Best body scrub: what 2,824 reviews agree on

We read 2,824 reviews of three popular body scrubs at Ulta, Sephora and Target to see which one reviewers say smooths skin, which helps KP bumps and which smells best: Tree Hut Moroccan Rose Shea Sugar Scrub, Naturium KP Body Scrub & Mask (paid link) and First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub. Each is an exfoliating body scrub: Tree Hut is a sugar scrub with oils and a rose scent, and the other two pair pumice with exfoliating acids.

Smoothness praise is close across the board, 35% to 39%. The differences are bumps, scent and packaging. First Aid Beauty leads on bump and KP praise (55%) and on would buy again (20%), Naturium follows on bumps (29%) and matches Tree Hut on smoother skin (39% and 38%), and Tree Hut leads on scent praise (74%) with few complaints.

How we read 2,824 reviews at Ulta, Sephora and Target

This time we read every review each retailer served for these three scrubs, with no fixed target. Ulta's review pages stop after the newest 300, so for Tree Hut and First Aid Beauty we read all 300 Ulta served and removed repeats; Naturium's Ulta page had fewer, and we read them all. At Sephora we read every US English review of First Aid Beauty, and at Target every review written on Target's site. Reviews that Sephora or Target mark as incentivized, written by staff or copied from another site were skipped unread: 197 at Sephora and 716 at Target, including 617 of the 624 on Target's First Aid Beauty page.

Of the 2,824 we read, 366 were set aside. Ulta's First Aid Beauty page had a free-sample wave from February to June 2026 (189 of those 258 reviews said the scrub was free), so we set aside all five months. Another 108 were about another product or another Tree Hut scent (60, most on Ulta's Tree Hut page, which also collects reviews of other scents), said it was free or a sample (27), came from someone who had not used it (12), had no real text (4), were about shipping (4) or were in another language (1). That leaves 2,458 usable reviews: 900 for Tree Hut, 202 for Naturium and 1,356 for First Aid Beauty. [R-ULT-TH] [R-TGT-TH] [R-ULT-NA] [R-TGT-NA] [R-ULT-FAB] [R-SEP-FAB] [R-TGT-FAB]

Some cautions. Naturium's sample is much smaller than the other two. First Aid Beauty's count comes almost entirely from Sephora (1,331 of 1,356, where the full size and the mini share one page: 1,071 and 260), and 1,020 of its reviews are from 2019 to 2022, before its newer coconut, peach and strawberry versions; a handful of recent reviews describe those. Most Tree Hut reviews (605 of 900) are from 2020 to 2022, and Ulta's Tree Hut page also collects other scents; we set aside reviews about another scent, but reviews that name no scent were kept. Star ratings are not comparable across retailers, so we compare what reviewers describe. [R-ULT-TH] [R-TGT-TH] [R-ULT-NA] [R-TGT-NA] [R-ULT-FAB] [R-SEP-FAB] [R-TGT-FAB]
