First off, let me say that as someone with sensitive skin, finding a body wash that doesn't leave me itchy or dry is like finding gold. Cetaphil's Cooling Relief Body Wash has been a game-changer for my shower routine.
The moment you squeeze it out, you'll notice the luxurious lotion-like texture - it's thick but spreads easily. The eucalyptus scent is subtle yet refreshing, though I wish it was slightly stronger (some users might find it barely noticeable).
Where this product really shines is in its moisturizing power. After weeks of use, my skin feels noticeably softer without that tight, dry feeling many cleansers leave behind. The 'cooling' effect is indeed subtle - don't expect a menthol blast - but there's a gentle refreshment during the shower.
A word of warning: if you love rich lather, this might disappoint. In my hard water area, it barely foams at all (though this didn't affect its cleaning ability). I even tried it as shampoo in a pinch and was pleasantly surprised by how soft it left my hair!
The biggest win? No irritation whatsoever. My eczema-prone skin hasn't reacted negatively once. While some users reported dryness after extended use, I've had the opposite experience with proper post-shower moisturizing.
One odd note - my bottle didn't have an expiration date either, which was concerning. And while most enjoy the light scent, a few find it unpleasant (it's definitely an acquired taste).
Bottom line: If you want clinical-level moisture without irritation and can live without heavy lather, this is worth every penny. Just manage your expectations about the cooling sensation and scent intensity.
