It smells sooo good (kind of handsome yet soft) and a little goes a long way. Lightly exfoliating but not too much, you can use it every day without feeling stripped.
Great

alexis - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
After Shea Moisture discontinued their African Water Mint Detox body wash, I had to find a different product, so I gave this a try. I wanted to love it because I do like the exfoliating properties and natural ingredients but unfortunately it caused me breakouts and ingrown hairs - defeating the purpose of its "exfoliation." This left my skin feeling the very opposite of clean and took minutes rinsing off in the shower for all the greasiness to finally wash off (RIP water bill) and even still I didn't feel clean. If you have dry skin maybe this would be good for you, but as for me (and my skin isn't even prone to oiliness) it's a no-go. Went in the trash after a week of use. Switched over to Dr. Teals and my skin is happy again!

Great for after gym

I like to use this after the gym to prevent breakouts on my body. I put 4 stars since it doesn’t clear break outs completely, I would say it helps lessen them. It lathers very well, so a little goes along way. It’s not drying but doesn’t exactly moisturize as much either. I will probably try their black soap blemish soap bar and compare to see which works better for breakouts.

This is the most important item in my skincare routine. The ingredients are calming to my skin especially when I have an eczema flair up. The scent is great and a small amount goes a long way. It makes a huge lather and rinses clean.
Hydrating but caused itchy skin

Cooking with Target - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
This seemed to worked well to ease KP rough skin. However, after using it a few times I got progressively more and more itchy with each use. Something in this makes me itch like no other hydrating wash I’ve used. Maybe the scent? The pros do not outweigh the skin irritation unfortunately. Will not be buying again, I’d pass if you have sensitive skin.

It's a really soft and moisturizing body wash, but watch out if you use a light colored washcloth - it stained my white one.

This body wash worked for me great! My skin on my back is finally acne-free. It is very soothing, doesn’t make my skin dry and itchy. I like that this product is also harsh chemicals free and made of natural ingredients. It’s foamy and lasts for a while.
Good product

I tried this for a few months to help with body acne and saw a very slight improvement but didn’t like it enough to continue using it. The smell is nice but I was looking for a results driven product in respect to acne and this one didn’t deliver as well as I was hoping unfortunately.
Will always repurchase

I’ve tried high-end drugstore everything when it comes to body washes. This is by far one of the best for cleaning, for scent, for moisturization. 10/10
Super moisturizing. Great for winter!

Great moisturizing body wash for dry and sensitive skin. Minimal scent, with a slightly gritty texture for exfoliating. Cleans ok, but not the best. Cap is prone to leaking, too.

It makes my skin super soft, and it smells amazing! I like that you don’t have to use a lot at a time, either. I feel like this really nourishes my skin! My only complaint, though, is the use of artificial fragrance; my husband is really sensitive to those, so I can’t use it all the time like I want to. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic product!
