First impression? The pump design is a game-changer. No more fumbling with slippery bottles mid-shower. One pump gives enough lather for my whole body – and I'm 6'2"!

The original scent surprised me. It's not 'unscented' but also not overpowering like some drugstore body washes. After rinsing, it leaves just a whisper of clean cotton freshness that doesn't clash with my cologne.

As someone with eczema, I was skeptical about the 'gentle' claim. But after two weeks of use, no flare-ups! My skin feels clean without that tight, squeaky feeling. Pro tip: It works great with my exfoliating gloves – the lather stays creamy instead of disappearing instantly.

The 35oz bottle lasts forever in our 3-person household (about 6 weeks). We keep one in the shower and another at the kids' bath – my 8-year-old loves pressing the pump herself. No tears when it accidentally gets in eyes, which is parenting win.

Only con? The pump sometimes drips a little afterward. I solve this by giving it a quick twist to lock it after use. Small price to pay for such an affordable, effective product that finally ended my years-long hunt for the perfect basic body wash.
