I picked this up because Target had a twin pack on clearance, and I love Nivea stuff in general and more specifically I have used the Happy Sensation with Bamboo and Orange Blossom Scent lotion for awhile (and I have a review for that) and I really love it. So it made perfect sense to grab up the corresponding body wash to match it.
I don't have terribly dry skin, in fact it is pretty normal--it gets a little dry in the winter and can be more oily in the summer. While this body wash did not dry me out, it didn't really leave my skin more moisturized either. It comes out of the bottle in a thinner consistency (much like the lotion), but lathers quite well. It smells like the lotion but at a much lighter intensity. It rinses very clean very quickly and doesn't leave a film on the skin. It's just that--a body wash...it doesn't add or strip any oils from the skin. Because of that I could potentially see that during the worst of the winter months this body wash won't quite cut it for me; I will need something a little more moisturizing.
But all in all, it's a very good body wash. I really have yet to be disappointed by Nivea.

Great body wash!! I love that it doesn't have any mineral oil or petrolatum which can interefere with a sunless tan! I love shaving with it too, so creamy and hydrating. The smell is okay, nothing too amazing. I'm so glad that I found such a great body wash, my skin was soo dry and it was due to some Alba Botanica body wash crap that totally dried my skin out. I hope this stays around forever!

This body wash smells amazing! This whole line is pretty great, the touch of happpiness is especially good. It has a softened citrusy smell that lingers for hours. If you are looking for a fragrant body wash, then definitely try this line. If you are primarily looking for a moisturizing one, then this line is ok for that. It does leave my skin quite soft.

This smells soooo good. It actually smells like a orange cream popsicle tastes (if that makes sense). This is very moisturizing and leaves my skin very soft and sweet smelling. The smell lingers on your skin which I always love. It feels great and lathers very well in the shower and will have your entire bathroom smelling like loveliness.

This really is Happiness in a bottle! I was hooked from the instant I took a quick whiff at the drugstore, and the quality of the product does not disappoint either. I have very sensitive skin and alternate this with my exfoliating body wash every other day, and it keeps my skin glowy and well-moisturized. I use a poof, which keeps a nice lather, and the bottle has lasted quite a while. Definitely will repurchase, even if just to get a morning "pick me up" from the delicious citrusy scent.

The best thing about this product is the wonderful orange fragrance that scents the whole bathroom. Really wakes you up! Its kind of watery but creates this beautiful lather. A very affordable quality shower gel that will be a staple in my morning routine.

At first I really liked the smell of this body wash but halfway through the bottle I got annoyed of the orange scent. I am now using the 'Touch of Smoothness' one and I love it, the smell is alot lighter so it's better for me. Overall, it was a good body wash that made my skin feel smooth and clean :)

This is GREAT stuff. I almost don't need lotion after a shower. I use a different scent than the one displayed. I use Tea Rose Blossom & it smells nice as well. I will continue to buy this & convinced my mom to buy it too. She is now a fan! The ingredients (in Tea Rose Blossom) include castor oil which I've read is great for skin.

I'm staying faithful to this body wash! It keeps my skin soft and clean. My occasional body acne has also pretty much vanished. I'm not sure if this body wash is totally the reason...(age and homemade tend skin could also be helping) but this certainly isn't hurting. I'm particularly a fan of orange scented products also so smelling this when I get in the shower is a nice treat.
If you have really dry skin this body wash might not be enough but for me it has just enough moisturizing elements to keep my skin soft year round.
Minus one lippie for having limited natural ingredients.

I am definitely on the side of Soap in the minor Soap Vs. Body Wash
debate. My body skin is super-dry and I have to be careful what soap I use & most body washes I've tried have left my skin parched and taut with the excessive amounts of surfectants that's in them. Some are too greasy and make the shower floor a dangerous place; I've slipped a few times from the emollients in some body washes, mainly the ones that claim to clean and moisturise. Some leave behind a tangible film, negating my idea of cleanliness to begin with!

Nivea's "A Touch of Happiness" lathers up very well and leaves my skin fairly moist, though I still follow up with body lotion unless it's last thing at night and I'm showering again in the morning. But what sold me is that is smells absolutely delicious and fresh. Smell is a subjective thing I know and I find the smell of this indescribably fresh and soothing.

~ Use it as a liquid hand soap in the Powder Room ~ it makes a moisturising and wonderfully-scented option to either the clinical or frou-frou selections on offer. I haven't tried the other options in this line. I'm hoping Nivea offers a bar soap in the scent very soon.
- There's also a matching body lotion.

I love this product.

The smell is gorgeous and soft. Orange blossom is one of my favorite scent in general and it's done beautifully. A faint scent is left on my skin after showering. Love the scent and the strength is NOT overpowering and I have no allergic reaction to it, unlike other artificial flower scents. It's comforting morning or night.

The lather is BEAUTIFUL! It lathers insanely well, with or without a pouf (I like the pouf for exfoliation purposes.) It's rich in regular water and decent when my water was really hard. The teensiest bubbles I've ever seen!

The feel on my skin is smooth and moisturizing. It doesn't dry out my skin or irritate it in any way. The tiny bubbles caress the skin and rinse away nicely. Doesn't leave the slightly waxy film most other "moisturizing body washes" have.

Overall; this smells great, feels great, lathers great, is often on sale or special but otherwise affordable. Nivea is a quality brand for the products I've tried, highly recommend!

Love this body wash! I bought this while my sister & I were out Christmas shopping last weekend and saw this on the store shelf and thought hmmmmm, something new!!!! :) So into the cart it went (on a whim of course). I needed to pick something up and was in the mood for something new. So glad I tried it! Smells delish & like fresh orange, but kind of sweet, but not overly sweet. Does NOT smell like medicine to me at all like some girls have said. Love it, makes my skin smell great & feel really soft and even though I usually take showers at night, it doesn't interupt my night time routine, but I could see how this would be a great morning time body wash for morning showers. All in all, great body wash. Not sure if it's a HG yet, but I love it so far! I'm pretty sure I'll buy this again after using it for my third night! =]

This body wash has an amazing smell. It is a nice fresh smell that I wish would linger longer. I was really disappointed that once I rinsed, this beautiful scent disappeared. Nothing left behind. The lather is alright as long as you use a pouf. I have a hard time believing this was touted as being a great lather even without a pouf. I tried using it with my hands and there was absolutely no lather and I had to use a ton of the wash. I do not think this is really moisturizing though. I did not feel any softer after using it. Nothing special about this and all it really does is leave you feeling clean.

This is a decent average drugstore body wash. It does smell nice but I don't find that it delivers too much moisture, and also there are tons and tons of suds. It does not interest me in repurchasing because it's so middle of the road, but it does the job fine as a shower wash.

I really love the smell of this product, its smooth texture and how sudsy it gets! However, it does not leave my skin as moisturized as A Touch of Smoothness. So if you really don't need a very moisturizing body wash, but like sweet citrus smells, I recommend this product.

I first got the body lotion in the same scent, and I fell in love with it. So, when I finally found where my usual store was hiding this, I snapped it up. The first time I used it in the shower, I stayed for an extra five minutes, just smelling it. It's warm, but clean and light and ah-may-zing. I'm not sure why they were so adamant that it would foam up even without a puff, because it was just like any other wash I've tried.

The package is nice, and easy to open, especially with slippery fingers.

I'm sure half of the experience is a placebo because of how they market it, but I loooove the scent. It just seems like summer.
