Glad I can help man. I should try Dove products sometimes. I did use Caress Bar Soap for a while and really loved it.. never used dove soap though.

Middle age female here.

I find that typically body washes, even those that promise the moon and stars, do not really moisturize.

I tend to buy the big "refill" bottles of liquid soap at the pharmacy and use that to shower, then Pat on body lotion or coconut oil.

If you can stand taking cooker showers, that will help with the dry skin.

Dollar Tree and Big Lots both have a decent selection of this brand, looking into getting their Coconut & Hibiscus one or Lavender Escape.


So, how are they?


Thnx in advance.


Ok, I actually vaguely remember using the Coconut & Hibiscus one. I don't remember the lather though.
They smell great, but I found them drying to my skin and made me itch. I have had better results with the Dove brand over the past 10 yrs. Never itchy, and they smell pretty good, too.

I either use shampoo (whatever I get on sale) or Dr Bronner's castille soap-- dilute with water (about a 1 part shampoo or soap to 7 or 8 parts water) and place in a foaming dispenser (I have ones that are similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Foaming-Dispe...018SUABWU?th=1)

A lot of the body washes always say use a bath pouf or puff. I mostly use soap, but someone told me that body washes do a better job and cleans off without residue more effectively and leaves skin more moisturized.
You don't have to use mesh sponges. You can also launder mesh sponges.

They work fine for me,

Be careful on the pack size. The White Rain bottles at the 99 Only store are $0.99 for 12 oz. At the Dollar Tree, they are $1 for the 15 oz size.

The BEST deals are when the Dollar Tree has the 18 oz bonus bottles for $1 or when Big Lots have their 20% off all purchases four Sundays a year.

Personally, I like the Old Spice and the Irish Spring products better BUT ... they are also 3-4x the price with nearly identical ingredients.

Oh yes and it really friggin sucks! I HATED having to take showers in high trace mineral and bleach content water. I'd get out and feel unbelievably irritated no matter what.. it's a nightmare. Glad my new apartment I'm renting does a decent job with the water quality.

I buy whatever is on sale with a smell I like. None of the body washes stand out as special. Olay products are supposed to be hypoallergenic, but I have allergic reactions to that brand.

I keep a jar of coconut oil in the bathroom. I use that in place of lotion after I shower. It works better than lotion for me. My skin doesn't dry out and itch. I can tell when I don't use it.
