I absolutely love this body scrub. I always buy the large size, and keep it in my shower. The scent is really yummy, and lingers which is nice. I only need a tiny amount to exfoliate my entire body, and the large size lasts me about 3 months. I see some people have issues with rashes or skin irritation, which I attribute to scrubbing too hard. I gently massage this scrub on my body and have never had any irritation. My skin feels incredibly soft and moisturized after use. I followup with Creme de Corps or sometimes another moisturizer, as I like to mix things up now and again. I get dry patches on my skin during the winter months or with certain water, and this and the Creme de Corps completely rid me of them all. My one complaint is that water seems to seep into the cap in my shower, but it's a minor annoyance since it doesn't cause a loss of product or anything. I highly recommend this product for soft, supple skin. Also great before shaving your legs!

I purchased this in a set with the Creme de Corps body lotion that used to be my HG many moons ago. I tried the scrub in the shower tonight and it felt wonderful. It smells heavenly and a tablespoon sized amount was enough to get my arms and legs as it foams up also. After I rinsed, I applied the Creme de Corps to my arms and my skin felt like silk. A little while later, I looked down and I have a rash on both forearms as well as itchy bumps on my upper arms too. So I jumped back in the shower and washed my arms with Dove sensitive soap. This time after towel drying, I applied my prescription steroid cream allover my arms and took a big dose of Benadryl. Good news is that I can return to their website.
Just goes to show you that if you're sensitive with lots of allergies, you need to patch test ANY new product. Lesson learned.

My holy grail scrub! I can't recommend this product enough, I love it! Nothing gets my skin as smooth and hydrated as this scrub, it feels like a really luxe product, and the results speak for themselves. I even think this scrub has helped improve my cracked heels and my fine stretch marks on my thighs. Amazing.

just bought this product today. I have kp and am trying to find the perfect scrub to get rid of those annoying chicken skin bumps on my arms and legs. This is what i thought about the body polish...
pros:
-smells very nice, delicious scent
-think $39 AUD is worth the kiehls products
-good hydration
cons:
-dont think theres enough granules for an effective exfoliant for me. The microdermabrasion product is something that i was looking for but decided to try this because it had more and was cheaper
Overall i dont think i would be buying this again but it was a good experience.

Finally. This stuff is fantastic. I have kp on my arms and have had to use AmLactin for that until now. This keeps the kp at bay if followed by a rich moisturizer after. I use it once a week all over and twice a week on my arms and that keeps my skin perfect. Better than Fresh and the many other scrubs I have tried.

I am giving this a high rating because I think it is a good product, just not for me. It has too much hydration and not enough scrub. I prefer the grapefruit scrub then I follow with the creme de corp lotion.

Gorgeous scrub! A wonderful concoction of small but effective particles and moisturizing ingredients with a coconuts smell that is simply addictive.My skin ( rather dry and sensitive) is so soft afterwards that I don't need any cream or lotion.Best buy ever!!!

I love this scrub! Very delicious coconut scent, like other reviewers described, and lots of gritty particles to get rid of my KP. It stays on your skin until you rinse it off, you don't feel greasy afterwards, and it doesn't make a mess in your tub. Here in Canada, it retails for close to $50!! Still considering if I should repurchase, or if someone knows of a comparable product for a more reasonable price?

I usually have bad reactions to body scrubs as my skin is rather sensitive and the particles in most scrubs are too coarse for my skin to handle. However, this body polish is pretty much amazing for my skin type! It is not as rough as your average body scrub, yet it still does the job. The exfoliation is gentle and the smell is AMAZING! I followed this scrub up with Creme de Corps body lotion after my shower and my skin felt wonderfully soft the whole day. I would definitely recommend this for people with sensitive skin. However, it IS a bit on the pricey side, but the packaging is lovely, clean, convenient and easy to use in a tube!

This does a pretty decent job exfoliating my semi-sensitive skin & doesn't leave a gross residue. I LOVE the smell! It is pretty pricey, but I am on my second tube now & will definitely buy again.

I love that this scrub is so gentle but gets the job done. i can apply this on damp or dry skin. i feel that the grains are gentle but still delivers soft skin. together with the oils and butters in the scrub, i dont need to put on lotion afterwards. the scent is warm and clean. i love the fact that its not a sugar or salt based scrub that crumbles or doesnt stick on your skin. but it still rinses off easily. best scrub ever!

I got a decent sized sample of this as a GWP. It has such a nice light smell. I find that it does exfoliate well in my "problem" areas. I only use it once or twice a year. For the price, it isn't like the best body scrub ever but it is definetely good. I would buy it again just because of the pretty scent.

I gave this three lippies because, as the previous reviewer noted, for this price there should be some impressive results, and for overall exfoliating/smoothing, this product isn't anything ridiculously fabulous. However, the scent is DIVINE, a mix of honey-milk-yummy-goodness that is wonderful. That alone would have me purchase this product again, even for the price. It exfoliates OK, I don't have super silky skin afterward, but it does the job fairly well.

I like using this. I love the smell and how thick it is, so it doesn't ball up and fall off as you use it. I love that it is really invigorating and leaves a lovely layer of oil on my skin that stops it from drying out and means I can skip lotion. So it is a beautiful product that is good and basic for every day, but nothing transcendent like the fresh brown sugar scrub.
I feel like Kiehl's products do everything I expect from drugstore products but don't always get - keeps promises, does exactly what it says, does all the basics you expect from whatever kind of product it is. But it does nothing to warrant its price - nothing really special to take it up to the next level. I guess it is good because you know Kiehl's is always reliable, but I want lights, explosions and glamour for these prices.

This is definitely a polish not a scrub so don't expect too much in the way of exfoliating. I've been using twice a week for the past year and my skin loves it. It has nice texture (fine grit) and lathers really well. It is on the pricey side but I buy it because I love the smell. It is a very comforting vanilla, milk and honey scent. If I could get this scent in a lotion I'd be over the moon.

This is a luxurious body scrub that has everything going for it. The scent is lovely, texture is creamy and the results are great, i.e. it leaves my skin baby soft. I highly recommend it!

This retails for $27.50 for a 6.8 fl oz tube and is part of the 'Creme de Corps' line. The combination of soy milk and honey produces a wonderful heavenly smell that's comforting to the senses. It smells like coconuts actually.The packaging is hygienic, which is a plus. No digging into a tub and getting product stuck under your nails! I received a sample of this from Kiehl's and it was so-so. The grains are very tiny and I don't know if this product is doing a good enough job of sloughing all my dead skin away. This contains honey, jojoba, sweet almond oil, and shea butter, all moisturizing ingredients.
The Body Shop's Cocoa Butter Body Scrub is still my HG. Try that instead.
