As a beauty writer who tests hundreds of products a year (and that's truly not much of an exaggeration), I'm a little embarrassed to admit that it took me way too long to try Tree Hut's internet-famous body scrub. I'd seen it in more "Everything Shower" beauty hauls on TikTok than I could count, and for a while, I was skeptical of the hype. But flash-forward to today, and I'm as obsessed as anyone. My introduction to the brand was the now-discontinued limited-edition candy cane scent, but these days, I reach for the Tree Hut Vanilla Shea Sugar Exfoliating & Hydrating Body Scrub ($8, originally $11) on repeat. Keep reading for my honest review of this delicious-smelling body scrub.

What I Like About the Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub
For starters, the vanilla scent is, as shoppers have described, heavenly. It's warm, sweet, and rich without being too overpowering (as I find is the case with some vanilla-scented products). As for the texture, it's thick with sugar grains that are noticeable but don't feel too harsh on the skin. After just one use, my skin felt noticeably softer and silkier. That's no major surprise, given that Tree Hut's body scrubs feature a blend of botanically-sourced oils. As someone with dry skin, I feel good about using this formula since it's a great balance of exfoliation and hydration.
What to Consider About the Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub
Most shoppers deem this body scrub a must-have, though some reviewers are more critical. Two reviewers mentioned that while they loved the smell and skin-softening benefits, they found the formula to be a little too "runny" and "watery." I didn't find it to be either. In my experience, it was thick yet spreadable.
Though an obvious observation, the scent might be too strong for those sensitive to fragrances, and it won't be a hit among those who exclusively use fragrance-free products.
Where Is the Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub Available?
