20 Best Hydrating Body Wash & Soaps For Every Budget 2020

naina

It arrived fast as it had ordered from Amazon Prime. I am someone who never gives reviews to any product because I simply did not care, but recently I started buying a lot online, I trust the reviews a lot and I do not buy products that have less than 4 stars. So going back to this product, I would like to give it 10 stars, I am a person who has suffered dry skin for years and after showering, if I do not put lotion in 5 minutes, I go crazy because my body starts to itch and it dries super. I am writing this review after 3 hours of showering and I have not used any lotion on my body. My body does not feel dry and it does not cause itching, and also the smell is super calm and soothing. Update: I even forgot to put on lotion after the shower and I am updating this review the next day. Finally, after 27 years of struggle to find the perfect shower for the body, I found one. The price is also good considering that you will get two full bottles and it comes with a pump. I guess a bottle will last more than a month, depending on how many days of the week you take a shower. 2 bottles lasted 6 months, because little goes very far and I take alternate days. BUY THEM!

I wanted to wait a few days after buying this bath gel before leaving an honest review, mainly to try a couple of areas. Recently I decided to try a natural soap after noticing that my skin has become very sensitive to many things. Of course, to begin with, I thought I needed a soap with "extra moisturizers" or something like that, but it was not enough. I started navigating the Amazon to see what were the best qualified natural / organic body washes, and this was the first on the list. The critics were extremely positive and the main thing that caught my attention was the number of people who claimed that this soap left their skin with a soft, smooth and hydrated feeling. After the purchase, the product arrived VERY fast, so I was happy as always. Now I have used this soap on three different occasions, not only on the body but also on the face. Like the other reviewers, I noticed that when I got out of the shower, I did not have that "need to wear lotion now" feeling ridiculously uncomfortable. My legs used to have some type of moisturizer when I came out of the shower, but it seems that this product has decreased. The soap soaps well, goes a long way (I think 1-2 pumps are perfect for the whole body) and it smells absolutely AMAZING. I am in love with the natural list of ingredients and I am very excited to see how this works in the future, as well as recommend it to other members of my family. I definitely believe that I will continue to do this body wash one of my "healthy wastes".

First of all, I love all the things that this body wash says it's "not", that's what initially attracted me. I really like the smell, not too strong and not too hopefully as the last "has nothing bad for you" body wash that I tried. It's great, and the top of the pump is incredibly handy. However, I had an allergic reaction to it. I didn't want to believe it, because I liked the product so much, but after two weeks I had to stop. I cannot locate the irritant, and I must mention that I have a baby's skin - ridiculously sensitive (you thought I would be insanely soft and apparently hairless) - when it comes to body washing, detergent, lotion, etc. I am sure that my experience will probably not occur for most other consumers who buy this. I would really recommend this, if you don't have to be picky in the laundry aisle.

Lexi Jones

Great natural product It enumerates great smells, but it does not stop in your skin, which I love. Also our dog really likes it too

SomeoneOutThere

This body wash is non-irritating and has no terrible asphyxiation, which is great. When you place it on your shower stool and rub it in, it feels very thick and moisturizing. However, it rinses clean and rinses away all the moisture that I hoped to get. It is rather strange how a thick body wash leaves no moisture behind. It was a great buy, much better than cetaphil body wash, but I'll look for something that really hydrates and contains no MI / MIC. When I got mine, the pump was already broken, as some other reviews said. That makes it a much bigger hassle to use, so I removed a star because it appears to be a common phenomenon.

I recently discovered that I probably have my father's (inherited) eczema (AD). I have replaced old products with products that he recommends, including this one. Very soothing for my skin, no redness after my shower like my previous body wash left my skin. Will definitely order again!

Mary McAwesome

This is the first product line that I have used in more than 10 years (and I have tried them ALL, including RX at this point) that has significantly reduced my eczema flames. I switched to using only this product line as a whole and am enthusiastic about the outcome. Nothing even came back when I was traveling and had to use something else on the road for 3 days. Even the scar from previous flares has started to decrease while using this product.

