REVIEW: YVES ROCHER HAMAMELIS MAXI SUPER-SOFT SHOWER GEL FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

One of my most repurchased shower gels has to be Yves Rocher Hamamelis Maxi Super-soft Shower Gel for Sensitive Skin. I think I've already used like 4 bottles of this.

This is a gentle shower gel that is suitable for the whole family. It foams up and cleans my skin well without drying it out, even in winter. It's great for shaving, too. It runs out quite fast, possibly due to its runny texture. I use this with my mother and one bottle will last for 1 month. However, since this is affordable, it's not a major problem. It has a witch hazel (?) (I'm not too sure coz I don't know what a witch hazel smells like) scent which I neither like nor dislike. Although it contains salicylic acid, it has no effect whatsoever on the odd blemishes that I have on my back in summer. As it's very gentle, it cannot remove my waterproof sunscreen and I have to use my facial cleanser / body scrub / exfoliating gloves for that. Honestly, I don't mind because the shower gels that can take away my sunblock are often too drying for me. Despite all the weaknesses, I often come back to this shower gel as it's a simple, gentle and affordable product that can be used daily. And it's eco-friendly too :)

Pros:
- Gentle and non-drying 
- Lather up really well
- Clean skin well
- Great for shaving
- Can be used everyday
- Suitable for sensitive skin
- Affordable
- Eco-friendly

Cons:
- Run out quite fast
- Have no effect on body acnes
- Can't remove waterproof sunscreen

Repurchase?: Yes :)
