Exfoliates nicely and lathers up well
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
Exfoliates nicely without being too abrasive, also lathers up very well. It dries super quick after use and holds up well.

Highly recommended
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I was very surprised how much I love this product. It is not too abrasive but exfoliates so well leaving me nice and smooth. The length is not too long to be cumbersome but has lot of stretch to get the back and other body parts with ease. Highly recommend if you are looking for something extra to add to your routine!

The search is over for the perfect exfoliator!
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased the Multi-pack that comes with 3 exfoliating cloths; apricot, teal, and gray. Can’t speak on the difference between the 3 levels of exfoliating — HOWEVER, these cloths are: • generously stretchy (they bounce back to original form after drying & the stretch allows for back exfoliation) • made of quality material (nice & thick) • scrunchable to be able to use like regular (natural & plasticity) bath loofahs In the past, I’ve had this type of exfoliating cloth (I’ve tried different brands, some had plastic handles, some made with loofah, and so on..) but they never held up that well. These are great! I’d repeat-buy these for sure.
