Soothing Body Wash

I occasionally have eczema breakouts. I always have scaly beard dandruff as well as overly active sebaceous glands that give me an oily face. So frustrating to be covered in oil and dandruff. Nothing I’ve tried actually solves these issues until I found this stuff. As others have mentioned, this is an oil cleanser and as such, it does not produce any lather or foam. Because of the consistency and lack of lather, it is very difficult to figure out how much product is needed, so plan on it taking you 2-3 bottles to sort out how to use the stuff. My starting recommendation is: Wet your body and then turn off the water. Use a tiny amount at a time Work on one area of your body at a time starting at your head and working down to minimize the amount of product needed to cover your body. If you have dry feet/heels, be sure to massage this stuff into your feet. You can use it on your hair but note that it may result in a heavy feeling. I normally shave my head, but I’ve tried the stuff when I let what’s left of my hair grow out and after my hair is dry it feels good, and this stuff really does wonders for oily scalp issues. After completely covering your body, rinse well, but set your expectations correctly in what your skin should feel like after using this product. It will be very smooth and lightly slick. If your hand skips across your skin, you probably did not use enough. My only complaints about this stuff are the price per volume and the fact that there is no option to buy larger bottles of it. I find I get almost two weeks out of a bottle, and at this price it’s really expensive for so little product. To counter this negative, in 50 years of looking, this is the ONLY product that I would say is completely effective.

Yes, it is a runny product, quite watery. It may not 100% clean the skin by exfoliating and whatnot (but you shouldn't be harshly exfoliating sensitive skin anyway) and it is easy to use too much product. It might be a little pricey (especially if you're wasting product), but if you spend money on fast-food/dining out and coffee, why not forfeit one to help your skin. BECAUSE IT WORKS. That's all I ask. My skin was so miserably ITCHY and dry, ugh. Here are some workarounds/tips: If your skin can tolerate it and really needs cleansing from too much oil or dirt or whatever, I'd advise washing off with a sudsy gentle cleanser, rinse off, turn the water off (otherwise it'll rinse the product off before you have time to rub it in), then use this body wash and rub it all over your skin. I don't bother with a sponge because it just wastes product. I empty the bottle into a regular soap dispenser with a pump. This makes it easy so that I can just pump the product right onto my hands and rub all over my skin. People complain about the scent... I mean.. the whole point of using sensitive product lines is because we don't want added fragrances!! If the scent really bothers you, try adding a drop of your favorite inscense oil on a rock and place it in the shower shelf (if you have one). The steamyness of the shower will diffuse the scent. Anyway, the scent is so mild, kind of oatmeal like, and once you rinse off, there is absolutely no scent left on the skin. I then use the anti-itch moisturizing cream from this line while my body is still semi-watery (sealing in the moisture) and then the creamy oil for my hands (since I'm over-washing them these COVID-19 days). I also mix this body wash into some of my soap dispensers around the house that I use for my hands. Man oh man does it really calm the skin on my hands down so that I don't have to over moisturize throughout the day. Just try it out with these tweaks.

Arrived loose in a box without tape over the lid. Leaked and absorbed into cardboard box. The replacement arrived the same exact way smdh. I was not a fan of the product. It's a terrible substitute for Eucerin skin calming body wash if that's what you're trying to accomplish. There is zero lather which I didn't expect much but Eucerin had some. The smell is indeed like motor oil. This didn't make me feel clean. It is thicker and greasier than other oil soaps I have used, and not as soft a smell. The bottle design is also awful. You have to squeeze the bottle quite hard to get any out but then wayyyyyyy too much comes out pouring all over the shower. There is no just right level of squeeze on the bottle. It did not flare my sensitive skin. I imagine it is good for the skin which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. I can't get past the smell, consistency and ridiculous lid that won't let any out until it blows like a cannon.

I had a severe, serious, long-lasting reaction in 2016 to a cheap soap. It debilitated my skin to the point where it killed nerves the reaction was so strong. I have been suffering from dry skin since. After multiple body washes, soaps, etc.. (natural and processed) I decided to try this CeraVe. I LOVE IT! It's turned me around 180 and the skin dryness is much less of an issue, and the sensitivity to clothes is also gone. It made all the difference...what follows is the rundown: THE GOOD: This stuff works! It actually healed my dry skin, and somehow now my clothes don't hurt when they rub against my skin like they did for SO long before. A little goes a long way, too, so it's good bang for the amount you get. The smell doesn't linger on your skin once you rinse off either, so if the smell (described in THE BAD section) throws you off at first--give this stuff a shot anyway. THE BAD: The smell. It smells like glue. It's also pretty expensive, too. You pay a lot for a small bottle. 3-4 times more than a traditional bottle of regular soap. Also, while unnecessary for cleaning, the lack of suds sometimes makes it difficult to determine the places you've washed and you might end up re-washing an area accidentally. THE UGLY: Did I mention the cost? It's pricey. THE VERDICT: No matter the cost, no matter the smell...this stuff WORKS. Its already turned my life around, and I have used it for only a week. It's effective as a cleaner too, underarm odor for example is handled quite effectively and there's no sticky or slimy residue once you dry off. It actually leaves your skin smooth and refreshed without feeling perfumed. TL:DR version: THIS STUFF IS PERFECT!! CERAVE, PLEASE KEEP MAKING THIS PRODUCT FOR THOSE OF US WITH DAMAGED SKIN.

