Let me start by saying this body wash is a GAME CHANGER for anyone with dry, itchy skin or psoriasis. The thick, luxurious lather feels like you're washing away the day's grime with liquid campfire magic (in the best way possible).
The pine tar scent is STRONG during use – imagine standing next to a freshly chopped Christmas tree mixed with a hint of smoky campfire. But here's the kicker: it rinses clean without leaving you smelling like a lumberjack all day. My skin felt noticeably softer after just one use, and my occasional eczema patches calmed down within days.
What surprised me most was how well it worked as shampoo! My fine hair that normally tangles if I look at it wrong now brushes out smoothly. And yes, it does have that distinctive Pine-Sol-esque aroma (which honestly grew on me), but it's way more pleasant than actual cleaning products.
The only drawbacks? The scent might be too intense for some (though it fades after rinsing), and I did have one bottle arrive with a slightly broken seal. But at $15 for 16oz that lasts forever because you need so little, I'll gladly repurchase – leaky bottle or not.
Pro tip: Don't let the 'for men' marketing fool you. This unisex formula works wonders regardless of gender. If you're tired of body washes that leave your skin tight and dry, or shampoos that aggravate scalp issues, Packer's deserves a spot in your shower rotation.
