    facewash is going to work out more expensive per 100ml than the showergel.
    Why not look for a showergel/shampoo combination (I think I've seen some of these in the shops, aimed more at men though) and then a seperate product for your face?

    Do you seriously want one product to wash your face, body and hair?? I don't think you'll find one that does all three well. I notice the products all contain aloe vera, are they all from a particular brand? I'd say the best idea would be to find a bar of moisturising soap for face and body, and a separate shampoo. Anything that's designed for cleaning your hair isn't likely to be kind to your face, and anything gentle enough for your face isn't likely to clean your hair very thoroughly.

    If you don't mind paying a bit of money (around £8 after quidco) then I would really recommend what I use, for shampoo, shower gel and soap.

    I use "deep steep" bubble bath. Its exactly the same ingredients as the "deep steep" shower gel but just labelled bubble bath and better value because its a big bottle. Trust me it works very well for everything. Its a 517ml bottle so it does last a long time. The Melon and Tangerine is the nicest smell (i've tried them all) but I'm a man.

    The ingredients are organic and chemical free
    Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Infusion of Organic Herbs; Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Cucumis Melo (Melon) Fruit Extract, Coco Glucoside, Glycerin (Vegan), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Aroma (Organic and Wildcrafted Aroma Blend), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Caprylic Acid (Coconut Fatty Acid), Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Natural, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid.

    I was watching a YouTube video today and a woman was using it to wash her make up brushes.
    Didn't realise it was available in the UK.
    Thanks. :)

    I agree with you and shower gel is i think more good for use and also it is less expensive than face wash.

    That is literally throwing money down the drain :eek::eek::eek:

    I saw an all in one product in Poundland the other day, wouldn't want to buy it myself but it was aimed for men.

    I use my shampoo for that, just a drop of H&S on my palm does the trick.
