The Product
A couple weeks ago I received my complimentary sample of Caress' Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body wash and I could not wait to jump into the shower and lather up! Body washes are my preferred method to cleanse as opposed to soap as body washes typically are more moisturizing, and produce more lather (more bubbles is always better IMO), resulting in a faster washing time.
The Guts
The Caress' Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating body wash promises smoother and more even-toned skin using its special mix of exfoliators and soothing ingredients. Ingredients like burnt sugar scrub away impurities and rough patches, while karite butter, soybean oil, and sunflower oil polish and smooth skin.
Price
Very cheap at under $10!
Packaging
This product comes in a shampoo sized bottle with your standard flip top cap. Nothing too special here, but the exterior is slightly translucent so you can see the product inside, which is reminiscent of pumpkin pie filling. Sadly, this body wash does not smell nearly as yummy.
Effectiveness
Since this body wash doesn't have much of a scent, it was slightly disappointing at first glances - a good body wash should have a strong fragrance to either wake you up in the morning, or soothe your senses into relaxation. However a great thing about the product was that you didn't need to use a large amount; a quarter size dollop is all you need to fully lather up your body from head to toe. I also didn't notice a significant change in the smoothness or tone of my skin. In fact, I have found that certain extremities prone to dryness, like my feet, have become drier since using the body wash! As a daily exfoliator I think this body wash could be acceptable as you can feel the slight graininess of the product, but if you truly want some exfoliating action, I would stick to using an actual body scrub.
Final Verdict
So-so product. It's not the worst, but not the greatest either.
What do you think of the new format for product reviews? Do these categories cover all the key aspects you want to know before purchase? If there's other factors that need covering, please let me know in the comments!

Great review! I was going to try this, I use a different version that I'm not too in love with! If you find something better, let me know!!! :)
I haven't seen this in Romanian stores yet.
Thanks for this, I was actually wanting to try it! I exfoliate ALL the time lol so anything saving time would help (I usually suds up and then scrub or visa versa).
PS Did an interview on a local designer on my blog :)
yes, exfoliating is very important. i really like Burt Bee's.
The packaging is yummy. Great review!
how funny, i just randomly bought that last weekend - haven't used it yet. my favorite is Dove Moisturizing Body Wash - it's the best!

Great review, and I like the format, and covers a good range! hm... suggestion? Maybe add a line about whether you'd buy it again/recommend it?
Hey, thanks for the review, I wanted to leave my feedback though. I loved the smell and feel of this and it made my skin smooth. However... this product has ACTUAL sugar in it, and I ended up getting a yeast infection after washing my 'bits' with it for about a week! I'd never had one before and we're pretty positive that is how I got it. So be careful with this one, ladies. =/
Gotta respectfully disagree as I LOVE THIS STUFF! I orginally bought it for my step daughter for Christmas as part of a gift bag. Tried a little in the shower once and loved it so much I bought a new bottle as I told her she was going to have to share! We've now been through like 4 bottles and even my husband uses it.
The great thing about NOT having a strong scent is the whole family can enjoy it, plus it does not compete with your perfume.
But I guess that's why there are SO MANY different types of body washes...so we can all find one we like.
I beg to differ but maybe it is because I use the beauty bar. The beauty bar is more effective and exfoliates your skin to a soft finish when applied directly onto skin. I used to use the body was but it wasn't doing "it's job" of exfoliating my skin so thatis when I switched over to thebeauty bar. I would politely recommend that you try using the beauty bar and see if you can tell the difference :)
