I bought this while on holiday in Greece, and spent some time sniffing my way through the different fragrances. I tend to like fresh, citrusy fragrances in showergel, but Korres Citrus didn't appeal to me (too masculine), and after having a hard time to decide between whether to choose Spearmint or Mint Tea, I went for the latter. So far, so good. This showergel is decent enough; it has a quite slippery texture, yet produces a certain amount of lather, unlike e.g. REN showergels (which I much prefer). But the scent has done the opposite of growing on me. It doesn't at all smell of mint tea, but has a rather unpleasant masculine note which fortunately doesn't linger. But since life is too short to use not-quite-there products, I will use it up (or rather: trick my hb into using it) and not look back.

Pros: Smells fantastic while you're using it, leaves skin feeling moisturized and soft, price (if you get it on sale- I got it on Hautelook for about 5)
Cons: Doesn't lather very much (I use a Salux bath cloth- it absolutely did not lather as much as my regular liquid Dove soap). The smell does not stay on the skin, so while you will feel minty fresh whilst showering, it won't last very long. And... price, if you pay full price.

I would not purchase this at full price, but at the price I paid for it, sure. So I'll give it a yes.

to be honest, i dont think 'mint tea' smelt all that minty! the smell doesnt linger after your shower, and the product doesnt foam like most shower gels seem to. if you dont mind it, it still feels pretty cleansed up afterwards!

i fell in love with this in england on holidays but didnt want to purchase it as it was pricey compared to like, supermarket stuff. ended up getting it in germany because i just could not resist, and honestly, it was so much cheaper in UK !!

ive done alot of research and i know greece has it best $ wise. from experience, UK was cheaper than Germany, but it is A KILLER IN SINGAPORE AND AUSTRALIA !!

if you get to travel, stock up! in aus, its not even that easier to find a place that sells a good range either

I like this product. It has no parabens or harsh ingredients and you can get it for a fair price. It doesn't dry my skin and it foams well so it's easy to work with. As for the smell it's nice and fresh, but sometimes it reminds me too much of a perfume for men, so maybe this is a good showergel for your man! I prefer the one with the Japanese Rose scent which is such a relaxing and cosy smell.

This was a nice clean and zippy shower gel to use in the morning and in the hot summer months.I recommend this to anyone who is a fan of "mint" body products. This mint scent smells so clean and fresh and leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. This is also another great unisexed product if you have to share a bathroom with a dude!

I didn't expect to love this as much as I do. First of all the smell is great, very unisex and fresh. It also lathers very well with my Salux cloth and leaves me clean yet moisturized and soft. I don't think I'd buy it at full price; can't see myself spending around $15 on a wash, but I got it at TJ Maxx for a good price. I will definitely be buying again.

I absolutely love this shower gel. It smells great and cleanses thoroughly without stripping the natural oils from my skin. I also use it as a shave gel on my armpits when I'm in a hurry. I'm on my second bottle and will definitely continue to repurchase.

Okay, I love this stuff, its great and wonderful smelling and ah! I just love it, but I also am big on natural products, no parabens and all that, It kills me, but I don't see how they can call this shower gel "Natural" because its full of chemicals! (tear!) So I'm going to use it all up and enjoy it but I can't buy it again because I really think chemicals are bad for your body!

i think this is my new favorite shower gel. its light and refreshing. it smells more of an herbely mint and not a true peppermint so it is nice break from the usual mint fragrances available on the market. it lathers very well and doesn't dry my skin out. it has a large amount of natural ingredients in it (which i love). the only thing that upsets me is that right afer i bought this product, i went to sephora again and they didn't have it and they haven't gotten anymore in in the past 2 months. hopefully, i can buy this again because i absolutely need more of this.

I have been using Korres Mint Tea shower gel for about two years now and still love it. It does not dry out or irritate my sensitve skin, and the scent is wonderful year-round.

I love this stuff, it has a very refreshing scent, I agree with one of the other reviewers that it is a unisex scent. Anyway I think it smells delicious, and will definately repurchase.

Mint Tea. A nice clean scented shower gel that's not overly strong. It's refreshing to use in the shower & smells lovely but doesn't compete with fragrances if you wear perfume. It lathers nicely and a little goes a long way: One bottle last me about 2 months, they're small-ish (8.45oz) & use it at least 1X/day. Leaves my skin feeling clean & moisturized but not film-y like other creamy "moisturizing" body washes. Only negative is I wish the bottle was made of "squeezer" friendly plastic.

What I love about Korres' Mint Tea shower gel is that the mint smell is true mint--herbal and lovely and fresh. If you are expecting something reminiscent of York Peppermint Patties, look elsewhere. I am impressed with the quality of their soaps, and since they're so lathery I occasionally use them as bubble bath.

I bought this for my sister for last Xmas from Sephora. She and her husband loved it. So last summer while in Greece I decided to get myself some (and more for her.) It's a crisp, sparkling scent, unisex in my opinion. My mom thinks it's masculine.

I love the way it lathers and it's moisturizing without being creamy. I like that the smell is very unique and not the generic drugstore smell.

Gorgeous! Not sharp mint, but very soft, lingering mint tea scent, simply devine. Leathers well, washes out well, my favourite so far from Korres! I don't find it very masculine, just lovely, refreshing and mild.

great packaging, great scent (all korres stuff smells similar), and it moisturizes well (i'm not overly dry). overall perfection.

Just got some in a swap and I'm loving this so far. I've decided to buy more stuff in this scent for summer. This is actually nothing terribly special, but the scent is a perfect blend of tea and light mint, very subtle and will be great for summer. I don't find it masculine but I'll have to sniff some more to see if i can pick this up (not that I want to). The formula is fine but not remarkable; my skin felt nice although I usually prefer sulfate-free stuff for no particular reason.
