  • pH balanced, low-irritant formulation, free from colour, fragrance, propylene glycol, and lanolin.
  • Suitable for use with conditions such as dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis.
  • Suitable for sensitive skin.

Diana Kerr, 36, Lives in St Kilda – Vic, Never used QV products before.

I’m a big fan of soap free body washes, try to never use soap on my skin as it dries out very quickly. I found the QV Gentle Wash to be one of the best on the market. I like it because it has no fragrance and is gentle, especially in winter, as my skin seems even dryer at this time due to heating. I like the texture very much and a little seems to go a long way. I tend to use my body washes when I am in the shower with a soft loofah, and it feels soothing. After using QV my skin felt smooth, not stripped of moisture which is great because I use less of my unfortunately very expensive moisturiser – my wallet thanks you!

Shannon Leary, 29, Lives in Boronia, New to QV Products

The gentle wash is really good – I have noticed my skin feeling smoother and more nourished since I have been using this (thanks!!!). It feels a little too heavy for on my face, my oily t-zone however so I haven’t used it every day for that particular reason. One thing I will say is that the packaging makes the product look very medicated and clinical – I think it is the shape of the bottle, could it be sleeker in shape, maybe even more feminine looking? Just a thought …..

That may be the reason why I appreciate to lookup for blogs. The responses are typically really authentic, we could all use a lot more enjoyable reading. Please go on like this, it can be worth.

    Nice . . keep it up

  • Josee says:

    I have been using QV gentle wash for 2yrs now and I can’t see myself using other products after using QV. I mainly use it for my feet as they tend to become very dry especially during summer. I will try the face wash as well now as I didn’t know about it.

  • Mandy Graham says:

    Feel great on skin.

  • Belinda Molloy says:

    We have been using the QV range for quite a while as a family as we have a daughter with moderate/severe eczema which is sensitive to soaps etc..
    The gentle wash is just that gentle.. its silky smooth to wash on and clean really well. Wash it off and skin feels beautifully clean without having to scrub it with soaps. Your left with soft, clean skin without any oily or sticky residue..

    the flip top lid makes for easy one handed open/closing (which is always a bonus) with little wiggley bodies in a bath.

  • karen oldland says:

    This wash is so gentle on my familys skin. I have a teenage daughter and her skin is glowing just after 3 days with QV gentle wash.

  • jo says:

    QV is great for my daughters sensitive skin!! no more rashes or flakey red skin!! Love the soap free wash!!

  • Elizabeth-anne says:

    I love the fact that this Product is not so “soapy” and full of chemicals, yet You feel so clean after using it !

  • Kate Hearps says:

    Thankyou very much! I have found something that finally my 2 boys can use on their skin. No rashes, no itching and definately NO DRY SCALEY SKIN! The ezcema has slowed down and yes they still have their bad days but no where near as bad as a couple of months ago. I will definately be buying more in the NEAR future!

  • vicki says:

    I have to say i was impressed with QV gentle wash it was smooth and not too slippery. it actually stopped my skin from the infernal itching and tingling that dry skin has a habit of doing. It is a simple container to use in the shower and as I have weak wrists I could get a good hold of it to squeeze. I love the smoothness of it and the way it leaves my skin soft and moisturised. Definatly a winner for people with allergies and very dry skin.

  • Tanja Hughes says:

    I love test driving such a fantastic product. It is amazingly smooth and fresh and my sensitive skin doesnt itch after using it. Do yourself a favour and stock up on QV Gentle wash. It’s great and will be on my shopping list regularly.

  • Lisa-May Holmes says:

    I “test drove” the QV Gentle Wash and I have to say I was very impressed. Being a sufferer of atopic eczema I am constantly trying to find products which don’t aggravate my skin. This gentle wash lathers up well, cleans the skin and doesn’t leave skin feeling tight or dry. It didn’t even aggravate areas where I had inflamed eczema. It was even gentle enough to use on my face, which is extremely sensitive to creams and cleaners. I would definitely recommend this product to people with sensitive, dry skin conditions like eczema.

  • Kate says:

    I absolutely loved this QV Gentle Wash. My 4 year old has extremely dry skin along with his ezcema. Now, his skin is soft and his ezcema is clearing up and is not so hard and cracked anymore.

  • brooke says:

    This wash is absolutely perfect for my 3 year old daughter, She has tendencies to get dry itch skin and after using this in her nightly bath i have seen a dramatic improvement.
    Thankyou QV-I will certainly be using this in our family

  • Amanda says:

    I have used QV products since my 5 year old son was a baby and started suffering excema. The QV Gentle Wash is by far the best QV wash you have made. It is easier to use, foams up better so a little goes a long way. It is very gentle yet cleans even the grubbiest 5 year old boy after a full days play outside and leaves both him and myself with very soft skin. I will start buying this product to use on him in place of his usual QV wash and the way it leaves his skin i will be surprised if he needs as much of the Flare Up Oil as he normally uses. Thanks QV for another great product.

