summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect shower gel, and Le Petit Marseillais 'Strawberry Provence' is a decent contender. While it's not my top pick, it's a solid option for those looking for a budget-friendly gel with a lovely aroma. The strawberry scent is a nice change of pace from the usual citrusy smells, and the gel lathers up nicely, leaving my skin feeling clean. However, its liquid consistency and high consumption rate are major drawbacks. I have to reapply the gel multiple times during my shower due to its high consumption rate, which can be a hassle. The packaging is convenient and easy to use, but it's not the most eco-friendly option. Overall, it's worth considering, but don't expect it to blow you away. If you're in the market for a new shower gel, I'd recommend checking out the Love Beauty and Planet gel instead – it's a game changer. That being said, Le Petit Marseillais 'Strawberry Provence' is still a decent choice for those who want a hassle-free shower experience. Just be prepared for some extra trips to the shower to reapply.

Le Petit Marseillais 'Strawberry Provence' Gel Review

Hello there! :) I'm excited to share my thoughts on the Le Petit Marseillais 'Strawberry Provence' gel, a shower gel that's part of my summer refresher routine. As I've mentioned before, gels for showering are all pretty similar, but after trying out the Love Beauty and Planet gel, I realized that even in this segment, there are good products and ones that are best avoided.

So, if you can find that perfect gel - or a few, for that matter - you'll have one less thing to worry about when you're shopping. Today, I'm going to tell you about my contender for the 'favourite' spot, which fell just a bit short.

🍓 General Info 🍓

Type - shower gelBrand - Le Petit MarseillaisA little about the brand:

So, what is Le Petit Marseillais? It's a brand that's true to its Provence roots, and wants to bring a little joy into your daily life with its products. Our motto? The joy of living. It's about those everyday little pleasures, simple things, and a nature full of sunshine.

Country - FranceVolume - 250ml (I've seen 650ml packs too)Where to buy? Pretty much anywhere, I'd say. I bought mine at 'Rainbow Smile' for 79 rubles.Price ranges from 79 to 159 rubles. Currently, the brand has released a larger volume - 650ml - which is definitely the better value.xa0

🍓Appearance 🍓

The Le Petit Marseillais 'Strawberry Provence' gel comes in the classic brand packaging, red in colour, with the product name, logo, and a juicy strawberry on the front.

Le Petit Marseillais "Клубника прованса" I was a bit disappointed with the back label - all the important info is there, but the text is so tiny it's a real strain on the eyes.

Le Petit Marseillais "Клубника прованса" Composition and main info Product description from the manufacturer: This strawberry scented shower gel from Le Petit Marseillais will leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed. Neutral pH for sensitive skin.

99% biodegradable formula* The gel bottle is 100% recyclable Moisturizing plant-based ingredient** *99% biodegradable ingredients **glycerin

Ingredients: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract, Polyquaternium-7, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Parfum, Limonene, CI 14700, CI 16035.

Instructions for use: Apply to wet skin, lather, and rinse.

I like how the packaging is designed for easy use - the ridges on the sides keep the gel from slipping out of your hands, and the rectangular shape makes it easy to grip.

It's all pretty straightforward, with no frills, but all the necessary info is there.

Le Petit Marseillais "Клубника прованса"Opening this gel is a breeze, and it closes tightly, like a flip-top lid. I took it on a trip and nothing leaked out.Dosage control is a non-starter.

Le Petit Marseillais "Клубника прованса"There was no protection against opening when I bought it – not even a sticker or a label. That's a bit of a letdown.xa0

🍓 Sensory Experience 🍓

I'd heard from friends that all Le Petit Marseillais products have distinctive, often overpowering fragrances. When you first open the lid, the smell can be pretty overwhelming. It's like a chemical hit of strawberry that's hard to process at first.

But don't let that scare you off – the fragrance mellows out when you start using it. You begin to appreciate the bright, fruity scent, but it doesn't overpower you. The chemical notes in the fragrance fade away, and you're left with the sweet aroma of fresh strawberries on a summer day.

Consistency of Le Petit Marseillais "Клубника прованса" GelConsistency. That's where things fell apart for me – the gel is way too runny, and since there's no dosage control, it's hard to get the amount you need. The gel itself is clear with a slight reddish tint, no lumps or sparkles in sight.

🍓 The Gel in Action and its Effects 🍓

I've already mentioned that the gel's consistency is way too runny, making it hard to control how much gets onto the loofah.The foam, on the other hand, forms nicely and feels great on the skin, spreading evenly.During use, the shower fills with a lovely, non-irritating scent of strawberry.

So, in the end, Le Petit Marseillais' gel performed as a solid "B" student – it would've easily earned an "A" if only the gel's consistency was just a bit thicker.Effects. The manufacturer gets points for not making any promises or setting unrealistic expectations. But we still expect a body wash to deliver:

Cleansing;Moisturizing;No irritation.Cleansing is definitely there – I don't feel the need to wash again after using it, and no residue is left on the skin. Moisturizing is present, but to a limited extent. After use, my skin feels smooth and pleasant to the touch, with no allergic reactions or irritation on my skin or my husband's.

🍓 Takeaways 🍓

I'm blown away by the scent, the price is great, the packaging is super convenient to use, and the only thing holding me back from making it a repeat purchase is that I like to control how much product I use.

Still, I can definitely recommend Le Petit Marseillais' strawberry body wash. Especially now that it's fall and the nostalgia for summer is kicking in – this gel will not only smell amazing but also do its job.

Just be prepared for a less-than-economical usage rate.
