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: 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! Replace frequently for best results! For all your future beauty questions, get real-time answers using the “Chat with a Virtual Beauty Consultant” button, found on every product page.

  • 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!

    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.

    Skin acne

    I’ve been using this to help clear up the acne on my chest, arms and upper back and it’s really been helping to clear it up. Everyone skin is different but it hd made a difference in my skin after just 2 weeks of using twice a day. I am a light skin brown tone.

    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.

    Sever Reaction Had to Seek Medical Attention

    Unfortunately, this product didn't work well for me. After using The Perfector Salicylic Acid Body Wash, I broke out in hives and experienced intense itching that lasted for days. The reaction was severe enough that I had to seek medical attention and was prescribed steroid treatment. I'm disappointed in the product's performance and would caution others with sensitive skin to be careful. Maybe do a patch test before using it extensively.