Honest Tree

Friends, do not misjudge this product by expecting it to be Cetaphil's regular cleanser, known as (Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser.) This product, namely (Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser,) sold by this seller is completely legitimate. They are two completely different products. This cleaner is opaque and whitish in color. My dermatologist recommended it to me two years ago when I unexpectedly got rosacea on my cheeks. Before that I always had normal, problem-free, acne-free skin. I've been using it since. It is indeed gentle and soothing. I do not use it to remove makeup. I don't think it's made to effectively remove my makeup or my SPF 50 sunscreen. That's okay, because I use another tried and tested facial cleanser in one step at night. I use this, Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, the first thing in the morning, followed by a soft scrub or a holy-grail toner I'm married to. This cleanses my skin and sets a calm, clean cloth for me to then use the rest of my skin care regimen (toner, serums, moisturizer and SPF). Thanks to this (and without Rx) I now no longer suffer from rosacea. I can also count on this gentle cleanser to soothe my skin when I try a new product that unexpectedly irritates me. So please, don't hate this if you expected it to be a different, completely different product from Cetaphil. Because this is just my experience, my opinion, I understand whether this product didn't work for you or if it irritated your skin unexpectedly. Finally, if you worry about parabens, I get it. I normally send parabens away. But see how it last appears on this product. That's a good thing. More importantly, you look up which seasoned consumer advocate, Paula Begoun (of Paula's Choice), has become a beauty guru and manufacturer, making statements about parabens in skin care. See beautypedia.com.

I don't like the consistency of this soap. I prefer something that foams and makes me feel that the soap cleanses my skin. However, this works. I sometimes use this after wiping, but most of the time I just go straight here and then use a washcloth to wipe away any makeup that has been washed away. That's just eyeliner and makeup under the eyes. I have not noticed any improvement in my acne. I currently have an inflamed pimple and I use this stuff every morning. I will increase usage and use it overnight to see if it helps to soothe my skin. I started using this about 3 or 4 weeks ago after a failed chemical peel. I needed something that was very gentle and yet cleansing. I will use another type of medical cleanser after washing, just because my type of acne needs treatment.

Sheryl from Manassas

I have been using Cetaphil and its moisturizing cream since I was a teenager. No other product cleansed my oily skin without drying it terribly, and it took care of my acne and later it helps with Rosacea. One thing, put it on your dry skin and then remove it with a tissue or a damp washcloth. If you start with wet skin, it doesn't work so well. It removes oils from your skin as a panacea. I also keep a bit in a container in my bag. Because it is so easy to use (apply, wipe with tissue), I can freshen up my skin anywhere.

Stephanie

So o give these three stars Kai ky Because the scent of course is great, just like the vagrant cream ... but it doesn't foam up as well as I had hoped. Also the scent AFTER you come out of the shower does not really arrive. 25.00 is in my opinion a lot for a bottle of body wash but I just signed up to try this. Yes, I like it, but do I also love it? Nah ... shall I order again? Nah is just not worth 25.00 for me. Maybeeee 3 p.m. Absolutely not nearly 30.00 BC. And so yah idk so that's just my opinion

Kate McMurry

I use Dr. Bronner's highly concentrated, biodegradable, liquid soap for decades. I dilute it with about 1 tablespoon per 1 cup of water (1:16) for filling liquid soap dispensers for hand washing. I also use a tablespoon in about a liter of water for dishwashing and household cleaning. I use 1/4 cup per load of laundry (together with 1 cup of white vinegar and 1/2 cup of baking powder). It works well for all these purposes. Lavender is my favorite scent of Dr. Bronner, but I also buy tea tree and peppermint.

Jennifer H.

My order arrived on time and in perfect condition. The seller sent an email shortly afterwards to ensure that I had received my order and to make sure that I was happy with my purchase. I absolutely adore Dr. products. Bronner and use them for years. I use the Lavender Castile liquid soap every day in the shower, and have it in foamy dispensers at every sink in the house. I mix 1 part of Dr. Bronner's soap with 3-4 parts of water in the dispensers for a rich hand soap. Of all the scents, lavender is my favorite. It smells delicious! It is also non-drying for the skin. I have purchased this on Amazon from other sellers and have had problems with the quality of some bottles that I have received. Some were cracked and leaked, and some were old product that had an unpleasant odor. I have purchased this several times from this seller and have always received my order quickly and in perfect condition. Great price too!

Kathleen

This soap is great, I love the smell, but above all it really works as promised. I use it in different applications. I can do anything with shampoo, the children's hair, the dog, the laundry and yes even the sink. The list is endless ...

