Following are example user reviews (edited for style), selected for their anecdotal insights on product form and function.
- This product made my skin softer and soothing. My skin seems a little brighter after one week. I also love the fruity scent; it smells like orange peel, very fresh and suitable for spring and summer.
- This a great body wash from Dove. This has a nice texture with small exfoliating beads. The scent is nice and citrusy, as you would imagine. My skin feels nice and moisturized afterwards.
- Its unique formula, infused with brightening serum and vitamin C, helps eliminate dullness and reduce dark spots. The citrus-fresh scent energizes your senses, and after use, your skin feels smooth, soft and hydrated.
- I’ve been using this body wash for about a week now, and I really like it. It has a really nice citrus kind of scent that I really like. It lathers really when and gently exfoliates without being too harsh on my skin, which I love. It leaves my skin soft and glowing after. I’ve not been using it long but I have definitely seen a difference in my skin and it’s definitely less dull and a bit brighter.
