Not what I expected

I was given the opportunity to try L’Occitane’s Nourishing Whipped Almond cleaner, complementary, in exchange for an honest review. This body wash is a delightfully airy and creamy body cleanser that has a floral scent. Unfortunately, I hate to say, but I actually did not end up liking this product. I first tried using the cleanser with just my hands to wash my body. But that didn’t work because the cleanser, even though it does foam a little but, would just wash away immediately. So then I tried using a bath poof. While this made the cleanser last better, I found that I had to use A LOT of product to be able to wash my whole body from head to toe. With this in mind, I don’t think this cleanser is going to last very long at all, and at $40 a tube, it’s not exactly ideal. I also found that after showering, the cleanser left me feeling like I had a film on my skin, and after a few washes, I realized that the residue on my skin was making me hot – as in, hot flashes type hot. Once I stopped using the cleanser, both the filmy residue and hot flashes, if you will, stopped. So while I’m grateful for getting to try this product out, I will not be purchasing it in future.

Not worth the price

I was not that impressed with this product. It is a cream product, so I wasn’t expecting much foam, but it hardly emulsified at all. I had to use a lot of the product to get my whole body clean, even using a loofah.

It has a light, creamy texture and a subtle almond smell, not too overpowering. This was nice as almond isn’t my favourite. However that’s not the products fault, just a personal preference. It still smelled pleasant. I love other L’Occitane scents, almond just isn’t for me.

My skin felt soft after my shower, even before moisturizing. But I didn’t notice any smell on my skin after about 30 minutes.

Overall I wasn’t impressed with how much product I had to use to feel clean. It doesn’t lather well at all. For the price, it doesn’t feel worth it. However, my skin did feel noticeably softer after my shower, even before moisturizing. I will finish the bottle, but I won’t repurchase.
