3 of the 4 takes here are sponsored by the brand. That leaves a single independent take, which is not enough to verify a score, so we are holding it back rather than publishing a number built on paid reviews. The takes are below, each labeled.

What the gurus are saying

The grit hits a real sweet spot: particles are substantial enough to actually exfoliate without feeling sharp or traumatic to skin. Gurus praise the blend of physical pumice and three chemical acids working together to leave skin soft and smooth, and note it's gentle enough for regular use (around once weekly in the shower). The eucalyptus version earns particular love for a spa-like feel, though a fragrance-free option exists for anyone sensitive to scent.

    "A body peel that both viewers and I loved was by Necessaire. Their body peel does a beautiful job of exfoliating, leaving the skin soft and smooth."

    "If you like a body scrub, the Necessaire Body Exfoliator is one of my absolute favorites. It comes in a fragrance-free version, but I actually really like the one with the eucalyptus scent, as long as you're not sensitive to fragrance because it really makes you feel like you're at the spa. It combines volcanic pumice for physical exfoliation, and it has salicylic, glycolic, and lactic acid for some chemical exfoliation as well, but it's not harsh."

    "This is definitely my most used Body Exfoliator and I use it probably once a week in the shower with small circular motions. I do like how clean and smooth my skin feels after using this. I feel like this one really hits the sweet spot where the exfoliating particles aren't too small so they actually have a little bit of grit and they're doing something, but they're not so big and gritty and sharp that I feel like they're causing trauma to my skin."

    "The necessary Body Exfoliator is just divine and [...] probably one of the best body exfoliators I've ever used."

    "Out of all the Necessaire line, which I think is a fabulous skincare line, I think the Body Exfoliator is truly my favorite. It has this nice scrub to it so if you're really craving physical exfoliation you totally get that in the shower, but then it also has chemical exfoliants in it like glycolic acid and salicylic acid. You're getting [...] dual action exfoliation."
    ✓Yay
    "This one also has both chemical and physical exfoliant in it. So it has pumice which is a physical exfoliant and it has your chemical exfoliants your glycolic acid, your salicylic acid, your lactic acid. So it's going to do both. [...] Your chemical exfoliants really help to build collagen especially at higher concentrations, but even at lower concentrations they send signals into the dermis to boost collagen production."

    "I love this [...] because besides having a physical exfoliant to it, it's a very gentle scrub. [...] There's a very gentle physical exfoliation to it, but what I really love is that it has AHAs and BHAs in it. It has glycolic acid, it has salicylic acid, and it has lactic acid in it. I think this is just one of their best products and it's one of the best body exfoliators I have ever used. So I almost always have this in my shower."
