I had the fortunate opportunity of receiving and reviewing the Kai Gardenia scented sponge through the Vine program, and WOW! When I first removed one from the pretty box, I was surprised it was so hard. But once I put it in the water and it started to ooze its beautiful lather and scent, I was in Bath Heaven. I Loved it so much, I ordered 4 more in the Rose scent, one for me and 3 of my friends. These are just too good, not to share.The sponge itself is hypoallergenic, and the soap is free of parabens, sulfates, phosphates, and is full of good things like Palm Oil for moisturizing, and Glycerin for cleansing. There are times I shy away from Sulphate-free products, as they seem to lack lather, but in this case, it’s different, as there is plenty. The Rose fragrance is fabulous and agreeable, and lingers in my bath, when not in use.The sponge still retains a touch of firmness, but gets softer and softer over time, providing a gentle exfoliation – just enough to wake up your skin. I come out of my bath, feeling soft, so clean, moisturized, smelling gorgeous, and feeling truly pampered. Whether you use it in a tub or shower, it’s equally as enjoyable, and although it seems to be a touch on the expensive side, each one provides about 30 uses. Not too bad, for such a relaxing and indulgent bath or shower that is usually mundane. It also makes a very thoughtful and unique gift as all of my recipients Loved them.I like both scents they offer, but I might be partial to the “rose”. To top it all off I purchased the Kai body glow spray, which moisturizes, and just prolongs and enhances the beautiful scent. I will be a regular purchaser.
This scrub is large and has the perfect amount of exfoliation(and plenty of bubbles!) it’s like a very firm loofah type thing, where you wet it with some shower water and bubbles start to come out of the scrub. They smell really nice and rose-y. You scrub up your body and then set it down to dry so you can use it again next shower. It’s supposed to last for approximately 30 showers. The one thing I don’t like is how you can’t really wring it out since there are bubbles inside that will continuously come out. That means you have to leave the wet and soapy scrub just as it is after you scrub. It dries and you can feel the soap has gotten firm again. I just like the idea of drying things out before leaving them, like a kitchen sponge. The idea is that it would get mildewy if you leave it with tons of water inside. I’ve used it for about a week and it’s fine, no problems at all and still plenty of bubbles. The scent is very light upon leaving the shower and lingers for a little and then dissipates. Overall I give it 4 stars. My favorite thing about it is the exfoliation the sponge gives.
Love it!!! The scent is wonderful and so very luxurious!!!!
Such a lovely fresh scent! Im in love ❤️
It’s a good loofah. Too expensive and a lot of hype.
I love these. They are expensive but last for months and even make the bathroom smell great in between showers.
Smells fantastic, wonderful feeling on the skin but not too harsh and lasts a very long time. Will definitely order more
The rose scent is divine!
I was gifted with the buffer in its original scent (which I really prefer) about 16 years ago. I'm NEVER w/o a duo in my bath basket. yes, it seems "pricey" for 2 bath sponges - each is good for about 1 month's usage. I just add a little shower gel to it after a while. The sponge rinses off easily so there's no residue. It was originally one of Oprah's favorite things for those who notice!
I love this sponge & it makes plenty of suds.
I love these for exfoliation and the smell!
What can I say except you need to try it for yourself to be the judge of this amazing scent , I absolutely love love the smell it’s so intoxicating.
I love this! It’s a indulgence but so worth it. Scent is amazing as well as lather, my whole bathroom smells amazing. Perfect gift for someone who loves bath products
The smell is wonderful, I love this. Moisture in the sponge is nice too.
Wow! Just wow! I was entirely uncertain what to expect. And I was simply bowled over by how luxe and delightful this product really is.Foremost, these arrive separately wrapped in a really cute box. This way, only one buffer is unwrapped at a time and keeps the other one fresh until its needed. A lovely touch.Next, when you run this under water and squeeze, you can instantly see the bubbles ... and detect the heavenly fragrance. Now, begin lightly buffing your skin. After rinsing, moisturize. The clean, exfoliated feeling is incredible!I think what impressed me the most is how when I was showering, the fragrance was rich and soothing. But, when I was getting dressed, I could only lightly notice it. This means that you can layer the other Kai products over this and it will never be cloying or "too much." Very thoughtful!I adore the richness of this lather, the way these make my skin feel, and the incredible fragrance. Even though these are a little pricey, I am so very sold! I will absolutely get these again! Highly, highly recommended! Wow!
I love these body buffers. The rose scent is a little strong though. I could smell the scent from my living room downstairs after showering. That to me isn't a problem because I enjoy rose scent. The buffer sponge feels nice and exfoliating. It didn't dry my skin out either. The price is a little steep but I'd say it's worth it.
This is a unique product. Basically it's a buffing sponge with the soap in the sponge. This has a very strong rose scent to it that is nice. I do have a lot of allergy sensitivities but this scent doesn't bother me.The sponge was a bit rough on my skin the first time I used this. However, after a couple uses this softened up. It is supposed to last ~30 uses. The soap is very moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling very soft. I tend to break out from bath products easily but I didn't have any issues with this soap.I think this is a bit pricey for what you get, but it does seem to be a high quality product. I will continue to use this but probably won't repurchase since I am perfectly happy with just using a scrubbie sponge with bar soap.
