What they liked

Lightweight, pleasant texture

What they flagged

Vitamin C unlikely to penetrate in a wash formula

What the gurus are saying

Vitamin C's effectiveness in a rinse-off body wash format divides expert opinion. One dermatologist expresses skepticism about whether ascorbic acid can meaningfully penetrate skin in a wash-off product, since the ingredient is notoriously difficult to absorb even in leave-on formulas. Another reviewer finds the brightening formula genuinely pleasant to use. Not enough gurus have weighed in yet to draw a clear picture.

"This one has ascorbic acid form of vitamin C that if it actually gets into your skin may help improve collagen, also fight dark spots and potentially help with warding off sun damage. I do question how likely it is to get in your skin in a body wash formulation. It is possible for active ingredients to be deposited on the skin in a body wash, however we all know ascorbic acid is challenging to get into the skin at baseline, so that's why I'm more skeptical."
