Not good if you like sudsy cleansers
-11.07.12
I returned this product that I wanted to love so much. I think it did not produce suds because of the Shea butter cream. I prefer a rich lather while showering so this did not work for me at all.

Super rich
-09.02.12
I took the time to read a few reviews, and some mentioned the lather factor. I found using a bath sponge, or in my house we call them scrunchies lol, i get plenty of lather. However, you do have to use atleast 5 pumps, since the amount it pumps out is smaller than others I've tried.
That said, I do find my skin is much softer and smoother. I don't feel like I need aditional moisturizer, or body lotion, after a shower now. I wasn't too impressed with the fragrance. Next time perhaps I will try one with some intentional perfumes.

Quick Take: scented
This smells amazing! Creamy, lotion-like consistency, doesn't make your skin feel tight or dry. I love to use it with my loofah to prep my skin for shaving.

Very rich and moisturizing
-11.27.11
Quick Take: scented, moisture rich, rich and creamy
This rich shower cream has a nice cashmere scent. It feels nice and sudsy in the shower, leaving your skin clean and softly scented. This shower cream is perfect for the dry winter months when skin can get stripped of natural oils.

Quick Take: scented, no residue, skin is soft
The product smells sooo good! I have very dry/sensitive skin and this product cleans my skin and leaves a soft touch when dry. I dont have to apply lotion after using it.

Not moisturizing enough
-10.28.11
Quick Take: lightly scented
Not surprisingly, this doesn't lather, but I miss that. I don't feel that it leaves my skin any more moisturized that anything else, and it's net even dry winter yet.

Good soap free body wash!
-08.20.11
Quick Take: foamy, lightly scented
The product smells great and lathers nicely if you use a bath sponge. The product will not produce any foam and you will waste more of it if you use a wash cloth.

These shower creams are fantastic. Thick & rich yet very soft. I purchased all the scents and each one smells and feels so good I couldn't pick a favorite. Highly recommend!!

Very moisturizing
-07.18.11
Quick Take: lightly scented, moisturizing
I bought this because I have sensitive skin and love moisturizing body washes because I don't tend to put lotion on often, so I'm always searching for the most hydrating. The positive is that my skin felt wonderful after using this, super soft. The downside is the price and I'd much rather it be thicker and in a squeeze tube. I had to use at least 5 pumps to get a nice lather, so it ran out too fast. I'm still looking for something cheaper, but if I can't find it, I'll come back to this at least for winters

Good Cleanser
-07.18.11
Quick Take: not foamy enough
This is a really good cleanser, but my only gripe is that it doesn't seem to lather up all that well. I mix it in with another body wash to get the moisture and lather i am looking for. Paired with the body butter, it's incredible.

Nice
-06.05.11
Creamy and foamy, I love using this with my Clarisonic Plus in the shower for my body. Feel super soft when getting out of the shower. Light scent that does not clash with any perfume. I would actually say gender neutral.

Not my fav
-05.15.11
Quick Take: lightly scented
This stuff doesn't lather up well, and goes on thick and sorta greasy. While Shea Butter is very rich, making this cream soap thick, it is difficult to get out of the bottle and doesn't make me feel clean after bathing.

Keeps dry air itchies away
-04.15.11
Quick Take: lightly scented, moisturizing
I have super dry skin, and this is the only thing I can use during the 3 dry seasons of the year. It keeps me from scratching myself raw. I use it as a body wash and to shave my legs. I have to bring it with me when I travel because even a few days of hotel soap will make my skin hate me again. I have tried a lot of body washes, but this is the only one I keep buying.

Smells Amazing on my Hubby!
-04.05.11
Quick Take: scented, creamy, manly
I had no idea what this would smell like, but I did know it would be incredibly creamy and moisturizing, just like all the Body Shop's shower products! I have psoriasis and it seems like I can't use anything without drying up and getting a rash! Not these! I love their gels and creams for the shower! My husband is in love with this particular shower cream. I think it smells pretty manly/like nice cologne, so I wouldn't use it on myself, but it makes him smell amazing! WHAT A DEAL for something that actually moisturizes instead of making you itch!

It's okay
-04.03.11
Quick Take: lightly scented
It smells really good but I'm more used to showering with something that lathers some, this lathers none at all. I feel like I need to use many squirts to clean myself.