Who111

Wow, I'm so impressed! This stuff is magical and the smell ,,,, this has turned the head! I have never used anything that smelled so AWESOME and kept smelling AWESOME all the time! Usually the smell fades and then it disappears! This, not even near that kind of experience! I'm really blown away! Love the scent and it makes my skin feel so rich and soft! I'm in ahhh and I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to this type of product! I love it! Without a doubt this is a great product! Thank you very much!

I ordered the Nourisher, labeled for very dry skin. I have very to extremely dry skin, depending on the season. It arrived on time, well packaged and has a pleasant light aroma. However, it is NOT for very dry skin, or probably even moderately dry skin. I inherited my dry skin from my dad, and it only got worse as I got older, so I've been looking for about 40 years for a product that makes cleaning as easy as using soap without a heavy perfume, without hydrating after use and that leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight. This affected 2 of the 4 of them. I have just used oil in recent years, which is a great cleanser, but is messy and sometimes leaves an oily odor. Grape seed oil, avocado oil, sesame seed oil are all great light oil cleansers. Argan oil is also a good one, and I thought, because of the ingredients mentioned in the description, this was mainly argan oil with other small ingredients. My bad for not looking at the photo of the ingredients at the top. It is a good cleaner. And I will probably use it for my feet as an easy quick cleaner with my foot washer, but I will not use it on my body because it feels like my skin has just been washed with regular ivory soap. Even after I showered myself with oil afterwards. I took away a star because I was not the product that people with very dry skin can use. I brought another star because I was a product that makes me feel that my skin is dry even after I have covered myself with oil.

babygirlpink Aka Chasity

Great, I love these products, the scent is absolutely beautiful. I should compare this with soap and Glory and I'm not kidding, because I am a die-hard soap and Glory fan and it smells great, please come with more things

Amazon Customer

This smells so good. When I grabbed the box by the front door, I could smell it and thought the bottle was broken and the soap spilled into the box, but when I opened the package, it was in perfect condition, just a very good, strong scented soap. I was worried that if it was strong enough to smell through the box, it would probably be too strong to shower with, but it wasn't as strong as I thought it would be in the shower. It makes my skin feel better, and not nearly as itchy when I get out of the shower. So far I like it a lot and I intend to buy it again.

A Wife, Mom, Jedi

Itchy skin? TRY THIS! I got this on a whim for an order from Pantry and waited for months to use it. I bought it initially for my girls who get dry skin in the winter, but I was the one who died of itchy skin one night. The next morning I used this and it was a miracle. I could go to bed that night without itching. I used it for every shower and it made a huge difference. As I get older, my skin has become drier and drier, and this even helps keep my hands hydrated during the day. It comes out as baby oil (without smoothing out the bath) and I used it with a washcloth initially, but that seems to hamper the ability to spread it around. Use it without a washcloth and it spreads better. Again, the shower / tub does not smooth. I use another brand that I have been faithful to for years, which is gentle, because I have allergic reactions to body soap with junk colors and fragrances. This is perhaps my new best friend during the winter season!

Our son has extremely sensitive skin. In 2014 he had a large skin rash that brought us several doctor visits to diagnose. Two doctors diagnosed him with eczema and referred us to a specialist. The doctors were convinced that skin conditions are extremely difficult to treat. They wanted us to realize that this would not be easy. The doctor gave us samples of two products. One sample was this product and the other was Aquaphor Baby Wash and Shampoo. We use the Eucerin in the bath water and the Aquaphor to wash our munchkin. It worked! No expensive specialist, medicines or creams. This has succeeded and has worked for years. When the weather changes and we have more serious flair-ups we use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. The doctor will sometimes prescribe a prescribed steroid to mix with. These three things have been life saving for our little boy. Skin conditions are difficult to treat. Medications and treatments can be extremely expensive and often do not yield any benefits. This is a review from a mother that these products work. Yes, the Eucerin is fat. It is an oil to hydrate the skin. No, we have never had problems smelling, but I think that is more of an individual bias. That said, it has no smell or a great smell. It's very clear, but if you think perfumed products usually cause more problems. It means that it works.

I have been using this product for over a year now. There is nothing else, literally nothing else that I can use without serious dehydration and skin irritation. Great if you have itchy skin and / or good water. Lasts a long time. Doesn't soap as much as soap and has no odor at all, which is a bonus for me, but maybe a disadvantage for someone else. If it comes out easily, give it a try.

