i love the way this stuff smells, which is pretty much all that is needed to sell me on thie product. but also, compared to other body scrubs i've tried, it's less abrasive on my sensitive skin, yet still does a good job exfoliating. will rebuy.

I tried this because of it's reviews. I like the scent when you apply it but the smell doesn't last very long. My skin is soft but I don't have dry skin normally. I am going to try a couple other items before I go back to this.

I love this stuff! I had the Origins Ginger Scrub before, and I used to like it, but this one is just awesome. I think the granules are just the right size, it is just oily enough without being greasy, and smells nutty and sweet.
I bought it at Target for about $11.

I hate to write a negative review of this scrub as I love most of the Alba Hawaiian line and especially the sea salt scrub. I have to admit this has a wonderful fragrance and the scrubbing quality is above average, however it was just way too greasy and I had to wash two times with soap to get rid of the residue which defeats its moisturizing properties. The sea salt scrub on the other hand leaves behind just a little oil and leaves my skin feeling clean, soft and refreshed.

This stuff ROCKS!!! It's the only scrub I go back to time and time again. When Henry's had them on sale I stocked up!! Try it! You will not be disappointed.

I'm another one who really likes this product, especially compared to many of the salt scrubs out there. I don't find it leaves any sticky residue, and the smell remind me of maple syrup. I use it with one of those scrub gloves to increase the exfoliating power. Definitely will repurchase!

This scrub is lovely! It smells so delicious, like sugar! It is very thick, when I first scooped it out of the tub I found that it balled up in my hand. I was able to spread it around my damp body easily, but if you were applying it dry I could see it being difficult.

It does take a little while to rinse away, but once it does I don't feel like there is any residue. I use it early on in my shower, and it's rinsed away by the time I'm done.

The price isn't bad, I bought it on sale for $10, and I had seen it marked down before. I think it might be about $14 usually.

I'm not a big fan of tubs, because you have to be careful not to contaminate the product, but this is so nice I can deal with it. :) continued >>

I love it!!! This scrub smells wonderful and I love the gel-like consistency. It is not very abrasive. I would almost prefer a little more "scrub" to it, but it's still good the way it is.

I am a huge fan of the entire Alba range. It feels good to support a company that strives to use organic ingredients where possible. The scrub is mild, not too greasy, though still moisturizing. It smells like their Kukui line, which is to say, absolutley wonderful. It is a warm, nutty scent. At $11, this is an excellent all around scrub for a great price.

I'm actually not terribly fond of the scent, but it works well as a gentle but effective shower scrub. I accidentally dropped my first jar in the shower, it it all went ka-splat. I didn't think that plastic would crack like that! Fortunately I had an extra on hand. It also leaves some residue in the tub, but my roommates can deal with that. :)
