Done to death I am sure...best shower gel

I fancy a new shower gel! I use a huge variety from Jo Malone (lovely but probably not worth it financially) to Molton Brown (as before) to Waitrose own brand etc.

Any suggestions please? I quite fancy a moisturising one but not wedded to that.

Thank you!

I LOVE Baylis and Harding ‘Kindness’ Plant Collagen in the pink bottle. The scent is gorgeously subtle, and the product is brilliant.

I’ve tried so many over the years, but my absolute favourite is Nivea Love Sunshine. It smells just like suncream and makes me think of holidays.

I got a sanctuary spa shower oil in sweet amber and oud.

mylurcheristhebest · 15/07/2025 17:44

My favourite at the minute is M&S white coconut

afaloren · 15/07/2025 17:59

My favourite is Snow Fairy from Lush. I buy loads at Christmas and use it all year. I also like L’Occitane Almond Oil, and their Verbena shower gel.

AgnesX · 15/07/2025 18:09

I like Espa. It (the bottle) says it's a shower gel but it's got more of a shower oil feel on the skin (nearly). You don't get that much in the way of bubbles.

ghostyslovesheets · 15/07/2025 18:11

Yves Rocher - especially the nutty ones

Shinyandnew1 · 15/07/2025 18:18

l'occitane almond shower gel

I had high hopes for this but it just makes the shower slippery and has barely any smell!

Lottapianos · 15/07/2025 18:19

I honestly love Original Source shower gels. Cheap as anything but smell fabulous

Happyher · 15/07/2025 18:21

Dove for me too my skin was very dry before I started using it but is lovely and soft now

YesHonestly · 15/07/2025 14:14

L’occitane Almond Oil

Oh no! This one goes down as my least favourite.

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 15/07/2025 18:27

Saurus72 · 15/07/2025 14:28

Malin & Goetz is lovely - bergamot smells beautiful, as does rum!

Yup, these are some of the nicest.
I would add to this list Le Labo Rose shower gel and Jo Loves Mango thai lime.

IlovetoKnitandRead · 15/07/2025 18:35

Soap and Glory Smoothie Star, sweet and vanillary good value and thick enough not to lose half of it in the shower before you start.

17CherryTreeLane · 15/07/2025 18:35

I love Comfort Zone Tranquility- it smells amazing!

peachandbloodorange · 15/07/2025 18:39

'Grass' - Lush
'The Olive Branch' - Lush
Any of the shower gels from Forest Essentials
'Perfect Body Smoothing Wash' - ThisWorks
'Verbena Shower Gel' - L'Occitane

BellissimoGecko · 15/07/2025 18:44

I love i’Occitane ones. Smell lovely, very lathery, last for ages, bottle is pretty!

ShaunaSadeki · 15/07/2025 18:46

Sukin is lovely but I also love receiving the the Rituals foaming ones listed above as gifts

l'occitane almond shower gel

Yep, me too. It is always recommended but I hated it, slimy rather than moisturizing and the smell was nothing special.

I use the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea shower gel. Love the freshness of it.

Nitgel · 15/07/2025 18:48

I love korres shower gels. Tk maxx sometimes have them.

UpMyself · 15/07/2025 18:50

@Nitgel , Korres is great and I buy it in TKMaxx too.

peachandbloodorange · 15/07/2025 18:56

Oh yes! Korres too - so nice.

Blingismything · 15/07/2025 18:59

I love the Nivea Summer shower gel.

WhatIsAScottishEgg · 15/07/2025 18:59

Aaron Aromatics, after the rain

WhatIsAScottishEgg · 15/07/2025 19:01

I also like the Molton Brown Pink Peppercorn one.

Definitelynotem · 15/07/2025 19:06

I love the Rose and Mallow Milk scent from Imperial Leather. Tried it on a whim as it was on sale at Costco and find it really moisturising and the scent lasts for ages
