What budget shower gels have you already tried?

I decided to save money in bath and shower procedures, do you use any budget brands for now? can you recommend some of them?

    I had a gift set from Soap And Glory called Orangasm for a Christmas gift. It dried my skin out really bad. I just buy ordinary Dove soap from home bargains £2 for 6 bars. I love the smell of Dove it makes me feel nice and clean but not dried out.
    Britain is great but Manchester is greater
  • Another vote for Dove!

    I use the bars too. I used to have problems with dry, sensitive skin until I read somewhere that there is a difference in the chemical make up of soap vs. shower gel, which is basically a detergent. Since I switched to Dove shea butter bar soap my skin has been much better. Store them in the airing cupboard, they make all the linen smell amazing. Another plus is the bars last a lot longer than a bottle of shower gel so very MSE:money:.

    The rest of my family use the tesco's or aldi own shower gel, or they all love the 'Original Source' label which has some truly amazing scents, is vegan and often on offer or in poundshops.
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    Can't use Dove or Simple as they bring me out in hives! Just discovered that Method washing up liquid (bought far too many in a closing down sale) is nicer than my usual cheap shower gel! The OH thought it was shower gel and just used it - smelled fabulous and no skin reactions as it's so mild. As Flylady would say - "soap is soap ..."
    Looking ahead

    I get the Palmolive shower gels when they're on offer. Love the almond milk one.

    Some of the Imperial Leather shower gels (eg. the yellow mango one) are disappointingly thin and watery.

    I've switched to the Boots Therapy Nourish/Moisturise shower gels, and Sainsbury's shower cremes. They're only about 90p each and the Sainsbury's ones are paraben free and BUAV approved! (and they're nice too!)

    I like Superdrug own brand stuff as it's cruelty free and inexopensive!

    My absolute favourite is Original Source Pineapple, which I buy when it's about £1 in Home Bargains or Wilko.
    The Palmolive Powerfruit one is quite nice.
