Sensitive Facial

I purchased this facial bar over a month ago for several reasons.1: I wanted to reduce my plastic usage. I hadn't realised how many plastic bottles I was going through in the bathroom and I wanted a sustainable, non plastic product which I could easily use, and to suit my budget.2: I wanted to purchase a face wash which was online, so a repeat purchase was easy. I've been neglecting my facial care for a while- moving from skin care brand regularly in order to get a better deal, not necessarily suiting my needs. 3: I wanted a facial product which wouldn't react to my sensitive skin. I have a mixture of combination and sensitive skin- it dries easily and spots appear mainly on my forehead.I saw this product and I thought for £4, it would be a good starting point in my zero plastic, skincare journey.On initial arrival, I was really pleased to see this little bar arrive in a cardboard box. This reassure me that this was a sustainable product, and that wastage would be minimal. The aroma can only be described as "an old bar of soap" smell- very distinctive and not very attractive.On first use, I wet my face and the bar and I made a lather. It didn't take long and I applied it to my face and started to use the generic, circular motion to cleanse. It wasn't abrasive, it felt very gentle and it was easy to control it.After rinsing and drying, my face felt clean: It wasn't greasy and it was noticeably more even, but it was slightly drying with my skin type. In addition, the noticeable smell from opening stuck to my skin, but overall, not too bad for a first cleanse.I have used this product for over a month now and I can definitely see a noticeable different with my pores on my chin and cheeks: they have reduced in size! Less spots have been appearing, my skin is more balanced and it has benefited from the natural ingredients. The bar didn't go mushy, much like a bar of soap would, and it dried very well (even when it was covered in water, it was always dry by the next morning). In addition, I have been using this twice every day and it has barely reduced in size- I don't know how long this would last but it is definitely longer than a typical 500ml face wash bottle. Also, the overpowering smell fades away with more use and it actually have a very pleased aroma now!The only downside which I can really admit is that it really stung when it got in my eyes! This was only a problem when I tried to remove my mascara, but I no longer attempt it.Overall I am really impressed with this product as I can see a fantastic difference with my face. This will be a brilliant base to my skin care routine, and I have already started to add some more products in (serum, toner, moisturizer) to get healthier and even skin. Advice when using: invest in a portable soap dish. It allowed me to pack the soap bar away, take it in my toiletries bag, and avoided the chance that someone else might use it. These can be found in Poundland, or online. :)

Been using this soap a couple of weeks now and I love it. I feel like it's improved the condition of my skin, clearer and softer. I have combination skin and it dries it a little but so use a bit of moisturiser after. The scent is pleasant and it lathers up well. I feel like I'm helping the environment by using it, saving on plastic.Value for money too!Would recommend!

I bought the sensitive face wash. My skin is ridiculously reactive and incredibly sensitive, so trying something new is always a gamble.First of all I love how you only need a small amount of product to get a really good lather, I wet my hands and barely touch the bar and it was plenty.Secondly and most amazing, I've had a small patch of dry skin on my nose for years. I've tried all sorts to get rid of it, but nothing has ever worked. After using this face wash for only 3 days the dry patch has completely gone, and the face wash is the only thing I've changed, everything else is the exact same. I'm astonished, I've spent hundreds of pounds on things and all I needed was this little bar of miracles.And thirdly, my skin feels incredible, it doesn't feel as itchy or as tight. And it's as soft as a babies bum. I'm very happy so far. Once I know how long a bar will last me I'll be setting up a subscribe and save for recurring deliveries and the shampoo bar is next on the list to get

Oh man was I worried when I opened my delivery, the entire box smelled of this soap. Wow it was overpowering, and it wasn't pleasant. I seriously considered sending it back, but I figured the carbon footprint of having it delivered and sending it back defeated the object of trying to be eco friendly, so I stuck with it...hey worst comes to worst I could use it for shaving my legs.There was no need to worry. On using the soap there's hardly a scent at all. It's lovely to use, lathers up well, doesn't smell, and leaves skin feeling nice and clean.

I make my own soap but i really like this face soap. It's mild, gentle, but gets you nice and clean. I have eczema and sensitive skin but no irritation from this soap.

Lovely soap, lathers well but felt the moisture was really stripped from my face and it was so dry afterwards even though moisturized - felt it stripped the skin too much of natural oils. Will use once a week but stick to my usual facial soap for daily.

Love this facial wash bar, really good on the skin... doesn't leave it dry or irritate it at all, really gentle, smells great too,The shampoo bar is great, leaves hair super squeaky clean, really smells lovely too ... just needs a conditioner bar too as I have to still use conditioner as my hair is quite long, and ends up too tangled if I don't... if it was short I would get away without definitely as really does leave it lovely and clean.Love the scrub bar too ... only one to let me down so far is the shaving bar ... which I could not get to lather up at all ...but will definitely keep buying the others.

This product lasts absolutely ages, easily 6 months using it twice a day.Cleans face nicely and has a nice smell, I repeat buy this product.
