Nivea for Men Cool Body Wash with Menthol Review

Because of my dry skin, brought on in part by my diabetes my wife recently suggested that I try liquid gel soap because it is not as harsh on the skin as bar soap, even those infused with lotion and such.  So I took her advice and purchased Irish Spring Body Wash with Aloe.   But, I also purchased Nivea For Men Cool Body Wash as well, and I have to say I like it.    

Not only does Nivea For Men Cool Body Wash-made with icy menthol-smell good and lather up richly, but it also washes away cleanly leaving my skin looking natural and feeling clean and smooth.  However, although the marketing literature claims the soap contains "HydroBeads that instantly dissolve on your skin as you shower" thus helping your skin retain your skins natural moisture, there is a noticeable dryness on my skin after use.

Is it refreshing and invigorating?  Not really, but then again I do not look for that sort of stimulation in my body wash I just want it to clean and perhaps moisturize a tad.  I will keep Nivea For Men Cool Body Wash on my list.
