Advantages: Lovely scent, unisex, good packaging, refreshing and uplifting

Disadvantages: Doesn't moisturise

My boyfriend bought this when we went away together. We'd decided to buy toiletries when we got there rather than take them with us, and he chose this shower gel as something that we could both happily use. It was on offer for 99p in Superdrug, the usual price being £2.29.

It comes in quite a strange shaped bottle, as you can see from the picture above, but the design is very modern and eyecatching. It is a see-through plastic so you can always easily see when you're running out, and it has a flip top lid which makes it very easy and convenient to use.

The gel is, unsurprisingly, a bright lime green colour ans has a very fresh, zingy lime scent which is really uplifting and perfect to help wake you up in the morning. It is quite a thick gel which lathers quickly and creates a lot of lather from just a small amount of gel. It's a nice thick lather that feels really soft and is lovely to use.

I find using this not only uplifting but also very refreshing to use, it cleans well and leaves me feeling much fresher than most other gels I've used. The only slight downside for me is that it doesn't really moisturise my skin or leave it feeling soft and smooth, which is something I generally want from a shower gel. However it did leave my boyfriend's skin feeling softer than usual, I assume because he doesn't usually use moisturising ones like I do.

Overall I think this is a decent shower gel which is definitely unisex and both me and my boyfriend enjoyed using it, we actually got through over half the bottle in 3 days just because we loved it so we used more than we really needed! Recommended.

Summary: A very nice uplifting shower gel