I bought this in hopes of finding a product that was formulated without my various allergens. Specifically, without Cocamidopropyl Betaine, which is nearly impossible to avoid in products labeled “hypoallergenic” or “sensitive”, despite it being one of the top contact allergens. This was recommended on the SkinSafe app, because it did not contain any of my 10 allergens. That being said, this formula is awful as a body wash. You need an absurd amount to cover your entire body, and if you’re also working around an 8 month pregnant belly, forget about trying to extend the life of the soap. As soon as it leaves the bottle it already feels like it’s disappearing in your hand. And trying to get it into your body without dropping half of it is nearly impossible. It’s watery & doesn’t suds up even a little to help with spreading it across your skin. I imagine it’d work well for people who are experiencing severe eczema or other skin condition flare ups. Perhaps for use in affected areas only, but certainly not as an overall body wash. Plus, the container is so much smaller than I expected (my fault for not checking the listing more closely), but you really would go through one of these bottles in a week or two with regular bathing. 3 stars - because it could work well for some, but definitely not the best option for those looking to avoid certain allergens.

First and foremost I had read a review that this soap was very runny. That is a complete understatement that it pours out fast and is it very watery. You have to put the now oily slippery bottle down now try to not spill what little soap hasn't run out of your other hand and quickly rub your hands together before it all ends up in the bottom of your shower or tub. "Don't and I repeat you don't want to use a washcloth or loofah you will thank me later." Once you rub your hands together there is almost no lather the soap turns into an odd filmy consistency. Now that you have wash one area or limb you will have to repeat the process of re-dispensing and hopefully not wasting as much soap as I did. The worst part of this product the smell is completely and utterly awful. So in fairness, I tried it twice even with the deathly smell... The first impression I didn't feel very clean which was an odd feeling getting out of the shower. I wasn't as itchy but I did have to use my normal amount of lotion and I did have to use multiple sprays of perfume upon getting out of the shower the smell of the soap does not fade fast sadly and I had an appointment. On the second try, I was really hoping the second round was going to be a little different this time I tried using a washcloth why above I warn not to. Please take that advice, even with apply soap to the washcloth in hope that it would have a different result it did not, no lather I wasn't sure if I was getting clean or not. You are definitely aware that the product is being used by the odor of the soap. This time after getting out of the shower I wanted to see if it could actually help my poor dry skin, so I reframed from using perfume and applied a thin layer of lotion. I was hoping it would fade, but after the shower and a short time later a family member was standing next to me and looking at me puzzled and tell umm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but... "Whatever you washed with smells horrific." I could still faintly smell it on my skin I went and showered with another body wash. I believe products deserve a fair chance and to try them a few times but this product... Just NO! I threw mine away, disappointed and a waste of money. This one needs to go back to the lab for continued testing... #1CeraVe needs to work on is the consistency and #2 (which I almost made #1) CeraVe you need to work on fixing its products that horrific smell.

Good product that helps stop itching! It's not as oily as some other products I've tried, which means it doesn't turn my bath/shower into an ice skating rink. There's still a bit of slippery to it, but not nearly as bad as I have experienced with others. It's unscented which is an absolute must for me. I've been a user of CeraVe for almost a decade, and this is one of their products that I really like. I've read a lot of the low rated reviews, and I think people just might not understand. This isn't going to be like your favorite body wash from Bath and Body Works. It doesn't lather. It isn't scented, so it has a slight oily-ish scent to it. Honestly- I don't even use it all over my body- it's far too expensive for that. But it is a magic product for what it's meant to do- treat itchy and eczema prone skin. I use it on the places I get rashy breakouts, and I use a more regular (cheaper!) soap on my body as a whole. I really encourage people to use and review this product for what it's meant as- a treatment for rashy skin. If you're looking for a bubbly, sweet smelling body wash, this isn't the product for you. If you're looking for a high-quality, unscented, gentle yet effective treatment for eczema and rash prone skin, this is definitely worth trying. Don't be turned off by the bad reviews.

This is not your typical body wash. It doesn't lather, and it's very watery. But I don't itch!!! I've never been able to shower before bed because my skin itches so bad, even with lotion. This does not dry my skin out. The negative star is for packaging, but that can be fixed. I emptied a pump type cerave bottle and put it in there, it works great to reduce waste. When in the original bottle, it gets all over the bottle and you end up with a lot more than you intended. I'm OK with it as I use it as a "refill."

J’ai essayé à peu près tout les nettoyants « peau sensible » pour l’exzéma de ma fille, c’est le seul qui fonctionne vraiment, ça aide énormément à contrôler les lésions. Seul bémol: n’est pas didponible au Canada à part sur Amazon
