Review 1 for Refining Body Exfoliator
Lovely scrub!
-02.23.13
Quick Take: fine granules, moisturizing, pleasant scent
This is overall a nice scrub, with a pleasant smell. It actually smells exactly like whatever scent my grandmother used. That's not a bad thing - she was a lovely person, and every time I use this the scent very much reminds me of her. It has a pleasant, delicate powdery floral scent. However, even if the scent isn't quite for you, it doesn't tend to stick around much once you've rinsed it off and are out of the shower.
It's a fairly gentle scrub, though I would say it's a bit rougher than what I would tend to use on my face. I don't have any major skin issues that require anything serious, just slightly dry elbows, knees, and soles. After using this, my skin tends to be softer, silkier, and slightly moisturized feeling, though I would still recommend a moisturizer as well. (You could possibly get away without one during the summer, depending on your climate.) I use it once a week, which I believe is what the tube recommends, and while I wouldn't say my skin is magically perfect, it's helped keep the dryer areas (elbows, knees, soles) softer.
Ultimately, it's a nice scrub that isn't too harsh, and unless you're looking for a rough-textured scrub, I'd recommend it.

Review 2 for Refining Body Exfoliator
Good But Not Great
-01.28.13
I like this scrub, but I don't love it. It's a solid 4 stars. The beads are VERY fine, and although I don't like a really grainy scrub, this seems to be not quite "scrubby" enough for me. Its texture would be perfect for the face. It does have a wonderful scent, but it is very perfumey while using it (not so much afterwards), so I have a feeling some people will love it and some people will find it too strong. After using it, my skin does feel smooth and refined, but it does not feel moisturized at all. It doesn't feel dry either, it just feels clean.

smooth and smells really good
-01.09.13
The particles in this exfoliator are really small, and do not create the harsh feeling for the skin when you use it. It can bring smooth skin, perfect for daily use in summer time, need to put on body lotion if it is used in winter.

Review 4 for Refining Body Exfoliator
-09.10.12
I really love this product. The smell is very good, but wish it would last all day. However, the feeling last all day. After using this I really feel soft and smooth. I use it about once a week and on my legs before shaving. Love it.

Review 7 for Refining Body Exfoliator
Awesome!
-08.19.12
Quick Take: fine granules
I can not believe the difference in my skin from using this product only a few times! It is amazing. I saw a magazine recommending it and I'm so glad I tried it. It really made a difference to my acne prone shoulders and it smells nice and make my skin silky smooth.

Review 9 for Refining Body Exfoliator
Why only online??
-07.06.12
Quick Take: fine granules
I just ordered it online to try it on, and love, love, LOVE it. its great and feels awesome on the body. I like how the granules are fine but not too fine. I feel like it litteraly peels off the old skin and give you nice and smooth feeling.
I am Shiseido lover, and it is worth the price. Please make exactly same product for face!!

SHISEIDO BODY EXFOLIATER
-06.27.12
Quick Take: smooth texture not greasy or abrasive, a pit pricey but a little goes a long way
A lovely gentle yet effective product! I had some scars/discoloration on upper arms due to a skin problem last year. This product is evening out skin tone over time. It really works ,be patient and consistent...

Review 13 for Refining Body Exfoliator
Scrub That Dead Skin!!!
-08.03.11
I really love this product!! For me personally, I do not care for exfoliators that leave you feeling like a greasy hot mess!! This product my friends, is the solution to your grease-free exfoliation dreams!! It has a very light, clean fragrance that is truly refreshing, unfortunately, the scent does not linger too long. Boo hoo. The most important aspect is those little tiny scrubbers do a tremendous job, rinsing you completely clean and feeling as soft as a newborn baby's butt!! Enjoy everyone!
