This was a pretty basic body wash. It didn't really moisturize much, but it didn't dry my skin out either. It foamed up nicely, and would also make a great bubble bath. But that Herbal Essences smell is heaven! I would buy it again for scent alone. But since this is discontinued, it's gotten increasingly harder to find. Clairol, it would be awesome if you could bring this back out. Thanks. Luv, me.

Too bad its being discontinued. For this reason, I bought all 6 bottles from the drugstore! I only use the pink one, never have used the green one, but I'm sure that one is okay.

This is my favorite body wash. You know how us ladies get used to a product and we can't even smell it anymore? Not so with this one.
I swear, everytime I squeeze some in my loofah and foam it up, the scent of apples makes me smile. And I enjoy every second of lathering it on my skin! This with the hot shower makes my morning.

The only bad thing is the dispenser top. It is SO hard to get that flip top off. I make my husband drill a hole through the top!

What am I going to do without it?

My very favorite body wash/shower gel of all time!!! I buy this in the moisturizing formula (pink) and I love it! It leaves my skin feeling so so soft clean and it smells so good. Don't be fooled, it's clear pink gel formula is very hydrating and lathers up perfectly and lots of bubbles. Rinses much cleaner than other body washes I have tried. I normally only use and love beauty bars like Dove and Caress, but this is the best body wash you can buy! I love it and it's a definite repurchase for me.

I tried this in the Rainforest Flowers scent. I prefer clean-rinsing body washes to prevent back and chest acne and this fits the bill without causing dryness on the rest of my body. Smells great(a tropical floral scent)but the scent doesn't linger once you're out of the shower, so it won't clash with perfume. The bottle is cute too.

I have this in the Fruit Fusions MAngo Fig & Blackberry. It smells very nice and fruity. It has a good lather too. I like it.

This body wash is perfect for the summer months. It has the classic Herbal Essences scent, is very moisturizing, and my skin feels soft and smooth after I step out of the shower. Rinses clean, leaves no residue, and cleans so well! Works great as a shaving gel too. I can't use this in the winter because it dries my skin out so much, but the formula is perfect for the humid summer months.

This is quite an average body wash itself, but who doesn't love that typical Herbal Essence scent.

I bought shampoo a couple of years ago, the pink one. It smelt exactly like the shampoo, dont get me wrong, it smells great but when i was applying it to my skin it felt like i was appling the shampoo onto my skin! But the results were great! It left my skin smelling fresh! :)

This is my holy grail shaving gel! I've been using it for several years. It's cheap, comes in huge containers so I don't have to repurchase often, and it's just wonderful stuff!

I will say that for shaving my legs, I had tried shaving creams and various shaving gels. The creams made my skin immediately dry out, and the gels were so thick that my razor would get clogged way too often. This body wash is the perfect consistency for shaving.

I don't use this as a body wash, so I can't review it as such.

As I said, this is my holy grail shave gel, so I will not use anything else unless this gets discontinued or reformulated!

I love the fragrances. Love them. There isn't one of them that I don't like. It works really well for shaving actually because it lathers so nicely.

Love the scent (gets one lippies for that), hated the product (gets no lippies for that but i can't give that.) Even the one that was made specifically for very dry skin was too drying. It made my skin dry, flaky and itchy.

I have the one with fig and Mango. I live the scent and the price: $4.99 fora big 24 oz bottle at Target. I can't wait to go get the other kind, but I have so big shower gel collection that I am trying to wait till I use some of them up. It didn't dry my skin or anything, definitely will buy again.

I have the daily smoothing body wash. This is the one with the little exfoliating particles. I really love this stuff, it smells great, and after I use it, I feel as though all my dead skin is gone.

I bought the "Fruit Fusions Kumquat, Tamarillo, and Green Apple" scented Clairol Herbal Essences Moisturizing Body Wash recently because it was new and there was a free "try me" rebate offer from Clairol on it.

This stuff is very moisturizing and bubbly, smells tropical and pleasant, cleans well, rinses off w/out making my skin feel tight, and the bottle looks real pretty and snaps open easily.

Normally, I only liked the Pink Herbal Essences body wash and disliked the green (found the green to smell boring).

Then I saw this one and it smelled soooooo good, so I had to get it. I think it's reasonably priced, too. I like the Leave-In Conditioner Spray, The Deep Cond. Balm, the Green Clarifying Shampoo, and Fruit Fusions (orange one) shampoo in this brand, too.

They all smell and work GREAT for the price. I wouldn't recommend them for guys, though, but my boyfriend loved the smell of the pink bodywash one on me.

I don't use this product myself as I don't really care for herbal scents. However, my son and stepson LOVE this stuff and use it daily. My son nearly freaks out if he runs out (he never remembers to tell me the things he needs until AFTER I've been to the store already!). He won't use regular soap anymore.
