Small problem - but great product

Yes, I recommend this

I love the product which I have bought several times, but when this particular order arrived, one of the plungers on one the bottles had broken off completely. Fortunately I had bought two bottles which is why I haven't returned the one with the broken plunger - I can simply replace one for the other when the first bottle is finished, but the packing wasn't great or protective enough.

I find it works for my sensitive skin

Yes, I recommend this

I have very sensitive skin and this just works perfectly. And reasonably priced. What's not to like. Haven't Marks and Spencer changed!

Big glass bottle

Love the size of this and like that it’s glass,seems more luxurious than the plastic bottles.Waiting for the refill pouch to become available. Wish M&S did more of these large glass bottles in different Apothecary fragrances.Calm is my fave but also love Restore and Sleep.

Great product but dangerous bottle

Good product with very pleasant smell but not happy with it being in a heavy glass bottle. It slid into our ceramic basin, did no damage but I have now transferred the contents into a refillable plastic bottle.

Part of a Christmas present as took advantage of the 25% sparks offers. The bottle looks nice but can't comment on its contents.

Great smell , bottle very heavy.

I love the “calm scent of this hand wash & bought the larger size online. Being partially sighted I was worried about dropping it over the sink & causing damage. Please can we have a plastic refillable bottle in the larger size, glass is far too heavy in this size.
