Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash AND Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash Product Reviews

NEW Dial Baby Body + Hair Wash AND Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash!



For 67 years, the Dial brand has been developing trusted personal care products for clean, healthy skin. Dial is excited to announce its entry into the babies' personal care with Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash developed with pediatric dermatologists for babies' perfect skin. It gently removes environmental dirt for a head to toe clean.

Also introducing Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash. It was also developed with pediatric dermatologists and makes hand washing fun for all ages! The formula is gentle on hands and kids' skin, helping parents make smart decisions when it comes to kids' perfect skin.

BOTH of these Dial products are:

-Developed with pediatric dermatologists
-Hypoallergenic
-No added parabens
-No artificial dyes
-pH balanced


I was sent a bottle of both the Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash AND Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash to try at home. I'll start with the foaming hand soap since that was my favorite. :) The scent was called Watery Melon and was REALLY melony without being overly strong or sickening sweet. It had a nice lather that was easy to spread over your hands while washing. The creamy lather did a great job of cleaning and left a nice sweet fragrance on your skin. The pump is easy to use for hands of all sizes. The packaging is brightly colored and appealing to kids so they might be more motivated to wash since it is a product made just for them. :)

The Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash is tear free and hypoallergenic so you don't have to worry about any skin irritations or stingy eyes! Why ruin bath time with a product that stings your eyes?! The thing that I liked most about this product was that it lathered quickly & easily and rinsed thoroughly. There wasn't any slimy residue left on the skin. I honestly didn't notice ANY fragrance whatsoever so I would say with absolute confidence that this product would be appropriate for even the most sensitive skin. If you have little ones that love bath time, give this product a try. My sister-in-law who has THE most sensitive skin I have ever seen is interested in trying it for herself. She can only use unscented products so I told her about this one. :) The Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash is great for anyone so even if you don't have any kids and love trying out fun products & fragrances, give it a try. My husband is a grown man (well, most of the time anyways) ;) and he actually LOVED the fragrance, LOL!

As for where to purchase these products, I know you can get them both at Walmart. I already saw the Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash there. It was a bit difficult to find as I expected it to be with the adult body washes. There used to a be a section near there with baby/kid friendly products but not anymore. The section has now moved over to the cosmetics section. They have an aisle full of sunscreens and kid-friendly soaps, bubble baths, etc. I know all stores are different but I wanted to give a heads up in case you were having difficulties finding it! :)

Purex Crystals ScentSplash In-Wash Fragrance Booster Product Review

INFUSE YOUR CLOTHES WITH THE POWER OF LIQUID FRESHNESS!!!



NEW Purex Crystals ScentSplash In-Wash Fragrance Booster infuses your clothes with the power of liquid freshness. Simply add a little or a lot directly into your washer. Easy peasy! Infuse your clothes with fragrance for a blast of long-lasting freshness that no one can resist.

Try all 3 invigorating fragrances that give your laundry an incredible just-washed freshness that lasts for MONTHS!

-Fresh Spring Waters - Wade into cool, enchanting waters
-Fresh Lavender Blossom - Wander through colorful, sun-lit fields of lavender
-Fresh Mountain Breeze - Capture the exhilarating moment of a crisp, fresh breeze

I LOVE in-wash scent boosters and Purex makes THE BEST ONES, in my opinion! I have been using the solid crystal versions for months now so I was SUPER excited to try the liquid version. I had a feeling that the scent would last even longer on my laundry so I wanted to see if I was right. :) Adding it to the laundry was super easy - just like adding in liquid detergent or fabric softener. I loved that I could easily adjust the amount of liquid depending on how much fragrance I wanted left on my laundry. I will admit, I am not a big fan of lavender which is what I was sent to try. Floral fragrances just aren't my thing as I tend to go more for fruity and/or fresh scents. The scent is VERY strong which I really like. (maybe not so much with this specific fragrance since it is lavender BUT I know I will appreciate it when I buy either of the other 2 fragrances, LOL) Right out of the bottle, the scent is powerful and noticeable. I couldn't wait to see what my laundry smelled like after washing and drying! I could smell the lavender while the laundry was washing and when I took it out of the washer, WOW! The fragrance was still there, strong as can be! (a good thing, in my opinion!) Even after drying and putting the clothes away, the lavender fragrance lingered for several days. I know it says that the freshness lasts for months but I didn't notice it as much after awhile. Maybe that is just my nose getting used to it?? :) Either way, I would definitely try this product in another fragrance. The next time I go to Walmart, I'm going to see if they have the Fresh Spring Waters fragrance in stock because I really want to try that one. Then I won't have to listen to my husband complain that his clothes smell too girly!!! LOL

I haven't looked for this product in the stores yet but it is supposed to be available this month so I would probably start with Walmart as that is typically where I find all the latest Purex products first.

