    If you like vanilla scents you may like this a lot. I love vanilla (a true real vanilla) and was excited when I first saw this and at first the scent was nice then I started to tire of it and found...

    This smelled divine when I sniffed it in the store; however, that smell turned "plasticky" once applied to my skin in the shower. Very disappointing. Will be returning b/c I can't deal with the...

    Whenever I use this body wash it really does make my skin soft. So it does a good job at moisturizing. The scent is alright. It is strong at first but it doesn't last long. It foams up very...

    Love the light fragrance and love how creamy yet foamy this is. I got this from Target a huge bottle for $5.49. A nice changeup from my usual Dove. The only tiny issue is the bottle cap, seems...

    The really cold, dry winters can take a toll on my skin. I picked this up at Target and it really has helped keep my skin moisturized. I suffer from eczema and this seems to help keep that under...

    I'm a little undecided about this product, but since I don't love it I can't give it a great rating. Pros: pretty moisturizing, and my skin is not as dry when I get out of the shower Stuck...

    I purchased some of this after all the rave reviews on the bath forum here on MUA. I figured since it wasn't especially expensive compared to many of the other products I use "no harm, no foul" so...

    Why, oh why, do companies have to play this "Limited Edition" crap?To create a rush on the product, of course. Somehow, the existence of this product escaped me until the day-after-Christmas sale...

    Hmm, this smells nice, but I wouldn't say it's particularly vanilla nor indulgent. It smells more soapy than vanillaish, but it is pleasant, and a nice change of pace from my usual Dove. I can't...

    This is a great body wash. It's creamy and feels very luxurious. It does not dry out my skin at all, it's somewhat moisturizing. The smell is just amazing. I don't know if I would call it vanilla,...
