Palmolive Aroma Therapy Absolute Relax Shower Gel Review

Hi guys,

What do you guys like to do during weekends? In my case I like to take long showers and pamper myself. Not only does it relax my mind ,but also it is a great stress buster. Taking really long shower(which is not possible in weekdays) calms my body down and prepares it for coming days of hustle bustle. I really enjoy pampering myself with body washes or shower gels, so today I will be discussing with you about one of my favourite shower gel, that is Palmolive Aroma Therapy Absolute Relax Shower Gel.

My Experience with the product:


Palmolive Aroma Therapy Absolute Relax Shower Gel comes in a transparent plastic bottle. The shape of the bottle is designed in a way that it can be easily held during the shower. As the bottle is transparent, it is easy to check how much of the product is left. The packaging of this product is sturdy, making it travel friendly. The colour of the shower gel is purple and smells like lavender to me. But different people may have different opinions about the fragrance of this shower gel. People with sensitive nose can also tolerate the fragrance. The consistency of the gel is neither too thick or too thin. If I talk about the texture then I would say the product feels very soft, like gel.



I take a little amount of this shower gel on my loofah, and wash my body with it. This shower gel lathers nicely and the aroma is quite relaxing. Rinses off quite well leaving my body feel soft and supple. This shower gel does it magic in only little amount, so the shower gel will last long. The fragrance lasts for about  an hour or so slowly fading away. It does not dries out my skin. I am really impressed with this shower gel.

What I liked about this shower gel:

  • Nice firm grip of the bottle
  • Has pleasing fragrance
  • Affordable
  • Relaxes the body
  • Appealing colour of the shower gel
  • Does not dry out the skin
  • Cleanses the skin nicely
  • Ingredients present in it are quite impressive
  • Helps to vanish body odour

What I didn't like about this shower gel:

  • Fragrance does not lasts for long .
  • Contains Limonene ,Linalool-which are known to cause skin allergy sometimes, but I didn't feel anything like this.
  • A little bulky if you are traveling

Would I repurchase/recommend the product? 


This shower gel is worth a shot, I do not use any shower gel/body wash twice. it's not because I do not like it but it's because I like to try different shower gels/body washes. So may be I will try a variant of this range.

 

Ratings:


I would give this product 4/5.


I really enjoyed sharing my experience of Palmolive Aroma Therapy Absolute Relax Shower Gel with you all. Hope you liked it. for any queries or further discussion of this product please write to me and I will get back to you.

Love,
Monika
