While it was labeled as a 'Hwahae Scrub', it is disappointing that there are no ingredients in it that actually remove dead skin cells.

I was curious about how to purchase it cheaply and well, and now I'm using it. It's only now that I've learned that chocolate is a scrub, and I really wanted to buy it.

핫초콜렛 바디 스크럽

The price is a bit expensive, it's cheaper to buy from iHerb.

It's soft and moisturizing
The delicious scent is so nice.

Soak it in water and then gently rub it on your body, focusing on your elbows and knees...

If you apply it slightly damp, it stings a bit, so you need to add a bit more water.
It can be a bit irritating, so you need to rinse it thoroughly.

I bought it directly and the moment I opened it, the chocolate scent drove me crazy.
Even after showering, the lingering fragrance spreads through the bathroom, and the scent is just amazing.

I bought this from iHerb at a reasonable price.

The product amount is small compared to the packaging. To be more precise, the packaging is larger than I expected. I wonder if they needed to make the packaging this bulky.

I previously used the Treehat scrub, but I decided to purchase this one because the ingredients are better. It has a sweet hot chocolate scent and the granule size is just right. After scrubbing, it doesn't feel tight and leaves my skin feeling refreshed, which I really like.

The exfoliating particles are too large and dense.
Without sufficient moisture, it feels like it might tug at the skin.ㅋ
After using the scrub, my palms feel silky smooth...
But the exfoliating grains take a long time to dissolve, so it may not be suitable for impatient users.㎎
The ingredients are on the 'good' side, but I bought it through a proxy service, and the hassle makes me reluctant to repurchase.

If you're a fan of sweet or chocolatey scents, this is a wonderfully rich and fragrant product for you. I had an urge to use it immediately upon opening.ㅋ The moment you open the lid, an incredibly intense cocoa aroma fills the air, which the ingredients reveal is due to the fragrance. Fortunately, among scrub products, this one has relatively simple and clean ingredients without any concerning components, which I appreciated. 
As you apply and gently massage it, there is a momentary warming sensation. While that warming may not directly reduce cellulite, it likely aids in product absorption, which is a vague but hopeful expectation I have.ㅋㅋㅋ

If you have sensitive skin, it might be better not to rub the cocoa shells too much after the sugar has dissolved.

As a scrub, it doesn't seem to be doing a great job.
I started using it because my skin was dry and had a lot of dead skin, but it only seems to remove about half of what I was expecting.
As I mentioned before, it does leave my skin feeling smooth and soft, but you definitely need to moisturize afterwards.
However, I don't have any ingrown hairs, and I bought it because I wanted a light exfoliator, so the scent is very pleasing to me, so I would consider repurchasing it.

The best thing about this product is the chocolate aroma!!
It's closer to the scent of powdered hot chocolate rather than the rich smell of raw chocolate, but it's not overpowering.
Since it's made of sugar, when you rub it on your body in a moist state, it melts without much irritation.
However, the cocoa? shells that are also included remain even after the sugar has fully dissolved, so it feels a bit rough.
And after using it, your skin becomes very soft!

The moisturizing power is lacking.
Due to the container structure, water inevitably gets in every time I use it.

I finished one bottle and repurchased it, but I'm currently using a different product, so I haven't opened it yet.
The chocolate scent is the one I like the most.
A sweet fragrance lingers in the bathroom and on my body.

If you dislike coarse exfoliating particles, you may not like this. It's inconvenient to apply as there is no spoon inside.

After showering, the bathroom is filled with the aroma of chocolate. The fragrance is truly delightful. And the volume is more than expected.

The particles have a rough feel, so gently use it for the body.
If you add water and massage it until it dissolves, the scrubbing effect works well.^^

It's thick and has a warming sensation, so you have to apply it when it's quite wet.
Personally, I don't like applying scrubs diluted in water, so the application feel might make me not repurchase this.

This scrub gives me a feeling as if I'm inside a cocoa cup.
Those who like chocolate-based scents will probably love this.^^

It's a scrub, but I'm not sure if it effectively removes dead skin cells.

The scent is pleasant and there is a warm sensation when applied. Haha, it's great for relaxation.

While the container size seems small compared to the amount, there's not much else to complain about.

This scrub has a rich chocolate aroma.
The granules are large but provide a gentle exfoliation.
After using a body wash, I enjoy the smooth, refreshed feeling from using this scrub regularly.
It's great for summer, but additional moisturizing is needed in the winter.