  • vicki griffin says:

    I found QV gentle wash to be indulgent, the cream was smooth and the bottle was easy to use. I have weak wrists so it was a bonus to find a container I can hold in water and open. My skin was silky smooth after using qv and it wasn’t as irritated. No more red or flakey skin and I loved the way it felt on my skin no greasy after residue. This is a product I will continue to use. My skin has stopped itching and feels lovely and smooth. Thank you QV gentle was for an experience that was beyond what I thought could be possible.

  • Corinne Lee says:

    Found QV Gentle wash perfect to use when shaving my legs. Soft foamy lather makes shaving so easy and my legs feel soft and moisturised afterwards.

  • kellie carstairs says:

    well using qv wash had left my son who has eczema ichy free and it has also dulled in redness, thank you qv my son can sleep at night.

  • Karen Thom says:

    The QV Skin wash is absolutely a miracle product. Using it for the few three days cured the dry skin on my cheeks and I had tried nearly everything. For many years I was a practicing Beauty Therapist and I can confidently say that QV products are some of the absolute best. Not only are they soap free they are inexpensive and a little goes a long way.
    I have since replaced all the soaps in my house with the QV Gentle wash including the basin soaps too. My kids skin looks and feels great and no mare itchiness or rashes they had been suffering from the humidity here either. Thanks QV I just love it.

  • Julie-Ann Dawson says:

    QV gentle wash: Love it. Leaves skin soft and smooth. A tiny bit goes a long way. Have recommended it to my daughter as her son has eczema.Will let you know how that goes.

  • Tracy says:

    I enjoyed using the QV Gentle Wash and found it really did relieve my dry itchy skin. Just after a few days of use I was no longer scratching, my skin looked soft and moisturised. It lathers up beautifully and only a small quantity was required which surprised me. Fantastic product, hubby was surprised at how good my skin was looking that he has been using it as well. He finds it great as working outdoors his skin feels like leather, but since using the QV we both have seen a difference in his skins appearance and doesn’t feel as rough and tough .

  • yvonne w says:

    I loved QV on our skin, so gentle and a lovely clean feel after washing.
    I like the fact it is made without the harsh additives of soap.
    My son who has dermatitis, found it gentle and soothing.
    We will be using it from now on..

  • Claudia says:

    I have never used QV before but after testing this product, i have been converted. My 1 year old and I both used it, It was so gentle on my daughters skin, and left her feeling soft and clean. It was also safe to use on her face, and didnt burn ber eyes in any way. I used it in the shower, and was surprised how little i had to use. It left my skin feeling soft and miosturised. I also used it on my face to remove my make up, and was better than other expensive brand make up removers. This is a good product and is now a family favourite.

  • Kate Ireland says:

    I am a long time user of QV wash and have always found it to work well on mine and my daughters very very dry skin. She has allergies and can end up with red welts on her skin. Testing the Gentle Wash has been great. I found the texture to be alot richer and thicker than the QV Wash (refresh). It has left our skin feeling very smooth to the touch. My daughter loves to use it in the shower so I would definitely purchase the Gentle wash in a larger pump bottle. Well done on a great soap free product EGO.

  • Linda Emmett says:

    My husband suffers from skin irritations from soap so this was a great product for him to use. It lathers up the same as soap but without the nasty side affects. Great product that we will use again.

  • Nicole says:

    QV Body Wash Test Drive – I have been ‘test driving’ this product for the past few weeks and I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised.
    Not sure what my expection was – but I have to say I just love using this product. My skin feels fresh and smooth and not ‘tight’ like soaps can leave it.
    The packaging is easy to use and fits in with the QV branding. Love it – now your turn to try it!

  • Su RamMohan says:

    Baby soft skin!

    QV gentle wash is amazing! It has done great things to my dry skin. It cleanses very well, no soapiness, no residue and no irritation. Absolutely nourishing and my skin has never felt softer. I’m through my second bottle and will never never look back. Finally a product that is gentle and good for dry skin! Love QV <3

  • Lou says:

    QV Body Wash is gentle on the skin. It is different to other washes as it is SOAP FREE. This is a great product for people with sensitive skin. Great to use with young kids as well!

  • Isabel says:

    I used QV Gentle Wash for my daughter when she was a baby till 2 years of age with great success. Unfortunately I then started the ”bubble bath round about ” of cartoon character highly coloured sickly smelling bubble bath- What was I thinking???? Soon enough I was back on the QV – there really isn’t anything that is as good as this product- it leaves the skin soft and fresh without any irritation, and also heals previous skin afflictions such as rash or mild dermatitis.

