"very good product"
I tried this on my 4 year old son.
The smell is lovely and it's remove the smell of chlorine from your body. This is body wash as well as body sampoo so it not too expensice for £ 2.54. My son goes swimming every week so it is perfect for him.
I would love to recommend this product to other.

"Worth the wait!!"
I had to wait a while to test this product as they have just bulldozed our local swimming pool! So had to wait until holiday time to take the two terrors swimming at the nearest, decent pool!!
Afterswim is fab. It didn't take up too much room in the bag, all of us were able to use it without it causing any problems (Hubby has mild excema and some showergel's & body washes make him itchy, but he was fine with this)
It had a lovely smell which made the kids more keen to use it as they wanted to smell like it!!
It went it Josh's eyes as he was rinsing his heair out & it didin't seem to nip them (he certainly didn't moan like he usually does!)
The only think I would say is that it doesn't have enough conditioner in it for long curly hair, but stuill made the hair feel as if it had been washed rather than still being full of chlorine, just left Jenny's hair a bit tuggy.
I wouid say it is excellet value for money, saves you carrying loads of bottles around with you & makes you smell nice - what more do you need!! It gets a big thumbs up from me!

"All in 1 bottle!"
I think the Vosene Kids Afterswim is fab! I used it on all 3 of my boys (aged 2, 4 & 6). It was much easier than carrying a few bottles to do the different jobs of bodywash & shampoo etc. The smell was gorgeous & really got rid of the chlorine smell. My boys all have short hair & I don't use conditioner on them, so it was fab for us, although I think a separate conditioner may still be needed for girls hair, especially if it's long and/or curly!
The bottle is a really modern & fun design, so the kids were really happy to try the new shampoo/bodywash & they loved the smell too. My eldest likes to wash himself & he found the bottle design really easy to use.
The price may seem a bit expensive, but I would be happy to pay it because of how good the product is & how many uses it has. I would recommend it to other parents without a doubt :)

"Smells yummy"
We tried this on my 4 year old daughter, as we were reluctant to try it on our son as it said not recommended for under 3's.
It smelled lovely, and completely removed the smell of chlorine, we usually only take a 'normal' shampoo and have to wash her hair twice to remove the smell. It is also a body wash, which is ideal as you don't have to carry loads of different bottles, and the flip top makes it even easier to use. The fact that it is tear-free is great! Meant less whinging whilst showering.
Only downside is that it didn't leave her hair as soft as her usual shampoo does. But we only go swimming a few times a year at the moment so this is not really a big problem.
You get a decent amount in the tube, more than enough to last for our few trips to the pool. I intially thought that £2.54 is quite expensive for a shampoo, but then realised that it is a bodywash too...so the price is reasonable when you put this into consideration. Would definately recommend this to other people.

"Space saver"
I loved this. First thing i found great was just having to take this with me, no shampoo just this as you can use it for body and hair so a great space saver. That's always a plus with 3 little kiddies :) The smell was lovely no more nasty swimming smell with this i love it. The kids smelt lovely when we got back in the car :) Being in a tube and the easy flip lid was great no more spills in the shower for me. I think i've found myself a winner here as its great vavule for money and im will be for sure buying it again. My son learns to swim from school starting summer next year so this will be going in his bag. Its a great product.

"Great Product"
My memories of vosene from a child has completly changed! A great product. A tube - easy for all to use, bright and appealing for kids. Fruity fragerance which alone is very nice but also gets rid of that bleechie chlorine smell. It doubles up as a shower wash which is also space saving. The whole family have been happy to use it but not too much left after two swims! Fare price too when you think it's a shampoo, conditioner & body wash!!! Well done x

"Great for Everyone"
Firstly I was surprised at the smell, it was lovely. My childhood Vosene shampoo never smelt like this! Being in a tube was great and handy and the packaging was "fun" so my daughter wanted to use it. I've used this on numerous occasions and the tube is still going as you don't need a lot to lather. The last day we went swimming it was used for: me, gran, grandad and Kayleigh. Great reviews from all. My hair is bleached and can become very unmanageable after getting wet, it wasn't any worse using this BUT after I dried my hair, it was silky smooth and had such a shine to it. A shine that I've never had in my hair before! Good price as it ticks all the boxes and lasts a long time. Well done Vosene!

"smells great"
We used this on a recent weekend away. The bottle is a handy size and the cap easy to use. I thought the fragrance was lovely and fruity. It lather up well and was a great body wash. No stingy eyes when rinsed off so a big bonus. I actually forgot my shampoo so used this instead with conditioner and it worked fine with my long hair. Overall a very nice product-ideal for after swimming or everyday use.

