Ives Purifying Salt Pacific Exfoliating Reviews Summary

Exfoliation

Pros:

• "This body wash has the perfect consistency and is a fantastic exfoliator."
• "It does a good job of exfoliating."
• "It exfoliated well and left my skin feeling extremely soft with barely any scrubbing."
• "The Sea Salt works as a gentle, natural exfoliator AND anti-bacterial that won't drastically alter your skin's natural pH."
• "It works well with a wash cloth to exfoliate and cleanse places regular body washes have not touched."
• "I love the smell and the gentle exfoliating it provides."
• "It exfoliates without feeling like you’re using sandpaper."

Cons:

• "But there's the rub...there's very little, if any, 'grit' to this. I don't feel exfoliated in the least."
• "I LOVE the moisturization I get from this product but I thought it would be grittier...I am disappointed by that! Their just tiny specs of salt and I like to feel like I'm really exfoliating...not with this product!"
• "I would have liked it to be More Coarse/Abrasive as it is an Exfoliating body wash."
• "THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BETTER SHOWER BODY EXFOLIANT, NO GRIT IN IT AT ALL FOR A GREAT SCRUB."
• "There is not enough grit in it to call it 'exfoliating'."
• "BEWARE: this is not the real product that used to be sold. There’s no 'salt' or 'exfoliation' at all; it feels like a lotion."
• "It's supposed to be mildly exfoliating, and it's not."

Scent

Pros:

• "This smells AMAZING."
• "It smells absolutely great. It's a refreshing, clean linen kind of smell."
• "Smells amazing. I can’t quite figure out what scent it is but it’s so comforting and refreshing."
• "The scent is so fresh and clean."
• "like I said the smell is amazingly yummy, it exfoliates sooo nicely"
• "The smell of this is so lovely -- it reminds me of being at a lovely spa!"
• "Love the smell, so clean and refreshing."

Cons:

• "NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH DRY, SENSITIVE SKIN!!!!"
• "Several other unhealthy chemical ingredients and an awful chemical smell. Toxic mess!"
• "The fragrance leaves me cold."
• "The fragrance is a turnoff - smells like cheap scented candles."
• "When she used it, I pointed out it smelled like warm beer."
• "The smell isn't bad (definitely not as bad as a lot of the other body washes on the market today with that awful medicinal smell), but it also isn't great."
• "Now it smells like you grabbed a handful of wet, slidy quarry and used it in the shower. It's dreadfully unpleasant, and I won't be buying it again."

Value

Pros:

• "Excellent product at a great value."
• "This stuff leaves my skin softer and feeling better than products that cost 3 times as much, plus it has a nice clean scent."
• "I choose five stars for this product review as I really liked the value of the item here."
• "It's a very generous size for the price and the smell is amazing."
• "I was looking for a sea salt body scrub to prep for sunless tanning. This is a SUPER great value, at least at the time it was a 2 pack."
• "Best of all, it gives great value for the money."
• "The price is just right and it's better than some of the other stuff on the market that's so much more expensive."

Cons:

• "Paid 4x what a larger bottle would cost in the store."
• "BUT THIS PRODUCT IS $5 in Target, why is it so expensive on amazon? 2 for $17 yikes!"
• "Advertised as two 24 oz. bottles. Instead, received NEW packaging, which was two, 22 oz. bottles."
• "The price is extremely expensive for just one bottle of this body wash."
• "I felt really ripped off ... I paid $12 & thought the bottles would be much bigger."
• "My star deduction is due to the major size decrease and price increase."
• "Pretty sad that this company threw away an amazing product for crap."
