The Product
Looking for that perfect pick-me-up in the morning? For some, that means a steaming mug of coffee, or the smell of fried eggs in the morning, but for others, waking up begins with a cleansing shower. Nothing wakes me up like that first hit of warm water on my face and if my shower can not only cleanse me, but make me smell great too, then even better!
The Guts
Today's product review features a body wash that promises cleansing power, plus the use of stimulating scents to perk your tired body up. Grapefruit and lemongrass burst out of tiny invigorating beads to deliver a tangy fresh scent, while moisturizers like sunflower oil soften skin. This body wash's gel formula lathers up quickly to cleanse and moisturize simultaneously, and like all Dove products, contains 1/4 moisturizers.
Price & Packaging
Only around $10 for a very large bottle - an awesome price! Its oval-shaped bottle is a little slippery to pick up in the shower with soapy hands due to its wider middle, but it does feature a great little flip top.
Effectiveness
The gel formula lathers up nicely, although you have to use a generous amount to really get it going. In fact, this body wash didn't lather as much as most others I have tried, which was slightly disappointing. However, it does get big points for its luscious fruit scent, which was rather intoxicating and as refreshing as claimed. It rinsed away quickly and effectively and didn't leave my skin dry. Since using this product, my boyfriend even claims my knees have gotten smoother!
Buy it or ditch it?
I might buy this product again, just because it smells so good and cleansed well.
Final Verdict: Great citrus scent that left skin squeaky clean and smooth, however you need to use a lot of product.

I feel like citrus scents always wake me up!
that sounds great! I need as much help as I can get in the AM!
i adore peachy scents.
the bottle alone draws me in!
will have to try
Hmm maybe the lack of lather is a good sign? Suds are usually caused by sodium lauryl sulfate which is really harsh on your hair and skin, so the fact that this product doesn't lather as well as others may just reflect the fact that it's got less SLS than other body washes. Anyway, just a theory. :-)
ooh good review. i love smelling super clean when getting out of the shower, but i usually take night showers, so i may stick to lavenders to relax me. =)
I like citrus scent!
hanh,
Every time I see the commercial for this on TV I want to buy it! It looks like it smells really yummy, but I have to wait until my most recent body wash runs out.
hmm...sounds good...I love your reviews! :-)
I stumbled across your blog. Although some of these things don't occur to me, its always fun to read other people's blogs. I like your style of writing and content. I'll be sure to keep coming back. :-D

@Damsels: Thx for the feedback, I'm always open to tweaking my format. Let's say for this product, I'd give it an A-
@lisa: One of its first ingredients is actually that, which also concerns me as I'd heard they were bad for the environment. This may warrant further investigation!
@Delectable Swank: haha they are pretty good commercials!
@Johnni: thx for the compliment, I hope you keep enjoying my blog
This stuff smells absolutely delicious! I did miss the lathery-ness though, as well!
PS I tagged you for the honest scrap award! Check out my latest post for the deets!
I've only tried the Soap..it was pretty good.
