What the gurus are saying

Rinses off easily and leaves skin clean but not tight: that's the appeal of this oat wash for dry, eczema-prone or sensitive skin. Experts credit the colloidal oatmeal for soothing and hydrating while cleansing without stripping natural oils, plus a creamy, silky lather. It's fragrance-free, so if you buy body wash for the scent, the lavender version gets a nod instead.

*BEST* Skincare Products To Buy At TJ Maxx

"They have my favorite body wash here, the Aveeno Skin Relief fragrance-free body wash. Colloidal oats are so underrated as cleansing, hydrating, and moisturizing ingredients. It's $6.99, so it's not a bad deal."

Dermatologist Shops at Costco: What’s Worth It and What to Skip

"Really happy to see my favorite body wash from Aveeno here. For those of you who are in the market for a fragrance-free option, this is excellent. Excellent. It has colloidal oatmeal, which is of course the ingredient signature to Aveeno and they actually spend a lot of time on the formulation of their colloidal oatmeal. I mean, it is their hero ingredient. And this is lovely. It rinses off the skin well."

Trying Isntree Chestnut AHA | Skincare Vlog

"This Aveeno Skin Relief body wash is a really great body wash option if you deal with dry skin eczema, honestly anyone I think would get along well with this. I've tried a lot of free body washes, for example of course there's Dove, but this is a solid option."

Ultimate Skincare Holiday Gift Guide 2024

"Aveeno has a gift set that includes a fullsize body wash. Their body washes are really good they have colloidal oats which are hydrating, soothing, gentle but they cleanse while also helping to keep the skin moisturized. They're actually very soothing on dry, irritated, inflamed skin. The body wash in this particular scent does have fragrance, it's a very light scent, it's not overpowering. The thing I like about their body washes as well which is key is that they rinse off the skin well."

Affordable Dry Skin Routine | Dermatologist Recommended

"Oats, like colloidal oats, actually form a nice barrier on the skin surface to help reduce water loss, and they also have natural cleansing properties, so they're great in a cleanser. This product is really mild and it rinses off the skin really easily. If you're someone who goes after body washes because you really like that scent, that fragrance, this is probably not going to be that enjoyable for you, but it really does get the job done, and it leaves the skin clean but hydrated."

Dermatologist Shops Costco Skincare: What's Worth Buying?

"One of my all-time favorite body washes for all skin types, but something to consider if you have atopic dermatitis is the Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash. Contains colloidal oatmeal. Not only does it help reduce water loss and hydrate the skin, but it's also a mild detergent to remove debris without stripping away skin's natural lipids. And it contains anti-inflammatory ceramides. You get three bottles, normally this is $14.99, but right now $11.99. That's $3 off, so roughly four dollars a bottle."

"I really like this colloidal oatmeal, hydrating, soothing, anti-inflammatory. It also helps with gently cleansing just from the colloidal oatmeal alone. It's $14.99, not on sale, but that's 28 cents per unit, which is cheaper than the rain bath."

"It's not going to irritate you, it's not like you smell like coconut the rest of the night. It just gives me that luxurious experience. I think this cleanser is a great everyday option, especially if your skin leans dry or sensitive. It does have that colloidal oatmeal, so it's going to help soothe the skin and support the barrier, which is really important in maintaining hydration."

"If you have dry skin, you have to be specially careful about choosing the correct body wash. We want the wash to be effective but should not strip your skin of the essential oils. That is why we like to choose a body wash which is very gentle on the skin."

"The Aveeno Skin Relief Oat Body Wash is more expensive, it's £10 for 500 mls. It's got glycerin plus cocamidopropyl betaine, which is fine, but it's also got oats extract which means it's anti-inflammatory, so this is good for sensitive skin."
