Product reviews of Nivea For Men Energy Hair and Body Wash, 16.9-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 3)
Review: Your slightly better than average body wash
Beauty product: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Nivea For Men Energy Body Wash was a slight disappointment for me. I was expecting sometime extraordinary but what I got was a slightly above average body wash. The soap felt nice against my skin but I didn't receive any extra "energy" or a nice lasting fragrance. I smelled kind of mediciney afterwards. Overall, it is a different kind of wash to say the least. I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase something like this, but it's not that bad of a product. In other words, this kind of stuff isn't my cup of tea.
Recommended for men who purchase Nivea products.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Strongly scented soaps aren't new, the most-notorious likely being the original Lifebuoy. (When I first attended college 43 years ago, one of the guys in the dorm used it, and you could smell him down the hall. Are you reading this, GB?) Irish Spring is probably the most-successful of such soaps. It has an appealing "outdoorsy" odor that, at least the first few times you use it, gives a sense of invigoration.
Nivea seems to be aiming for the same effect. But Energy Body Wash fell short for me. The mint/menthol odor is mild, and not particularly exciting. (In fairness, I'm 61, and my sense of smell seems to be changing.) EBW did not provoke any "get up and go".
As for its cleaning abilities... The ingredients list suggests a variation on shampoo. EBW lathers well, but (compared to my usual Lever 2000) it doesn't rinse off quickly. In fact, repeated rinsing is often needed to remove all of it. EBW did not dry my skin (neither does Lever 2000), but neither did it seem to have any moisturizing effect.
The only advantage of EBW is that it's in a squeeze bottle. It can't turn to slop in a soap dish, and if you use just a few drops, it might actually be cheaper than bar soap (but don't hold me to that).
As Hamlet said, "Nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so." EBW is a neither good nor bad product, and whether or not you like it will be highly personal.
ADDENDUM: After using EBW another two weeks, I like it no more, and maybe a bit less. The aroma reminds me of lettuce (but that could be the decline of my sense of smell as I grow older). Worse, the stuff just doesn't rinse off quickly, unless you use a very small amount. And the bottle is slippery if your hands are lathered up. (Why isn't there a gripping surface?) There's nothing about EBW that would get me to switch from Lever 2000, which cleans at least as well, has almost no scent, and rinses off quickly.
Review: pump me up
Beauty product: 5 Stars
This great body wash for men seems to pump skin up from the cellular, invigorating and softening rough areas nicely after just a few showers. Provides a great feeling of cells being awakened, early in the day and after workouts or strenuous work and exercise.
