I wouldn’t know as I never received the delivery .Businesses may be saving money by using third-party delivery services, but customers are ultimately paying the price when those services don’t take deliveries seriously. My order was delivered to the wrong address, and I never received my items. It seems the driver delivered it to an address that looked remotely similar without properly verifying the location. There needs to be more accountability when companies choose these delivery services because “delivered” should mean delivered to the correct customer not simply dropped off somewhere nearby.

Fresh clean scent

This is my new favorite body wash for the entire family. Gentle on skin, fresh clean scent, and I love the antibacterial properties to get the after school/sports/work/gym grime off! Not drying at all.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product for many many years. I really recommend it. It’s very gentle. I have very dry skin and it really helps with the dry skin all over. Thank you.

Perfect wash

Love the convenience of it better than the bars of soap! Doesnt leave your skin feeling dry how a bar would. No scent which is good for intimate areas.

Itchy, Red Skin

This product gave me dry, itchy skin with red bumps. It turned my face into a raised red rash after using it as well. The scent is also flowery and overpowering. I use the normal dove soap usually. I just want other people to know this can happen even if like me, you don't have sensitive skin.

Beautiful smell/Great Results

I have had a change in body odor since getting Covid years ago and it’s been driving me crazy. This body wash not only smells amazing and fresh, but legitimately cuts down on body odor. I don’t even smell after sweating. I hope they keep it around!

Smells heavenly!

Bought this for my active teenage son who’s very picky with scents. Since it’s anti bacterial, I was expecting it to smell like generic herbal scent. But lo and behold, it smells heavenly. I ended up buying more for myself & my daughter. It is light on the skin & leaves you feeling fresh.
