No longer worth buying – I had used this product for over 10 years on the advice of a GP as a low irritant soap alternative, but I can no longer recommend it. As a long term customer, I can advise that this product has now been significantly watered/thinned down and it runs between my fingers before I can even apply it to my skin. The product quality has gone from high to low and I've stopped using it.

GOD SEND – This wash has cured me of my dry and hydrated skin!! I was using loads of different lotions and potions on my skin after my shower but didn't think to change my soap until someone recommended QV. Since using this my skin has changed so much, I normally have dry, flakey and irritated skin but now I hardly even feel the need to put moisturiser on!!… Read more

I would recommend using a sponge in the shower to help lather it up then it will last ages. Couldn't reccomend this product enough to all my fellow dry skin sufferers!

Had skin rashes! – I thought this would help my eczema but worsen it instead. I used it on my face and my eyelids got suddenly sore and red. I stopped using it and the rash went away. I used it again after several days to confirm if I was really allergic to rash and found out that yeah it irritates my eye everytime I use it. I made my research and this product contains STYLENE and this chemical may cause eye irritation. Show details

Causes skin irritation – I really wanted to like this product because QV is a good brand but this wash made the skin on my groin feel like it was burning (as if there was a menthol or something in it) and with a week of use my skin was damaged leading to a fungal infection that took weeks to get rid of. It also gave a type of dandruff on my face and scalp. I do not… Read more

understand why a manufacturer of products targeted at people with sensitive skin would apparently use an ingredient that causes these problems.

Immediately gave rashes to my LOs – Immediately gave rashes to my LOs after first day of bath using QA. Although it depends from person to person, doesn't recommend as we've seen bad reaction for our both LOs. Show details

Best skin wash on the market – I have not been able to use soaps on my skin exposed to the sun for decades due to a medical condition. QV Body Wash is the best soap alternative on the market. Both QV and Cetaphil make a gentle wash lotion that is for people with extremely bad skin, but I found them both to be too weak. The QV wash lotion is almost as good as soap and does the… Read more

job. Best to pump the lotion onto a small wash cloth and spread it around a bit to 'soap' up, and then use the cloth - otherwise it uses up too quickly if you only use hands.

Life changing for those with sensitive skin – I had extremely severe atopic dermatitis and all sorts of ongoing skin conditions. After trying SO many products and having nothing work, a dermatologist recommended the QV range for my body. After a week of using only QV products to wash and moisturise my body, my skin issues had disappeared! Can not recommend enough!! Very hydrating and nice and thick to massage in. Show details

Love this stuff – I always buy this as it’s gentle enough to use with my little niece and doesn’t dry out my skin. I find I get some lumps on my skin (i.e. chicken skin - not the scientific term) when I use body wash with fragrances.

awful – This shower gel smell very bad, it is the worst soap free shower gel I have ever tried. I feel bad and dirty after using it, please don't buy it you will loose your money (because it's expensive) and your skin will stink.

Outstanding product for the times – Since using this product my skin irritations have disappeared, irritations that have been with me for a number of years. It certainly is a great relief and my lifestyle has benefited accordingly.

Watered down – Watery. Takes several more pumps to wash than other washes. Minimum of thirty words so now I'm just filling up the box with superfluous words in order to post this.

Crap – Dries out your skin so bad, Cetaphil leaves this crappy product for dead. Avoid this product, you are better off using bar soap as it leaves your skin less dry.

Ego No soap - no rashes, no blemishes – I've been using this product since it was suggested to help my bumps & lumps & broken skin ... This amazing 'Ego no soap' is truly the answer to my skin problems and there's & added bonus of huge cut prices on the larger containers. Try it, you'll be so glad you did. Suz - Pialba

Water gets into the container in the shower – We use this in our shower and we like it. However, we notice that the pump mechanism allows (splashed) water to get into the container. This gradually dilutes the soap until - at the end - it's mostly water and not very nice.

Pump not working – The pump on the last 2 large bottles do not work, i find the wash is excellent and my skin feels 100% better using QV wash.

Love this! – I developed a facial skin irritation and consulted a chemist to help solve the problem. I advised that I used soap and water to wash my face. The chemist basically freaked out and then recommended QV. I've been using it for about two weeks and my skin is amazing; no tightness, breakouts or itchiness. QV almost renders moisturising as optional. Highly recommended.

extra good – I sometimes buy and use qv wash when I can afford it / I found it to be the second best wash on the market as it works very well and it lathers up quite well compared to the cheaper washes / I would highly recommend it to anyone who has.skin problems similar to me such as dermatitis

What would I do without this!!! – I am 21, have had major skin allergies (something in most cosmetics that dermatologists can not pin down, yes I have been to many) and dry skin all my life. I used this when i was young then in my late teens switched to expensive soaps and shower gels (mainly for a scent) and found my skin problems came back again regardless of which products… Read more

I used so i switched back and can say my skin is so much better (I also you the QV moisturizer after every shower)

It also removes all my makeup (including my waterproof mascara)

for the people complaining about about the scent, duhhh its a soap-free cleanser made for dry or sensitive skin and people with allergies, they are free from fragrance and colour addatives

[url link removed]

It has a slight watery consistency as one of its ingredients is actually water....

[url link removed]

For people concerned about SLS opt for the Gentle wash (I have used both and I feel the normal wash is better but I would say it is because it contains SLS)

not sure what SLS;

AND most of you are probably using household/cosmetic products that contain SLS;

Watery products – Keep your eye on the quality . Good product but last week I bought two bottles of the wash one was the creamy consistency the other watery ...very watery . I also work in aged care in the community where some clients use this , I had noticed at times the product was watery but put it down to the client watering it down to save money however… Read more

yesterday I went to a client who uses the moisturiser and he had a brand new bottle with the consistency of water . Bit of a concern that the company is putting out batches that seem to have been watered down .

