Most Helpful Positive Review Smells Like Banana Pudding! I'm late 30s with sensitive skin that's dry in the winter, oily in summer, and spontaneously breaks out just for the chaos. I like manual exfoliation a few times a week or whenever I have dry skin. My usual face scrub is Freeman Black Sugar and Charcoal but I like trying new things and haven't seen many sugar face scrubs (they're mostly microbeads that do nothing or overly harsh exfoliants that don't break down at all). This scrub smells like banana pudding, definitely an artificial fragrance and it does linger on skin for a while but I like it. The sugar chonks are on the larger side, similar to what's in the Tree Hut body scrub, but they break down easily when rubbed on skin. If you don't like serious exfoliation on your face, it works great on legs and feet, etc. I haven't seen a difference in my skin with this but it's only one product, I haven't been using it long, and I haven't seen any negative reactions either so I'll take it! :)
Most Helpful Critical Review Not great for face So to start with the pro: it smells really great! The scrub has a lovely banana scent that is sweet and fresh, i absolutely love it!
The cons: well, it just isn't a great face scrub. The scrub feels like raw sugar granules suspended in cleanser. The granules feel too big and are too harsh on my skin and when rubbed into the skin were so far spread out that you don't get a proper exfoliation anyway. When rubbed between my fingers, they disintegrate and wear down better but it almost feels like a waste to use the scrub on my fingers and not my face where it's meant to be used. I will likely finish the tube off on my body instead of my face.
In the photo, I smeared some of the product towards the right and any bubble like texture is actually a sugar granule. I did my best to highlight just how big they are.

This smells really good. It does good job of exfoliating too.
Works, but rough 4
Mily from Undisclosed
This product has a great scent and feel, and overall works really well. I just caution to not rub too hard on your face as to cause damage since it is so abrasive
Great product 5
Cristina from Maryland
I use it 2-3 times a week and it's great on my skin.
Worth a try, if in the market for something new. 4

I recently became a new mom and it has been taking a toll on my face. Sleepless nights have resulted in a dull, dry and tired look. I started to use this product and I feel like it helped a little but I can't be 100% percent sure, as I need more time with the product. What I love about the product is the smell and its texture. It feels like its simply just sugar, banana and oats. The product does not leave your face feeling dry, but with that, it also doesn't feel like its stripping dirt away, as compared to some other scrubs. Some other products seem to have added cleaning agents that after use, your face may be "clean" but its dry and ashy. I prefer this tree nut product over other store bought scrubs,, as it feels as if I'm doing a DIY face scrub without extra chemicals, which is a benefit to owning this product. Additionally, it seems that the product contains more natural ingredients, as these are listed first. However the dyes listed at the end does concern me a bit as these have been linked to having adverse effects in the body. With that being said I'm unsure if I would go out of my way to buy this product versus just making an at home scrub for my face. On the other hand it is convenient to own because as a new mom, there isn't enough time for self care, so being able to quickly access a product that is close enough to a natural product I would recommend to others.
Awesome face scrub 5

