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

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 timeWork 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.