Dial Miracle Oil Hand Soap Product Review

Dial Miracle Oil Hand Soap Infused with Marula Oil - featuring the first formula with Micro Oil Technology!



NEW Dial Miracle Oil Hand Soap brings nourishment and skin hydration to your hand washing experience. Let the smooth feel of Miracle Oil gently remove dirt from your hands and leave them feeling smooth and refreshed.

What exactly is Miracle Oil? Miracle Oil is infused with Marula Oil and uses Micro Oil technology to nourish and deeply hydrate your skin while protecting it from skin damaging free radicals.

I tried the Dial Miracle Oil body wash so I kind of knew what to expect in the way of scent. I was just as impressed with the hand soap as I was the body wash! The fragrance is WONDERFUL! It is exotic and sweet smelling, almost like a vanilla but not at all sickening sweet. I love that the fragrance is long lasting and I get occasional wafts of it throughout the day. (one thing I tend to look for when selecting hand soaps) The lather was plentiful and rich. I was able to get a nice, creamy lather going which rinsed completely & easily. One thing I normally don't like about super moisturizing hand soaps is that they don't rinse clean and leave my hands feeling coated or slimy. That definitely isn't the case with the Dial Miracle Oil hand soap! It rinsed clean and left my hands smooth & silky WITHOUT leftover residue. YAY! Even my husband commented on how much he liked this soap. His hands get REALLY dirty and he doesn't usually prefer using a super girly fragrance so this was a nice balance. :)

If you are like me and enjoy trying out different soap varieties, give this one a try! The fragrance is FABULOUS and it really does a great job of cleaning your hands without drying them out! Once again, Dial doesn't disappoint and I can't WAIT to see what they come out with next!! :D

This product is available to purchase now so if you are interested in giving it a try, you might want to start with Walmart as I know that I have seen it there. :) If you would like additional information for this or other Dial hand soap products, you can go here: http://www.dialsoap.com/products/miracle-oil-marula-oil-infused-liquid-hand-soap or visit them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dial

Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub Hand Soap Product Review

Experience the luxury of the Boutique Collection with NEW Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub Hand Soap!



NEW Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub Hand Soap is the newest member of the Dial Boutique Collection Hand Soap line, bringing luxury to your hand washing experience. With an indulgent scent inspired by freshly cut sugar cane, this premium formula with gentle micro scrubbers cleanses deeply while moisturizing and smoothing skin.

Boutique Collection Hand Soap:

-Vibrant scents (SUPER invigorating scents!)
-Refreshing moisture (no more dried out skin from hand washing!)
-Gentle micro-scrubbers (cleanses without drying!)

A deep cleansing formula helps give you clean, healthy hands and skin

Moisturizing formulas with skin conditioners hydrate your skin and visibly improve skin dryness while micro-scrubbers help gently remove dirt from your hands to leave them feeling smooth and refreshed.

Add a personal touch of style to your home!

A completely new bottle and design with rich colors lets you proudly display your favorite scent throughout your home.

I have sort of a hand soap OBSESSION! I absolutely LOVE trying out all the new scents of hand soap. I wash my hands constantly so for me, hand washing is more than just getting my hands clean. It is a pampering experience that I really want to enjoy. I LOVE hand soaps that really get my hands clean without drying them out. The problem with some deep cleaning soaps is that they strip my skin of moisture and leave them feeling very dry. That isn't the case with the Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub Hand Soap. You can feel the micro-scrubbers but they aren't at all abrasive. I feel like they do help get my hands extra squeaky clean, especially after touching something especially dirty (working in the yard) or gross (cat throw up, LOL). The fragrance is absolutely wonderful! It is very sugary and sweet without being sickening sweet. Instead of a french vanilla type smell, I would describe is more as a crisp vanilla. It is hard to describe but AWESOME just the same. My hands feel clean and very moisturized after use. I think it is a wonderful additional to the Boutique Collection (which I already buy & use regularly) and something that I will continue to switch between when buying different Dial fragrances. My only complaint is that Dial keeps coming out with so many wonderful fragrances that it's hard to choose just one! :)

This product is available to purchase now so if you are interested in giving it a try, you might want to start with Walmart. (I saw it there but it has been out of stock several times already!)

Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash Product Review

Nourish your skin with new Dial Miracle Oil body wash!



NEW Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash is infused with caring Marula oil for beautifully, soft skin. This new body wash is formulated with Micro Oil Technology for a luxurious, clean-rinsing lather that leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and smooth.

Did you know? Caring oils are a major trend in hair care and cosmetics. Dial is bringing these trendy oils to your shower with their new Micro Oil Technology for a rich lather that still rinses clean!

I think I can sum up my review in one word - FABULOUS!!!!! As you probably already know from reading my past reviews, I prefer scents that are fruity, refreshing, or clean. (not a huge fan of floral scents) The fragrance of this new Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash is AMAAAAAAZING! It is very hard to fully describe other than using the words tropical and exotic. It isn't like anything that I have ever smelled before. I want to say that I smell a hint of vanilla in there. It isn't overpowering or sickening sweet, just WONDERFUL in every way! When I think of a body wash infused with essential oils or one that claims to really nourish your skin deep down, I tend to think of a rich, creamy lather that DOESN'T always rinse well. (kind of like a lotiony texture) With the Dial Miracle Oil body wash, the lather IS very rich, luxurious, and creamy BUT surprisingly, it rinses clean. My skin doesn't have any slime or unwanted residue on it after rinsing. I'll admit, I was a little surprised by that! The fragrance left on my skin was subtle but still noticeable. Taking a shower with this body wash was like taking a little paradise vacation right there in my bathroom! LOL Needless to say, I would 100% recommend giving this product a try. If you have dry skin or just love trying new products, pick up a bottle. I really don't think you will be disappointed! (and if you are, feel free to send it my way) ;)

As for where you can buy this product, I haven't seen it in any of our local stores yet but I would keep checking Walmart as I'm sure they will probably be the first to have it. :) If you would like additional information for this or other Dial body wash products, you can go here: http://www.dialsoap.com/products/miracle-oil-marula-oil-infused-restoring-body-wash

Purex PowerShot Product Review

Purex PowerShot detergent does the measuring for you! No more guesswork!



NEW Purex PowerShot detergent simplifies the laundry routine by taking the guesswork out of measuring. Purex PowerShot is the only bottle that automatically dispenses the right amount of super concentrated formula with 50% more stain fighting power in every drop.

EASY TO USE

Just open the cap, flip the bottle upside down to deliver one super concentrated dose of detergent. Flip the bottle back upright and you are done! The PowerShot engine automatically refills and is ready for the next dose.

JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT

The built-in auto-dosing technology in the bottle does the measuring for you so there's no waste and results in a perfect clean EVERY time!

-Use 1 flip for regular loads
-Use 2 flips for large or extra dirty loads

FRAGRANCE YOU LOVE

Purex PowerShot is available in our two most popular fragrances - Mountain Breeze and Natural Elements Linen & Lilies.

I was really excited to try this product as I love products that are convenient and save me time. This sounded so simple to use and I loved the idea of not having to measure detergent, screw on a messy cap, etc. I did notice that this product leaked a little around the cap. (this could be because of the shipping, though?) I had to really rinse the bottle a few times to get all the detergent/slimy feeling off of it. I definitely plan on picking up another bottle when I see this in the store to see if this was just a fluke due to shipping. The product itself did work as expected. One flip for regular loads, 2 flips for larger ones. Easy peasy! I was having a somewhat lava lamp like experience watching the cap fill and then drip back down into the bottle, LOL! I received the Mountain Breeze scent to try. PERFECT for me because that is one of my favorite scents anyway! Double score! The detergent itself did a GREAT job of cleaning my laundry and removing stains. (which to me is more important than the bottle itself) The "PowerShot" feature was cool, though. Pouring detergent was never a really big deal for me but sometimes it could get a little messy. I like to fill the cap, pour it into my washing machine, and then rinse while the water is running. Sometimes the cap would drip down the bottle and leave it feeling slimy. Maybe I am just a sloppy laundry beast, LOL. The Purex PowerShot definitely prevents that since you just flip the bottle, pour, and that's it! No guessing and no mess! If you live a busy lifestyle or just like to try out convenience products, I would consider trying this one. It's even kind of fun to use and as always, the detergent itself ROCKS!!!

As for where you can buy this product, I haven't seen it in any of our local stores yet but I would keep checking Walmart as I'm sure they will probably be the first to have it. :) If you would like additional information or want to check out the store locator for other Purex detergent products, you can go here: http://www.purex.com/products/laundry-detergents/purex-powershot-detergent/
