GIOVANNI Hot Chocolate Sugar Body Scrub, Scented, 9 Oz (Pack of 1)

Pros: turns sandpaper-like skin into touchable skin, smells good, can be used on sensitive skin, gets rid of bumps on the back of the upper arm, no animal testing, 100% vegetarian ingredients, has several certified organic ingredients Cons: expensive, hard to find locally, does not last long, amazing smell does not linger, may be too moisturizing for someone with oily skin I have been buying this and only this scrub for several years now. Over the years I have tried many different scrubs from St. Ives apricot scrub to $20+ scrubs to my own homemade concoctions. This is by far the best scrub I have ever used and the only store bought scrub I am not allergic to. My skin type is: very sensitive, dry, and prone to redness. Also, I am sensitive to fragrances and chemicals. I used to be able to buy this scrub locally (for around $13) at Whole Foods, Publix, and Walmart but they all stopped carrying it. I am lucky this product is sold on amazon (and for a much better price than it was available for locally) and dread the day it will no longer be available because it is the only body scrub I can use really. This scrub has small exfoliating sugar crystals and smells amazing. I wish the chocolate fragrance lingered a bit. This scrub is warming when used which is likely why it is called "hot chocolate". Some of my skin (mostly my stomach) turns a little red at first after use because of the warming effect in conjunction with the rubbing of the sugar crystals across my skin. This chocolate scrub actually helps keep away bumps I get on the backs of my arms. I love this scrub and would recommend it to someone with my skin type but not to someone with oily skin because it is likely too moisturizing. I do not, however, recommend the mint lemon salt scrub by Giovanni to anyone with my skin type at it is extremely drying, which may make it an ideal scrub for someone with oily skin.

I absolutely love this. It smells good and I couldn't believe that it actually warms up as soon as it touches your skin. Makes your skin nice and smooth and smell like hot chocolate. I will deafantly buy this again.

This smells terrific and makes my skin feel so soft. I ran out - but will be ordering more of this scrub!!

Really nice smells wonderful

This stuff really smells like Hot Chocolate and washes off easily without leaving a residue in the shower/tub. Do use a lotion or oil afterwards as your skin may tend to be dry. I bought the double pack with the intent of giving one away as a gift....but now after using it, I think I'll be the giftee...:-)

I think I'm just not a lover of hot chocolate scent but it smelled pretty good. It works well very exfoliating, rich and thick. Left a nice moisture in my skin it made it soft. Just will prefer another scent I'm pretty sure they had two 🤷‍♀️♥️

I love this stuff! The scent is like decadent, rich, velvety smooth fudge. The sugar and crushed cocoa beans are just abrasive enough to slough away any dry patches your skin may be plagued with, yet gentle enough to keep even sensitive skin from harm. Most skin scrubs are so crumbly that when scooped into your hand, a lot of the product drops onto the floor of your shower. Not so with the Giovanni scrub. The consistency of this product is almost gel-like. The exfoliants are suspended in a this gel. It does not slip off the skin as soon as your hand smooths it on, so none of the product is wasted. I've tried products similar to the Giovanni Sugar Scrub, and nothing compares. My showers suck without this stuff! Although Giovanni Sugar Scrub is a bit pricey, the quality of the product justifies the dollar amount. (One 9 ounce container should last one person about 2 or 3 months.) FYI.... During hot summer months, add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to this scrub. It smells just like a York Peppermint Patty, and the coolness of the mint makes your skin feel refreshed and tingley!

Smells so amazing!!! It’s like a cup of hot chocolate which is precisely what I was looking for, scent lasts on the skin after the shower as well. Hurry and buy!!!

Seriously?..??

肌がスベスベになりました。

香りよいよ

とにかく香りが良いです。バイタイムが幸せになります。もちろん、スクラブもちゃんと機能してます。

3回ほどリピートしています。 甘すぎる香りは苦手なのですが、普段使わないような香りで逆に気分転換になっていて、丁寧なケアをしている感じで女性らしい気持ちになります。ふんわりとしか香りは残りませんが、個人的にはちょうどいいです。 スクラブはあまりツルツルにならないイメージだったのですが、このシュガータイプはきちんと落とせているなと言う感じがあって嬉しいです。 全てにおいて満足しているのですがAmazonの取り扱いがなくなってしまったので残念です。最近コスメキッチンで購入しているのですが、Amazonの方が楽なので。
