Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This body wash pairs 1% salicylic acid with gluconolactone, a gentler exfoliator that hydrates while it works, to tackle acne and bumpy skin. Gurus praise it for sensitive and dry skin, and the fragrance-free formula matters for anyone allergic to fragrance. If using on your face, be cautious around the eyes, as some find their eyelids get dry.
