This is my favorite foot scrub, and I've tried many. I love that it has pumice; I've tried some sugar foot scrubs and the sugar dissolves before it starts scrubbing. It also has a good amount of pumice in it-you don't need to use a lot of this to get a good scrub. I really like that it come in a tub so you can get it all out. I massage it onto my feet and then go over them with a callus stone. I follow everything up with a good foot cream. I do this once a week and my feet look pretty darn good! I do like the peppermint in this too, it smells good and it's refreshing. If you wait for a sale on this, you can get some great deals. I always have a backup, I love this stuff!

I love this product! I have been using it for 4 years now! I've recommended it to friends and family. They also have this product in a gift set The Body Shop Party Feet Set which includes the pumice foot scrub, the lotion, and clippers and emery board. Great stocking stuffer at $12!

A nice treat for your feet! Nice and coarse gel like texture. Tingles and refreshes tired feet. It gently removes dry skin. I should buy it more often!

I love this footscrub. Don't usually use one so can't compare with other products on the market, but find it does a great job at removing rough skin and smoothing my feet, especially when used with a good footcream afterwards. Agree with other reviewers that you really don't need a lot of it so a tub will last quite a while.

I love this scrub. I was skeptical at first because the consistency is rather spongey. I was expecting something much coarser. But it does a great job. It smooths out the rough spots and is fairly moisturizing. Though for the calluses that come with summer flipflop season it may take a few applications... And a little goes a long way. I picked it up in a gift set that was on sale - so the price was right at the time. I love TBS, but they can be rather pricey. They have great sales though so keep an eye out. Join their frequent shopper club (I forget what they call it) for 10% off, lots of great offers, and points for every every purchase. Every other visit it seems I get $15-worth of free stuff.

I ordered this online and was quite disappointed when it arrived. I didn't check the size of the container ,and this is very small in size compared to the other scrubs. I use this with a pumice stone about once a month ~ it's too expensive to use daily. It has a nice scent and I like the consistency, but I don't like the price. I probably will not purchase this product again...

I find this is a nice foot scrub! It's the first real foot scrub that i have ever tried, and i can say that have enjoyed my experience with it. It has a refreshing, strong peppermint scent, and it works nicely to exfoliate and soften some dry/hard places on my feet (especially heels and the outside of the big toe). I like to use this along with the plastic foot file (that i also purchased from the Body Shop). This scrub can also last for a pretty long time, as using just a little bit can work effectively. Overall I think this is a nice quality product and i would say that it's worth trying out!

I love this scrub. The great thing about it is that it lathers, but is very scratchy and scrubby at the same time. The packaging is not the greatest, as my jar tended to get water in it, but perhaps a tube would be too difficult (maybe it does come in a tube, I don't even know), and besides, the water never really diluted the product; I could kind of pour the water off the top. Highly recommended.

I love this product. It is the only foot scrub I have found that actually helps my hideous callouses. The pumice doesn't dissolve away so I am able to use very little of it. The peppermint is refreshing. Without this, people would tell me to put socks on.

This product leaves my feet very soft, especially when used in conjunction with the Peppermint Foot Lotion. As other reviewers have said, it's a terrific scent. I feel so relaxed after I have soaked my feet in warm water and applied this scrub!

The bomb for tired feet, along with the accompanying peppermint foot & leg products (the leg gel and foot spray are also 5-rated; I'd give all three a 5* if I could). Accompany with some nice hot tea (mint or otherwise).
I've used this unappealing-looking but aromatic grey pumice/peppermint scrub off and on for something like 20 years. It's been a staple after being on my feet all day - waitressing, teaching, hiking - and gives a near-miraculous new lease of life to feet that were in agony, unable to stand let alone walk - that level of exhaustion.
The peppermint set is also one of my most frequent presents to friends, who have even asked for repeat gifts of same. That's a pretty good sign.
Costs about EUR 7.50 / GBP 5.00 / USD 11.00. Shame it doesn't come in bigger tubs, like the lemongrass scrub (not as good).

My favorite foot scrub. Smell is amazing, and great exfoliator. The only downside is that afterwords you'll wanna keep smelling your feet.

I barely go for professional pedicures anymore as this is part of my regime and the results are outstanding for me. The ground pumice stone works to scrub off all those dry bits of skin on the bottom of your feet and the peppermint gel also works as a moisturising and cooling agent. A few people of commented on the packaging but the tub form is important so you can get the amount you need and not separate the gel from the ground pumice stone - invest in a plastic palette knife if you have an issue dipping your fingers into the tub. I use this with the BS ceramic foot scrub and my feet are like new. I do this in the evening and follow with a French manicure on my toes then when dried, Palmers Foot Magic for the night for extra moisture. My feet look great :)

I love this stuff too! The peppermint is cool, tingly, and refreshing. It lathers up a lot, so the tub lasts a long time. I use it with a pumice stone for extra exfoliation.

I love this stuff. Smells great and exfoliates well. I like the fact that it has small grains which makes it easier to scrub while giving yourself a pedicure in front of the TV (my preferred location) without making a mess.

This gives a very nice, refreshing smell & minty feeling. Felt this was too harsh for my feet when used in combination with my ceramic foot scraper- also from the body shop. Dont like dipping my fingers into the tub, wish it came in a squeeze tube or something. Especially when i do my scrubbing in the shower, water always gets into the tub.

This scrub is great all-year round and especially in the summertime! I love the fresh peppermint smell and the peppermint oil in it cools and refreshes my feet, as well as softens them. There's no residue after rinsing. The pumice is a nice consistency; not too rough or abrasive. The packaging could be improved, though - such as a squeeze tube, since opening/closing the lid of the jar can get messy and if your hands are wet, water easily gets inside as you are scooping more product out of the jar.

This is a nice scrub, but I think all scrubs in general don't work as well as a pumice stone or file. But if I had to use a scrub, this one would be it. It's a wonderful treat/pampering product. The peppermint is so refreshing. It leaves my feet feeling cool and refreshed. The scrub also lathers so it cleans your feet. It did make my feet softer and smoother, but not as much as if I had used my pumice stone.
The jar is small (3.7 oz.) for the price of $9. I would use this more as a pampering product than an every day foot scrub. I use it when my feet need a pick me up.

Great pumice scrub with a good scent. It has been my HG for about 6 years now. I have tried others like by BBW but this scrub still leaves my feet truly exfoliated and relaxed.
