Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash, Fragrance-Free, 33 fl. oz

Sensitive skin rarely needs a stronger cleanser; it usually needs a milder one. This body wash is built that way: the listing calls it soap-free, fragrance-free and dye-free, and the maker adds oat flour, oat oil and oat extract to a gel that is meant to be worked into a light lather by hand or on a soft washcloth, then rinsed off thoroughly.

The feature set makes it a practical everyday choice for a shower or a pre-bath rinse when perfumed washes leave skin feeling tight. The 33 fl oz (975 ml) pump bottle is the value size – tall, heavy and long-lasting – and the maker also suggests it as a shaving wash for legs.

Tip: One pump is enough for the whole body. Use it on the parts that need washing – underarms, feet, the skin under clothes – and let plain warm water do the rest; dry shins rarely need soap at all.