KAW

I have very problematic itchy skin and have tried different products: CeraVe Eczema soothing body wash, Ceraphil Eczema soothing body wash, Sebamed body wash for sensitive skin, and Jason soothing lavender body wash ... nothing works like Eucerin skin soothing body wash!

corinna m bauer

Love that I found this! I usually have to stock my bath and body products once a year, so this made my night! Love the scents and how European products make my skin feel. Would recommend these products and all others that become available. I'm breaking in without the trip or the shipping costs!

Mrs W

I read about this in magazines and had to order something. Frankly, I don't know what this thing is all about. I thought it would be hard to find and so I ordered it on Amazon. Turns out it's in my supermarket. It doesn't smell bad, but nothing special or exotic. And the scent stayed on my skin no longer than the philosophy of body washing, that is, maybe an hour. Also does not foam as well as most others. Finally I gave away a few bottles. The St. Ives body wash is still the best I've found and I've tried a lot.

LA Holc

Order second time. A very creamy, nice-smelling body wash. My legs stay hydrated and no longer pull late in the day. Great product.

Asmaa

I love the smell and quality of the products of le Petit Marseillais. However, I have normal to dry skin and this specific product line makes my skin drier. I think this line is not for dry skin.

MeandIain

I thought I'd hate this and have visions of old women who smelled of rose water and mothballs from my past. But I don't know this stuff smells great, keeps your skin soft and I've become so fond of it that I won't use anything else. I have bought travel bottles to take on every trip,

Poppy Cute

There is no nicer scent. BUT for the amount you receive, it seems too expensive. I can go through a whole bottle in two weeks and I only use a few pumps.

Amazon Customer

I have not switched to another soap for two years.

Bill D

This works just as well as Ax without you smelling like a frisky teenage boy. For half the price you can take the time to ensure that you are also clean.

William Xavier

Lathers like a boss. Smells great. The packaging was not great.

Michiganman

Nice body wash

AVEENO Positive nourishing moisturizing body cleansing, 16 FL. OZ. - Fig and shea butter formula. This product is the bomba! I was looking for a moisturizing body wash that had no predominant odor and did not clash with an applied odor after bathing. This product is soft and creamy and forms a nice foam. The scent is absolutely delicious! Soothing and light fruit scent, it is very reminiscent of a spa experience (no pun intended). It cleans well without being too hard or drying. I especially like to travel with it, because hotel products that I have experienced often dry and sometimes have unpleasant odors. This product is very cheap to start up! Here is a relaxing tip: a splash or two in your hot tub ensures a relaxing, stress-relieving enjoyment! And who could not use that? A break from everything can be as close as your bath or shower! Enjoy it I usually finish the bath with Nivea Cocoa Butter Intensively hydrating body lotion that continues before it comes out of the bath or shower. Consult that review - and you will enjoy soft skin and smell like a million for pennies !! The two products go hand in hand! Enjoy bah time! It is the cheapest, most accessible luxury that is possible!

Barbara Evans

This Aveeno body wash is my favorite when showering. I've been using this wash for at least a year, maybe longer. As you know, this replaces the need for dry soaps. And especially now, with the colder weather. It produces a small amount of foam.

bandbgirl

I live in an area where the air is very dry in the winter. I absolutely love the unique scent (fig!) Of this cleanser, but it leaves my skin dry. After only a few uses, it is put away for the winter ... I will try again in the summer.

Rebecca

My skin always feels dry. So I tried this product. I have to say it was the best I have ever used. The Shea butter provides a layer of softness on your entire body! Feel refreshed and so soft after use. There is also a light, charming scent. This is a life changer for me!

C. Bundy

The soap is great and smells great. The packaging was terrible! The lid was not tight and it probably leaked a little soap during transport. There is no way to contact other Amazon who return an item. I love the product, but I am very disappointed with the Amazon shipping staff. I know this is not the right place to post this problem, but I cannot find the packaging overview area. See photos of goopy packages.

Mikeysma

This product was leaked in the package when I received it, not much but enough that I had to wash the bottle when I opened it. It is not a cheap product and it is annoying to receive a product that was partially wasted before you opened it. The soap itself has a very pleasant slightly lemon-like odor and completely rinses away, leaving my skin hydrated. I really like this body soap .... but they really need to improve their packaging.

