My darling boyfriend of three years bought me this product for Christmas. It came with a face and body moisturizer and a 'puff' (the best use I have found for the puff is when sponging paint on the wall - but that is a different op!).

I was a little disgruntled to say the least. I am on the wrong side of 40, and the bottle says 40+ - bl** cheek! He thinks I am old!! (he is a little bit younger than me, but tends to think he is atleast ten years younger) But I digress.

So, I smiled sweetly and was overjoyed at the present. My kids however then laughed at his bravery on buying a wrinkly product for me (how they view Oil of Olay products) and waited for the storm. I remained overjoyed and proceeded to have a shower.

It smelt gorgeous, a little bit like a strong baby powder. I only needed to use a 'little dab' like the instructions said and the lather was enough for the whole of me. I am not a huge person, but there was definitely enough to froth over another body too (if I was so inclined).

It says that it is PH balanced (I haven't tried with the litmus yet) and also Dermatologically tested. I have a slight hiccup here. I am very allergic to scented products. I would normally use Simple or Sainsbury Pure.

The Moisterising Body Wash is ok, but I am a little sensitive, and have found myself wishing I was Baloo out of the Jungle Book, rubbing my back up and down a tree. The office chair has to suffice at this point (amidst strange looks).

On the whole though, I think it is a great wash. Better than the E45 Body Wash - what is that about, strange creamy stuff with no lather? Must write an op on that one. I am only using for special occasions when I am just going out and can itch for the evening. I would not be able to continue to use it daily though.

I do recommend it for anyone who does not have a particularly sensitive skin. Now, where is my tree?
