Kyoku Energizing Body Wash review

[thevoice]

Received a sample of this body wash with my last order from Fendrihan. Packaging looked attractive and when I tore the packet open in the shower, it had a great looking dark blue-green color and a great, almost overpowering scent. It lathered like crazy considering the small amounts used and I started washing. It took about ten seconds before I realized that my arms were tingling... A few seconds after, that sensation spread to pretty much every inch of skin I had lathered. I decided that I better rinse off, and quick. At that point, I could have sworn that I had doused my body in Gold Bond medicated powder, only stronger. The feeling went on for a couple hours and eventually disappeared. I had torn the packet open with my teeth and must have managed to get some on my lips, as they tingled like crazy as well, and the corner I tore the packet on actually went numb, like a Lidocaine spray at the dentist.

Gentlemen, let me give you this one piece of advice. Avoid this product or give it to someone you don't like.

I actually wanna try that stuff. I've heard decent things about it. They actually have four different varieties of body wash in the Kyoku range. Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire. I'm assuming you tried the Wind version as it has Eucalyptus which produces a tingling effect. Overall the scent was good though, right? I like my body washes to have a lot of lather. So that's a plus in my book.

There's tingling and tingling! Forgive me for being blunt, but I could have sworn I dipped my nads in Icy Hot! Like I said, the scent and lather were fantastic, but the tingling really has to be toned down a bit! Try to get a sample before you go all out!

Great analogy there lol. I would probably get the Water version anyways as I'm partial to citrus scents. But I will definitely request samples before I blow my load and order a full-size bottle.

Actually, now that I've checked out Kyoku's website, the sample I had was the Water version, with deep sea algae (I'm starting to think they harvested that right off the coast of the Fukushima reactor leak...). I should have looked that over last night, but procrastinated! The scent is more along the lines of a sea mineral type, reminiscent of a the Algemarin bubble bath (the dark blue stuff that stains everything it touches!), but more masculine, according to my wife. I'd love to hear about other people who might have tried it... Maybe my sample was off somehow?

I have a full bottle of this I picked up on a deal but I've not used it yet. I have the Wind version. Pretty sure I had the Water version as a sample a couple of weeks back but I definitely didn't get the sort of tingling described.
I'll try Wind tomorrow and report back. I love their face wash and the face scrub. Excellent prep for a shave for me.

I got it the wrong way round. I have a full bottle of the Water and my sample was Wind. Still not given it a go (forgot to take it into the shower today) but am interested to see if I get the full-on tingle blast that you got. Think I might avoid the nads though

I have some Dr Bronners Peppermint soap and it makes the body tingle as well. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It was 90 degrees yesterday, felt great to shower with some freezing soap!

I used the Water this morning. There was definitely some tingling going on but it only lasted for seconds/minutes. I was also surprised it didn't lather up more. I have really soft water and most shower gels burst into froth. This wasn't bad but I expected more after the OPs review. I'll give it a few more tries before I pass judgement but I was expecting it to be better.

This made me laugh quite a bit.
