I used this on my feet, and at first I thought it really smoothed them. But now I think they were just moisturized by the oil and the scrub didn't do much to slough dry skin.
Arbonne is ridiculously overpriced junk in terrible packaging. At the prices they charge, it would be nice to at least get some nice packaging out of it. But no. This scrub comes in a cheap plastic tub. The oil was leaking out before I even opened it for the first time.
This is very hard to use...cumbersome with the big tub when your hands are slippery from the oil and it will make your shower/tub a dangerous slippery mess.
The only positive thing I can say about this product is that it smells nice and leaves a smoothness on your skin.
But totally not worth it....and it's mess....for $28! But hey, those Arbonne salespeople have to earn their white Mercedes somehow, don't they?!

I bought this due to the good reviews, but I just wasn't wowed. I found it cumbersome in the shower to use, and I while I felt moisturized afterward, I didn't feel a whole lot smoother. It had a nice smell and it felt good knowing you were using all of those essential oils on the skin, I'll grant it that. But in terms of effectiveness, I can't really testify to that. I was eager to finish it - which, if I had been using it regularly, would have happened fairly quickly. I probably only got 10-15 uses out of it, which I think is poor. Overall, not impressed.

I'm addicted to this stuff. First, it smells wonderful. Second, it multi-tasks. I use it as a scrub to get my feet buffed and moisturized because I get dry feet in the winter. It also does the double job of working wonders on my hands. My only complaint about this is the price. It is very expensive for what is, essentially, just bath salts and scented oil. I would keep buying it, though, because the results are really that good.

This is a wonderfully scented, nicely exfoliating, softly hydrating, horrifically overpriced scrub. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the loveliest scrubs I've used, but I got it as a gift. I wouldn't have purchased it on my own. It's also quite oily. I drained off about an inch of oil and used it as a shaving oil after the first couple of times I used this. Otherwise it left a slick and unsafe film in my shower stall. I store it tightly lidded and upside down so it mixes when I need to use it. Otherwise it separates quickly. If you are a scrub fiend, it makes a nice treat, but there are plenty of other wonderful scrubs out there.

I'm not surprised at this rating! I tried this out at an intro to Arbonne and had to have it. I couldn't believe how soft it made my hands feel and the scent is just amazing! When I got my own bottle I started using it on all parts of my body. My favorite is adding this to my self-pedicure process and using it on my feet! I love love love this product, and will definitely purchase another when I run out!

This product is a godsend. The ingredient list is perfection. Never clogs my acne prone skin, sloughs to perfection, and the scent is perfect for the morning or a really handsome man. haha really works unisex though!

Buy this online (ebay, amazon) or through an Arbonne representative, this generous, moisturizing 16 oz scrub will run you around $28. Don't forget that you need no lotion after this as the oils really make your skin glow and supple, so it saves some dollars there!


Ingredient List---(truly impressive!):
sea salt, safflower seed oil, macadamia ternifolia seed oil, aleurites moluccana seed oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, tocopherol, tocopheryl acetate, isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben, butylparaben, essential oil blend composed of lemon and coriander oils, musk and rose oil. continued >>

I am into trying the best of everything, from hair products to facial cleansers to cuticle creams. I never had a scrub before in my life as it is more of a luxurious item than a necessity (like facial cleansers and shampoo). When I was younger, I remember that sometimes my skin would shed in the shower, and I never knew there was a product like this to remove it easily.

Now, that I knew of it, I had to try it. So after extensive searching throughout MUA, I came up with the top two, Tree Hut and Arbonne's Awake, but although both had a remarkable 4.7, this on had an astonishing 98% of those who would buy it again.
I had to have it!


