Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This body wash earns praise for its ability to lighten dark spots over time and help with body acne and oily skin, thanks to its 5% ceramide content and BHA. The lather is rich and aromatic, with a mango-coconut scent, making it pleasant enough for daily use even with exfoliating gloves. Those with body acne or oily skin may find it particularly helpful.
