Unusual product
Let me start by saying I love all things Lush! I try not to go in too often or I would spend too much money there, but I especially love their bath products. Which is how I came upon a generous sample of this product. I was purchasing some bath bombs, including Sakura (one of my favorites), which has a cherry blossom-type scent (mimosa blossom is what they call it on their website). The nice lady ...read moreat the register asked if I had tried Rub Rub Rub which is the same scent, and I told her no. I didn't even know they had any other products in that scent! So she made me a sample. What fascinates me about it is that they call it a shower gel, but you find it on the website under "shower scrubs" and many of the reviewers, myself included, think of it as a scrub. Which it sort of is, but it also sort of isn't. The gritty particles are salt and they seem to dissolve away pretty quickly once I start rubbing it on my body. This is not anything I've experienced with any salt scrub ever before and even though I seem to get less exfoliation from it, I don't mind because it's also less harsh on my skin and easier to rinse off. It's also a crazy bright blue color, which kind of bugs me, but not for any reason that should prevent anyone (including myself) from buying it. The product photo shown here (as I'm writing this) shows the product being sold in the bottle but right now the store is selling it in a tub. Which really makes the most sense, because it is thicker than a regular shower gel. In fact, it's even thicker than some scrubs I've used. The scent is amazing--exactly the same as the Sakura bath bomb, as the employee promised me. But I haven't decided yet whether I want to purchase the full size (currently $22 for not quite twelve ounces). They say a little goes a long way, so perhaps I'll give it a try and if I can't live without it after one tub, then it will be worth the cost!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Lovely shower scrub
This is one of my absolute favorite Lush products! I use this in the shower before shaving. It smells ah-maaazing, really clean with jasmine and orange blossom. When I use this, my shave is so much smoother and my skin feels nourished. This has oils in it that moisturize your skin, but don't leave a residue at all. I was worried that a scrub may be too harsh and could dry out my skin but the ...read moreingredients in this strike the perfect balance. I also like that this is a bright blue color so you can see everywhere you've spread it. I thought I would only use this once a week, but it is so lovely that I use it in practically every shower! Just take a scoop and spread this over the parts of your body that you want exfoliated. It lathers up just a bit and the salt scrub dissolves, rinsing away clean. I have about a third of my tub left and I am already planning my next visit to Lush because I can't be without this now.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Did I get a bad batch?
Lush's website features dozens of raves for this product's smell. There is also a handful of reviewers who likened Rub Rub Rub to "burning rubber," "chemicals," and "Drano." I disagree ... it actually smells like all of those things. The smell eclipsed what is otherwise a decent shower gel. Pour it onto a netted sponge to generate tons of lather, or manually rub it on...read more to get the full sensation of the salt scratching itchy skin.
