A review of Dove's exfoliating body scrub (crushed macadamia & rice milk scent) Dove Exfoliating Body Polish: A Delightful Body Scrub and ExfoliatorI love using body scrubs every now and then. But it seems that good scrubs are often too expensive. There are many scrubs available in the market these days. This time, I was looking for a scrub that is affordable and gives good results. While browsing the internet, I came across this product from Dove. Putting aside my thoughts about Dove as a brand, I decided to give it a try. It had some great reviews, too. I had to decide for myself whether those reviews were truthful. Also, the combination of crushed macadamia and rice milk was intriguing. I have not come across this combination in any other product. About DoveDove is a personal care brand owned by Unilever. The brand started in 1957 with the introduction of its famous beauty cleansing bar. Today, the product portfolio includes cleansing bars, shampoos, body washes, deodorants, lotions, moisturizers and other products. It has become famous for its unconventional advertisements and focus on ‘real beauty’ that celebrates women.
About Dove Exfoliating Body PolishThe product is a body scrub that nourishes and restores the skin’s natural nutrients. The product also provides gentle exfoliation and has a relaxing fragrance. According to the claims, macadamia fights skin aging and moisturizes the skin, and rice milk lightens and brightens the skin tone. The product comes in three variants:
I think all the combinations are very interesting, and I would love to try the other two variants in the near future. The ProductThe product has a rich, creamy texture with red beads. The scrub has a thick liquid consistency so it is easy to spread on the body. It has a sweet vanilla smell, which is not that overpowering. The fragrance is actually quite relaxing. The scrub isn’t very harsh on my skin, either, unlike other scrubs. It has a perfect, gritty texture. On application, the product feels very luxe and indulgent. I think the product lives up to its claims. It leaves the skin very smooth, clean and moisturized. It is easy to rinse out while in the shower, which is also great. Price and PackagingThe product is priced at USD 5.94 (in India, it retails for INR 699) for 298 g. It comes in a clear plastic tub with a blue lid. It fits easily in the palm of your hand. The packaging is quite sturdy. It is not a travel size, but you can certainly carry it while traveling. The packaging is quite well made, so the product will not spill while travelling.

There wouldn’t be any wastage as you can take out the product till the very end, unlike when the scrubs come in a tube and towards the end, you cannot take out the last bit of it, so you end up using the scissors to cut the tube and take it out. Do you know what I mean? Dove has really come up with good packaging for this product. Ingredients
How to Use the ProductJust apply some scrub on the body, gently rub it on the skin and rinse the area. Pros of Dove Exfoliating Body Scrub Review
Honestly, I could not find any cons to using this body scrub. Some people with really sensitive skin may find the scrub a little harsh. My Personal ReviewI have tried body scrubs from a myriad of brands. I was not expecting anything from this body scrub when I ordered it, but I was pleasantly surprised by this scrub’s performance. I don’t recall ever being so happy with a body scrub. I generally am not a fan of using Dove products because of the ingredients, especially fragrance. We often use body scrubs for a couple of minutes. We do not allow it to absorb into our skin. So I really do not mind the fragrance in my body scrub. Rather, I enjoy having a luxe fragrance in such products. This is definitely one of the products from Dove that I have really enjoyed. It fulfills all the claims that it makes. I would give it a 5 out of 5, and I would love to try more variants of this scrub very soon. This will definitely be a repeat purchase for me.

It's why Dove was one of the first brands to stop using microbeads — the small plastic particles you once found in body and face scrubs or exfoliants.
Can you use Dove Exfoliating Body Polish everyday?For all skin types, start using Dove Exfoliating Body Polish once per week, and then gradually increase to 3-4 times per week as part of your regular beauty routine.
Does Dove exfoliating Polish work?Dove's Exfoliating Body Polish is affordable and easy to find, but it far exceeded my expectations. Effective for softening and gentle enough not to cause irritation or breakouts, this is a great option to try if you have an extra five minutes for your shower and want an exfoliator that works on sensitive skin types.
What is the difference between body scrub and body polish?How is it different from a body scrub? Body polishes and body scrubs are very similar. Both exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells. However, body scrubs cleanse the skin while body polishes only remove dead skin cells and hydrate.
