I love this body wash. It's the only one I use. It smells great, feels aaamazing both in the shower and afterwards as well. I don't even feel the need for a body lotion with this. A little goes a long way as well so it will last you forever. I can't even keep this in the shower anymore because my 17 year old BROTHER keeps stealing it! My favorite thing about this product though is that it makes a fantastic shave cream. Way better than skintimates or anything else I have ever tried.

I used this body wash years ago, and as I like to switch things up every once in a while, I steered from it for quite so time...up until a couple of weeks ago. First off, I love the way this body wash smells, it's a very light scent, not sure what the scent is though. It's not fruity, or floraly...it's just nice lol. And it makes me skin SO SOFT. If definitely doesn't give that squeaky clean feeling but I prefer a more moisturized feeling anyways. I shave with it and it works great. It doesn't lather very much but it also doesn't leave much of a residue either. My only real complaint about this stuff is that it's expensive. I purchased it at Walmart for over $8.00 but have seen it in supermarkets and at pharmacys for almost $10.00. If only they'd lower the price a bit. Desireesbeautyblog.Blogspot.com

I wouldn't say this product adds a tremendous amount of moisture to my skin but my skin doesn't feel as dry as it usually does, especially during the winter months when I tried this product. The fragrance doesn’t bother me. The light lavender scent is a nice wake-me-up in the morning. I would definitely not recommend this product for shaving. It clogs the razor preventing a close shave and making the razor very difficult to clean.

So when winter came around and my skin was feeling dry I decided to switch to a moisturizing body wash.

Being conflicted at the drug store I got this and Olay Ultra Moisture body wash because they both claim to moisturize well and have different but pretty scents.

When I first used this, it felt nice and the lather was creamy but not abundant. I rinsed off and noticed a film on my skin. I figure it was the jojoba butters and that it would absorb in my skin as I slept. It didn't.

With my skin feeling so greasy I though for sure it would be moisturized but it wasn't. To be sure it wasn't just me, I used about half of the bottle. Throughout the cold dry days my skin was flaky, dull and had a constant residue. How could my skin be drier if it always feels lubed up in jojoba butter?

Well that butter is mainly petroleum and that film was the remnants that remained as a constant layer on my skin making it unable to breathe and exfoliate naturally. Not to mention I had to clean my tub about 3 times as often because of all the grease.

I will never use this again. I really have no use for it now. Just a waste of money..... live and learn.

I've purchased this product several times but will no longer. It contains a high level of petroleum that I no longer care for in body products. It also smells like Vaseline and no wonder. The main ingredients are the same. It does moisturize but does so in a way that won't allow skin to breathe and clogs pores in the long run.

I have been using etailer bar and cream soaps for years because retail products left me dry and itchy. I purchased this and am loving it ! First off the smell is amazing, it's clean and feminine at the same time. Second it creates amazing luxurious lather on my pouf, only a small amount needed to cleanse my entire body. Third it leaves me perfectly moisturized, no tight itchy skin. This feels amazing! I don't need to feel squeaky clean after my shower. My shower pouf does feel greasy after my shower but no biggie I change them out about every month anyway.
I recommend this to those with dry sensitive skin but if you have oily this will be too moisturizing for you.

I love this product! It is the absolute best for my dry skin, it makes it so soft and shiny. It gives off a nice shimmer and I follow it up with Dove cream oil lotion and my skin never looked better. This is a must have for me!

This product is great for my dry skin. I've purchased it twice now. The smell is nice and the jojoba butter helps smoothen my skin. Some people complain that it makes their skin greasy, but I wouldn't use the word "greasy" to describe the effect. It's rather a bit buttery. It just makes my skin so silky. It's not too pricey and each bottle lasts me a long time, considering I use it everyday. I don't get breaks outs so I never had a problem with products breaking out my skin. Again, I have dry skin, so the effect this product has on people with oily skin might be different. Overall, I love this body wash and I would definitely purchase it again!

This product claims to be great when used as an alternative to shave gel. DON"T DO IT! The thick waxy film will clog an ruin your razor.

