The Commuter's closet

As someone who loves trying new personal care products, I recently came across the Mega C Body Wash. I had heard a lot of positive buzz about magnesium products for relaxation and sleep and was excited to incorporate it into my daily routine. While I have to admit, the scent of the body wash is absolutely amazing, my experience with it was a bit mixed. Let me walk you through my honest thoughts.

The Scent: A Major Highlight

First off, let me talk about the fragrance. Mega C Body Wash has a citrus-based scent that is incredibly refreshing. It’s bright, energizing, and leaves you feeling fresh long after your shower. I really enjoyed the smell, especially in the mornings when I need a boost. It’s not overpowering, but it’s just the right amount of scent to make the shower experience feel luxurious. If you love citrus notes, you’ll probably enjoy it as much as I did.

The Breakouts: A Surprise

As much as I loved the smell, I couldn’t ignore the fact that I started noticing some breakouts after using the body wash consistently for a week. I have sensitive skin and typically use a cream based body wash, particularly the Dove Purely Pampering Shea Butter Body Wash. However, struggling with sleeping due to restless leg syndrome led me to start trying some magnesium based skin products. Unlike my typical body wash, this one was more of a foaming gel which I think just may have been to much for my skin.

At first, I thought the breakouts were just a coincidence or that my skin was reacting to something else, but the breakouts didn’t seem to go away. Specifically, I got pimples on my shoulders and back.

For me, it appears that the formula, while hydrating and refreshing, might have been a little too strong for my skin. The pimples appeared in places I don’t typically get them, such as my back and shoulders, and while I don’t usually experience acne in those areas, it was clear that this body wash was the culprit. I wouldn’t say it’s guaranteed to cause breakouts for everyone, but if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, you might want to patch-test this product first.

Did It Improve My Sleep?

Another claim that caught my attention was the idea that Mega C Body Wash could help improve sleep. The idea of a product that could make me feel relaxed and aid in a restful night’s sleep sounded intriguing, especially with the calming properties often associated with citrus and other natural scents.

Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any improvement in my sleep quality after using this body wash. While the scent was lovely, it didn’t have any noticeable effect on how quickly I fell asleep or how well I slept through the night. I didn’t feel any additional relaxation or a sense of unwinding, which was a bit of a letdown.

The Verdict: A Mixed Experience

So, here’s my take on Mega C Body Wash: it’s a solid body wash with an amazing citrus scent that I really liked. If you’re someone who loves refreshing fragrances and doesn’t have sensitive skin, it’s definitely worth trying. However, if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, I would be cautious, as it may cause breakouts.

As for the claims about improved sleep, I didn’t find it made a significant difference in that department, so I wouldn’t rely on it for that benefit.

Overall, I think I’ll be giving this one a break, at least for a while, and looking for something more gentle on my skin. I’d still recommend it to others, but with the caveat that individual results may vary.