Michelle Martinez

I discovered the Bliss brand while staying in a W-hotel (where the complementary soaps and shampoos in the room are Bliss brands). This fresh scent struck me after my stay at the hotel, so I found it on Amazon and ordered a bottle. I love the fresh scent in the shower in the morning, it's a fresh clean feeling. Let my skin feel normal, not excessively oily or dry. My friend also uses it for the same reason ... Helps us to be ready to face the day every morning! I went through 2 bottles and am not tired of the smell.

Chad Crabtree

This stuff seems to help a bit with my back acne, but I also love the smell of it. I don't know what kind of scent it is, and I imagine it would be unpleasant to some, but I love it. However, it is very thick, so be careful not to use it quickly; it goes fast.

Tiger88

Have this for my daughter who has acne problems on her back. After using it for a few weeks now, she sees a clear improvement in her skin condition. The product is well foaming and has a pleasant odor instead of a chemical aroma. Not the cheapest product there is, but it really works. Buy more of it.

Thomas M.

not a fan of what it's supposed to do. I threw away half the unused bottle and bought something else. Would not recommend it.

Crystal

I love this. Cleared up a lot of my acne. Smells great to me. Must be replenished quickly!

Kreta

I have been using this specific body wash for years and have noticed that it has suddenly disappeared from the shelves. On Amazon I went looking for it and bought 6 bottles to stock up! I travel often and always refill one of my bottles to take with me. Note that the (original) body wash is at the bottom and that I have purchased a different color on Amazon. So why did I still give it three stars even though it might have been a letdown? I have incredibly sensitive skin and I have not received a response yet. I hate to wear lotion and it gives my skin just enough moisture to go without. The scent comes close enough to the original. Not the same, but there is really nothing else comparable on the market and I love a citrus scent.

BadgeBunnyV

My favorite line of body wash! I have tried Coconut, Illuminate and Happiness. The coconut is a soft coconut scent. Not too sweet and not like suntan lotion. Illuminate is a pure feminine scent and NO leaves no glitter on your skin. Happiness has a soft citrus scent. It reminds me of Clinique Happy perfume. All three are gentle and moisturizing. They are rinsed well and leave no residue on your skin.

Willread Anything

Not only do I feel clean, but I also feel that the moisture really drips into my skin. I have very dry skin, especially this time of year, so this is a real blessing.

Jo

The hydrating body wash is ok. it is very thick and does not rinse easily. It was also difficult to squeeze out of the bottle because the plastic is very hard. I prefer the hydrating cleaner because it is easy to wash and the pump dispenser is easier to use.

michelle

This body wash is ok ... I am obsessed with CeraVe moisturizing cream, so I thought I would really like the body wash. I probably won't order it again because you have to use a lot to get a good wash and you run out quickly.

Moving On

CeraVe bars are much better! This stuff is difficult to squeeze out of the container and has an unpleasant, chemical odor. The pouffy foam has a nice texture, but does no more than water to remove body odor, etc.

Khandy

Too thick, difficult to wash, but no odor and all natural, which I like.

. Mueller

This review is for the Beessential Body Wash, Lavender And Bergamot, 8 Ounce. I am a bit torn about this review. On the one hand, I love the way it smells and the way it makes my continuously dry skin less dry. Sounds good right? It is. What's not great is how the bodywash was carelessly thrown into a too large box without protection and the pump in the unlocked position so that part of the product leaked into the box. Fortunately it came loose from my other items so it didn't ruin anything. Still, opening the box to find a somewhat slippery bottle with some dried product with crusts around the pump was not really a good first impression. I don't know if this was a freak incident or what, but there is just something about receiving an item in a way that you know care has been taken with your order. That did not happen here at all. TLDR: well washed, poorly shipped and leaky.

Hilary B

I feel that this review might help some people to replace Burt's Bees peppermint body wash because it has stopped ... not only is this a suitable replacement, it's better than Burt's Bees. It has a better consistency, it is less watery. I love the pump that comes with it, and as far as smell is concerned, it is still minty, but it is slightly less than Burt's Bees. I don't think that's bad, and this is my new body wash. I mainly wanted to write this review because another reviewer says it is terrible compared to Burt's Bees - that review made me consult my purchase almost secondly before I bought it, but I am very glad I took the chance. Consider my review if you are replacing Burt's Bees!

