Caress Body Wash, Tahitian Renewal Review


When I was shopping at Target this weekend I came across a deal on Caress body wash products. They had two of the Caress Tahitian Renewal Body wash and one Caress Brazilian body wash combo for $9. I had been using Caress Moroccan body wash for a while now and I decided to try the Tahitian body wash.

I was mainly tempted to try this product solely because of its pomegranate content. Its cool that this body wash is both moisturizing and exfoliating as well.

Now my take on this body wash: Despite being an exfoliating body wash it does lather well and doesn't seem to strip the moisture from the skin completely. It does exfoliate the skin mildly but that wouldn't be enough to completely ignore your regular exfoliation procedure. It did make my skin softer and my skin felt great all day. Overall my skin definitely felt soft and supple. Infact, I really liked it better than the Caress Moroccan body wash. This one did really smell great, it was a very refreshing smell and it smelt mostly that of pomegranate.

If you are looking at a mostly balanced body wash this might work for you, but if you are keen on deep exfoliation and stuff then this is not the one, some microdermabrasion creams might be the way to go. Also to note, if your skin tends to be dry then this body wash might not work for you.

I'm not going to list out all the ingredients here, but all I would say is that the pomegranate and coconut fragrance seem the most dominant and you can feel the ground pomegranate seeds. As a finishing note, I should say that this body wash does do what it promises to do and that is exfoliate and moisturize at the same time (ofcourse the extent of moisturizing or exfoliation is just not good enough to replace your existing exfoliant or moisturizer).
