Advantages: bubbles last well
Disadvantages: didn't create a lot of bubbles, smell is a bit underwhelming
I currently have a few different bubble baths on the go, one of which is the Aqua Therapy De-Stressing Bath Soak by Imperial Leather. I have used quite a few Imperial Leather products over the years and have found them hit and miss - some are lovely and others are not so good, so I must admit I went into using this product not quite knowing what I was going to get!
The bath soak is packaged in a clear bottle through which you can see the dark green liquid. The shape of the bottle is the usual curvy style that the majority of Imperial Leather products are packaged in and has a leafy design on the front. I think the colours of the bottle make it look slightly masculine, but on the whole it's a nice enough design.
To use you simply put a glug of this under running water as you would with any other product of this nature. The green liquid is thick, but disperses quickly under the running water, turning the water a very pale greenish-grey shade. I was a little disappointed by the amount of bubbles this produces. The bottle advises to expect 'rich, fragrant and creamy bubbles' but having used this product several times now I have found that the bubbles are actually more of a thin froth than a mountain of bubbles which is what I would expect.
The bath soak contains sea fennel which is a source of vitamin C, a natural skin enhancer and white tea which is rich in antioxidants. The smell of the product is nice but does not strike me as being particularly special. I'd say it's quite a unisex scent and smells herby and to some extent minty I think with that general 'sea' scent you get from a lot of toiletries. As I say, pleasant but nothing special.
Although the bubbles are not as thick as I would like I find when bathing in this they do last a long time. Surprisingly I have even found that I will have some bubbles remaining even when I have used other soap based products in the bath. The scent only lingers for around five minutes before I stop noticing it.
I don't find this to be particularly de-stressing to be honest and nor to I find that it does much for my skin.
A 500ml bottle of this bath soak will cost you £1.53 from Tesco but is currently on special offer for just £1 which I think is closer to its true value.
Overall I found this to be quite an average product. I would use it again if there were no alternatives, but faced with a shelf full of choices I don't think I would go for this one again.
Summary: OK but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it again
