How they describe it:

Energizing Exfoliating Shower Gel – Raspberry Peppermint

LES PLAISIRS NATURE

Cost: 8 €

What I wanted

This time I really expected from my shower gel 4 things:

To be exfoliating
To smell nice
To be natural, if not BIO at least to approach this standard
To be affordable

There are 2 similar products that I used before and if you click their name, you will find their reviews: Sabon Jasmine (16.00 €) and CLINIQUE Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream (€32.00).

The problem with these 2 is that they are too expensive, they don’t smell very nice and they don’t seem very natural. Both products were great, especially the Clinique one. It really left the skin very very soft and beautiful and I think it is even suitable for troubled skin. But this time I really wanted a cheaper, nicer smelling and more natural product.

My experience with Yves Rocher Exfoliating Shower Gel

I bought this Raspberry Peppermint Shower Gel from Yves Rocher. In the past I also used the coffee shower gel, which I liked, so I hoped I will like this one too.

In terms of quality, it is way beneath Sabon and Clinique. The exfoliating part is not very good (I would have preferred much more exfoliating particles), although it left my skin feeling kind of soft but very dry… extremely dry!

I opened the bottle in the shop and smelled it and it had an average smell, but once I used it, the smell was bad, like puke.

It is an average shower gel, although I think that some drug store shower gels are better. I guess the price is a little bit too high but then again I guess it is more natural than other gels, so this should explain why it is pricey.