L. Hager

I have sensitive skin and cannot use much of the soap / shampoos that are on the market. I have used this whole body wash and it is soft and does not dry or irritate my skin. FUN !! Thanks for a great body wash - smells great too.

It helped my keratosis polaris! I was staying on an Airbnb that had this soap. And I realized that my KP in my arms and legs was significantly reduced. At first, I was not sure if it was the humidity of the air or the pH balance of the water in the different cities, but I decided to order this together with the Lotion for Everyone when I returned home. A month has passed and my skin has improved a lot. I've tried all the expensive products advertised as made specifically for KP, but nothing has worked like this soap has. The KP in my legs is completely gone. My arms are the most affected by KP, and so far they are free in 80% KP. Versus before, no matter how many products, or how much exfoliated, or hydrated, nothing improved in a lasting way. I know that this soap is not advertised for KP, but I recommend any other person with KP to try this. It is also a good price for so much product. I'm not sure if the results would be as good without the lotion as well. I've been using them both together and exfoliating almost every day. Please, if you have struggled with KP as bad as mine, try this. This is the first summer since I was 11 and I was able to wear tops with sleeves above my elbows, or wear shorts and skirts without having to rub a lot of Sally's airbrush stuff. I am very grateful for the Airbnb host who put this soap in the shower for the guests to use. I almost did not try this either because the label did not look attractive, but I ended up using it because I ran out of shampoo. Once I felt how soft my arms felt, I decided to use this soap all over my body the next day. I can not express in words how grateful I am that this product has been created. If you have an extremely bad KP like me, you will fully understand how your quality of life is affected by this unsightly condition. I have missed many things because I was very embarrassed by my KP.

My children are 9 and 11 years old, and their hair has started to grease. I tried 3 shampoos from the health food store, and they did not reduce much fat. I thought that my daughter had very fine and fibrous hair. But after seeing good reviews, I tried this. Today (first use!) They look like they're in a shampoo ad, both have soft, full hair. It is actually lighter in color! I feel bad now about using the others for a couple of years, when the children could have had better hair if we had tried this. I also have the daily balance conditioner, which is great. A little long ago, so it will last a long time.

kirszen

I can not recommend this 3-n-1 coconut / lemon soap enough. I love it for its price, list of ingredients and use, but the smell is INCREDIBLE. If you like that sunscreen / suntan oil, Hawaiian beach scent, THIS IS FOR YOU. I'm impressed because that scent is my favorite of all time, but I have no use for those products or synthetic ingredients. I can not recommend this enough. The Lavender Kids is also fantastic. Great smell and excellent replacement for other synthetic lavender bath products before sleep.

Janice Schons

This was a gift for my daughter. She loves it, but can't afford to buy it herself

Martha A Arntson

Best "Oprah Cream" ever!

Judy Correllus

Packaging and delivery was great as expected. If you haven't tried this lotion yet, try it. You are not going back to anything else. It's fantastic.

RF

I have tried several daily moisturizers and this is the winner for me (male, 32). It is so soft that I will use it on my face and love it.

Debashish Mitra

This is a fantastic shower gel. Contains no SLS, Parabens, Petrolatum, Mineral oil - now THAT is hard to find - these toxic chemicals are now pervasive in almost all cosmetic products. Contains beautiful natural ingredients such as aloe, plant extracts and natural oils. I have tried dozens of shower gels (including designers such as Armani, Burberry, YSL). Some clean exceptionally well, some smell excellent BUT this is the one that I found best for the skin. Despite not containing the surfactant Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (or Sodium Laureth Sulfate or Ammonium Lauryl sulfate) - this cleans wonderfully. The most important thing is that this makes the skin healthy, cared for and detoxified. The scent is from natural Pine and so this is not for people who are looking for strong scented cologne-like scent from a shower gel. If skin health is a first concern when choosing a shower gel then this is the best I have come across. HOWEVER, this specific money-saving 32 OZ package has, for one reason or another, the content extremely watery compared to the normal 16 Oz packs available here and at health stores such as Wholefoods. So I returned the 32 Oz bottle and went back to the 16 Oz bottle. Apart from this, this gel is one of the best you will find if you are looking for a green (environmentally friendly), natural, effective and safe skin care product OPDATE and CAVEAT - May 29, 2016 - The formula for this product has since been modified review written. The new formulation apparently contains more artificial ingredients and fewer of the beneficial natural ingredients than the original. I have not tried the new formula
