Palmolive Aroma Therapy Anti-Stress Shower Gel Review

This is a really nice smelling shower gel, you only need to use a small amount and it lathers up really well and leaves you feeling fresh and clean however I would not recommend it if you are after it due to the anti-stress claims, while it certainly doesn't make you more stressed, it doesn't reduce it either. I would definitely repurchase again for the scent of this shower gel as it smells great

I am not an overly stressed out person, unless of course my mother in law and I have been chatting. I purchased this mainly because it was on special and I liked the smell compared to the others, and I hadn't tried this.

I like the color purple, and this purple gel is no exception. It is super easy to get out of the bottle, and put back in if you took too much out. It lathers really well (how cool would it be if the bubbles were purple too?) and I find it lathers best with a loofah or exfoliating gloves. It rinses off really well and doesn't leave a dry feeling you can sometimes get with soaps. In fact, my skin felt silky smooth!

The smell definitely lives up to it's given name of aromatherapy! The scent lingers for ages and it makes the bathroom smell absolutely amazing. I can't comment on it's stress relieving properties but it does smell nice, and I really enjoyed using it. I would purchase this again just for the smell and color, rather than what it claims to do!

A really deep purple bottle that has a nice shape easy to hold with wet hands and an easily accessible flip top lid. This is a very thick purple gel with a lovely fragrance of vanilla and ylang ylang and a hint of floral, the scent is so nice and delicate. I didn't find any form of stress relief, but it is a nice relaxing scent and a soft wash. A little squirt on my body scrubby and it foams up into a very fluffy soft lather and I get an lovely soft clean wash with using this, clean skin without feeling stripped of moisture this is a wash I'll reserve for using at night before bed as I do prefer a invigorating wash in the morning. 100 washes yes I pretty much get that it does last, and is so nice to use I do like luxurious soaps but nothing beats a good shower gel for everyday use. It's certainly a good buy.

It's not quite as 'anti-stress' as the packaging would have you believe but it certainly does smell nice. I like the colour purple so this ticks that box nicely! More gel-like in consistency, this product lathers up well on a body pouf or sponge, but just as well in your hand too. The lavender overpowers any other scent in the mix but IS calming when the water is warm and the steam is rising. A good product to use before bed (if you're into the lavender-makes-you-sleepy thing), but won't make you sleepy if you use it before your 8am commute on the motorway! The scent doesn't really hold on to the skin once you've dried yourself so if you're hoping for a good 'layering scent' you probably need a stronger product than this. Overall, it's a lovely shower/bath gel that smoothes the skin and leaves you feeling a little better - just don't expect miracles!

It was the gorgeous purple colour that caught my eye on the supermarket shelf.

It comes in a good sized 500ml bottle which lasts for ages.

The lid is a bit of a dissapointment (a pump would have been better for this sized bottle) but once you get the hang of flipping it open with wet hands you are on a roll.

The fragrance is beautiful and quite strong while you are in the shower and it lathers really well. It leaves you feeling clean and you skin feels so nice afterwards.

I love this shower gel, the scent is so relaxing. I like to actually put the gel in my baths due to the smell being so strong and calming. It is a good shower gel for a good price. I would definitely buy this again!

I find this shower gel quite refreshing and relaxing. It works good to relax the muscles. I buy it for my partner to help work the tension out of his muscles to allow them to relax. As part of his chiropractic care mainly is to get this back and shoulder muscles to relax and release the tension and this shower gel defiantly helps in that department.

Its really good product. I'm not too much a fan of the smell but that's just me, I'm very picky with smells. We are continuing to repurchase this product

This shower gel has a nice aromatic scent that made me feel relaxed and calm. I love the gel texture, that is soft and spreads nicely over the skin. It made my body feel nice and fresh. Resonable price as well. I wish however, the smell was longer lasting to give the relaxed feeling once I am out of the shower.

Use this on the daily! Amazing smell, lingers for a long time and lasts a while! Doesn’t leave purple marks or stains on the bathroom either! Absolutely love it

My job has me stressed out pretty much all the time! Does this help relieve me of that stress: no.

What I do like: it smells good, not too overpowering or sweet but fresh and some what revitalising. It comes in a good size package that lasts a good while but not too long that you get sick of it.

The negatives: it wasn't exactly 'anti-stress' for me. I also would prefer a pump - but this isn't a deal breaker for me. I also didn't find it softened my skin any.

Overall, I like it as a shower gel. But just that. It was nothing special and didn't do anything amazing that would make me buy this above any other shower gel. I like the scent and it is often sold at a great price on sale - so for that reason, and that reason alone, I would probably repurchase.
