Short Answer: Definitely Sephora over Fresh

Long Answer: So I had debated a lot whether to try the Sephora Sugar Body Scrub or Fresh Sugar Body Scrub. I decided to try Fresh because I love their Brown Sugar Face Scrub (Amazing!) and it was more expensive and therefore the better product right? Wrongo!! The Fresh body scrub was way too abrasive. The granuals are too big and I felt like there wasn't enough oil and therefore the granuals didn't melt into your skin as you rub like they do with other scrubs. It felt more like rubbing sharp rocks on my body. No bueno. So I returned the Fresh and asked the sales associate for help and she actually discouraged me from getting the Sephora brand but I couldn't help thinking that it seemed perfect cause there was more oil and smaller granuals. So I tried it and I am so happy that I did. It is way better than Fresh's Body Scrub in my opinion and much cheaper so it's a win win. The only down side for me has been that it made my chest break out, my chest and neck are super sensitive so I don't use it there anymore. It has been amazing for my arms though. I've always had those little bumps on my arms that drive me crazy but when I use this and put on lotion afterwards I don't feel any bumps. I haven't found anything else that has given me those kind of results so I love it. Also it smells wonderful which makes the experience complete in my book.

I have not tried it before

This product is not as good as the Sugar Body Scrub; but it is good for the price. I would definately get the Sugar Body Scrub for a good exfloation.

I have bought both and this is the better deal. If I was richer (I'm a student), I think I'd splurge for the Fresh but this stuff has better scrubbers and the scent is just as good. It smells good even after you're out of the shower and your skin feels nice and moisturized. Definitely try this.

This is just as good as the Fresh Body Scrub. The scent is not as strong but still very similar.

I tried that in store and honestly they are almost similar. The brown sugar scrub has a lighter smell but when it comes down to it they are pretty much the same!

This is as close as you're going to get without spending $40 for a tub of it. The Fresh scrub has larger sugar granules in it, and has more oil, but honestly I like this just as much, and is definately more worth it for the price

IMO & after trying both, this is the BEST...... For me, the "Fresh brown sugar scrub' was too abrasive..... This is perfect.........

Sephora sugar body scrub is better......not as greasy....

I would say this goes above and beyond the Fresh scrub, the reason I had tried the Sephora brand was because I had gotten the Fresh scrub last summer and loved it, but couldn't justify spending as much this year... now I'm in love with this scrub and find the smell even better than that of the other brand!!!

This product worked like a $80 scrub but with a smaller price tag

the smell is almost non-existent and it certainly doesn't last. if i had to describe it i guess i'd say a very faint hint of chocolately burnt sugar. nice but very subtle.

I noticed their was a very light alcoholish scent to it. Nothing too overwhelming.Try it in store to see for your self

It smells heavenly, almost like you have just got out of a bubble bath. My husband always comments on how good I smell after I use this. It also leave my skin feeling baby soft.

Apricot oil. The smell is very light and doesn't really linger after you towel off.

its more of a honey oil lemon-y scent... its really girly and light but lasts quite a while

It has a sweet sugary smell, but its not overpowering.

It smells very similar to Lipton sweetened powdered iced tea mix. I know that may sound weird but that is the only thing I could think to compare it with. It smells REALLY good

Really does smell like brown sugar.

The scrub had a very delicate smell. It didn't knock me out when I smelled it (I'm very picky about scents). It's not overpowering at all.

It smells like lemon cake frosting, but not a fake lemon smell. A true natural lemon smell. The sugar in the scrub mixed with the lemon smell is what probably makes me think of frosting.

IMO, this product has a very light scent, very subtle.... I was a HUGE fan of the Sephora Brand of their Body & Bath collection & 'always' used all the products in the almond coconut for loved the scent being so subtle, yet it was there...... Unfortunately, they recently discontinued all in that line & am now using this body scrub, which I find to 'almost' as lovely as the other & perfect in the light scent for you can use your fav' body butter after........ Not abrasive & leaves skin sooo soft... I think you'll like it, I know I do......

It smeels like a wonderful coconut bubble bath.

Cant really say, its like a nice lite scent. I love it!

It doesn't smell "fake". A big sweet, but not in a bad way.

It smells sweet but not "food-like" at all.

The frangrance is lovely.. It's soft and "delicious'....Not a food smell but a good smell :o)

It smells similar to powdered sweetened ice tea mix. It smells really good to me but I don't mind smelling like sweet food related items.

This definitely has the sugary smell, with some vanilla in there too. I prefer a more citrusy scent myself.

I like the smell. Sweet like brown sugar.

Sweet brown sugar with hints of citrus

Hello,

It is a oil based product and will leave your skin feeling very smooth and hydrated.

Yes, I found it EXTREMELY oily.

It will feel oily at first right when you use it but it's not an overpowering feel. The oil is absorbed quickly into the skin after showering. Works great, I have nothing bad to say about it!

YES. This is an oily product. It's one thing that I wasn't expecting when I ordered it.

i agree with kirabunny in that it's not oily in the way you would think. it's so silky it may feel oily, but it doesn't leave a greasy residue/ feel at all.

my sister, who is really picky about what she uses on her skin, used this (after much nagging from me) and even though she wasn't in love with it, she said it made her skin feel soft. no complaints of oily skin and her skin is more oily than anything.

my skin is actually more dry, so i like to moisturize if my skin is feeling like it needs extra hydration, but i love this stuff and would recommend it to anyone.

yes, the crystals are in an oil based solution, leaves your skin soft and no lotion is needed after shower. I love it!

Yes, but you let it air dry and it feels wonderful.

it is made of different oils and makes the skin feel so silky it may feel oily, if that makes any sense

It feels a bit oily to the touch after application... but its not like you would normally think of oily. It is almost like a "sheen" if you catch my dirft. It's nothing unbearable nor anything that would oil your clothes. I LOVE this stuff and would recommend it!

no, it does make it soft and smooth

I find it's really good for smoothing out rough patches like elbows, knees, and heels, however it's a little rough so I feel like it would be too rough for your face!

I feel like this would be much too oily for the face. It's gentle, but oily.
