Most Helpful Positive Review AMAZING This shower oil is just lovely. Smells fantastic and leaves your skin feeling so soft with a delicate almond fragrance. You won't be disappointed. The bottle also last longer than you'd expect. I love this whole line. The soap with the crushed almonds is also wonderful.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not worth it I ordered this shower gel mainly because of good reviews. I used organic almond shower gel before from a different company that I love, it had a nice almond smell - like pure almonds. I expected higher quality from this product considering the price. However, this shower gel' smell is too strong, even uncomfortable to use it (smell like fake almonds). I called the customer service and didn't get any support, was told that because I opened it, I had to mail it to their warehouse and wait 4weeks to get store credit - not good product, not good customer service so I will never buy anything from this brand again. There are other brands out there that offer organic products and back up their products by great customer service . I am not returning this product because it is too much hassle. Didn't work for me.

I may be young and most people I know who use this product are older in age but I absolutely fell in love within the first shower! This product makes my skin feel absolutely delicate, smooth and silky while still feeling clean. I have eczema and it helps to soothe my irritation. I use this every morning and night in conjunction with the almond bar soap. Every shower I want to feel luxurious and this does it for me! I bought the large size and all the other body products. Cant wait to try the Shea shower oil! Brava!
Smells like my grandmas old makeup 2

The smell is SO strong and it smells like old makeup. I dont smell any almond ...
Unadvertised benefit! 5
Sewmomwoods from Wisconsin
Smells great, keeps skin soft (as everyone says). The thing no one mentions is how great it is NOT TO HAVE CLOUDY SHOWER GLASS DOORS since using this product exclusively. I understand there is "talc" or some other substance in bar soaps (to help them maintain their solid shape in a wet environment?) and that is what causes all the scum and cloudiness on shower glass. Since using this product I have literally had NO clouding or etching on my shower glass or tile (yes, I do squeegee every shower but that didn't eliminate the clouding problem before using this shower oil). Have been using it exclusively for over 25 years!
Very sensual 4
D from Alexandria, VA
I like the shower oil. It worked be est when I applied it to my body before getting into the shower and getting wet. Once in shower I work up look at her with shower puff. Not slippery. However, it became too expensive to use for daily showers.
Love it! 5
Helena from Miami, FL
It's true that doesn't foam but that is kind of the idea! It feels more like an oil but still cleans. I use it for many years now and i really love the sensation that leaves in the skin and the scent!
L'occitane En Provence is worst skin product EVER! 1
Skin Consultant from Brookfield, CT
Worst product ever. The only thing worse than the product is the customer service. The product and service is absolutely horrible. Also, if you send a gift, understand that the recipient will have TO WRAP THEIR OWN GIFT AS THE GIFT SHOWS UP WITH A FOLDED UP BOX, TISSUE PAPER AND RIBBON ON TOP OF THE GIFT....What a scam!!!! Then, when you get to the product, it's absolutely gross, greasy and disgusting.
BUY SHISEIDO....much better and they stand behind their product.

Something went wrong with this once so great product 1
Tetiaroa from San Diego, CA
I have been using this oil for about 15 years now: I first discovered it while living in France and adopted it immediately..
I was so glad to be able to find it in the US when I moved here 10 years ago, and I kept using it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I have literally been in love with it and recommended it ... until a couple of years ago.
Then, I started to notice that the oil in the pump dispenser would separate into two phases after a couple of weeks (see photo attached): one phase being more oily, with the thick texture and smell of mineral (paraffin-like) oil; The other being more watery than your usual oil, while still retaining the scent.
I first thought I had gotten a wrong batch, or that some water somehow had leaked into the bottle, but, I have had this issue with almost all my orders over the last couple of years.
I ended up reaching out to L'Occitane's customer service, who told me that they were aware of this problem but that this was not an issue and that I should just shake the bottle, or warm it up before use....
But this did not work and as I am currently living in San Diego, CA, I assumed this was not a temperature problem since I never happened before a couple of years ago, and never when I lived in Paris, under a much cooler climate...
So, last February I finally decided to return my recently ordered bottle with the tainted content. It took a couple of weeks to get a refund. Much to my regret, I decided that this would be my last order for that oil.
However, when I found out that L'Occitane had released a new, opaque container, I gave it a try, assuming that they had found the cause that make their oil emulsion unstable, and that the new container would be the silver bullet...
Unfortunately, the opaque container provides no solution to the change in texture. I rather suspect that the only reason for that new design is to attempt to conceal the problem, rather than solving it.
It is very disappointing from a brand that used to be so great, and my favorite

