Greetings to all IMBBians!!
I don’t use a soap bar for my daily bathing needs and every week or two I buy a new body wash with a different fragrance, just to keep things interesting. The body wash in this review is my recent purchase and although I have had better experience in the past, I still thought that this product deserved a review.
Keep reading further to know why I love this body wash.
Price: $2.98

My Take on Suave Essentials Amethyst Sunset Body Wash:
I have used regular body washes like the one by Dove or VOS and I have used more luxurious ones by Victoria’s Secret, Bath and Body Works and so on but I don’t have a personal favorite and I keep changing brands in this regard. However, I did like the product reviewed in this post and am contemplating purchasing another bottle once I run out of this one. This product is one such buy to try out a new product and fragrance.
Packaging: The product comes in a big squeeze bottle with a flip cap on top and it is super easy to dispense product from the bottle on my loofah. The bottle is translucent and shows the color and amount of product in the bottle.
Consistency: Since it is a moisturizing body wash, it has a thick lotion like consistency and a small quantity is enough for one shower session if used with a good loofah.
Fragrance: I like the smell but not a crazy fan – it has soft floral fragrance and has nothing proprietary about it. However, it was still a good experience because it had subtle fragrance, gave generous amount of lather and did not dry out my skin.
Efficacy: A small dollop on a wet loofah is enough for one shower session. I rub my loofah all over body and massage for good few minutes with extra concentration on areas that I shave since they need extra exfoliation. When not in rush I use a body brush to remove ingrown hair and also to get rid of cellulite in the upper thigh region. It gives a generous amount of lather, to the point that if at times I don’t have time to use a shave cream or body oil to shave I just use this body wash to shave off my legs and when used under hot shower it makes the entire process smooth and easy.
Conclusion: It is a good and affordable body wash which would do well in our shower caddy. However, the claim that it contains exotic flowers, berries and fruits or that it imparts silk like smoothness to the skin sounds a bit exaggerated but then again all brands hype up their products to grab consumer’s attention and hence I have no qualms about Suave doing so.
Pros of Suave Essentials Amethyst Sunset Body Wash:
• Packaging – curvaceous, squeeze bottle.
• Small quantity goes a long way.

Cons of Suave Essentials Amethyst Sunset Body Wash:

IMBB Rating: 4/5
Would I Repurchase Suave Essentials Amethyst Sunset Body Wash?
Usually I don’t repeat my body washes and I, most likely, will stick to that notion with this too because like I mentioned above, there is nothing unique about this product; however all those who like to try out new body washes every now and then should try this Suave body wash.
