No really, I had that passionate sex with the gingerbread man today, yesterday and definitely tomorrow. Andy jealous yet? This stuff rocks my world. I finished my J aqua Girls Sugar ...

My poor husband -- he knows, but he's powerless to do anything about it. There's just something about this man that softens my skin and soothes my nerves, plus he smells so good! The perfect man? I think not. The perfect exfoliator? Bingo!

Pros: no oil, leaves skin soft and smooth, heavenly scent
Cons: only available on ebay

I am a complete bath and body nut. If it's possible, I think I love a really nice shower gel or lotion more than any makeup. I love to feel pampered and pretty by using products that make my skin feel good and smell good. One of my favorite products is a...

Pros: oil-free, plastic jar, does leave you feeling soft..but name me a salt scrub that doesn't?
Cons: doesn't smell like gingerbread (think gingerALE), minimal warming, salt forms a hard clump in jar.

I love sweet smelling body products and when I heard about Philosophy's The Gingerbread Man, I was excited. I love that smell of warm gingerbread cookies during the holidays, and the thought that someone had bottled that scent in a scrumptious body ...

Pros: Plastic tub; product rinses cleanly
Cons: Price; doesn't live up to Philosophy's claims

You’ve got to hand it to the people at Philosophy: they’ve certainly got the consumer pegged. With its thought-provoking sayings, simple packaging, and wide variety of products and fragrances, Philosophy has gained an almost cult-like following ...

Pros: Smells Wonderful, Works Wonders On Dry Skin
Cons: Self-Heating Didn't Work For Me, Limited Edition (Don't Get Too Attached!)

When I saw Philosophy’s latest (and, unfortunately, limited) body scrub offering called The Gingerbread Man, I knew that I had to try it. I’m a big sucker for all things ginger-y and spicy, so any willpower I may have had basically went out the...

Pros: smells divine! A little love goes a long way - -gives facials too!
Cons: hmmm... no lotion, spray or bath wash. I want more!!!

Though not quite in the Devinyls sort of way! After hearing lots of hype (see below) I had to add the tub of luvin' scrub to my list at Drugstore.com. I have not regretted it! The Hype "he calls, but only to tell you he has to ...

Pros: Lasts a very long time, easy to use, smells good, not oily
Cons: Too Expensive & Doesn't have a significant warming effect

The Gingerbread man is easy to use and doesn't make the shower or tub slippery, which is awesome! My only problem with the product is that it claims to have a warming sensation when used. To be honest, with the warm/hot shower water, the warming sensation from the scrub is hardly noticeable, if at all!

The smell was not at all what I expected, but it still smelled good. It smells more like true ginger, rather than an actual gingerbread bakery item.

I enjoyed the product while it lasted (which was a very long time), but I don't think I will buy it again. Body scrubs from other popular specialty bath and body stores work just as well and for a better price.

Pros: Smell
Cons: Painful if sensitive

I bought this for the smell. It does not smell like gingerbread, it smells like actual ginger. Very fresh and a little spicy. This is a salt scrub so if you are sensitive like me, watch out. I followed the directions and rubbed this on dry skin and it made me very red and irritated. It actually hurt and I had to hurry and wash it off. I tried to use it with water and it still bothered my skin. I'm sure it would be great for people who are not sensitive.

Pros: Works effectively, thick and rich formula
Cons: Bad for sensitive skin, expensive

This is an amazing product. I used the Gingerbread Man body wash from Philosophy and HATED it. In fact, I gave it away. I was unsure about this scrub, but thought I'd give it a try. I have never used anything that made my skin as smooth and soft as this product has.

The texture is very grainy and thick - it looks almost like molasses. I would advised people with sensitive skin, rashes, etc. NOT to use this product, however, as it is fairly harsh. With normal skin, it advises not to use more than once or twice a week.

You rub it on DRY skin for 1-2 minutes in a circular motion and rinse off. It is a little tough rubbing into the skin due to the extreme thickness of the scrub, but boy does it work! When rinsed off, my skin was silky smooth and soft. I was amazed.

This product is fairly pricey, but you can find it online for much cheaper. The tub will last a long time. Another great product from Philosophy!

Pros: texture is nice
Cons: smells like ginger, not gingerbread

I was really excited to get this as a gift last year, but was extremely disappointed with the smell. The advertisement says that it smells like gingerbread, but the container says that it smells like ginger-which is so nasty that I tried giving it to other people in my family. No one wants it-they don't like the smell either.
