little white truths

Verdict

I won't bang on too much about this product because there's not a hell of a lot to say about a body wash: it either cleans or it doesn't.

This one does. It lathers beautifully and there's something rich and creamy about the lather itself that I'm really enjoying. Indeed, I reckon it foams up a lot more than most body washes I've used in the past, and a little goes a long way with this so I don't feel like I need to use much each time and the bottle should last a good while.

The scent is interesting but there's something I don't love about it that's hard to pin down. It smells quite luxe and creamy and I like the first smell that hits my nose, but there's an almost metallic after-scent to the product (it's a bit tinny or something) that doesn't thrill me. I can live with it but I'm more likely to try this in another scent if I do buy it again, which I suspect I will.

Now it does contain exfoliating beads but I didn't realise this until I used it for the first time without my shower puff: I guess the puff feels exfoliating itself and the beads get lost in the process because there aren't heaps of them and they're not super scrubby.

So I wouldn't rely on this as a dedicated exfoliant, but the good news is that I can happily use this every day without over-scrubbing my skin. The beads are definitely there and I'm more aware of them if I use my hands to apply this, it's just that I don't think they do a hell of a lot so don't go out and buy this if you need a body scrub because it mightn't hit the mark.
