Q: Should this body wash be used with a loofa? Or is a washrag better? What would be the best "tool" to use with this?

submitted by AM - 2 years ago
  • A: I would recommend using a African net cloth if you have one, as they don't hold as much bacteria as loofas and washcloths hold! 🚿 you can get one on Amazon and if you need to breaking it in, boil it.

    submitted byChaery - 2 years ago
  • A: The Body Wash’s may be applied by hand, but we find customers who desire a richer lather enjoy using a loofa. Try both ways and see what feels best to you!

    submitted byNaturium - 2 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Hey, Great question! It is a personal choice, washcloths and shower loofahs can harbor mold, germs and bacteria. We recommend to wring out the water and hang in an area to properly dry!

Q: What percentage of Salicylic Acid is there?

submitted by In - 3 years ago
  • A: For what it's worth, Naturium's marketing video on YouTube says this body wash has 0.5% salicylic.

    submitted byNo Mint Please - 2 years ago
  • A: I've used this for over 3 months, and found it to be less effective than the Cerave SA Renew cleanser, which is transparent about their salicylic acid strength of 0.5%.

    submitted byrojo - 3 years ago
  • A: While we don't disclose our specific ingredient percentages in our proprietary complex, we believe our formula should not irritate your skin, while providing a very high level of performance efficacy.

Q: How do you open the pump top? It’s not popping up when I twist it.

submitted by Seeking side table - 27 days ago
  • A: Hello there, We understand that sometimes they can get a little stuck. Try opening the top of the bottle entirely (twisting the whole thing off and lifting the entire pump and dip tube out of the bottle) to release some air pressure; then tightening the top back on and then trying twisting the pump part again. Hope that helps!

    My KP Transformation - My regimine in review

    I'm eager to share my experience with Naturium The Perfector! I've had moderate keratosis pilaris (KP) since childhood, and it's been a lifelong struggle. But after using this product for just 2 weeks, paired with the EcoTools Pink Bath + Shower Gloves, my skin is smoother than ever. *The Results* I'm blown away by the results! My skin is about 80% smoother to the touch, although I can still see some KP visually. I'm hoping it will continue to improve over time. *My Routine* Here's how I use the product: 1. Wash my hair and body (except for the area I'm treating with the product) 2. Wet the EcoTools body glove and turn off the shower 3. Apply the body wash gel directly to my skin 4. Put on the gloves and gently exfoliate for 2 minutes without running water. It actually feels so nice that I look forward to my showers now! Therapeutic in a way 5. Rinse and moisturize with Naturium Bio-Lipid Restoring Body Lotion *Tips* - Don't rub too hard; let the product work its magic over time. - Use the gloves to help exfoliate and get the most out of the product. *Hope for fellow KP sufferers* I'm 45, and this is the smoothest my skin has ever been. I hope this review helps others with KP find a solution that works for them! I am about half way through the first bottle and I already bought the second bottle!!

    Loveeee

    Naturium is great! Haven’t bought anything I didn’t like. I was up in the air between this one and the glycolic acid body wash but google versus reviews between the two led me to this one instead! This, with the KP body scrub and mask and the byoma resurface cleanser has made my KP bumps go away! And I have the smallest patch of chicken skin that is almost gone as well. Great for any type of body acne. Especially sweat pimples on the bottom!! Doesn’t dry out the skin either with all the exfoliation! Peach slices pimple moisturizer after the shower and my body has never felt smoother with all these products!

    Best salicylic acid product on the market

    I have acne on my arms and back and since using this, my skin is so smooth and clear! It helps to fade scarring as well. It is incredibly gentle and effective. I always use this after a workout to get a deep but gentle clean.

    Great for dry skin.

    Product works! For those folks saying the product broke out their skin, here's the deal. When you begin to use an exfoliant such as Salicylic Acid, your skin begins to purge the yuck under your skin. Your body is getting rid of the oil and keratin that lives in the deeper layers of the skin. Many people go through the same thing when starting an exfoliant. In the case of Salicylic Acid, it exfoliants from underneath the skin as opposed to Glycolic or Lactic which exfoliates from the top of the skin and down. Hope this helps! Always do a patch test. An allergic reaction is not the fault of the product but a reaction to an ingredient.

    Cleared my back!

    I've struggled with acne on my back for years. I've tried other salicylic acid body washes in the past, but they were all too harsh making my back itchy not clearing the acne up. This product completely changed my back. The skin is no longer red and bumpy but soft and clear. Couldn't recommend this product enough especially if you have body acne.

    Best body wash I have ever used

    I have dry skin and acne which makes it hard to find a gentle but effective body wash. Within two weeks my skin looks so much better and my keratosis on my arms is practically gone. No fragrance and a gel like texture. Bottle is large and lasts me about 3-4 months with daily use. Dosen’t dry out skin.

    Great results

    This body wash was so great for improving my skin. After a few uses my skin felt much softer. On the bottle there is also a small fine printing that says it can also be used as a facial cleanser. I am not too trusting of it working as a facial cleanser so I only use it for that purpose every once and a while (typically once a month) and when I have done so, I have also seen the same results.
