This stuff smells soooo good. It provides a good lather too. I prefer Dove or Olay body wash but if money is tight this is my next choice.

Wish it made my skin signficantly softer. Instead I just feel clean not soft. The bottle is pretty big and lasts a little over a month with the most moderate amount used. The best thing about this body wash really is the smell. Otherwise its just OK.

This is a great body wash! I got it for $1.45 with a coupon at Target. I had initially stopped in to buy the St. Ive's oatmeal and something or other body wash with rave reviews, but I couldn't hang with the scent. This is creamy, gently, lightly scented, no residue, and dirt cheap. I am usually a fan of sweet smelling body washes (fruit) but this is a nice change. Much better than Dove.

One of those things that was sitting there, so I tried. I love this. I am prone to being brand-picky and immediatly writing off cheap products that I have found don't usually work as well for me. This stuff is amazing! Softly scented, soft lather, just love it for some reason. Leaves no gross traces on the skin. It's a great wash.

I buy this as a gender-neutral body wash that both me and the BF can use. It lathers well, leaves my skin soft and has a smell that doesn't compete with my perfume. Perfect!

The only shower gel I buy as soon as I run out and usually have a back-up in my cabinet.
I love the smell and texture, it lathers a bit and leaves my skin soft and smelling nice.

This is my favorite body wash - it's cheap, not drying, lathers well without slipping out of your fingers, and smells divine. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere anymore; it seems to have been replaced with the "Suave Naturals Cocoa Butter" body wash, which is still great, but not as great as this one.

I love this body wash. It smells amazing and has some better ingredients than dove or equal, and it costs A LOT less. It's pretty moisturizing too, and smells really good.

UPDATE: I've now replaced this with J&J's Oatmeal Vanilla Baby Wash. This is still very good, but the baby wash is gentler, smells even more delicious, comes in a huge pump bottle for about $5, and leaves my skin even softer.


My current favorite body wash. Cheap, effective, lathers great, leaves my skin soft and moisturized, washes clean without leaving my skin sticky or with that nasty coated feeling (yes that'd be you, Dove), and smells terrific...light cocoa & shea with a soft floral mixed in. I wish this came in a huge vat with a pump 'cuz I run out of it too fast.

Wow, this stuff rox my sox.


I have been using Ivory body wash for a while, and I like it, but I ran out one day in the shower and had to use this, my daughter's body wash. LIKE WOAH. As soon as I was decent, I ran to Wal-Mart and picked up my own bottle, because if I used up all my daughter's she'd kill me. ;)


First, this smells awesome. Not overwhelmingly cocoa buttery, but enough that you have a pleasant aromatherapy experience in the shower. I find it fades off once I get out, so it doesn't interfere with my perfume.


Next, it lathers up nicely...not foamy, not slippery or goopy (like I've noticed some of the clearer Suave body washes can do...it's like washing with Jell-O), but a soft, luxurious, creamy lather that smells ooooooooooh so good and feels wow nice. I've caught myself continuing to scrub after I know I'm already clean, just because I like it that much. It's made me late more than once! And I can feel it on my skin after I get out...not a heavy, oily feel, but just a moisturized feel to my skin that I like.


And last, it's uber cheap. Less than two bucks at Wally World and you've got yourself a wonderful body wash.


I've been on a cocoa butter kick lately and between this and alternating between Palmer's and Queen Helene cocoa butters, my skin is way soft and not dry or flaky at all. The only way I could like this better is if they gave it away for free...but for less than two dollars (one dollar if you can find it at your local all-for-a-buck store), they may as well be. Run out and get you some, but don't take it all...there are other people who want this too, you know.


Who needs Dove, at almost eight dollars a bottle and which doesn't smell as nice, when you can have this?

Wonderful smell, nicely moisturizing (but not as much as my Dove Oil body washes), cheaply priced. However, what I love most about this is the fact I can use it in my jacquizzi/hot tub in our bathroom and it is one of the VERY few bath products that doesn't leave any residue or ring in it! So, I now have a cheap, moisturizing, lovely smelling bubble/hottub bath product! Will definitely re-purchase for these reasons.

At the moment, this is my HG body wash. I have tried lots of brands (Dove, Olay, Bath&Body Works, Philosophy...etc.), but this is my absolute favorite. It's got a decent lather, but it doesn't foam at all...I hate foam. It's so creamy and moisturizing. I still use lotion afterwards, but I don't know that I have to. It also is nice to put a little in your bath and just soak. The smell is...I dunno, I think I like it, but I don't love it...I agree that I wish it were a little warmer, however it really doesn't detract from how much I like this. The only way I would deviate would be if they came out with the exact same product, but a better scent. LOVE IT!

I was looking for a super moisturizing body wash & while this is quite moisturizing its not quite enough for me. I added some oil to it which seems to help. Very nice scent though

I really like this body wash, it smells wonderful, softens my skin and is dirt cheap at Walmart, I believe it costs around $2.50. I gave it four lipsticks, because I haven't ever tried a high end brand of body wash, so I imagine there is something better out there. But I doubt I'll ever find out, because this stuff works for me.

I love Suave body washes and I love cocoa butter so I thought I'd love this. It just didn't smell right to me. I guess I was looking for more of a cocoa butter smell. I'd recommend Suave body washes, but I'm not too thrilled about this one.

this is a bit too drying for everyday use. i use either this, or Body Essences sweet cream vanilla w/ shea butter body wash, with a bit of baking soda on a washcloth to exfoliate my skin. it exfoliates and cleans thoroughly, and the smell is lovely!

Imagine my surprise when I spotted this at my local Dollarama! For a buck, I just had to try it, and I'm really glad I did. The scent, while a bit odd out of the bottle, is (I daresay) quite sophisticated in the shower. The floral/vanilla hybrid is to me quite reminiscent of Angel Innocent. Smells extremely complex, not to mention the fact that it does what it should: cleanses and moisturizes extremely well. Needless to say, I'll be clearing out my local dollarama very soon....
