HORRIBLE STUFF. It's so expensive for something so mediocre. The sugar part is great because it exfoliates well without irritating the skin like sale scrubs. Fresh sugar scrub has too little sugar and waaaaaaaay too much oil. I don't know what kind of oil they use but they were way too heavy and I felt like I was ready to be deep fried. I had to stand under the shower head long time to rinse off all that grease and my shower ended up being dangerously slippery. I have no idea why it received such great reviews and why I bought it. The container is very filmsy plastic container and if you are not careful it'll easily break.

I had 1 sachet of this (enough for 2-3 uses) and really liked it! I had to rub it on gently since it was quite grainy, but it left my skin so soft afterwards, and totally moisturized. Plus, the scent is *gorgeous!*

Just an average product with a huge price tag. I bought this based on all the hype and it smelled delicious but it was way to rough for my skin and although my skin felt moisturized afterwards that feeling only lasted for about an hour and then it was dry again. I'm sorry I wasted my money on this.

This product is very intense but really does its job. It smells great. But it can leave a mess in the shower. Works better if you use exfoliating gloves. Truly leaves your skin baby smooth.

I had high hopes for this item...but it irratated my skin. Plus the fragrance seemed too strong.

I think this is way overpriced, and I'm sure that I could find something comparable at a cheaper price. I love the smell (I love the smell of all the Sugar stuff) and like that it's completely edible. But it's too oily for me and a little hard to use - a lot of it ended up down the drain instead of on my skin.

Got a sample of this. And thank goodness for that, because had I paid the sky-high price I would have been incandescent with rage. Smells very good, but after that the party was over for me. Despite the oils, my skin felt bone-dry a couple of hours after use, and the grains were so coarse that I felt my skin must be scratched. I will stick with my Cali Oliva Salata (broken record here, but I love it). I'm a big believer in buying what you love, and the heck with price & other people's opinions, but I truly would read the reviews below before blowing such a large amount on this.

I really liked this. I was expecting just an exfoliator. I wondered why they called it a "treatment". After I used it I figured out why. It left my skin feeling very soft and moisturized. Which is hard to do, because I have extremely dry skin.

I have fallen in love with this product. I have super dry, scaly skin, but this scrub keeps me feeling smooth and moisterized. The smell is wonderful and the ingredients are natural. I like that the oil remains on my skin after the shower. Also, the sugar is less abrasive and irritating than the salt scrubs I've used in the past. I will definitely buy this again- despite the $58 price tag.

I think I am the only person who did not like this product. I am rather angry with myself that I bought into the hype and threw down $58 plus tax for this tub of goo. I didn't like the scent of this, but I didn't mind the oil afterwards, I like the sheen it left on my skin, but it wasn't moisturizing enough. My skin was dry and flaking two hours later. I couldn't even use a body lotion after using this because of the oil. I wouldn't buy this again, I prefer BlissLabs' Super Slough Scrub to this.

Huge rant for this much over rated best seller. This scrub is way too oily in comparison to the amount of brown sugar. The lemon scent was not impressive. I cannot imagine why this product would be so popular? $58 for 50 cents worth of ingredients. I will stick to the brown sugar scrub I make myself which really puts this one to shame.

I got this as part of the extra sugar set...and its really a shame because i like it alot. there was only one envelope in it, and thats sort of gyppy, but its just too bad because i really cant afford $55 for this, and id love to have it again. ::sign::

I hate this! Although it smelled good it was way too harsh on my skin and my skin isn't sensitive! The salts don't dissolve when wet either. For the price there are so many other polishes that are better out there!

I love this product! But then again, I got several tubs as gratis. When I use it, people always ask me how I get my skin to glow! It removes all the rough spots...and leaves my skin silky. I love the lemon smell. This is the only product I've tried that softens my feet and leave them smelling fresh. I will look up the NE Sugar Scrub.

I purchased this once and received one as a gift over the past year. I used them both and thought it was a really good product,BUT the smell was not that great, did not linger on the skin and it was way overpriced. Then I found MUA and kept hearing about the NE and they were so more affordable, about 1/5 the cost. So, I ordered a small sugar limone. I was shocked at how much better this was. The fragrance lingers for hours, it moisturizes and exfoliated far better. When NE site went down temporarily, I ran out. My husband had started using the NE because it is such a unisex fragrance. He loved it. It got rid of his dry knees and arms and he was hooked. :) We ran out. So, I ordered a Fresh( my third jar now) from Sephora about a month ago. It was then that I really noticed HOW MUCH better NE was. He tried it once and said this is awful,send it back! I know it has a very impressive list of really good oils, but for us, it just does not have the same beneficial results as NE. Also the price difference is incredible. Not a bad product, since there are so few of these out there, BUT with better and less $$ alternatives that smell sooo much better, I would not re-purchase this.

I think I am the only person in the world who did not like this product. I didn't feel much of a difference after I used it. I have a homemade concoction of my own that I find works much better than this.

This scrub is by far the best on the market. Its quite expesnive, but if yu check out the ingredients you will see why. In the majority of scrubs out there (Origins Salt Scrub for example) The main ingredients contain works like methoylhetamine and other un-pronouncable 25 letter words. In contrast Fresh's formula is chock full of essential oils such as Arnica, lemongrass, tea Tree etc. The list includes about 25 oils. Almost every single ingredient is an oil. The scrub is very exfoliating and leaves a dewy finish to your skin. The brown sugar also is a natural healing agent and disinfectant so its great for acne and for broken skin. Two thumbs up :)
