Olay Body Wash Plus Body Butter Ribbons 10 oz — 

I have the driest skin of anyone I know, and almost all body washes/soaps that claim to moisturize my skin just leave it dry and flaky and worse off than it was before I washed with it. I guess I could say I have sensitive skin, too. But I've been using the Olay Body Butter Ribbons wash for nearly a year now, and can say for certain that it's the best moisturizing soap I've ever used (and I've tried a LOT). It's not as expensive as other brands that claim to give moisture back to your skin, and I know for a fact this product is available at wholesale stores where you can get two 10 oz. bottles for something like $8.99. That's pretty good!! And since the soap is so thick, you don't have to use a whole lot in the shower, so it lasts longer and you end up buying it not that often.

However, I can understand why some people would be grossed out by this product because it does have a lot of moisturizers and almond oil in it. I would recommend it ONLY for people with severely, extremely dry skin, such as myself. Even I only tend to use it in the cold, dry winter months. It's a bit too heavy for the summer season when your skin retains a lot more of its own moisture and it's humid out. If you have normal skin, don't use this product. It doesn't rinse off well because its purpose is to leave a thin layer of moisturizer on so that you don't have to use a separate one when you get out of the shower. So, I'd say this soap saves a lot of time and money... I can't complain!

I've tried the pink version of the ribbons formula. It does a good job with moisture too! I find it is a bit slimy though. Nice first review! Karen