I've seen many reviews on this that many people don't like the "film" or "residue" that it leaves on the skin. Jojoba is actually a wax so it doesn't actually abosrb into the skin (as other moisturizers do), and that's what it's supposed to do. The "film" you experience acts as an agent for sealing in your body's own natural moisture so you don't lose it after you shower. And it's great! It's not a greasy film and you'll love the long term effects it has for keeping your natural moisture locked in and having soft, amazing skin!

This is my favorite body wash by far. My body has very dry skin and the jojoba locks in the moisture until my next shower. The smell is wonderful and you get alot for your money. I've tried the Ribbons Body Wash with almond oil and it just doesn't compare. I have also used the Olay 7-in-1 Total Effects Body Wash with jojoba but it doesn't do as great of a job as this one. I highly recommend this and give it a chance because you won't regret having awesome skin.

Oh gosh, this stuff is a disaster. It smelled ok at first, but it was almost like my pore absorbed the scent and pretty soon I could taste it. Yucky and chemical-like. So that was gross, but then my daughter used it in her bath, then rinsed her hair in the water. For DAYS I could not wash the weird, greasy junk from her hair. I had no idea what she put in it, and she kept saying she didn't do anything different. I realized that the fat globules from the Olay were just hanging out in the water. We finally got it out with MULTIPLE washings with a clarifying shampoo. Do not use, there is something wrong with this product.

This body wash looks amazing from the outside, but the inside is a different story. The scent is pretty and the formula feels creamy. The problem is this is almost too greasy and not as creamy as I wish it was. I found this helped moisturize my skin a little, but not enough to make me deal with the pain of it. This definitely leaves a film throughout my shower. The packaging is a pain. The flip cap is hard to open when my hands are wet. I would not try this again.

So, when I first tried this product out, I instantly fell in love! My skin was so moist and smooth after using it! It lathers great, smells amazing, I was very impressed! But after using it for almost of month, my skin started to get greasy & there was slippery residue left on my shower floor. So I checked out the ingredients on the back ...and the top three are Water, Petroleum and Mineral Oil. The last two are thick, gunky products that just coat skin, hair or whatever it touches and doesn't rly absorb. So I'm pretty disappointed with this product & won't buy it again.

I have the most nonsensitive skin in the world, it's also very very very dry so I thought this would be a great product but this body wash broke me out like no other I had breakouts all over my chest shoulders and back. It left a nasty soapy disgusting film all over my skin and my shower. I will never re buy this, I'll stick to body butter AFTER my shower.

This stuff is kind of weird but I like it. It definitely smells strong, which I don't particularly like, but it does fade after a couple of hours.

It also makes my skin feel kind of slimy/greasy/weird right after I shower and I am still wet. That also goes away after a couple of hours, leaving my skin quite moisturized.

My skin gets very dry in the winter, and this is the best body wash I have tried to combat that dryness.

This stuff was TERRIBLE!! I could never use Olay products for my face because they would make it so red and raw it's like I was exfoliating with sand paper! This stuff is no exception. It just sat in a greasy layer on top of my skin and it made my shoulders & upper arms break out! And even though I stopped using it, it took WEEKS for the breakouts to fade away. I also got big flaky dry patches on my arms as well. Don't buy this!

I first used this product when it first came out a couple years ago - when I used it then, I remember LOVING it - now that I have repurchased it, i will never buy it again! Believe everyone when they say - it sits on top of your skin !! I have very dry skin on my arms and legs, so I like to use a moisturizing body wash. Most moisturizing body washes also work well on my sometimes oily back and chest. This one BREAKS ME OUT. I literally get out of the shower with a film all over me from this. My chest and back have been breaking out nonstop since I started using this. I have about half of a large bottle left and I'm throwing it away and switching to a moisturizing bar soap for a while. This body wash is terrible - it is not a 'wash' - it turns you into a grease ball. Also..if you read the ingredients it has like every bad ingredient we hear about being 'bad' for us - sodium laureth sulfate, propylene glycol, parabens..etc. YUCK.
