CeraVe Soothing Body Wash for Dry Skin, Shower Oil for Sensitive, Dry, Itchy, and Eczema-Prone Skin, Fragrance Free & Paraben Free & Sulfate Free, 10 oz

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.

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.

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.
