The SMELL. This is my first time trying this product, and I was skeptical to be honest, I had not heard about the brand at all. But what caught my attention was the bottle. At first I thought it’s a glass bottle but didn’t sound like it, it’s aluminum! I have never seen a packaging like this. Then I opened the tester and saw the color!!!! Ohh it’s green gel, and smell is AMAZINGGG. First day of trying, and my goodness. Loved how it made my skin sooo soft and buttery and smelling so clean and refreshing. The smell relaxes you while smelling like a flower garden. It’s also very very hydrating.
This was my first product from this brand, I see they have Cream in this Duo, next up to try that. So glad I came across this product. And can’t rave enough about it.

A Powerfully Aromatic Daily Body Wash
While the Noplera brand is new to me - my experience with shower gels is abundant. Especially as someone with very dry sensitized skin on my body. The Dulce de Cuepro promised a bathing/shower experience unlike any other while still cleansing and nourishing and preserving the integrity of the skin. And I can say the product was solid but not a showstopper for my needs. The gel is green and not the most viscous but it easily spreads without much emulsion. Immediately while applying the product I was hit with a very bright perfume-y floral woodsy note. As I lathered the gel it smoothed into nice silky texture; the perfumed floral notes settles into a fresh light fruity floral that may have been the prickly pear. I adored the bottom note it was relaxing and unobtrusive. The gel was truly moisture balancing on my dry skin—with inclusion of the cactus flower extract and the prickly pear, it left my textured arms considerably smoother and body as a whole felt clean but not squeaky clean. I will say the dispenser did not get out enough product at a time for my tastes. I definitely had to use more product at a time because there wasn’t much dispersion in the amount I got at a time. I was clean but I did feel as I used this I got tight in my super dry areas (legs feet) with 2x daily use. And the smell was super strong and in (my warm/hotter) the shower, that I sneezed a lot. So I see this as suited toward a more weekend relaxing routine use for me. This review was collected as part of a promotion.

I'm Obsessed!
This amazing shower gel exceeded my expectations in every way. Nordstrom describes it as "a silky body gel," but I'm blown away by just how silky it is. And it really protects my skin's moisture barrier. I love a hot shower -- even knowing how really bad that is for my skin -- but this gel leaves me feeling clean and refreshed after showering, and water beads up on my wet skin.
Similarly, I expected a "smoky, yet sweet scent" but I had no idea how wonderfully soothing that scent would be. To those who are concerned about strong scents: I'm extremely sensitive to chemical smells and many botanicals, but this is unlike anything I've ever smelled before and I honestly cannot imagine anyone not loving it. It's been a great find for me and I expect it'll be the last shower gel I ever use. I love it!
Very much looking forward to experimenting with other products from this line.

Lovely Body Wash
Love the smell, doesn’t strip my skin of moisture, leaves me soft & feeling clean. Lathers well also. Beautiful packaging. Very aesthetically pleasing in the shower. I only wish I received more product for the price.

Love everything about it!
I was hesitant to purchase this shower gel after reading some reviews. But, I decided to try it, and I love it! The scent is earthy, but in a good way, and not overpowering at all. I also like the size of the aluminum bottle. It doesn’t take much to make a lather, so it should last quite awhile. I highly recommend it.

Amazing for sensitive skin
I have used several shower gels and my skin cannot take it. I saw the story of this brand and decided to try it. I am so grateful I did. My skin is healing and I am using this every day. You have no idea how relieved I am to find a great product like this.

Expected More
I used the Nopalera cactus shower gel for about a week and sadly I wished I had liked it more. My cons: the scent felt overwhelming in the shower, a bit too sweet for me and I do like sweet scents! I also expected the shower gel to lather more, sadly I had to keep pumping more into my sponge so that I could finish scrubbing my whole body. It felt like my product would not last a long time. Pros: the packaging does feel of great quality, and it is easy to open and close; I did like the scent the shower gel left in my skin after the shower, which was light and sweet. Overall I do think if it lathered more I could give it more stars because it could last longer, but I am not too convinced at the time. I expected more from the product especially because prickly pears smell delicious. This review was collected as a part of a promotion.
