If winter has your skin feeling more flaky pastry than smooth latte foam, you’re not alone — and according to shoppers, this just-under $10 seasonal scrub is the fastest fix. Tree Hut’s Merry Mint Shea Sugar Scrub is back for the holidays, and reviewers say it turns dry, tight skin into “baby soft” skin in a single shower. One shopper even said they could still smell the sweet peppermint “hours after my shower.”

The formula itself isn’t complicated — and that’s kind of the point. It’s the same sugar-based exfoliator Tree Hut is known for, buffing away dead skin without feeling scratchy or drying. The difference is the scent: a mix of iced peppermint, cotton candy, and warm vanilla that one shopper said “smells like peppermint and Christmas time.” Another person who left a five-star review titled “Loved so so so much” said it “will definitely be a staple of mine throughout the holiday season.”

Even people who don’t consider themselves “scrub people” are suddenly converts. One reviewer wrote, “I’ve never been a consistent sugar scrub user before, but this product completely won me over. I’ll definitely be adding it to my regular routine.” Another agreed, calling the sweet-but-minty sugar scrub “the top notch of exfoliants” and adding that it’s now a household favorite.

Because it’s made with shea butter and natural oils like avocado and sweet almond, this festive holiday body scrub hydrates while it exfoliates — which means you’re not stepping out of the shower feeling tight or coated. Multiple reviewers mention skipping lotion afterward, which is practically a holiday miracle for anyone dealing with peak radiator-heat dryness.

At just under $10, it’s also in the sweet spot for stocking stuffers, Secret Santa gifts, or just a self-care restock before the weather gets mean. As one shopper put it: “I absolutely love this product and will be buying more and trying other scents as well!”

Whether you’re battling dry skin or building a stocking stuffer lineup, reviewers say that Tree Hut’s Merry Mint Sugar Scrub earns its spot. If you’ve been looking for a simple but festive body scrub, why not give it a try for yourself?