I phoned the customer service line who said they will look into it but to be honest they assistant I spoke to didnt seem to concerned . I said it should be a red flag as I have now come across it several times but had assumed it was the client until I bought one myself with the watery consistency. Good product but I'm not sure I will continue to use or recommend to clients as for the money there are other just as good products out there .

Also careful with the moisturiser I do like the product but it gave one client a large rash on her chin,neck cheek the day after I used it on her face .great for legs though. Mild Inconsistent batches . Can cause a rash.

I can't believe this is promoted for sensitive skin – This wash was recommended to me for my daughter by the pharmacist because of her milk dots and reflux rash. I used this in addition to the qv moisturiser. As soon as I started using it she became red, it dried her skin out and irritated it. I switched to Curash and have no problems. Irritated my daughter's skin.

Excellent – It is easy to use and doesn't make my skin feel itchy, especially when I use it in the bath before bed. I like that its soap free. It feels very creamy on my skin and doesn't leave my face and body feeling dry afterwards. My skin feels softer and more moisturised now that I use it regularly. I also like that you only have to use a small amount.… Read more

This make it value for money. Its gentle on my skin and non irritating. Its easy to find at my local chemist. We all use it in my household.

Good – This is a great product my dermotologist put me on to! It has made a different in keeping my skin hydrated. It you find the right chemist it is not too expensive. It also lasts quite a while. This works well and I am happy to recommend this to my friends. When you get to the end of the pump container you need to take the lid off and bang out the… Read more

last of the wash...but I guess that is true of alot of products. Plus I think it's the reason I get a weird residue on the bath/shower that is a pain to get off.

So good we keep a pump pack in the shower – Our family skin type ranges from dry to very allergic to most things. This is our choice of wash. We have a pump pack in the shower and we all use this. We have no soap in the bathroom now. We have added soap free hair products to our collection. It actually does what it claims. Quite wxpwnsive so look for it on sale

Excellent – I love this cleanser. As it is quite pricey, I actually dilute it slightly. I wait till i have used about 20% of the procuct, then top up with water. Its still rich, and makes a great lather. This a very gentle cleanser that does not irritate your skin. I have eczema on my hands and my skin is quite dry and this product does not irritate my skin… Read more

or cause flare ups. It is quite pricey, but the large pump action containers do go a long way and last a long time. The pump action dispenser means you don't use too much of the product.

Rebuild your skin – First time i got this soap was when i got burnt on my feet. I used to use a normal Lux or any other nice smell soap. But it was too painful when i was got burnt. So i went to the chemist and ask about some soap that is safe for a wound like that. The lady gave to me a sample of a gentle wash QV, she goes to me, try it and if you like it then get… Read more

an actual size of this product. I tried it, and i love it straight away.

I used to have an itchy and extremely dry skin, but after using this product it is so much better. I got all QV product literally from head to toe. That is how much i love the formula It is soap free which is good for sensitive skin, fragrance free, and moisturize your skin completely

My Favourite Soap – I've been using the liquid QV wash in the pump pack for the last 4 months. My skin is uber sensitive to most scented soaps, so I need to be extra careful what I use. If you have sensitive skin that breaks out in rashes or dries up like a prune after washing with normal soaps, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Ok QV wash doesn't have… Read more

the fancy scent and it's not bright and colourful, but it definately leaves you feeling clean and moisturised after a shower. I especially use it on my face. Normal soap makes my face feel as though it's going to peel right off after washing. This stuff is ultra gentle. It's a little pricey, but does last a long time. 10/10 QV. Beautiful product! Moisturising, Gentle, Perfume Free, Colour Free, Pump Pack A little pricey

This is the best product QV Wash for me!! – My skin was in very bad condition before like what too many skin doctors told me that I have a psoriasis and no medicine that help me to cure it..its been too many years that I felt so depressed about it but finally last year I went to another skin specialist and she told me to use QV Wash, and so I did and since then I noticed that my skin… Read more ·  2

started to get clear and get smooth, no more dryness and itchiness..for the first time my skin gets more smoother and clearer,and I can now wear shorts and skirts, I am very thankful to my dermatologist and to QV Wash now I feel more confident very happy because my skin problem is gone...

Good – Great product that I have used on myself and my children. I have actually used it to make my own baby wipes and it worked well. However I am more likely to use a cheaper brand as I find it over priced but this would be the only down side to it. Does what it says it will do. Does not irritate the skin and is fragrance free. It is expensive and I have actually found a chemist brand that I have switched to due to the cost.

Excellent – I would recommend this product for adults or children from normal to problem skin. There are different types to suit different needs. It may seem a bit exxy but often goes on sale and really isn't too much when you consider the size of the pack. I wish they would stock it in Coles/woolworths though. Fantastic in the bath for kids. My daughter… Read more

had that terrible newborn skin (which lasted for ages) and the QV was the only thing to clear it up! I still use it with her and it keeps her skin clean and fresh Can't buy it in supermarkets

Good – Our baby suffered from eczema almost from birth. It was treated once with cream from the doctor but would come back slightly every now and then. We tried everything that was reasonable and then we found QV. I am yet to find a spot of eczema on our baby after finding this product. Looks like we will be using it for a while! Great to eczema, babies, leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed Very expensive
