Advantages: Cleared up dry itchy skin

Disadvantages: Price & availability

Palmolive Pure Cashmere Intense Hydration shower cream has been in my shopping trolley for many months now. I originally brought it from Superdrug as it was on offer and we tried it out.

My husband suffers with very sensitive skin under his arms and especially when it is warm weather he can get quite a sore area there. After using this shower cream for around a week, the sore itchy area completely healed up and disappeared and has never returned, despite brief sidetracking to other Palmolive shower creams. I have given it five stars simply for this fact, let alone the other great properties that it has.

The cream is very smooth and thick when it comes out of the bottle and feels very luxurious as you apply it to your body. The cream turns to foam very easily and you don't need tonnes of the stuff to clean your entire self. I will complain slightly about the shape of the bottle though. Being a simple oval shape it is easy to tip up and squeeze out when it is full, but as you use it up the bottle goes very concave in the middle, making it harder and harder to squeeze the contents out. A rethink on bottle shape would be good.

The smell is fairly subtle and doesn't remind me of anything, but just has a nice clean aroma to it which doesn't last once you are out of the shower, meaning there will be no cross over with your perfume/aftershave.

Price and availability are a bit of a sticking point though. It is very expensive stuff at around the £3.89 mark for the larger bottle. I always stock up when I see it on offer anywhere, but that's a problem too. Everywhere seems to have stopped stocking it. Sainsburys stopped ages ago in my town, Superdrug no more and now Boots who I brought my last lot from have got rid of the label from the shelf (I brought their remaining stock last time!) I will have to buy it from the Internet now or go searching in larger stores outside my area. Very frustrating.

However the proven effectiveness of the shower cream has my husband hooked and he won't use anything else now so I will be trauling the shops everytime I visit the next town for this fantastic, luxury shower cream.
