First of all, the scent reminds me of vomit. And I kept smelling it on myself all day. It doesn’t lather like a soap, it’s more like a lotion. Using it once was once too many times.

I can’t tell you if it works because it stinks too bad to use. Not just a little bit of stink, or the regular kind of stink you get from fragrance free products. It’s stinks like it’s rancid. I can’t even get myself to use it. It also doesn’t lather.

This has the consistency of lotion so it's hard to pump out of the bottle. It also doesn't rub onto wet skin so you need about 10 pumps just to wash your chest. I think it's breaking me out worse especially on my chest and upper back where I use it most.

Cetaphil really missed the mark with this one. First of all, very little is dispensed with each press of the pump. Then this stuff doesn’t lather AT ALL. 10 pumps is barely enough to take care of my arms, and whichever one I wash first gets the most product. So I’m using an insane amount to wash my entire body. Seriously, most facial cleansers lather better than this stuff. After I’m done, I want to grab another body wash and try again because I don’t feel like I got clean. And it smells like acne medicine, and quite strongly. I’ll finish the bottle, but I won’t be repurchasing.

My doctor recommended this to me and I was so excited to try it. Literally felt like washing with lotion. I love most of Cetaphil's products so I was shocked that this just wasn't up to par to what I was expecting.

I have noticed more acne or eczema on my upper body that I decided to try Cetaphil. I will say it helps with helping the breakouts. It dries your skin so moisturize.

This is like rubbing lotion on your skin in the shower. I was excited to try based on price and amount you get while I search for a body wash to help treat my body acne. I have to use other products to wash just to feel clean. Do not recommend unless you are looking for a body wash that does not lather at all and maybe you have super dry sensitive skin and don’t care about that part.

I wish that this was clearly labeled to disclose that this is not a typical body wash. Even with adding water, it stays the consistency of a lotion and spreads over the skin, but doesn’t emulsify or lather. Ended up using it on my face instead.

The scent is not strong at all, it is a neutral scent and almost non-fragrant. It is a creamy texture so great to use on a bath cloth or sponge instead of a bath scrubber. The packaging is great and the cost is worth it. With repeated use, the results shows slowly. Must use daily to see results. Great for those who deal with back acne or any acne on body.

When I first put this on my loofah I didn't smell anything, I started to try to lather it it didn't Sud up or anything. So I added more to my loofah, still no Suds. I said whatever and started washing my body and was hit with the most PUTRID smell of vomit and lye. I couldn't wash this stuff off fast enough. Even after using 2 other body washes I can still smell it. My entire room and bathroom now smells like this nasty concoction. DO NOT BUY THIS. What a waste of money.
