Also noted on the packaging is "+ a bright clementine scent."

Trader Joe's Firming Body Butter Review

REVIEW (Bridget): While I'm not sure about the "firming" claim, I can tell you that Trader Joe's Firming Body Butter has made my rough, dry skin softer! Woo hoo! The clementine scent is quite strong, so I used it sparingly during the day. The smell reminds me of orange baby aspirin. One night, I decided to use it before bed. I slathered it on, and the next morning, my skin was noticeably softer and smoother. Thick and creamy, the body butter will pill when rubbed if applied generously. It tends to sit on the skin for quite a while rather than absorbing. Also, it can leave a mark on dark clothing before it fully absorbs. I'll continue using this at night...and hope they come out with an unscented version! 

Overall rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Will I buy it again? I think so, although I'd really prefer an unscented or lightly-scented version that doesn't clash with my perfume. 

Trader Joe's Firming Body Butter: It smooths and softens skin but is heavily scented.
