Very lovely citrus smell, great for summer and great for morning wake-up. It lathers well, the cleansing power is is decent, and it rinses clean, skin feels good afterwards. I'm not giving it 5 stars becuase there're better body washes out there, but this is likely the best body wash product in its price range ($3-5, huge bottle).

I love this body wash! It smells wonderful and it gets rid of the acne on my back. The packaging allows you to get every drop out and the bottle is huge for the price you pay. It's lasted me and my 2 sisters about 3 months now. I'll definitely buy again.

I am really excited about this bodywash because the scent actually stays on my skin. I have the hardest time finding body care items that actually linger on my skin. I would suggest this to someone that has oily skin because it takes the oily feeling away as soon as you use it. The bottle lasts forever and lathers very well. It sort of reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue but way less expensive. I will repurchase this, but only in the spring and summer.

This is such a nice body wash, the scent is clean, citrusy and refreshing. It's not sweet at all and smells like crisp lemons and citrus fruits!! The lather is amazing and sudsy, have to say one of the best lathers ever. Also a little goes a long way so I've had the same bottle for at least 2 months, and I go through body wash like crazy. I bought this in Panama while I was traveling there, and it was perfect for the steaming humidity down there.

I am in love with this scent! This smells very fresh and the citrus is very invigorating which helps to wake me up in the morning to start my day. It lathers really well and cleanses pretty good too. Doesn't feel like it "strips" my skin and leaves my skin feeling soft. Nothing bad to say about it. Pretty happy with St. Ives shower gels in general. :)

LOVE this stuff! I was disappointed when it disappeared from the shelves last year, but it's back now, and looks like it's had a packaging make-over. It smells GREAT (like grapefruit) it's very inexpensive, it's not tested on animals (yea!) and it leaves my skin soft and moisturized. What more could you ask for? I also love their new Creamy Coconut scent! St. Ives makes the best body washes, hands down!!!

I am loving this stuff and have repurchased several times. This is formulated without parabens and phthalates. Love the fresh fragrance and rich lather, I have used it for shaving. I don't find it any more drying than other body washes. The only place I can find it is at Target.

While I'm not a fan of St. Ives' Oatmeal and Shea Butter body wash, this citrus one is fantastic! I'm a sucker for citrus scents so this one instantly appealed to me. It smells great and if you are like me and derive energy and fulfillment from the products you use in your morning shower, this is a great morning body wash. The citrus extracts don't irritate my skin, either. St. Ives has reformulated the product to include higher concentrations of the extracts. I've not tried the "new" one, but in the "old" formulation the citrus extracts were towards the end of the ingredient list. Seems St. Ives' only purpose is to constantly repackage and reformulate its products. I would absolutely buy this again since it's a good cheap thrill. Who doesn't like those?

I love this stuff...I usually rotate my shower gels and have 2 or 3 in the shower at all times. I rarely buy the same scent twice ...I think I must have toiletry and beauty product ADD but this stuff I find myself buying over and over. It has a really invigorating citrus scent but not so orangey or lemony that you feel like you just washed in orange jello or lemon pledge . It is also one of the cheapest brands out there, lathers great and seems to moisturize rather well

This stuff has the most gorgeous citrus scent! It really wakes me up in the morning and puts me in a good mood. It mainly smells like grapefruit with a hint of mint-- so refreshing! The scent fills the shower but doesn't linger on the skin or compete with other scents. It generates tons of lather on a bath sponge but isn't super drying or harsh. An enormous 24 oz bottle only costed me $4 and is paraben and pthalate-free to boot. Awesome find, especially on a budget!

I loved the scent of this, it really did make me feel energized. It smells mostly like grapefruit, and it smells pretty natural not like a synthetic citrus smell. It lathers well and stays on my loofah a long time. It rinses clean off my skin.

My only problem I had with this is now that I'm nearing the end of my bottle I've noticed that my skin has been getting drier and drier within the time I've been using this product. I've compensated by using lotion more often, but I was disappointed with that. I love everything about the product but that! Its too bad, if it didn't dry out my skin i'd definitely repurchase.

The scent of this body wash really woke me up in the morning. It was like~ POW!!! fresh squeezed grapefruit, lol. I've been looking into more organic bar soaps, but this is a definite keeper if I can't find something else.

This is an awesome body wash. It lathers up fast, stays foamy, and rinses off well without drying out the skin. Its perfect for the family with alot of members need an affordable large size bodywash costing less than $3, a cult favorite that is universal scented.

This is a nice bath product; it lathers well, has a nice smell, and is priced very competitively. I purchased it after using a bottle of the oatmeal and shea butter, so I had very high hopes. Unfortunately I simply don't like this product quite as well - it is "runnier," in texture, and the smell has started to bother me after a couple of months. I'm returning to the oatmeal variety after this bottle is empty; but it was a nice diversion.

I like this soap. Very fresh smelling and I always feel clean afterwards. Did not irritate my skin. The Citrus smell definitely perks me up. I wish this came in a perfume so I could smell it all day.

I've tried other washes, but keep coming back to this one. I love it! It smells great, so fresh and bright, and moisturizes without making your shower so slippery that you fall and break your neck! I'm a believer!

This is average to me. I liked the scent but it was very subtle. I wouldn't say this energized me at all. But it lathers up well and does the job without drying. Plus it's cheap.
