Gentle compared to the yellow bar soap that is antibacterial. Does not leave a crazy soap scum in the tub and rinses clean.

I usually only buy & use the Dove body wash for sensitive skin, but decided on my last order to buy this one also to try it. I used this particular one for one time only and got a bad rash so I threw the bottle in the garbage because the rash was troublesome & painful to me..

The product is fine. The lid is difficult to open when using the product during a shower. It takes a very strong effort to open the lid.

Kate - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I have been using this body wash since 2022, and I have never thought about changing products since! The scent is very clean, and does not irritate my sensitive skin. Also--as a plus size girl, it is easy for sweat and moisture to cause odor especially under the tummy and between the thighs, but the antibacterial properties have completely eliminated this problem for me! Overall, this leaves me feeling so clean and smelling good. This is definitely a holy grail product for me!

I have used this product for years. Purchased two body wash and was very disappointed. The consistency was different very watery. I was afraid to use. Returning both. I also purchased a bag of rice cakes and they were stale. I am returning it also. Very disappointed in Target.

I used to use this version for years. Months ago the formula changed. The scent was wonderful and worked well with my sensitive skin. I first thought someone returned the bottle and switched out the contents with cheap shampoo. No longer works for me and no longer has the scent I loved.
