Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower and Bath Gel: The Old Faithful in My Shower

Hmm… I honestly don’t know what Tabs would have said about me if he’d known me back in my Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower and Bath Gel phase ($8 for an 8.5 oz bottle), aka the late ’90s, aka my club kid days.

“Meow,” perhaps?

In his short kitty lifetime, he’s only known me as his cranky, uncool mum — the boring one who hits the haaay every night at 10.

He probably would have liked the late nights and parties because, back then, that’s how I rolled.

My, how things change…

‘Fridge magnet philosophy

Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower and Bath Gel sure takes me back… I’ve been using it off and on for years, at least as far back as the mi-’90s. It’s like the Old Faithful in my shower and keeps returning over and over again.

I guess that’s because it’s a workhorse. I’ve always loved the scent — to my nose a balanced blend of orange, white musk and vanilla — how well it lathers up, how hydrating it is, and that it’s easy to rinse without leaving behind a greasy or sticky film.

It’s weird, but I have memories of seeing the bottle in different showers from my past…

Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: An oldie, but goody, Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower and Bath Gel is priced right. If you like the scent and don’t mind the somewhat dated ingredient profile (sodium laureth sulfate is NOT to be confused with the harsher sodium lauryl sulfate, although both are still synthetic detergents). Available at drugstores and many places online. Grade: A+

What’s the Old Faithful in your shower? Are there any shower/bath products you keep returning to over and over again?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
