What the gurus are saying

The texture earns real praise for being luxuriously creamy and hydrating while still creating a light lather, which is rare in a moisturizing wash. However, experts split on the preservative blend: one dermatologist flags that the formula contains tholinones, a preservative group known to trigger allergies in some people, and prefers gentler alternatives like Dove for that reason. The scent varies by variety, the rose and cherry option has tested slightly medicinal to some noses, so sampling other fragrances in the range may help if you're sensitive to florals.

"It's kind of the same principle as Dove where it cleanses but moisturizes at the same time. Unfortunately, it's got tholinones which are those preservatives that people frequently become allergic to. So yet another reason why I prefer to stick to Dove body wash. That being said, Olay body wash is pretty good aside from that, but it's not as good as Dove."

"I was actually very surprised how luxurious this felt. The texture was unbelievable. [...] It's a very creamy feeling body wash, it does suds up a little bit which I really really like, and [...] it was very gentle and very hydrating. I could feel the hydration as I was washing my body. I really really liked the texture of this a lot. The only thing is I chose the scent [...] with notes of rose and cherry cream because I don't typically love rose in general, but the cherry in here kind of made it feel a little bit medicinal, like it had a cough syrup smell a little bit. It's not horrible but it's not my favorite. They have a lot of different scents so I feel like I would go back and pick up another scent, but this texture was luxurious and I really really enjoyed it."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.
