Pros

The scent was incredibly nice A sophisticated fragrance Slightly sweet and nutty The packaging was beautiful I bought it during the winter when my skin was dry When I tested it in the store The balm formula applied smoothly and softly It didn't feel sticky and left my skin well-moisturized, so I bought it

Cons

The price was quite expensive The packaging is pretty but It's difficult to open There seems to be some kind of metal ring that it might get caught on

I applied it to the rough areas of my body, and the rough spots have improved and become smoother.

Cons

I'm not sure if it's just me, but the lid is a bit difficult to open...

Pros

The large capacity makes it easy to apply generously, and while it has a thicker feel compared to a cream, the application is still quite smooth.

Cons

The fragrance is quite unpleasant. Additionally, there were some harmful and allergenic ingredients. As someone with atopic skin, it stung a bit when I first applied it, and it felt like it just sat on the surface rather than absorbing, and it became so itchy afterwards that I had to wash it off.

Pros

It's great for writing in the winter. The scent is also good for writing in the winter.

Cons

The scent is too heavy. It's too heavy to use in the summer.

Pros

Other body scrubs leave a stinging or tightening sensation after use, but this product has no such tightness!! It definitely feels like a coating is left on the skin after scrubbing!!

Cons

The salt particles inside are too large. If you apply too much pressure while rolling, it hurts ㅠㅜ It starts off quite hard, but becomes a bit softer with use.

Tip

If it's too hard, adding a bit of water and mixing it before use helps it spread more easily.

Pros

The product worked wonders in the winter. In the past... The texture glides on smoothly.

Cons

It feels like it's just sitting on the surface, you know? It's a night-time formula, so it feels a bit heavy and sticky - not sure if it's greasy or moisturizing. Looking at the ingredients now, they're really not great...I haven't used it for a few years. There are so many good body moisturizers with better ingredients these days... You have to scoop it out with a spatula, but if you use your hands, the product can go bad quickly.

Tip

Just use a more affordable, gentle moisturizer. It's not really anything special.

Pros

I'm pregnant and my brother-in-law bought me a stretch mark cream. At first, I only applied it to my belly, trying to conserve it, but later I started using it as a body lotion too. It has great moisturizing power and absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling soft and not sticky at all. I'm in the final stage of my pregnancy now, and I haven't developed any stretch marks yet.

Cons

When I went to repurchase it, I found out it had been discontinued and replaced with a different model. They say the new product has even stronger moisturizing power. One thing I didn't like about the Body Shop product was the metal cap that you had to push down to open - it was sometimes inconvenient to use.

Tip

If you apply it right after showering, it absorbs really well.

Pros

The scrub is not bad, but I won't be repurchasing it.

Cons

It's a bit inconvenient to use in the bathroom, and there are many other better options at a lower price, so I won't be repurchasing it. If it was on a huge sale, I might consider it, but I'd likely just think about it and not buy it again.

Pros

I've been using this product for almost 10 years. Even in the summer, my body is often too dry to the point where I have to apply moisturizer (I have a tendency to not sweat much). But when I use this, it doesn't make me itchy or feel tight. I have a habit of always showering in hot water, which makes me even drier, but when I'm extra dry, mixing this with monoi oil and applying it to my body is the ultimate in moisturization!! I generally had good experiences with The Body Shop's spa line products. I've tried body butters and other brands, but the body balm still seems to be the most moisturizing for me.

Cons

The steep price increase over the long-term use was disappointing.
