Absolutely love it!
It makes my skin soft, and it smells wonderful. It washes of really easily, and is not greasy at all.
their motto of not having to "give up an arm and a leg to moisturize one" is catchy and completely true- the product is extremely cheap for its function.

love, love, LOVE! i have always and forever been a bar-of-Dove-soap kinda girl but this is the product that has finally turned me. i don't even know what exactly it was that made me decide to pick up the little trial-sized bottle of this product one day when i was at Target but i'm very glad that i did. one of the first things i grew to absolutely adore about this shower gel was the fact that someone recognized the need to create something that was both creamy AND clarifying. i want to feel deeply cleaned but be left moisturized when i hop out of the shower, and that's exactly what this does. another wonderful thing about Clean on Me is that you don't need a shower poof to enjoy the full benefits of it's lather, like most shower gels. i'm not a big fan of the poof and so i love that i can use this on a washcloth and still get mountains of soft, rich lather that lasts through my entire (long) shower. i don't have the greatest sense of smell so if that's a dealbreaker for you i'd read some other reviews, i'm sure someone has covered it thoroughly, but to me it smells light, clean, and fresh. this definitely leaves my skin softer and more moisturized than your typical bar soap and i also think it has helped make me smoother! i have mild KP on the backs of my arms that i am constantly waging war against and i swear that using this product on a daily basis has helped keep things smoother and clearer. the packaging is a plastic pump bottle which is ideal for the shower and the price ($10) can't be beat for how long the product lasts. i just adore this shower gel and will continue using it forever! and kudos to Marcia Kilgore for creating a product line that's more affordable than Bliss in these tough economic times.
*UPDATE* 8/6/10 just updating to say that i still adore this product and haven't stopped using it since i first fell in love. in the summertime when it's hot and sticky out, sometimes i feel like i need to use a bodywash with some kind of salicylic or alpha hydroxy acids in it to ensure that my skin/pores stays nice and clear, but instead of abandoning this for some anti-acne bodywash that will dry me out i just add 2 pumps of one of my facewashes that has the right ingredients. works like a charm, so i thought i'd share.

This shower gel has the best smell ever. It's very girly, foams nicely and leaves my skin very soft. It seems a little pricey at $13 CAD, but I have had this for 2 months and use 3 pumps a day/shower and I am only half done. It practically sells itself! I heart this stuff and most other Soap & Glory prdoucts too.

I love Soap and Glory products!!! Their shower gel is beautiful, I adore the smell and it really does feel like a treat in the shower in the morning! The packaging is so kitsch and girly, lush!!!

I had good luck with the Peachy Cream Body Butter so I saw this and grabbed it. I just love the scent of this! Kind of floral, kind of fresh, very lovely! Not a heavy scent that sticks with you for hours, but fun in the shower anyway. It lathers pretty good and rinses away clean, doesn't strip away moisture (doesn't seem to add it either but oh well). I admit I am a sucker for the retro packaging as well. All in all it is a very good body wash, a bit basic but I would repurchase this one.

The Soap & Gory line, the child of Bliss founder, Marcia Kilgore, is one of the only skincare lines I would splash cash on in Boots. I certainly won't go near that awful The Sanctuary line, which is synthetic and smells like bad perfume bought from the market, despite its roots as a Covent Garden spa.

The skin on my face is so sensitive that I can't play around with my regime there. The shower is where I can have some fun, so I like to keep a whole sweet shop array of fruity, herby, soapy, bubbly, scrubby, lathery, minty, dreamy, frothy, creamy products. This clarifying shower gel is a fairly every-day, but good quality, up-lifting pruduct. Like the core line, it smells like Cartier Delices - boozy and sugared. It's a pleasant, giggly aroma.

The lather is creamy and rich, and the lactic acid, though quite far down the list, does at the very least refresh skin, even if it doesn't exfoliate.

I love this stuff! It leaves your skin really soft and I really like the smell. The only thing I don't like is the pump it comes in, just because you have to pump it a few times to get a decent amount out, but I can overlook that because I like the product so much. I recently bought a gift set with this in for a friend's birthday and I've got her hooked on it too! I'll definitely be buying this again

I thought the smell was strange at first, but oddly I adore it now. This cleans, exfoliates, and moisturizes. I can't get enough of it.

like this product - it lost one mark on the packaging as you have to pump it a few times to get a decent amount
smells nice, lathers really well and has also got rid of those annoying bumps on my upper arms which is a bonus!

