I found this bodywash to be the best I've tried for dry skin. In general, my skin is not that dry. But, in the winter, my legs especially, get very dry and even flake and itch. I only use this in the winter to help w/ my legs and it works absolutely wonderful. The formula is so creamy and works up a good lather. The scent is very soft and is not overpowering. This hasn't made any reaction to my sensitive skin either. After washing my skin, my legs are so soft, I don't even need to use shaving cream and can even skip the lotion! The only down side to this product is that it is a bit pricey for d/s soap.

This is my favorite bodywash of all time. I can't wait till I finish my bottle of cream ribbons so I can go back to complete again. It makes my skin feel super smooth and clean. Not irritating at all and doesn't have a strong scent. No matter what body wash I go try I always keep coming back.

This is my go-to body wash. I've been using it for years.
I have sensitive skin, but I like a little fragrance. This wash has a very pleasant scent that's not too overpowering.
The consistency is perfect. It's creamy and somewhat thick which makes it perfect for shaving my legs. It doesn't leaving any soapy residue either.
I like to treat myself to Philosophy 3 in 1 every now and again, but I always have a bottle of this in my shower.
You can't beat the price either, especially when it's on sale at Target and you have a coupon : )

I've been using olay for the past 3-4 years and I LOVE IT. it's unexpensive and it smells good. It refreshes my skin and it doesn't dry out my skin. I definitely love this soap and shea butter!

This is a wonderful body wash for those with sensitive skin that need a little moisture. A lot of washes are drying but this is not. A little goes a long way so it lasts a long time. The scent is refreshing which is nice as a lot of scents do not agree with my allergies. This is quite superior to other washes on the market.

This is the only thing I can wash my body with - save using a whole bottle of Cetaphil, that doesn't leave red, itchy patches and flaky skin. Because it does have Shea Butter, you will notice your shower does tend to get dirtier quicker. I highly recommend investing in Lime-Away to clean the shower so you don't throw out your back scrubbing the soap scum. It's definitely worth the extra shower cleanings to me so I'm not scratching like a mad woman all day.

I usually use Ivory body wash, but thought I'd give this one a try. Did not like it. It left a filmy feel on my skin that leaves me feeling unclean. Its not so bad that I will discontinue use, however I will probably not re-purchase after finishing up this bottle.

I used this body wash for over 3 years and I really liked it how it kept my bone-dry skin from flaking and keeping it in generally good shape. However, about 6 months ago I noticed that my skin has gotten really scaly and itchy after I get out of the shower. I tried a different body wash and my skin immediately calmed down and looked more hydrated. My skin must have eventually gotten "used" to this since it does absolutely nothing for my skin now. I give it 4 lippies b/c it worked really well for a long time and I love the smell. It has a slight fragrant scent but it's not overpowering and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin.

Love love love! I have sensitive, super dry skin and this is one of the few body washes that leaves it feeling moisturized, but not greasy, without irritating it in any way. Works great for me because I'm usually too lazy to use body moisturizer after a shower. In the winter or after shaving my legs I follow this with baby oil on my wet skin and it's not too much. Speaking of shaving, a little bit of this on your legs works great as a shave gel. I love the smell. I buy the giant size bottle and it lasts a couple months. Overall just really like this product a lot and hope it doesn't get discontinued any time soon!

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! Been using it off and on since middle school (several new packages but still same scent)! Makes my skin feel very soft. It's very creamy and nice to use to relax before bed. I can see how some people would find it "filmy" but I like it anyway. Does anyone know of any lotion or perfume that smells like this? I wish I could have a perfume of this stuff, YUM!!

I love this body wash. It is very moisturizing, as it claims to be - that's why I bought it! The fragrance is nice and not over powering. Feminine and light in my opinion. You do not need a lot of product on your puff to get a lot of lather which means you are not running out quickly. It's great for the summer or any season really when you are looking for a moisturizing body wash. I follow it with Keri's body lotion with Shea Butter. Awesome.

i actually like the smell, and i really like the consistency. a little goes a long way. it does leave a little film, but i think that's the shea butter. it goes away when you dry off. i am sooo soft and smooth. love this stuff!

I love this stuff. It's super cheap, a little goes a long way, and it's incredibly moisturizing. You only need a quarter-sized dollop for your entire body. I usually use it with a scrubby glove. I don't think the smell is all that great, but it's not obnoxious either. Kind of perfumey. I've seen some reviews that complain of the residue left after they rinse, and I've just never had that problem. I think it's an awesome product, especially for the price, and have been using it for the last several years.

I thought I would try something new instead of my usual Dove body wash, but this stuff is horrible! My skin felt very sticky after using it. It didn't feel smooth at all. I felt like I had to shower all over again! I returned it and will definately not repurchase. I'll stick with my Dove body wash. Can't go wrong with Dove!

I love this stuff. This winter I have been really dried out, and add some airline travel to this and my skin was so itchy and dry that it literally hurt. I used this in conjunction with Gold Bond lotion, and now my skin is silky and smooth in 2 days. I didn't mind the smell at all- it is way better than those over-purfumed body washes you get at BBW. Great for shaving. I will absolutely repurchase.

I came into to contact with a small-ish bottle of this and I really couldn't wait to try it out. I used this before I went out, and in conjunction with another body wash because I disliked the smell. The consistency of this is a bit runny, but I recieved a very nice lather with or without the shower pouf. It felt very nice going on and off, except for the smell which bothered me a bit. When I stepped out of the shower, I felt quite soft and smooth, just liked I'd hoped for. I continued to have soft skin throughout the night, and never ran into any problems. As for the now widely complained about problem of olay body wash products leaving a waxy film on the tub floor, I don't recall that ever being a problem. The ribbons body wash products do leave glops on my tub, but I just wash then down with the shower head, no problems after that. This product ranks average with me, nothing spectatular, but still a good product that does it's job.

I think this is a great body wash! I read some of the other reviews, and I have never noticed a film left behind. It is rich and creamy, and you only need a little on the puff and you get tons of lather! My skin feels great after using this. I ran out once and used Suave body wash in its place and *gah!* Never again! It doesn't have much of a scent, however, but that's what I was looking for. I don't want it to interfere with my fragrance. Give it a try! (If you're on a budget, although Olay isn't very expensive, the Wal-Mart dupe is identical and much cheaper).

Overall a very creamy and moisturising body wash. I tried it for the first time when I ran out of my dove soap and decided to try something different. The first things I noticed was the rich, creamy lather. In fact I may have overdone it on the lather because I used it with a shower puff and I put lots and lots of body wash on it (haven't used body wash in a while so I have apparently forgotten how to use it!!) Anyway when I started to wash my body I was quite amazed at how the sponge just glided across my skin, the lather was so creamy and silky and thick and when I rinsed off I was left with soft silky skin.
Only problems are the smell which is a bit overpowering and the fact that even though it's a moisturising body wash for very dry skin I still need to use a body lotion afterwards. The whole point of this endeavour was to avoid that very step and if I have to use lotion anyway I might as well stick to good ol' soap which is cheaper. That's not to say I will though :o)
Will definately repurchase.

I tried this product about a year ago when it was introduced. There was no doubt that it left my tub super slippery, so I'm assuming there was some kind of residue. The smell is very overbearing and led me to dread using up the product. As others have mentioned, I didnt feel very clean after using this for some reason.
