already put peppermint oil at the bottom of my shower so for me that kinda helps LOL.

Total rethink of the packaging needs to happen though. Especially for the price.

Overall I will buy it again :)

Too much effort

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.

Tips: After 3 days of trying to get the product out I have cut the top off and transferred to a squeezy plastic bottle-a lot easier to use now.

I totally agree with being unable to get the product out.I only tried a sample and ended up binning it because it was just too hard to get the stuff out.

Yeah but nah on a repurchase

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.

Tips: This product works well on a shower puff thing.

Is that mint or feet I can smell?

So, from the title, I obviously think that this product smells a bit like feet. Sure, the first few minutes of the wash are peppermint laced and lovely, but then it goes horribly wrong when you think you are rubbing feet all over your body.

I also really don't like the shape of the bottle. Yes, it's feminine and looks attractive, but in reality the product inside is a 'butter' not a liquid, and you simply cannot sit this bottle on its head without it falling over and taking all your other normal shaped bottles with it.

Again with the butter, it's much too thick. You stand there for what feels like hours, shaking the hell out of the bottle to get it to go to the bottom. I think they should take a look at their formula and try to make it a bit more runnier. I also tried to mix water with it in my hands and I wasted half of it to the drainpipe because it wouldn't play nicely.

I don't think it's worth the price tag they've slapped on it - anywhere from $6-$8. For only 400ml and half of it gets wasted because you can't get it out of the bottle (without using unnecessary force), it's really not worth it to me. This body wash is also really not a wash you would use on your personal areas. It's fine wanting to be minty fresh, but not down there!

I will say that I really like the bits in the product though, and they way they scrub your skin. You don't need a loofah or gloves with this, but it never hurts to use one anyway. I am disappointed I didn't like this product, I really thought I would as Palmolive usually hit the nail on the head. This time, it's a big fat no from me! And I will most definitely not be repurchasing this, or it's sister scents any time soon.

After Dinner Mint Disaster

I wanted to like this, I really, really REALLY did. On paper is sounds amazing- peppermint is great for waking you up and clearing your mind and lovely scrubby bits to make your skin feel soft. When you first open the lid, you get a hit of intense peppermint- it smells incredible! I eagerly gave the plastic bottle a squeeze, ready to slather it on.... And nope. The formula is very thick so you better have some strong hand muscles to get this out! Because the formula is so thick, you really need to work it into your skin, otherwise it will leave residue much like toothpaste on your skin- and with the product smelling like peppermint people are even more likely to think you just left a dribble after cleaning your teeth! It does live up to it's promise of leaving your skin soft and you are left smelling like an after dinner mint for a good hour or two after bathing! I have normal skin and found that after a week of using this cream that my skin was very dry- this could be down to the intense peppermint oils stripping the skin, or from the scrubby bits being too harsh. Sigh. I will have stick to just sniffing this product instead of using it.

Tips: Perhaps consider only using it a few times a week instead of daily.

Love the smell but not the product

First off, if you like peppermint then this is a product for you! I really like peppermint as I find it fresh and cleansing and the scent of this body wash does not disappoint. It is a strong scent but by no means overpowering.

Unfortunately though, it is not a product that I will repurchase. My main reason is that although I find the smell of peppermint fresh and cleansing, this product did not leave me feeling fresh and cleansed. I can't quite pinpoint exactly what it was (as I'm sure the product is formulated as any other body wash) but after using this body wash, it didn't feel as though I had washed- not that I smelt horrendous, it was more of a feeling. I think a part of this is that there is no lingering scent when you step out of the shower- this disappointed me.

I bought this as a full size bottle from the supermarket, unsure what I paid for it but I'd say it was on sale. I didn't have any issues with getting the product out of the bottle as mentioned by other reviewers (I must have got a lucky bottle).

Palmolive Peppermint Crush

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.

Tips: No real tips, just a heads up that the peppermint aroma is quite a strong one.

Peppermint Overload

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.

Tips: Try storing the bottle upside down. If you're like me and can't though, give it a good shake before opening as it can be easier to get the contents out.

Awesome review hun x Glad I'm not the only one who wasn't too fond of it. I love the smell of it, i'm a huge peppermint fan but it was impossible to get the product out. I struggled with my first use, I haven't bothered with it since.

Great review! I got the sample too and while the product is okay, I can't get ANYTHING out of the bottle after the first use! Worst packaging!!!

Kirsty I definitely agree... I struggle for a good thirty seconds to get some out each time... The bottle is definitely not user friendly.

Agree with you about the packaging. I got a sample from Countdown, and loved the smell and texture, but honestly, how do you get the contents out without straining your fingers & back squeezing the bottle!
