I was given the opportunity to try L’Occitane’s Nourishing Whipped Almond cleaner, complementary, in exchange for an honest review. This body wash is a delightfully airy and creamy body cleanser that has a floral scent. Unfortunately, I hate to say, but I actually did not end up liking this product. I first tried using the cleanser with just my hands to wash my body. But that didn’t work because the cleanser, even though it does foam a little but, would just wash away immediately. So then I tried using a bath poof. While this made the cleanser last better, I found that I had to use A LOT of product to be able to wash my whole body from head to toe. With this in mind, I don’t think this cleanser is going to last very long at all, and at $40 a tube, it’s not exactly ideal. I also found that after showering, the cleanser left me feeling like I had a film on my skin, and after a few washes, I realized that the residue on my skin was making me hot – as in, hot flashes type hot. Once I stopped using the cleanser, both the filmy residue and hot flashes, if you will, stopped. So while I’m grateful for getting to try this product out, I will not be purchasing it in future.
