After shaking the bottle for ten seconds and waiting an hour for the contents to properly settle, the powder-based formula transforms into a creamy liquid soap. Cleansing benefits depend on which powder you choose, but featured ingredients include vitamin E to repair skin and oat to soothe. Those with sensitive skin should look for body washes marked as such, Dr. Pliang says, as their consistency is generally more lotion-like. This is definitely the case with the unscented variation of Dove's Sensitive Skin Body Wash. Multiple types of soybean oil and glycerin moisturize skin, while lauric acid helps reduce and treat acne-prone skin. Drawing inspiration from the oil-cleansing trend, Kiehl's Creme de Corps Smoothing Oil to Foam Body Cleanser relies on castor oil to gently clean skin. The formula starts off as an oil and transforms into a gentle foam upon rubbing, leaving behind smooth skin — not a greasy residue. It has a subtle almond scent. Olay's Brightening Body Wash for Women with Vitamin C feels way more decadent than your average drugstore body wash. It's rich, creamy, and infused with not only free-radical fighting ascorbic acid — aka vitamin C — but also niacinamide (also known as vitamin B3), which replenishes moisture levels and helps smooth roughly textured skin. The fresh, subtly fruity scent is also noteworthy. Melissa Piliang, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Cleveland, Ohio suggests steering clear of washes with fragrance, as these can potentially irritate the skin. "They do not enhance the cleansing ability of the body wash, so it is best to avoid fragrance," she explains.

Maui Moisture Vegan Volcanic Ash and Aloe Vera Body Wash, 577 ml

You are getting one super-powered skin-care routine in this limited-edition box, and that routine starts in the shower with this body wash. It is a skin-softening niacinamide formula, loaded with vitamins C and E, that's also ridiculously chic looking sitting in your shower. Clogged pores and body acne have met their match in Hero Cosmetics's Brave Body Power Wash. Its superstar ingredient is gluconolactone, a common PHA (polyhydroxy acid) that provides powerful exfoliating power that even those with sensitive skin can tolerate. Infused with coconut oil, cupuaçu butter, and antioxidant-rich acai oil, Sol de Janeiro's Coco Cabana Moisturizing Body Cream Cleanser deeply moisturizes dry skin. It also smells like a vacation in a bottle, thanks to the brand's signature Cheirosa '39 fragrance, which features notes of green coconut, tropical orchid, and toasted praline. Yum. Never underestimate the power of a superb body wash: The best of them can leave your skin softer — and possibly healthier — after a couple of uses. Plus, it can make you smell like a treat and even thwart body blemishes. (Not to mention, body wash can double as a shaving cream in a pinch.)Treating dry, flaky skin requires using a cleanser with exfoliants, Dr. Piliang says, and Boscia's Papaya and Pomegranate Enzyme Exfoliating Body Cleanser contains "helpful" lactic acid. Think of lactic acid as a smooth skin miracle-worker, and Boscia pairs the dermatologist-approved ingredient with mandelic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known as a skin-brightening and -smoothing powerhouse. Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Body Wash is kind of a big deal — it has won an Allure Best of Beauty Award, an Allure Reader's Choice Award, and even calmed an Allure editor's super-itchy eczema. The (not-so) secret ingredient is colloidal oatmeal, which soothes irritated, sensitive skin. The formula is also hypoallergenic and soap-free — yet is still leaves skin feeling clean.
