This app rates this body wash a 0% for me, but I disagree. I have very oily, yet dry acne prone skin. Almost every body wash has dried me out, broke me out, or left a layer/flim on my skin if that makes sense. This body wash has my skin feeling refreshed, cleaned, and hydrated. I’ve had 0 breakouts since using it. I truly enjoy this body wash. Only complaint are frequents and the little beads, I Show more

Thick. Skin feels soft next day.
When I was younger, this was all I used on my face and body. But as I got older, I found it a bit thick for my face and naturally drifted away as I discovered other great skincare products. Still, it brings back good memories, and I think it would still be great for body use!
