Home Bargains has built a reputation for offering affordable beauty and homeware finds, and its latest viral product is no exception. The budget retailer's Eternite Almond Shower Oil, priced at just £2.49, has been hailed as an incredible alternative to the L'Occitane version that costs £43 per bottle.
Shoppers Rave About the Affordable Dupe
Social media users have been sharing their excitement over the product, with one TikToker's video garnering over 286,000 views. The clip shows the luxurious-looking shower oil on display at a local Home Bargains, prominently featuring the bargain price tag.
Many viewers have flocked to the comments to express their amazement. One person said: "I have this! Didn't even know what it was a dupe of but bought it to try. It's incredible, my skin has never felt so soft." Another wrote: "I have the real and bought this one and they're both so lovely on the skin and smell lush."
What Makes It a Good Alternative?
According to the packaging, the Eternite Almond Shower Oil contains almond oil and provides lightweight, non-greasy moisture to nourish the skin while keeping it feeling refreshed. To use, simply apply to damp skin in the shower, massage gently to cleanse and soften, then rinse thoroughly.
While fans have been singing the oil's praises, some note that it doesn't quite measure up to the more premium L'Occitane version in terms of scent longevity. In response to a question about the scent's staying power, the TikTok creator said: "It's not as long lasting as the L'Occitane one no, but it still has a good noticeable scent, foams the same and leaves the skin soft."
Where to Buy
The Home Bargains shower oil is not available to purchase online, so you'll need to visit your nearest branch to pick up a bottle. If you prefer to splurge on the original, it costs £43 from L'Occitane.
For those who want a richer shower gel, The Body Shop's Almond Milk Shower Cream is a decent alternative at £8.50 for a medium-sized bottle, while Oliver Bonas offers a Sweet Almond Shower Gel for £9.50.
