Advantages: Lovely coconutty delight.

Disadvantages: A little costly.

I got given this by a friend as part as a gift set and so was free to lavish it on as I was unaware of the price. It was only that I went to replenish my stock that I realised that a 200g pot would set me back £12.

So does it work? Well when you open the tub you are hit by the most heavenly coconutty fragrance and its texture is delightfully gritty. I get fed up with things that are sold as scrubs and have soft pearly things in - the equivalent of trying to wash your oven with a sponge rather than a scourer. This is definately more on the scourer side of things. Having said that, I also use it on my face as it makes my skin feel delightfuly soft. It can be a little tingly if used on the face which is only to be expected as it is sold as a body scrub, so be careful if you were to try this to avoid the sensitive eye area and rinse with plenty of water.

Oh I would keep it out of reach of children too as it really does smell delicious.

Summary: Does more than what it says on the tin.
