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 - 3 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 - 3 years ago
    Brand expert
  • 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: 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 - 4 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.

    submitted byNaturium - 4 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: For what it's worth, Naturium's marketing video on YouTube says this body wash has 0.5% salicylic.

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

submitted by Seeking side table - 8 months ago
  • A: Should we be twisting clockwise or counter clockwise? This is very disappointing packaging

    submitted byFJ - 4 months 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!

    What is going on with the smell!

    I got a bottle a couple months ago and liked it because it helped my back acne. So I bought it again recently. After reading recent reviews, I agree that there is a weird smell with this batch. I thought I was going crazy or something. I can’t even describe what it smells like but it is not pleasant. Natrium, please fix it.

    Eczema outbreak

    I believe this caused my eczema outbreak. Purchased June 26, 2026 I only used it for about a week or two and now experiencing eczema flares all over my body. If you have sensitive skin beware.

    Dumbfounded

    After several purchases in the past, I recently purchased a bottle and it smells like it’s contaminated with a chemical. I ordered a replacement and same issue.

    This recent batch smells awful!

    It smells like straight diesel fuel or some type of chemical. It smells really bad. The previous ones didn't smell like this so I'm not sure why.

    Latest Batch Smells Like Burnt Plastic?

    I’ve used this for the last 1-2 years and have loved it- but this recent batch is nasty! Did they change the formula? I thought something was burning in my house, nope. Turns out it’s the smell of the body wash. It smells like burnt plastic. I won’t be purchasing again unless this gets changed back.

    Staple for healthy skin!

    Even with the price point being steeper than I would usually pay, I think it’s so worth it given the effectiveness of the product. The bottle is a good size and lasts a while, so you really feel like you’re getting what you paid for. After consistent use, I can definitely tell that my skin is softer and more even. It has no artificial fragrance so it smells like salicylic acid, which is hard to describe; not necessarily good, but not bad enough to discourage me using the product. Also, the scent can be more or less subtle based on the batch. I’m a fan of a lot of Naturium products but this one will definitely stay in my shower routine for a long my time.

    Smells Rancid

    I purchase this all the time & love the product. I recently went to get a new one and it smelled rancid. I returned it for a new bottle & the same thing happened. The smell would not wash off either.

    Whats up with thw new chemical / medicinal smell??

    Loved this, been using for months…..but now a random chemical medicinal smell with my most recent purchase?? Reading other comments, I know I’m not the only one. I really like this wash, but sketchy how the scent changed and there’s nothing on here saying anyone’s changed?

    overnight results!

    absolutely love this body wash. recently i’ve been struggling with body acne, razor bumps and ingrown hairs and i’m so glad i found this body wash. lots of the acne on my boobs vanished overnight and the redness went down a lot, pimples shrunk. my razor bumps are less irritated as well and look a lot better. overall this with a combination of a silicone exfoliator will have your skin right back in no time. so glad i tried this! will definitely be a staple

    Bad batch?

    I’ve bought several bottles of Naturium The Perfector before, and today I opened a brand new bottle that I literally bought in the store today. I was showering, and as soon as I put the product on my face, I noticed the most horrible smell. I rinsed it off immediately, but the smell still won’t go away. Now that I’m out of the shower, my face is burning. I think I got a bad batch something is definitely wrong.

    Awful smell.

    This smells so awful! I don't remember it ever smelling like this. I repurchase this after a couple years because I started breaking out on my chest and bac again. It smells like kerosene on a burning building. I literally had to get out of the shower and check to see if my house or my neighbors house was burning. Then I had to retake a shower after putting lotion on my body because my scented lotion didn't mix well with the scent of the body wash and it smelled so awful.

    Too harsh for my sensitive skin

    Purchased this because it was fragrance free but it was too harsh for my skin and severely dried it out - it’s even too harsh for my face. The scent is okay and the lather and pump worked well for me. This is my least favorite product by them but i’ll definitely repurchase the other things i’ve used.
