I expected something akin to St. Ive's body scrub, but this product is nearly impossible to use effectively. It is supposed to be a "scrub", yet there are no emollient or lathering properties in it to enable a user to massage it into targeted areas. It's very density makes it fall immediately from the skin's surface. It looks, feels and smells exactly like coffee grinds mixed with sand (which I could have made myself). And it handles the exact same way, so imagine trying to rub it onto your thighs in the shower when it doesn't stay on the skin, it just falls off! It is equally impossible to follow the directions which suggest that it be left on the skin for 3-5 minutes for maximimum benefit. How would it be staying on the skin for 3-5 minutes when you can't even get it to rub against the surface for a few seconds? And where is the shower stream going while you're attempting to master this magical feat? This product can't even be rubbed in, let alone left on...bizarro. Great concept; poor execution equals total waste of money!