"Smells lovely!"
We live in a seaside town so I've used this a couple of times after beach visits. It's a great product that smells lovely it's foams well and as it's a combined shampoo and conditioner itsa space saver. My kids looved using it and there were no complaints fromthem ( except the usual bathtime woe of water in eyes!) thecap is handy for doing things one handed as well!
Only downside is that it's quite pricey so wouldn't use it all the time prob just after swimming.
Overall a great easy to use product that does what it says on the tin!

"Not for long hair"
I headed off to the pool with my 5 & 10 year olds, nearly forgot to pack the afterswim, so not a good start lol. Had a fun time in the water and then it was time to get out, not so much fun trying to drag the 5 year old out! Collected the afterswim from our locker and got everyone under the showers. It was easy to use and smelled nice, so I washed my daughter's hair (the now stroppy 5 year old) and let my 10 year old sort himself out. No complaints about my 10 year old and his mega short hair, but daughter has long hair and I found that even as I was washing it it felt 'dry'. Once it was all rinsed off I knew at once I was going to struggle with brushing it. It was all knotted and tangled and it didn't feel anywhere near as soft as it does with our usual swim shampoo. I had a few screams and tears as I tried to put a brush through it, so I didn't think much of the 'conditioning' aspect of the product. It did get rid of the chlorine smell from hair and skin which was fab, but the fact that I will need to take a separate conditioner or a detangle spray for my daughter really defeats the purpose of an all in one hair & body wash. My son will happily take it to use all by himself, so it is getting a thorough run through with him, but I'm afraid I've returned to our usual swim shampoo for my daughter.

"Saves Time and Smells Great!"
I have four children. Two boys aged 11 and 3 and two girls 9 and 11 months who all love swimming. The only problem is having to get out of the pool afterwards and wash everyone in the shower to get rid of the smell of chlorine. Especially when trying to carry a wriggling 11 month old, a bottle of shampoo, conditioner and body wash and pulling a struggling three year old toddler behind
I found that the Vosene Kids Afterswim did the job of washing both the hair and body perfectly and even I used it too. There was no smell of chlorine after using this and the fact that it was no more tears made it even better to use on the children. My daughter and I have shoulder length hair and although it didn't give mean the conditioning of my usual shampoo and conditioner it did leave my hair smelling fresh and clean.
I did use it on my 11 month old daughter, with no ill effects, although on the container it did say 'Do not use on children under 3' (not sure why).
I found the tube an ideal size to fit in my swimming bag. When we go swimming there are two adults and four children so anything that reduces the amount of items that we have to take is great in my books.
The liquid had a mild foam which did clean great and this size bottle would last our family a few swimming trips.
This is a great smelling, time saving product. Ideal for swimming and holidays because of the compact size but a little bit too expensive to be used as an everyday product.

"Does what it says"
I used this on the kids after swimming and it does neutralise the smell of the pool. It's good as a body wash too and left the kids Skin soft. The smell wasn't the best one I've had though.

My favourite bit about this product is the smell i love it! the flip cap makes it easy to use when in the showers with 2 young children. its great value for money as its a hair and body wash and you havent got to worry about taking 2 products. Left the skin smelling lovely and and was nice on their hair aswell. I would definately recommend this product and i will definately be buying it again. Love it

"Good Product"
I took this product with us to a beach holiday recently - I thought it was great, it smelled really nice and because it was for hair and body there was no fussing from my son as i was able to use one bottle.
I wasn't convinced that it was going to rid the chlorine smell after pool use but it did and my son who usually hates having his hair washed was joining in with the washing!
I would really recommend this.

"smells nice"
I am impressed with the vosene afterswim wash.
It smells nice - like melons and it makes the skin lovely and soft.
My son has eczema and this was gentle enough to use.
Both my boys have short hair so I couldn't say if this made their hair soft but it did smell nice and looked clean
Great size for a swim bag and the no tears formula is a great idea as the kids can do it by themselves!

"Good for Swimming"
My 2 older boys go swimming weekly so this was great to use on them after a swim. It lathered up well and smelled nice (though not sure it smells like melon as it says on the bottle). It cleaned their hair and skin well and removed the chlorine although probably no better than the normal wash that we use.
There is a warning on the bottle - 'Do not use on children under 3 years'which makes me wonder what is in the wash.
It is good that the wash has 'no tears formula'.
Before I recommended it to anyone I would want to find out why under 3's can't use it.

"lathered well"
I got this product 2 days before we went on holiday so it came at a great time as my girls spent alot of time swimming, so this shampoo and wash was used everyday whilst we were on holiday.
The product smelt nice, but to me, it didnt really smell like melon as advertised, but it did have a pleasent smell to it, which lathered very well.
In all honesty i didnt find it made the girls hair any different to what their usual brand of shampoo does although my 3 and 6 year old were pleased it had the "no tears" formula.
I think i would definately use it again as it is in a handy bottle to pack in the swimming bags and i would reccomend it to friends.