I hate to be the voice of dissent, but I'm not thrilled about this body wash. It has it's good qualities: it lathers very well, so the generously sized bottle lasts a long time. Otherwise, it performs similarly to any other body wash: it cleans my body without being overly drying. However, I'm not overly fond of the fragrance. It seems nice at first, and then, before I finish my shower, it starts to annoy me with some sort of sharp note. I would rather just use a much cheaper Softsoap body wash.

This was lovely. It left my skin feeling luxuriously soft and smooth, and made shaving a breeze. I also admire the rose scent, though it doesn't last. I bought a small bottle at target and couldn't be happier. This could be my new favorite bath gel.

Bio: Super dry skin on body, persistant back breakouts
Pros: Great scent, not too strong but lingers on your skin a little while after your shower
Loads of lather
Moisturizing
Cons: Wish Lactic Acid was higher on the ingredient list
Pricey- but for the amount you get it's worth it
Overall: I am in love- Amazing Grace faded too quickly after I got out of the shower and didn't lather well at all, and most drugstore brands smell too much like bar soap, the super high priced body washes are, well super high priced, this is right in the middle. Delicious scent, clean/lightly floral/with a hint of citrus, perfect for everyday, and it really left me super soft. I do still need body lotion, but I'm hoping my upcoming purchase of Glytone will leave me with smoother skin- This is a must try!
*Update- this is a staple, the scent makes me feel so pretty I love using this in the shower!*

I'm really liking this new line of products, and this body wash is no exception. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky, and the scent is great! It's a girly scent that's kind of citrusy-fruity-floral. Try the scrub from this line, too, it's excellent!

this is my new HG bodywash. it smells divine, easy to dispense in the shower thanks to the pump container, and best of all it leaves my skin very soft AND free of breakouts! i was using neutrogena clear skin body wash, which didn't do an amazing job of clearing my shoulders and back up and left my skin parched. this bodywash does it all, it's truly clarifying and softening. i've gotten hooked on the entire line!!!

I actually bought a $10 set from Target that included small sizes of the scrub, body butter and creamy shower gel, so I'll put this review here and under the scrub. The scrub is pretty good - scrubby enough and it isn't just grains swimming in oil, which makes a mess of the tub. However, I found it harder to rinse off than other scrubs. You definitely don't need to apply oil, lotion or cream after using this scrub (and this means a lot coming from me because ordinarily, I wouldn't dream of not applying something after a shower!). I am not sure what I think of the fragrance - and all three products are heavily fragranced. I absolutely love Bliss' lemon & sage scent, but this one is very sweet and floral, as opposed to being clean and refreshing. I think the scent is ok, but not really me. Also, it will compete with your perfume - it is fairly strong and it lasts (especially if you use the body butter). The body butter is a wonderful moisturizer - just as good as the Bliss body butters, just with a different scent (and cheaper price tag). The creamy shower gel is also quite good - again, you don't need to use lotion or cream afterwards unless your skin is incredibly dry and flaky. I would probably buy the body butter and shower cream again (not so sure about the scrub), although I wish they came in different scents.

This is a lovely shower gel with built in body lotion. It lathers up surprisingly well considering it's creamy consisitency and leaves my skin smooth and more moisturised than a regular shower gel. Cute kitsch packaging with a handy pump action dispenser - no fumbling with hard to remove caps/sticky flip-tops lids. Divine scent. A little pricey (£4.99) when the majority is just washed down the plug-hole. My budget's more used to gels that are around the £1 mark! Would probably repurchase (as a treat).

Soap and Glory is a new range that has been launched at Boots, the packaging and brand image is so similar to that of Benefit.
The shower gel is actually a cream and comes in a pump bottle which is so easy to use in the morning, it smells fantastic, like Mandarin.
It is so creamy I did not have to use a moisturiser afterwards, this product is better than a lot of Higher End Brands.
