Guests are saying
This body wash is praised for its gentle exfoliation and effectiveness in smoothing rough skin, particularly for those with keratosis pilaris. Guests appreciate its fragrance-free formula, which is suitable for sensitive skin. While the product does not lather much, many find that it leaves their skin feeling soft and hydrated. However, the pump design has received criticism for being difficult to use, requiring multiple pumps to dispense enough product.

Great value
The product applies smoothly to the skin and scalp, allowing for even coverage without mess or buildup. Its practical packaging supports precise application, while the effective formula delivers noticeable results with regular use.

Good
This body wash I’m in love with it makes my skin feel so good and smooth and moisturized, it lathers on my skin so nice and it is worth it and not much money.

Decent product
Does the job well…what you get is what you expect, worth the price in my opinion. Will look to try it for a longer time as well to make a better review too

NOT GLUTEN FREE
When I used this, I broke out into a rash! I was so shocked because it’s supposed to be gentle for sensitive skin. I believe the Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate is made from wheat. I have a wheat allergy so I can’t use this. Makes sense it’s not gluten-free!

Doesn't lather, doesn't spread, and pump is awful
It takes a lot of product to get enough to feel clean, and the pump is terrible for the consistency of the product.

TEXTURE CONTROLLING
An affordable brand generally and this body wash is no exception. It’s doesn’t lather at all so that may be unappealing to some. But that really wasn’t my issue. I’m used to the feeling of products that don’t sud up and I prefer them at times. The real issue was more so the pump on the bottle. I don’t know if it was just my bottle or a product defect but it would barely give me any product. I had to pump like a million times just to get even a quarter sized amount. Which is ridiculous. What I enjoyed though was that it was scentless. And after using it my skin felt smoothed and my the more bump rough textured spots on my skin were as a whole reduced in appearance surface wise. I assumed I’d face some dryness because it is exfoliating, and my body skin type is very dry but surprisingly my skin felt replenished and clean. My lotions applied on great and my skin felt luminous and hydrated.

Doesn't lather, who cares it's amazing
No, this product doesn’t lather. If you absolutely need a body wash that lathers, keep looking. HOWEVER, this is the ONLY body wash that will smooth my bumpy, keratosis pilaris riddled skin!! It soothes red and bumpy areas by the next day, it is amazing. I don’t need to use it every day to achieve smoother skin. I’ll keep defending this product because it works so well for bumpy skin, it’s my holy grail product for KP!!

Good when you know what you're buying
I bought this somewhere else and I love it. Similarly to how Cetaphil's gentle skin cleansers don't later, this body wash doesn't lather as much as a traditional body wash. It will slightly lather if you use a pouf or other means and really work it. I knew this already and it wasn't a problem. The one star reviews are unnecessary - just because something doesn't lather doesn't mean it's not working. I've been using this body wash for a month and I believe this has been helping my ingrown hair scars, dark knees, keratosis pilaris, and the dark mark from eczema on my arm. I try to leave it on as long as possible before washing it off. Weirdly, I don't mind the scent but I see how some people might find it offputting. I mix it with my scented body wash when I want to smell nicer.

So soft!
Made my chicken skin go away. I even shave with it. It calmed my skin down after a bad reaction to antibiotics and this saved me. And good for a quick wash when you want one product to hit face to toe. I love pairing with cereve in shower lotion post shower

Use with a loofah for more suds
This product so far is good. I love that it is fragrance free and hypoallergenic. I feel good after using it. I see a lot of comments saying it doesn’t lather up well. I use a loofah and with two pumps it lathers up well. I can’t imagine using it with a regular rag. I could see it not sudding up as much.

Eczema relief
My daughter has struggled with exzema for years. We tried thick lotions and all kinds of body washes. This was the only one that stopped her itching, got rid of her little bumps on her legs and arms. We use this now as a flare up body wash only using it 2-3x month sometimes once a week. It just doesnt lather great.

Not sure if it's doing anything
I recently was told to cut fragrance from any products that I use by my dermatologist and I got this because it is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. I don't know if it's because I got a bad batch or something but this product does not lather up at all. I wasn't expecting a super foamy lather but I was expecting something and this just felt like a lotion, I kept rubbing it in my hands, and not even a bit of foam formed.

Pump Dispenser Problematic
I like the product, nice light exfoliation without being too abrasive. My problem is with the bottle design, the pump top doesn't work correctly, each time I press down, I need to pull it back up before I can press again for more soap.

Holy Grail for Acne and Bumpy Skin.
Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide never worked on my acne. I tried for years. I bought this and my skin has cleared up. The lactic acid is perfect for my skin type. My bumpy acne skin is a thing of the past. I will forever use this. If you have dry skin make sure you use some lotion after using this!

Buy for soft, beauitful skin!
I have rough and bumpy skin. This has been amazing for the overall texture of my skin. My skin is softer, is more even toned, and is just overall healthier. The lack of lather does not bother me because my skin feels so amazing afterwards. My only complaint is the pump is kind of difficult to use, but that won’t deter me from buying it again because it’s been so lovely for my skin.
