What we thought: This is a great-looking gift set packed full of pure chemicals that the recipient is sure to love. Akin products are real quality and this gift set is great value for money. A real 'green gift' for anyone sensitive to chemicals and who really cares about their environment.

What we liked: I applied the pads at night to the bottom of my (clean!)feet. I certainly didn't expect the gungy brown mess that had been extracted by the following morning! The pads are easy-to-use, work while you sleep and simply peel off in the morning.
What we weren't so keen on: It's difficult to ascertain how much of a benefit these pads have. I didn't feel any different; my only evidence that they were doing something was the goo they seemed to be extracting from my feet. I'm not 100% sure that they really are the best shortcut to detoxing your body.

Formulated with soothing Aloe Vera and vitamin bursting Avocado. A small amount is all you need. Pamper yourself and uplift your mind.

What we liked: It's very true. A little bit really does go a long way. You only need a small amount to create a rich and soapy lather that leaves your skin feeling fresh, clean, lovely and smooth.
What we weren't so keen on: There's nothing to dislike about the product other than it's a tad expensive to treat yourself to at £8.50 a tube. However it's a beautiful gift idea as it's certainly luxurious.