Well, no store I know of carries it. I searched online to find the price...a staggering $28? I've come to realize that you get a whole lot of product that goes a long way for that price (so it is justified).
After getting an awesome price of it at $20, I received it. Tore the box open, tried it.
1. The scent is amazing. Not sweet, not florally. But so very refreshing, quite unisex. If a guy smelt like this, I'd be one of those desperate AXE women haha. I want to use it in the morning time; it really awakens!
2. It takes off all your dead skin, leaving glowing soft skin behind!
3. A little goes a long way, like I stated earlier and it isn't abrasive. It really is gentle.
4. It is so very moisturizing. It's foolish to put a lotion after this, which saves more dollars!


It's just a win win, but don't take my word for it. Take the hundreds of people that rave about it on all other sites. Take the extensive bids for it on ebay.
This stuff is now a necessity to me. Don't buy it if you don't plan on being able to afford it for a lifetime haha continued >>

This is a really nice scrub. The ingredients are very emmolient/non- drying and the scent is not overpowering.

This product made my legs and arms so soft and smooth! I'm a swimmer, so I tend to dry out all over in the winter. My skin glows and shines when I use this product. I thought it was absurdly expensive (nearly $30 for a scrub), but got it at an Arbonne party I hosted. I think I may be a repeat buyer!

This is the BEST, BEST sea salt scrub i have EVER used. the citrus smell is to die for. Great for pre-shaving, skin is soft days and days after using. Jar lasts a while, very potent stuff, so you dont need a whole lot. got this through an arbonne sales person. ive been dying to buy it ever since!!!

This is an Arbonne must have! I personally love all of the Sea Salt Scrubs but the Awaken and Unwind are by far my favorites. There is nothing like getting out of the shower and being silky smooth! It's also great to use on your hands for a little manicure and also on the feet and heels!

How I love this scrub!!! I love the scent and the results. I have some red spots around hair folicles from years of shaving and waxing. If I use this scrub on my legs before shaving in the shower I get a beautifully smooth result and the red spots are gone and any ingrown hair problems are calmed right down. I follow this with a 8 or 10% alpha hydroxy lotion like Paula's Choice or Neostrata and I'm loving my legs again. Best results are acheived if I do this every 2 weeks or so.

I went to an Arbonne party and the woman had this out as a tester- I tried it on my hands and immediately fell in love!! This stuff is AMAZING. I use it about it every other day and it leaves my skin feeling baby-soft and I really like the scent of it too! I have sensitive skin so I was a little cautious to use it on my body but it has worked out great- not super rough like most scrubs, and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. Also, a little goes a long way with this stuff so one jar of it can last a while. The only thing I recommend when applying this is DON'T use it on your legs after you shave-- it BURNS like crazy!! Haha.
Overall, I'm more than pleased with this product and will continue to buy it!

In general I find Arbonne products overpriced but this one is well worth it. The lemon coriander scent is truly unique and like nothing I have ever tried before. The scrub works well and leaves you smelling great long after you use it. Layering with the lotion or spray will make this last even longer. Would recommend highly.

I really like this product and use it for shaving. My legs are a lot less dry since I have used this instead of shaving creams. Smells very citrusy & fresh too. You do need to mix it with the scoop really well in order to distribute the oil evenly into the salt. Be careful when getting ouy of the tub, it will be very slippery from the oil! continued >>

My HG shower scrub. I am not a huge fan of most Arbonne products but I love this scrub. I have tried many others but this has a great scent and leaves my legs silky smooth. I don't even have to use lotion when I use this. It's my summertime staple.

I am NOT someone who gives 5 star reviews to all Arbonne products, so I really mean it when I say this is my favorite product. It smells great, exfoliates beautifully, and leaves my skin glowing and moisturized for hours. My favorite way to use is it on my legs for shaving. After exfoliating, I rinse off the exfoliant, which leaves enough oil to shave my legs. They end up super smooth and gorgeous.
My only caveat is to keep some shower cleaner or windex nearby. My tub gets REALLY slippery with this product. I spray it with windex followed by hot water, and it comes clean in no time.

This was a gift from a friend and I absolutely love it. Lovely scent, gentle enough for my sensitive skin and actually makes a difference. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
