I have very very dry skin that itches and gets scaly and flaky in certain areas. My derm recommended this (or Aquanil which I have to buy online) to me and it has helped my poor skin so much. This is important if you're like me: use a soft washcloth or just hands (no poofs or scratchy sponges/gloves) to lather and wash. Leaves no residue or smell and makes my skin SOFT. I still have to put on oil and heavy lotion afterwards but my skin is in such a better starting place. Now when I step out of the shower my skin isn't super tight and parched looking, it just looks normal which is new for me. Will repurchase.

This body wash makes my skin feel silky smooth and hydrated. I love how it just glides on my skin. I have had no irritation at all. Would and will definitely repurchase.

I love this body wash! It has a teensy odor because it is unscented, but I can deal with it. I love it so much more than its form in the bar, but I've always a body wash girl. It is gentle on my sensitive skin, so I love it! I don't really like the packaging, but the product is great.

While this was highly fragranced despite the fact that the packaging said fragrance-free, it wasn't nausea-inducing. I also like that the product was moisturizing enough for my legs and I use it every time I shave to avoid irritation. It came in a huge bottle which is a plus, and I don't have to use a lot. I wouldn't use it if you are acne prone on your body.

This is my regular body wash. It moisturises well and I don't feel greasy after as with some more"moisturising" body washes. I haven't noticed a weird smell although fragrance is on the ingredients list so its not unscented as the bottle states. Still a great product though.

I usually use Dove bar soap for sensitive skin, which is lightly scented but otherwise quite mild, and for reasons I can't explain (something grabbed me at the grocery store and MADE me put it in my cart--I think my grocery store is haunted, maybe?) I bought this last time we needed soap. The smell is quite prominent for a product that calls itself "Unscented." (Odd how "fragrance" is on the ingredient list, is it not?) ...Anyway, I have very dry skin and thought this might take some of the edge off. It doesn't--it's just a liquid soap in a bottle. Which is fine, but I don't get how something that contains petrolatum, soybean OR sunflower oil, and glycerin can not moisturize at least a little bit. It makes me suspicious about the harshness of the lathering agents. I guess my bottom line is that this is ok, and I'll use it up eventually, but I won't buy it again. This product is a prime example of how "The Man" repackages useless products, uses false advertising, and waltzes away with my hard-earned cash. I hate being such a sucker.

Definitely not more moisturizing than dove soaps. After using it a few times, it made me breakout.

I have always used moisturizing body washes and my legs right above the ankle would always look dry and a bit scaley no matter what time of year it was. I decided to try this because it said it was pH balanced and so far using a pH balanced cleanser on my face has worked a mircle for my acne (MD Forte Cleanser I). Since using this product I no longer have dry scaley skin on the bottom of my legs. It also leaves my skin incredibly soft to the touch. I just wish Dove had a lotion to accompany it for the winter.

I loved this product at first. Wonderfully creamy lather and my skin was so soft and the smell was so clean. Unfortunately, I think the petrolatum in it is causing body acne. It's great on my dry skin patches. I will keep it around for the times when my excema flares up.

Great body wash, plays well with the shower puff. Would be nice if you could store the bottle upside down; it's deliciously thick, but the last third of the bottle is hard to get at. It doesn't dry me out, and if I rinse well it doesn't aggravate my mild eczema. Would definitely repurchase.

Used it for years and couldn't use anything else. My skin is ridiculously dry and any other product makes my skin feel very tight. I suspect it's because this is the only body wash that I have found where the first ingredient after water is oil (sunflower). Even though it's unscented, it does have a faint smell to it, but it doesn't linger. I also decant it into a pump bottle, I just find it easier to use in the shower. Update: They changed it!!! I'm so angry! They switched to ammonium sulfates (before it was sodium) and they added polybutelyne and acrylates/copolymers....AAAAHHHHHH! My skin is too sensitive to use these ingredients. The new ingredients in it are so "sealing" that (this is going to sound crazy), but I find I sweat more when I used it and also, my hands seem somewhat swollen, and really red. It was so great before and now it's just chemical junk. Why can't companies just leave well enough alone?

Did they change the formula? They changed the packaging. I have a feeling this smells stronger than the last one I bought. I will keep repurchasing this. It's good to my wointer dry skin, but it still leaves it a bit dry sometimes (legs). I don't like putting lotion, and I don't like too rich bodywhashes. This is the best of its kind I have found. I don't like the scent, it's a bit much, but it's better than most others. It's a decent price. Will keep using until I find something better. Oh, I can shave with it, not bad! Recommended.

I was cursed with a very oily face and very dry body. I am severely allergic to detergents in body washes and shampoos so I have been on a quest for the perfect body wash. I have found it! I picked this up because I wanted something that wouldn't be harsh on my skin and didn't have an overpowering smell. I have been using this for a little over a week and I don't even need lotion anymore! It is so moisturizing and no body acne whatsoever! Definitely a great buy.

Okay, so nowhere on the product container does it say "moisturizing," but I assume this is the board for the product I have. So, I received a sample of this, and it's awesome.

It's very moisturizing, smells very fresh, and does a thorough job of cleaning. I love Dove products for the most part, and when they claim "Sensitive Skin," they always stick to that, and are very true to that claim.

I'd purchase this!

I really like this body wash. It does have a milky, soapy scent, but it doesn't bother me, and I'm very sensitive to most smells. The texture is very creamy and makes a good lather with a poof or a sponge. My skin is incredibly dry so there's no soap or bodywash that will allow me to go without lotion afterwards, but this leaves my skin feeling smoother and more moisturized than any other bodywash I've used.

I just bought a bottle of this and I am only a tad disappointed. It didn't break me out, or do anything else crazy, but I am disappointed in Dove. So on the front it says "Unscented" and "pH balanced" right? Well, either way I always read the ingredients. Guess what the second to last ingredient is! Guess! IT'S FRAGRANCE! Okay so that is false advertising to a degree I think. But it is a good body wash and it didn't aggravate my eczema.

This is my go-to body wash, and I've been using it off and on (mostly on) for about a year, which is a record for me. I actually have fairly oily skin, but it is also sensitive. If I use a soap or body wash that is too strong, I break out. So, I use this mild, color-free, not-too-perfumey wash, and I don't get zits on my back, butt, etc.

Note, there is a scent to this product. I'm not qualified to lecture on the difference between unscented and fragrance free, but I do know that this body wash has a slight scent to it, which is readily apparent as soon as you flip open the cap and sniff it. (If you're searching for a more completely scent-free body wash, I *think* Olay Body Wash for Sensitive Skin...the green and white bottle...is closer to completely scent-free, although I think even that one has a little scent to it.)

I find this product so-so. Don't really like the texture: comes out in glops. And it doesn't foam well. Leaves a soapy film on my skin too after my bath.

Ohh how I love this body wash! My skin is very picky and this stuff doesn't aggrivate it the slightest bit. I actually like the smell, kinda like a much milder version of the Dove signature scent mixed with a bit of wheat, lol. It produces the BEST lather of any body was I've used, so thick and creamy! And the bottle is quite big, 354ml. It also makes my skin feel very comfy, moisturized and soft, plus it soothes it when it's irritated. I reccomend this for anybody with itchy, sensitive skin:)
