Advantages: Value for money

Disadvantages: Not much "zing"

This shower gel is a 250ml tube of lime scented shower gel, which comes in an easy squeeze tube for £1. I thought this was good value for money for a shower gel, and I like zingy, fresh scents for showering so decided to give it a go.

The tube is well designed, which means that the product is easy to squeeze out of the tube, in comparison to other products which have a somewhat tougher tube to squeeze so I like this feature a lot.
As regards the actual gel, I found it doesn't lather up that well but when applied to the skin does leave a nice freshly washed feeling.

The gel comes in different flavours including the berry one which I have tried.
The main drawback to this shower gel is that it was not as "zingy" as it claims on the packaging. You definitely get a burst of fresh lime scent as you use the product which is nice, but it is quite a mild scent and doesn't really have the effect as others do of waking me up in the morning. I like the tingly sensations you get from certain brands of shower gel, and was somewhat disappointed to discover that this "zingy" shower gel did not live up to expectation.

I might buy the berry one again as this was quite fruity, but if there was a similar priced shower gel I would go for that one instead to try something different, as it is not the best product I have encountered for showering.

The product lasts for quite a long time as it is 250ml, I use a coin sized squeeze per shower or bath.
In summary, this is a good value shower gel, but could do with a bit more oomph as regards scents, especially as it is marketed as a zingy lime!

Summary: Value shower gel, could be more fruity
