Olay Body Wash ($5.29) was a staple of my college dorm bathroom in the Winter, when no amount of lotion could keep the indoor heat from drying my skin out. I haven't used it in a couple years now that I live in more temperate climes, but the most recent version incorporates body butter, and it sounds just as good as the original. Reader hippiecowgirl wrote a nice review of it, so I'll let her take it from here:
"It's really creamy and moisturizing. I used it as a body cleanser and a shaving cream at the same time. My skin felt fresh, and I got a close shave, so it definitely serves both purposes well. The only thing I didn't care for was the perfumey scent. I plan to purchase this again in the winter when my skin is extra dry."

I too love Oil Of Olay's body washes - you feel so clean and soft.
1My roommate uses this and loves it, but I'm afraid to try it. I have acne prone skin and I've always steered clear of soaps and body washes with "butters" or creams because they could make me break out. Has anyone had problems with breakouts while using this?
2All of the creamy olay washes leave kind of a film on me, and they are really perfumed. I'd skip it if you have acne, there are some moisturizing body washes that aren't creamy.
3St. Ives has a great Vitamin E body wash that has never adversely affected my skin.
4i LOVE this stuff. my skin is so dry and it is the only thing that actually makes it soft and smooth AFTER the shower. i haven't had any breakout issues, but i don't in general so i might not be the best to testify on that. definitely no film left behind, though.
5I like this stuff too, especially in winter. A little too heavy for me for the summertime but otherwise great!
