Dial Hydrating Body Wash Full Force 18 fl oz For Men Review

Body washes are a product I have reluctantly accepted as a cleaner alternative to traditional soap. I'm an open minded person and I'm not necessarily a creature of habit who insists on using his bar of soap. My greatest problem with body wash is the scent. Most of them are either neutral or they have a distinctly feminine smell. But fortunately, there are some body wash products made with men in mind that offer a more masculine aroma. One of them is Dial for Men Hydrating Body Wash, a cleansing product for bath or shower.
 
Body Wash Commentary:

As mentioned before, I have never been a huge fan of body washes because of the feminine scent that almost all of them have. It isn't surprising that companies make body wash in this manner. The female market is, after all, the largest buyer of body wash products so it makes perfect sense to follow the money and manufacturer products that women like best. But even though the male market is smaller there is still a need for body wash that caters to men and Dial (and a few other companies) has wisely responded to this need by producing body wash products made for this segment of the population.

The most memorable quality of this body wash is the scent. It smells nothing like a traditional Dial product so don't buy it expecting that familiar Dial soap scent. This body wash smells exactly like aftershave and the smell is quite noticeable. Even long after you leave the shower, the scent is still there. It isn't as pungent as actual aftershave but people around you will notice the scent.

One other interesting thing about Dial for Men Hydrating Body Wash is that it doesn't produce a great amount of lather. This could tempt some consumers to apply more liquid in order to work up a good lather but I would advise to resist the temptation. Trust me when I say that the smell of aftershave is already strong enough with a small amount of liquid. You won't get any cleaner with more lather and the scent could become overbearing. A small dab is all you need.

This body wash product rinses squeaky clean and it doesn't dry the skin. But because it smells like aftershave, I think it's safe to say that this is exclusively a men- only body wash product. Women would likely find everything about it acceptable until they get to the scent. It is 100 percent masculine and it would not smell right on anyone but a man.

Bottom Line:

There are no moisturizing beads or any other feminizing qualities with Dial for Men Hydrating Body Wash. It is a masculine product all the way and it has restored my faith in the body wash industry. Most body wash products on the market contain softer scents like fruit and flowers but do I really want my body to smell like a mango covered in rose petals? I think not, and it's nice to know that a company like Dial was smart enough to create a body wash made with men in mind.
