Best Exfoliating Soap I've Found
Scent: Cedar, Size: 7.73 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I've tried a bunch of exfoliating soaps, including Dr. Squatch and Marlowe. Dr. Squatch is SUPER overpriced and the "heavy grit" is a joke. Marlowe is amazing but the exfoliation is either too hard or too soft. This is my soap. I've reordered three times. The exfoliation is perfect. The scent is light and good and doesn't get old. The lather is superb and just the right amount of moisturizing. The bars are large, and if I had one complaint it's that they usually break in half once they get thin enough from the length, but still easily earns 5 stars. I'll be reordering these as long as they exist and the price stays right.

Nice Soap - Not as Gritty or Intense as I was Hoping
This has been a good, but not great soap. I'm happy with it, but will detail some pros and cons for those considering ordering: Pros: - Good size and long lasting (one bar for a month or so). - Good soap texture. This lathers up well, rinses off easily, and leaves your skin feeling moisturized. - Good scent. - Good texture. Cons: - Scent is not as strong as I'd like. Not a big issue, but my personal preference would be to have the scent be a bit stronger and linger after use. - Texture is okay. You can feel the leaves in the soap, but it's in now way exfoliating. I hope this review is helpful! Rating System: 5 Star: Meets or exceeds all expectations; glad to have ordered! ****4 Star: Meets expectations with only a minor issue**** 3 Star: Below expectations with significant issue(s) or poor item description 2 Star: Significant quality issues - very disappointed with order 1 Star: Cannot recommend purchasing under any condition

Amazing Bar Soap!
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I am so pleased with my purchase of this soap! Not only does it have natural ingredients that are good for the skin, but it works better than most real soaps I’ve ever tried! It is very moisturizing, yet doesn’t leave a film behind and rinses off quickly and cleanly. It has really calmed down my extremely sensitive skin even more so than dermatologist recommended body washes and soap. It seems like a lot of dermatologists recommend non-soap products as being more comforting to sensitive skin. However,, I have found that old-fashioned soap that undergoes saponification tend to be gentler to my skin and less prone to causing dry skin and a compromised skin barrier. Amongst the real soaps there is of course variation in performance depending on the types of oils and additives they use. This soap has the perfect blend of oils and additives that create a super sudsy and moisturizing bar of soap. The scent is very light, but it has the perfect amount where you can smell the soap ingredients a bit mixed with the perfect amount of scent. The scents are very addicting and I randomly enjoy just smelling the bar because they smell that good. If you’re on the fence about this soap, just give it a try. I have been very pleased with it and will definitely purchase it again. A very fair price for the quality you’re getting.
