Love this body wash
Scent: Lightly Scented, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body wash is the best. It's rich and creamy, I don't like gel body wash. I used to have rough, bumpy skin on the backs of my thighs but this body wash makes my legs really smooth. Consistency is key, it'll take about a week to notice a difference.
