I don't find Philosophy 3 in 1 shower gels moisturizing at all.  they leave my skin quite dry.  I do like Dove Nutrium body wash for sensitive skin, and also Aveda Rosemary Mint body wash (bit pricey) but smells so fresh.

I love the Oil of Olay Age Defying body wash.

 

Cetaphil would be great too.

I'm so glad I read this thread.  I quit using Philosophy a long time ago and started using Bath & Body Works, which I like a lot.  I use their fruit scented ones, because most scents boher me.  That's why I was never able to find a drugstore brand.  They all seemed to have strong scents.  Now I've written down four from this list that are unscented.  I'm looking forward to trying them.

I like Dove Wintercare for me. My skin is super dry and psoriasis prone.

 

I place Caress in the guest bath, everyone who stays comments on the great fragrances!

Having a bout with very dry skin.  Philosophy shower gels don't seem to be helping.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a drugstore brand that is really moisturizing?

Yes, but it is not exciting.  It is Eucerine skin calming body wash.  It is unscented,  very gentle and makes my skin so soft and happy.  Derm recommended it and I won't use anything else.

 

I read an article on internet the other day and it said your skin hates you when you use soaps, wash clothes, hot-hot water on your skin.  Use a very gentle body wash and your fingers to cleanse and tepid water.

Like many here I love Dove. They have uncented for those that have an issue. I find even the bar soap is good.

 

For tub soaks I like Dr. Teals epsom salts . There are many varieties. One has avocado and is moistuizing.

Bought Tea Tree Body wash with shea butter (in plastic bottle) and matching lotion (in a tube). Am doing Chemo and understand one's skin can get very dry. Started using the pair before my first session and I like the result.

 

Bought mine for $5.99 each at my new Hy-Vee store, but I'm sure it's available at other venues.
