Looking for a shower gel reco…

January 31st, 2010 · 17 Comments

Anyone have a good recommendation for shower gel?

I like sudsy not milky without scrub beads. Lightly scented, not overly feminine nor masculine. Not too watery (like Kiehl’s) but not too heavy either (must easily squirt out of my Simple Human dispenser). Something lightly moisturizing that doesn’t dry out my skin.

That’s not too much to ask for right? What do you use/recommend?

    Sounds like you need Korres! Have you used their showel gel before? I know you’ve mentioned liking some of their other products. I’ve used their guava, lemon basil, fig and cinnamon vanilla. The only one I didn’t like was the cinnamon vanilla, it wasn’t rich or smooth enough – the scent reminded me of red hot candy potpourri. The formula is basically as you described, but I think they have SLS so they might dry your skin if it’s sensitive.

    Bath and Body Works Triple Moisture Shower Cream is great! They reworked the formula, so it’s just the right amount of moisture. I personally use the Moonlight Path scent, which I get complimented on a lot. It’s not overly floral or strong. :)

    Boots Botanics Shower gel. I bought it at the drugstore ’cause it was mad cheap. It smells good (not too feminine) and has the right consistency.

    I totally agree, try Korres. Their body moisturisers are great too. I use the Guava one as a hand cream…

    I love Pro-Age by Dove, it’s rich! Or any of Dove’s cream oil body washes.

    I love Dove’s deep moisture body wash. (it’s the blue one) It’s a very clean smell, and it’s not strong. I like that it doesn’t compete with any fragrance that I put on after, and I can easily pick it up anywhere if I run out. No little beads…can’t stand that either! I like my wash to be seperate from my scrub. For about $4, you really can’t lose.

    Let us know what you end up trying/liking.

    I love Molton Brown’s Coco de Mer.

    Have you tried the Kiehl’s Creme de Corps body wash? I’m also a big fan of the Fresh Milk line of shower gels.

    I second the pro-age by Dove- it doesn’t smell too strong and its a nice consistency. Plus really good value!

    My favorite shower gel would be the Apivita Aromatherapy with White Chocolate, Vanilla and White Tea. It is creamy and it smells delicious!!!

    Perlier Honey Cream bath cream. It’s super rich & luxurious, but not overly scented and not drying. You can sometimes score them at TJ Maxx for a super discount! :)
