Studiowest Almond & Peach Refreshing Shower Gel Review

Studiowest Almond & Peach Refreshing Shower Gel Review

By Simran

‘Take care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live’

Studiowest has taken over my world by storm. The Studiowest range of products is made by keeping in mind the Indian skin and the harsh Indian weather. I picked up the product from the Radiance bath & body range of Studiowest.

The Radiance range consists of fruity fragrance products while there is an another completely parallel range called the Indulge range which consists of flowery fragrance products.

Other options in the Radiance range consisting of fruity fragrance are Honey & Strawberry, Aloe Vera & Green Apple.

Claim: The goodness of almond and peach cleanses and hydrates your skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Ingredients:

Price: Rs. 299/- for 300ml

Packaging: The packaging is not anything fancy. It has a flip open cap which makes the products easy to use and doesn’t encourage wastage of the product. The cap is sturdy and easy to use. The product comes in a simple transparent plastic bottle which is sturdy as well.

Consistency: The consistency of the product is not thick as compared to other shower gels. It lathers up quickly, you do not need to use a huge amount of the product. It leaves a beautiful aroma of peach lingering on the skin which is the biggest plus point of the product. Who wouldn’t like to smell like peaches? You need to use a pea size amount to wash your face.

My experience with the product: I solely picked up the product due to the beautiful aroma of the product and since I ran out of my shower gel, i wanted to try a new product.

The products sticks to its claims pretty well. It makes your skin really soft and hydrates it pretty well.

Even though the colour of the product looks peach in the packaging, it comes off as a transparent gel. The product lathers well so you do not need a lot of amount for each use. I usually like to pour a coin size amount on a wet loofah and use the shower gel.

The fragrance of the product has a good staying power even after the shower. I always use a body butter/body lotion after using the product since I have normal to dry skin.

I highly recommend using the Studiowest Peach & Almond body lotion or body butter after using the shower gel to make the fragrance of the product linger all day.

Pros of Studiowest Radiance Almond & Peach Refreshing Shower Gel:

  • Hydrates the skin
  • Huge amount of the product is not required
  • Lathers really well
  • Leaves an aroma of peaches on your skin
  • Good consistency of the product
  • Budget friendly

Cons of  Studiowest Radiance Almond & Peach Refreshing Shower Gel:

  • Some people might find the fragrance of the product too harsh
  • Available only in the Westside stores across the country

Rating: 4/5

Overall: You get a good amount of 300ml for 299 Rs. The bottle will last you for 2-3 months as a lot of product is not required per use since the lathering power of the product is amazing.

The product smells wonderful and is hydrating as well. Yes, you would have to moisturize your skin after the use if you have dry skin.

Editor’s Note: I have tried the Almond & Peach Face Wash from this range. Sounds pretty good.