    This really is a fantastic product and I’m always the first to recommend it when asked for bath tips from other mums.

  • Vicki says:

    I found QV Gentle wash to be quite smooth and indulgent. It was a pleasure to find a container that was easy to hold and use due to my weak wrists. I noticed immediately that my itchy, stingy skin was soothed. After further use my dry red flakey skin seemed to settle and still is not as irritated. The QV gentle wash went a long way only a small amount was needed which was good as the cost of similiar products do not last as long as QV or had such a positive effect on my skin. i have always suffered with sensitive skin and I believe QV could possibly eradicate my condition over prolonged use. Thank you.

  • Sonia says:

    My daughter suffers with dry skin – we have all found this product to be of the highest quality and has been great on her skin. We all really loved it and will keep using it
    Thanks

  • Lucie C says:

    Love QV Gentle Wash …lathered up beautifully, being fragrance free there is no overbearing scent s. My young son has a sensitive skin and I have tried several products and I am really happy with Love QV Gentle Wash… the perfect product for my whole family !!

  • Lucie C says:

    Loved QV Gentle Wash scent free and lathered beautifully. Left my hands feeling great.
    It is perfect for my whole family especially my little son who has sensitive skin. Another great product from QV !!

  • I loved using qv gentlewash. I’m hooked, it is gentle and I can use it again again and my hands don’t feel dry i now have it sitting on the kitchen sink. as my washers are finishing around the house I am replacing them with qv gentle wash. thank you.

  • Anne Olsen says:

    I had not tried QV wash before, but now I’m hooked. Really liked the convient sized bottle, very easy to manage and it lathered well just using a small amount. But best of all it made my skin feel so soft and smooth after using it. My daughter loved it too as she like the way her skin felt, sooooo soft. As a nurse my hands are constantly being washed, more so out of habbit, and I have really noticed the difference after using QV, they are no where near as dry and cracked as they used to be. Definitely will continue using it, great product.

  • Melita says:

    Gorgeous product! My skin was left feeling clean and soothed. I thought I was going to miss the aroma of my scented products but instead enjoyed the freshness of the QV. Love it!!

  • Chantelle says:

    QV is by far the best wash for those with sensitive skin. My toddler suffers from eczema and I actually liked that this product has a few bubbles, because he always wants a bubble bath and of course can’t use any of those products. Being a QV product I fully trust that those bubbles are not caused by the usual irritating bubble causing chemicals, and made bathtime more fun for my little one.

  • Sheree says:

    The QV Gentle Wash comes in an easy to open bottle. I used it in the shower to wash my face and body. There was no harsh fragrance. The wash was lovely and creamy and easy to apply. It washes away quickly with running water and doesn’t leave a residue. After getting out of the shower I felt clean and fresh.
    This product could be used for anybody, including children and the elderly because it can be used for sensitive skins. I would use this product again and I’d also recommend it to anyone.

  • QV wash is a winner in our household. My 2 children, husband & myself are unable to use any form of soap product on our skin. The soap & fragrance free QV body wash is a welcome relief to the irritating imitation brands which continue to cause discomfort and rashes. QV is a must on our regular shopping trip from here on in.

  • Michelle says:

    Thankyou for the opportunity to try QV Gentle Wash – I was very impressed with it. I have been experiencing some problems with my soap wash and the problem did not occur with QV Gentle Wash. There is no fake sweet smell to it, goes on nicely and my skin feels clean and soft.

  • Erin Watson says:

    I absolutely love this product, after having my second child that suffers from heat rash and eczema, this is the only product I choose to help with the redness.

  • slapplepie says:

    I put it in as I fill the bath for my little ones and know their sensitive skin and delicate areas will not become irritated. Also I found it gentle for their faces and hair…all in one cleaning experience.

  • jane gardam says:

    I used this product with my daughter who suffers from quite bad ezcema at times. I found it lovely and gentle and it didn’t irritate or inflame her ezcema at all. I will definitely be using Qv gentle wash regularly on all our family.

  • Ellen says:

    As a psoriasis patient I have us almost all QV product for my skin treatment and I’m happy with the result but too bad I can”t buy here in Jakarta and at least I have go to Singapore to get it and unfortunetly I only can buy some commont QV product there I can’t get like QV flare p series and QV Intensive Moisturizer cream, QV Gentle re-hydrates and some others I need.

  • Joanna Harrison says:

    I have allergies to a lot of perfumes and so mostly use scent free soaps/washes making QV products perfect for me.

    I’ve loved using QV Gentle Wash; it’s lathered up really well which is surprising for a product that’s soap free. I’ve also been impressed by how soft it feels on my skin unlike some other products I’ve used in the past. And when I’ve applied the product to a wash cloth it hasn’t just evaporated into the cloth, a small amount goes a long way.

    I’ll definitely be using this product in the future!
