This product in a nutshell: just doesn't knock my socks off.  My bathing ritual is a very important part of my day and I want a body wash to do 2 things: 1) Smell awesome on ME, not just in the bottle and 2) pamper my skin while making me feel super clean and refreshed.  Neutrogena Ranbath Refreshing Shower and Bath Gel is just an average body wash to me!

I have to hand it to Neutrogena...On a cold whiff, Rainbath smells ridiculously amazing!  The scent is exotic, spicy and intoxicating...the type of smell that made me want to run and take a shower ASAP.  I squeezed 3 pumps into my wet body pouf and lathered up.  This bath gel works up into a good lather and made me so happy as the smell exploded into the steamy air, but falls short when I use it as a bubble bath.  It barely bubbles when I pour it into the running water!  Though this product rinses clean without a hint of residue, I barely smell it on me.  With such a strong aromatic presence in the bottle, I thought for sure the translation to my skin would be more noticeable, but no!  What a dissapointment!

My skin certainly doesn't feel dirty at all when I use this product, though I do not feel refreshingly clean like I do when I use other body washes from Dial or my weakness: Bath & Body Works.  Plus, this stuff is pretty expensive for a drug store product.  Some claim this product works well as a shaving gel for legs, but I still had razor bumps.  All in all, this was just an average product for me!

I give this product 3/5 stars because: it's just OK.  I really wanted to love it more because it smells fabulous.  I just wanted it to smell fabulous on ME!
