Fury as well-known shower gel brand sneakily cuts amount in bottle but keeps price the same

RADOX has sneakily cut the shower gel in new eco-friendly bottles — and dropped handy hooks.

The top brand’s 250ml containers now have 225ml — but still cost £1.

Bigger bottles shrunk from 500ml to 450ml but still cost about £1.75.

Users slammed the shrinkflation and the loss of the shower hook.

One wrote on Tesco’s website: “Reduced in size and useful handle removed. Same price as before, rubbish.”

Another tweeted: “Smaller bottle, higher price, no hook.”

Radox said the bottles were redesigned so they can be refilled.

Owner Unilever said: “The retail price of our products is always at the sole discretion of the retailer.”

The firm’s Chris Barron said: “The hook’s been a feature of Radox gels but removing them is the right thing to do to reduce single-use plastic.”
