    Love this body scrub! Smells delicious, it's creamy, non sticky and the beads are neither too gentle nor too rough. Leaves the skin fresh, soft and fruity smelling!

    I love the smell of this. No, it doesn't smell papaya-ish, but it has a lovely fragrance that borders on flowers and fruits, it's the body shop smell. This is the only body scrub that I love...

    I got this as a present from my mum. Good thing, cause I usually don't use body scrubs and never would have bought it. But it is amazing. The scent is very natural (always a problem with those...

    Bought it on sale for $10 a jar. I still think it's expensive, because i am used to the cheapy St. Ives apricot scrubs. Comparingly the scrubs are a bit more coarse. Aftrer I rinse it off skin...

    The main reason I don't think that I will purchase this particular scrub again is that I'm not quite sure I like the scent. I enjoyed the scent of the body lotion and body butter, but somehow it...

    I really like The Body Shop Papaya Scrub! I love how it has lots of scrubby bits in it without being rough. The smell is very nice, not overpowering. A little bit goes a long way with this scrub; I...

    I love the papaya scent so got the scrub to match the butter. It has slightly larger grains and therefore you get quite a strong rough scrub. I like it as it does not leave a greasy film. For its...

    This is the first ever scrub I've tried - and boy did I pick a loser! Smells great, and is not very greasy (not as much as my usual oil-and -sugar routing) washing off quite well with soap. BUT...

    I tried the new cream-based scrub. while the scent is not a winning feature for me, it left me moisturized, soft, and clean, which any decent scrub should do. It's not highly special, but it's not...

    TRY THE NEW FORMULA! It is cream based now, so it isn't disgusting & greasy and so easily desolved like the old formula (I remember using that one for the first time and thinking it had gone bad...

    I got this despite reading the not too stellar reviews for the Papaya scrub, because at the shop this was the only one at that time with a scent that appealed to me. Have been using it for almost a...

    I really like this scrub it exofiliates well and smells great like the body butter. Unlike the shower gel this smells more like the body butter scent. The shower gell is a bit sweeter. I like how...

    Yes it's greasy in the shower. I was a bit put off by it due to the film it left on my skin. But, I shaved with the oil it left on my legs and Voila! I had the most smooth shave in my life. My...

    I like the smell of it, but makes my skin greasy. I use this with papaya body butter, makes smell much more. But i usually use it alone because of its greasy feeling, no need for body butter. It's...

    I bought this because of my friend's recommendation. However, I don't like it at all when I first use it. It is greasy and very sticky. It does make your skin smooth after using it. However, I...

    I agree with the reviewer below, VERY greasy residue and very little. Not nice at all, except for the great scent.