Doesn't foam - what's all the fuss about? 1
Eli in Cali from San Jose, CA
What a huge disappointment! This product does not foam AT ALL on my wet skin. How could it possibly cleanse if all I can do is spread it around? Will never buy again. On a positive note, it smells fantastic....it's just useless unfortunately.
LOVE THIS STUFF 5
candyrain33 from Brooklyn, NY
Bought the big bottle of this and have been in love ever since. The smell is amazing and I love the way it makes my skin feel. I use this in combination with the other almond products like the body oil, milk concentrate or almond body balm. Absolutely amazing and I would recommend this to everyone.
Love this! 5
JV from Hamilton, OH
Lovely and light Smells great. Especially good through the dry winter months.
I wouldn't buy this product again 1
Lapochka from Peekskill, NY
Smells amazing and it makes your skin smooth and soft. But I didn't like this product, because second Ingredients has a Laureth Sulfate, Fourth ingredient is Parfum/ Fragrance. They are Toxic chemicals :(
Favorite product 5
Chiquita from Queens, NY
This is amazing specially in the summer days after being in the sun all day. This helps to keep your smith smooth and I feel my tan last longer.
Love This Product! 5
Caroline from Nampa, ID
This wonderful shower oil , appears to be an oil, but when applying turns into a soft milky shower wash. I also have the straight oil, which I mix a small amount into the shower oil...Best way to go!!! ..Also, most beautiful fragrance!
Definitely will buy again 5
Hockeyluv71 from Corpus Christi, TX
It smells amazing and my skin is so supple and smooth after I use it
Forever purchase it. 5
kreysa from New York
There is no words to discribe how good thus shower oil is. Yes it is pricey for what you get but so so worth it. I have eczamas on my arms and this oil softens them up and keep mouisturized them for long time. Always will be purchase.
Amazing 5
daydream from Oregon
This is the only product I can use to shave under my arms without getting razor burn, and not have a slippery, oily tub at the same time. I normally would use a body oil or Vaseline type of product to shave with, but would then slip around in the tub, plus ruin the razor very quickly. This provides the skin protection of an oil, but rinses very cleanly. The only downside is the price.
Fabulous! 5
Kanela from Downey
This product is absolutely fabulous! Keeps skin hydrated and smells magnificent.
Amazing! 5
C. Miller from Dallas, TX
While visiting the store for the first time to buy my boyfriends mom a birthday gift, I sampled this stuff and was instantly sold! Felt absolutely amazing and I found it hard to keep using things I had used for years. This will definitely be the only product I will be using!
Excellent 5
Chris from USA
I can't change to other shower after I try that one
Impressive product 5
Gregory G. from Glendale, CA
I tried their sample in the store, and was really amazed how great this product is. Im afraid that I might feel uncomfortable about the grease it will leave on my skin, but suprisingly not. Yes I bought 3 shower gel.
Soft and Glowy skin 5
Jey from US
Ladies, use this as a "shaving gel". Your skin won't even need lotion after shaved. You'll thank me later!
Planning to always have this on hand 5
Natalie d from Fresno
This product leaves my skin soft and has a lovely smell. I think I'll pamper myself and use it all the time.
The almond products are just magic for my skin! 5
Lovie from Memphis
I have dry skin and the almond shower oil has helped to moisturize and smooth my skin. To say I love this product is an understatement and I buy it routinely. I have never had any other skin product work so well for me. My skin is soft and so velvety after a shower. I hope L'Occitane never stops the almond products.