I was very impressed with this face scrub. Not an overpowering smell. Great texture. Worked well on my sensitive skin no issues ot reactions.
Delicious smell- left my skin super soft 5
Lauren from Undisclosed
I really loved the nourishing banana @ oat face scrub- the smell was super yummy and it left my skin super smooth. I used it for a week and noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin, overall it felt smoother. I will continue to use the is product.
Good scrub! 4
MPauley07 from Tulsa, OK
Tree Hut Nourishing Banana & Oat Face Scrub it really good. I like that the sugar is quite coarse and doesn't dissolve quickly like other sugar scrubs. I actually feel like I'm scrubbing my face pretty well. It has a nice banana scent like a laffy taffy candy, but after that scent goes away, it's really strong perfume scent. It's the only thing I didn't like about it. I feel that it cleaned my face well and I like how it moisturize my face instead of leaving it so dry and raw like most face scrubs.
Amazing! 5
Punk from Birmingham
I absolutely loved this product. It wasn't harsh to my at all. The smell is heavenly. Nice cleaning agent. I use it twice a day. Once in the morning and once before bed. It didn't dry my face like previous scrubs. It didn't sting once I rinsed it off.
Smells nice and is relaxing 4
Mindy from Harpers Ferry, WV
I tried the Nourishing Banana & Oat Face Scrub. I was excited to try this scrub as I had run out of my other facial scrub. I had not bought another scrub for quite a long time, and with Winter being in full swing, I was getting the usual dry skin. However, it seemed the more I washed my face, the more flakes I got. When I put some of this scrub on my hand, I was surprised at how big the grain was. I would say it felt something like pieces of the chunky raw sugar, maybe even a tad larger. I was worried that it would feel abrasive due to the size of the "scrubbing chunks," but using this scrub felt somewhat relaxing and event a tad invigorating! After the first use there was no more dry skin on my face. Of course, I followed up with a face lotion. I also really like this scent. I'm not a huge banana person, so I was not sure how I would like the smell of this. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the scent itself was mild and just felt soothing to smell. The next time I used Nourishing Banana & Oat Face Scrub, I decided to exfoliate my face twice. That was not the best idea I have had in my lifetime. Even after putting on two different face creams, there were still small flakes of skin peeling off my face. Luckily they were small, so I don't think anyone else would notice except myself. Nourishing Banana & Oat Face Scrub says to only use 2 or 3 times a week in the directions. So, moral of the story is: This is an excellent facial scrub, the scent is mild and soothing, the scrub is relaxing and invigorating, and follow the directions to use only 2 or 3 times a week; don't over-exfoliate as I did.
Great scrub 5
Kimberly16 from South Carolina
Thia scrub is wonderful! It's not too rough but has the perfect amount of scrubbing action to wash away dead skin. The smell is wonderful and my face feels great after!
Love! 4
Eli from Los Angeles
So I will start that I am not the biggest fan of the banana scent but it isn't very strong in this product. But aside from that it works so great on my skin. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth after each use. And it is definitely nourishing. I already love Tree Hut for their body scrubs so I didn't expect anything less from them.
Softer skin 4
Sweetayla from Tennessee
I don't even like banana items but this smells so amazing and it feels extremely good definitely can feel it picking up dead skin because it leaves the skin so soft afterwards. You can even use it on your lips to pick the dead skin up and make your lips nice and plump .
nice smell, not much scrub 3
sara from CT
this product smells very nice, but has a weird scrub consistency. i feel like i'd have to use the whole bottle to cover my entire face. its hard to explain, but once you start to use it the scrub aspects almost disappear leaving you to reuse the product more.
Soft as a Baby Bum 5
Kay from Arlington Tx
Let me start by saying this stuff smells amazing, makes my face so smooth, it literally scrubs any scab from a pimple and smoothes it out. My husband tried it one time and now he won't stop using it. I will have to buy more because he uses all the time now too.
Nice clean not great feel 3
Bella from Portland Oregon
Pros: smells nice, not sticky, good ingredients, easy to use, cleans face well, and does not hurt when massaging in even though there are hard particles. Did not make me break out or have any adverse effects on my skin beyond dryness.
Cons: does not moisturize. One of the top things I look for in a scrub is helps with healthy skin, after using this product my skin was dry and required a moisturizer. I'm fine with a 2 part system, but the label has no moisturizer suggestion from the same line and only suggests you use it 2-3 times a week. For me, for now I'll go back to my daily sugar face scrub since I don't have to moisturize for at least 6 hours after washing.

Smells amazing 4
Jess from Ny
This product smells amazing. When using, it does not irritate my skin at all. Plus it left it shiny and soft which is a must during these harsh winters.

Incredible! 5
Vanessa from Pennsylvania
I am in love! This scrub is so lovely, the smell is intoxicating (the ripest banana) and my face is so smooth after use. I have now added this to my regular routine. My only change would be adding more of the scrubbing oats!
Nice sugar scrub 5
Pochlm from Phoenix Arizona
I really like how mild and sweet smelling this scrub is. Smells lightly like bananas- yummy enough to want to eat! Sugar crystals do a good job exfoliating without being too harsh.
Love it 5
Sarah from Ny
First off, I absolutely love Tree Hut products!! This face scrub is amazing! It smells wonderful and leave my face feeling clean and smooth!
So fresh 5
Janie7717 from Va
This face scrub is amazing and it smells great cleans the day away while leaving my face soft and fresh
Smells good though! 3
Mrs. G from Atlanta, GA
I enjoyed the smell of the Banana Hut face scrub. My skin doesn't feel stripped of its natural oils. The reason why I gave it 3 stars is because the sugar particles are too large and I feel as if my face had been scratched up. My face actually hurts now.
Effective Scrub for Dry Skin! 5
Virginia from Atlanta, GA
My skin is dry and a good yet gentle scrub is necessary to keep my face clear of dead skin while not aggravating it so much as to cause a breakout. I found this scrub to be very effective and had a very healthy amount of sugar in the scrub to help exfoliate my skin. The smell is pleasant and smells like banana and oat without being oppressively fragrant. This is a lovely scrub and I highly recommend it for those with dry, flaky skin!
Combination skin 3
Ky3D from Tn
I'm on the fence about this product. I have combination skin and it usually takes me sometime to decide if a product works for me. I wash my face at night only. This face scrub made my skin feel kind of oily. However, after I toned my face and slept, my skin was not as dry as it normally is and I didn't have to use as much moisturizer.
