Very moisturizing
Since I don't love the feeling of a moisturizer on the body, this product has been very helpful for me to keep my skin moisturized. It is an oily gel texture with a very slight lather but it does clean the body effectively. Not only does this not strip the skin of its moisture, but it helps to put the nourishment back into the skin so it feels soft and supple after drying off. I have used other more nourishing body washes in the past, and sometimes they really coat the tub with an oily layer that causes the surface to be slippery. This doesn't do that, as it washes away clean without leaving a residue in the shower, which I really appreciate. Not to mention, the 1L size lasts forever between my partner and myself. He does get flares of eczema from time to time, and this has been helpful for him in maintaining his skin health.
Take two
I bought this once before, and I really am satisfied. I have some skin issues on my body, and this tends to soothe them. I use this when I am itchy from the cold air, when I have rashes from insect bites, because I live in the country and you can help to wake up with nasty bites on my body :( . Also, I don't like what is presented for the market for women's skin at a maturing age. The superstore's offering, ,they are harsh, too perfumery, (a lot of quantity, not enough quality). Yes, I feel clean, but I am also sneezing and wheezing from the perfume. The other soaps, I have used tend to dry my skin and now I am ashy. So yes, I do think that this is a good but, f you are looking for something that is good for what is ailing your skin. Also I like the scent, it is fresh, and clean.
Comforting cleanser with an overpowering scent
The consistency of Atoderm Shower Oil is more liquidy than I expected when I first tried it, like a gel-oil. It cleanses very effectively without stripping the skin or leaving a residue behind. After showering, my skin tends to be dry and dehydrated from exposure to the warm water alone, so I follow-up with Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Balm or Gel Cream. I don't feel the need to use as much lotion as I used to since I started using the shower oil, though.
I was initially hesitant to try it because of the fragrance ingredient due to my eczema and sensitive nose. It hasn't caused any irritation so far and is a vast improvement over the Vanicream Gentle Body Wash I'd been using for years. I find the scent pleasant but overpowering. It'd be just about perfect if the scent level was reduced, or if Bioderma released a fragrance-free version.
Awesome Body Cleanser!
This is a great body oil cleanser, you get a huge amount for the price (1 L) and its def worth it. This reminds me of the L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil, minus the almond scent but it has light/mild scent to it. This is perfect. It gently cleanses and you still have that "clean feeling" that other low sudsing formulas tend to not have. I wouldn't say it's hydrating in itself but it definitely doesn't dry out your skin and is the perfect prep for your body emulsions, lotions, or creams. I really like it. I can honestly say it's one of my favorite body washes. I even purchased one for my mom and she loves it too!
It's soap
I didn't find this soap to be anymore hydrating than any other soap. If you're looking for a product to help fight EXTREMELY dry skin this is not the product for you. It has fragrance so be mindful of that. I'm not going to repurchase because I find Aveno body wash more moisturizing at a lower cost.
Best shower gel!
This is the best shower gel/soap that I used so far! A pharmacist indicated to me once when I was travelling in France during winter time, and got an uber dry itchy skin spell! I usually have dry skin, so I always looking for something soothing... This is the only thing that worked! I was going crazy because is so hard to find the whole Bioderma line here in US (and when you find usually anything that isn't Crealine, the price is outrageous comparing with France... (think EU$10 = US$120). I am a much happier person since I discover it on Beautilish! I hope some day they'll carry the whole Atoderm Intense line! And the delivery is always perfect! (always fast and I fell as a kid in Xmas morning opening the cute package! ) ;)
