15 Amazing-Smelling Products That Will Make You Wonder Why You've Used Any Other

For the most part, I go through phases of being attracted to particular fragrances in my skin and body care products. From one month to another, I may gravitate towards light, powdery florals only to find myself needing something with a hint of sugar and spice. But there's one fragrance I love in all my products that I always find myself coming back to when I'm in the mood for feeling clean, relaxed, and in control: eucalyptus. In fact, I'm such a big eucalyptus fan that my shower routine isn't complete without a fresh bunch of eucalyptus hanging from the shower head so that I can always get that spa-worthy experience for a fraction of the price.

While I love using skin and body care products that market themselves as having eucalyptus oil as one of their main ingredients, I only use products from trusted brands to avoid causing any harm to the skin. To better understand stand what makes eucalyptus oil tricky to balance correctly in products, I spoke to Audrey Kunin, MD, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Dermadoctor. "While eucalyptus oil is promoted as an ingredient with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, there are no clinical studies that support its use," begins Kunin. "At this time, I would recommend it only as a moisturizing agent. Please be aware it can lead to itching and irritation for some."

So which products using eucalyptus oil as their main selling point pass the test? Keep scrolling to find out which 15 eucalyptus-scented products I trust to keep my skin looking and feeling amazing.
