Alright, so I grabbed this Target Up and Up Body Wash last Tuesday. Was sprinting through Target getting diapers and saw it sitting there real cheap. Like, under 4 bucks cheap. Figured, “Eh, why not try it? Can’t hurt.”
First Squeeze & Feel
Came home, ripped the cap open – it’s that flip-top kinda thing. Pushed down the pump, and whoosh, this sucker came out thick. Like, honey-thick. Didn’t even need much. Slapped it on my wet skin and rubbed… felt slippery right away. Not that watery junk that disappears. This stuff stuck around.
Took a bit of scrubbing to get a real lather going. Not instant foam, you know? Had to work it a few seconds. But once it started bubbling? Oooh yeah. Thick, creamy suds. Legit felt like I was washing off a layer of grime.
Smell Situation & Post-Shower Vibes
Okay, scent. I grabbed the “Refreshing” one. Smelled… fine. Kinda generic? Like, clean laundry with a lemon hint. Not overpowering, which I actually liked. Didn’t choke me out. Rinsed off smooth, too. No weird sticky film leftover. Skin felt… honestly, pretty dang soft. Like, no lotion needed soft. That shocked me for the price. Didn’t feel tight or dried out either.
Week Later Check-In & Tips
Used it all week. Every day after workouts. Here’s the real talk:
- Pro: Skin stayed soft. No rashes or itchiness.
- Con: Pump clogged up around day 5. Annoying. Had to take it apart and rinse it. Worked fine after, though.
- Tip: Just need a quarter-sized dollop. Seriously. Don’t overdo it.
- Tip: Scrub with your hand first. It’ll lather way better than a poof thing.
By day 7, I was kinda impressed. Ain’t gonna smell fancy like those $20 bottles, but it cleans. Real good. Skin felt happy, wallet wasn’t crying.
Final Results
Bottom line? If you want cheap and functional, this is a win. Feels cheap? Yeah, the bottle’s basic. But the wash itself? Does the dang job. Moisturized enough for my dry-ish skin. No breakouts.
Honestly? Keeping it around as my backup jug. Works fine. And for $4? Can’t really complain.
