Not really anti stress

If I had 50 cents every time someone said to me stop stressing, calm down, don't stress etc I swear I would be a millionaire by now. And I will admit I am pretty full on and do find it hard to unwind and I love products that have the words relax, anti stress, calming etc written on the label so this one has me at anti stress

The bottle is a big 500ml bottle it's easy to grab in the shower and flip the lid open. The colour of this shower gel is pretty, it's a clear purple colour and the texture is definitely a gel it's not creamy or milky. The scent is heaven on earth a sweet lavender scent that is soothing and calming and makes me want to bathe in it. It lathers up quite a bit when used with a loofah.

The downfall with it is the scent, the calming and soothing stops as soon as you hop out of the shower. The scent doesn't linger on my skin. It's a lovely shower gel and it leaves my skin feeling clean and doesn't dry it out. It's also really reasonably priced too. I just wished the scent would last longer on my skin so this chaotic lady could chill out for a bit.

Palmolive Aroma Therapy Anti-Stress Shower Gel

You can find this product in supermarkets and other outlets and Iv'e purchased it twice when it was on special for $3.

The packaging is that of your typical shower gel. It's purple, nothing fancy but I would prefer an upside down bottle so to get all of the product out easier.

The scent is nice, vanilla which I like as it's not too overpowering.

I found it reasonably good at lathering up and easy to wash off. It left my skin with a slight vanilla scent but not any softer than it was before I use it. It didn't leave me "stress free" like it claims to do which made me not particularly interested in using it anymore as that was the reason for buying it, to help me de-stress.

If you're looking for a simple shower gel then by all means, buy this product but I personally wouldn't recommend it.

Strong and powerful smell

The beautiful smell of the product is relieving and relaxing. I loved this. It made me feel super clean, soft and relaxed! I will definitely be buying again as it’s also reasonably priced!

Tips: I shower with this before bed and it sends me to sleep!

Wonderful body wash

Great and wonderful body wash to feel amazing with however is expensive for what it is and it dried my skin out more than I would like.

Tips: Moisturize well after use

Anti-stress Aroma for a Bit of Shower Therapy

This shower gel brings back memories it was my more expensive shower gel on my teen budget that I used whenever I wanted to smell extra nice. So before any party or going out or on vacation this was the shower gel I brought along. The scent is gorgeous, sensual and relaxing I have to give Palmolive an A+ for this scent. This shower gel lathers up really well on a shower puff and the bottle is big lasts for a long time and is cheap. It’s a bit of affordable therapeutic shower aromatherapy, very relaxing. Unfortunately, if you have dry or sensitive skin like me it’s too drying. I never made the connection as a teenager, but I used to have really dry and itchy skin that needed a ton of body lotion. When I switched to using this occasionally and started using a more moisturizing body wash (Dove) I somehow had softer and less dry skin. Still the love for this scent didn’t vanish so I persevered. About a month I found large bottle of this in the shower, the scent was as amazing as I remembered but hello dry skin and itchy red patches. I wish I could find this scent in a more moisturizing and sulfate-free body wash because that would be a winner for me, also a body lotion designed for dry and sensitive skin, yes that would be my daily dose of de-stressing in the shower.

Tips: If you don't have dry or sensitive skin and don't mind sulfates this is fantastic body wash that smells like luxury at an affordable price. If you use it with a shower puff it's less drying but if you lather the gel with your hands and apply it you get more of the scent on your skin after your shower. If you have sensitive skin or dry skin I wouldn't recommend using this as a daily bodywash, maybe occasionally and follow up with an ultra moisturizing body cream or butter or oil.

Nice

This is a nice product it smells great, it’s soft and fresh on the body, the gel foams up well and it’s cost effective, but to be honest anti stress I’m not so sure about.

Smells so good!

Love the scent of this one! The product has a gel like consistency that foams quite beautifully and quickly. Gone through two bottles of these and absolutely love and is a staple in my shower.

Tips: Use it with a little loofah, little goes a long way! Let it bubble up :)

I dunno about anti-stress therapy

It works as a body wash in general but I'm not so sure about the anti-stress therapy part. Maybe it gives that effect for some but I take showers at night before bed and didn't feel that effect at all.

Tips: As a normal general shower gel body wash it does the job but for anti-stress, you may need to find other options

Palmolive anti stress is ok...

While my boyfriend loves this I on the other hand am not a fan of this. It seems that everytime I use this I get quite itchy and sometimes alittle rashy on my legs which is odd. The smell is quite intense (lavender) which I don't mind and the purple gel is quite neat in appearance but It just doesn't agree with my skin

Tips: Perhaps do a little test on the skin before showering, incase you get itchy too

cheap no always better

I love lavender and usually stronger the better but this shower gel is just to over powering. Great size 500ml bottle lasts a long time. as its a thick jellish type gel in a cute purple colour. I generally use just a small amount on a bath scrub, it lathers easily. I also enjoyed the slick purple packaging. While i did enjoy the product but after a few uses, my skin felt quite dry and it gave me a red rash, which was disappointing as I was over all enjoying it. overall did the job was clean after using it but wouldn't purchase again

Tips: a little goes a long way
