Size: 400ml



Packaging: opaque white bottle with a flip open cap.

Price: I can't really remember the exact price, but I am sure it was under $10

How to use : Pour onto moistened pouf, Sponge, washcloth or hands. work into a rich creamy lather and rinse. Avoid contact with eyes.

Texture: rich and creamy, it feels really nice :)


Smell: it smells like little babies and milk.. it is a bit weird, but that what the smell remind me of, my sister says it actually smell a bit floral and it have nothing to do with milk.. so I don't really know, but the smell is nice.



Pros:
- rich creamy texture.
- lather very well.
- reduce flacks in your skin, and keep it hydrated.
- the smell is nice.
- contains vitamin E which is good for your skin.

Cons:
- it is not very gentle on your skin, you should avoid using it when you are having rash or itchy skin because it makes it worse.
- after a while you get used to the smell and it starts getting annoying.
- too much ingredients with weird spelling :/

Repurchase: no, because I can't use it most of the time due my itchy allergic skin.

Rating: 2.5/5
