A detailed review of my use. I hope it helps with your decision.

I have read the reviews on this product from multiple sources and decided to try it. I will give my 6 day review on it first and update at about 10 to 14 days.I have seasonal skin. In the spring or summer it's normal to oily and in the winter or fall, it's normal to dry. I do have sensitive skin. I did not find that this soap upset my PH. I don't think it's strong enough to if I'm being honest. My skin was not affected in a sensitive skin way. Even though it is naturally fragrant, I found it mild enough to use on sensitive skin.I bought this soap for two reasons. One, to use as a deep clean or daily clean for my oily facial skin right now as we are experiencing high heat in CA. Two, to help get a deeper clean in areas exposed to less sunlight due to the humidity and heat here. IE. Underarms, under boob, between thighs, and so on. I would not recommend it for personal feminine parts as no fragrant soap is right for that job. Talk to your doctor.The soap did just fine. It not only broke through the oily skin issue, but it didn't dry me out horribly either. Sure it was a little dry, but that it to be expected with a deep cleaning bar soap. I find this soap to be gentle enough for every day or every other day use. My skin was clean. It completely resolved any issues within the first two days. I felt super refreshed and clean. It looked clean and it made my skin glow a bit too. I noticed the redness in my complexion fading as well.It smells wonderful. A lot of the ingredients are pretty good too. I got many compliments on the smell from people around me directly after I showered. It's not overpowering but the perfect amount.A little bit goes a long way. It foams up pretty easy. I could cut the soft bar so I'm not wasting the full bar under the water. This way I could put a bit by the sink in the morning for a quick facial wash or after workout wash.The only gripe I have is the packaging. It's your typical soap box. Simple. Elegant. Clean. However it felt a bit flimsy. It was packaged very well though so it did not arrive damaged.I hope this review helps. I am considering trying all of their product line and leaving reviews. Its pricey so I may take my time.

I FOUND a Winner.

I actually heard about Herbivore Botanicals and always wanted to try their products. I notice that UO (Urban Outfitters) sell there products also, but since I had an Amazon gift card, I checked on Amazon and to see if they had any Herbivore Bontanicals product. I was in luck!Once I saw that they soap was a face/body soap, I immediately had to purchase I been using it for a couple of days now. I must say its smells REALLY good not to strong like a lot of body wash and soaps. But it's a nice cool summer scent. It doesn't particularly smell like florals, more citrusy in my opinion, however I am not complaining.I like they fact that I can use it on my face it DOESNT not dry out my skin. Like not at all! I come out the shower refreshed a lot of bodywash and soaps can strip the skin of its natural oils but this product definitely doesn't do that. Must purchase for anyone who is looking for a natural/organic SoapJust a tip, you can cut the soap. A little piece goes a long way!

Great soap, seems to be actually working for my skin

I am a minimalist/lazy in my skincare regimen, but hate the tiny hormonal zits I get once a month almost as much as I am lazy. Enter this soap - while it's expensive, I exclusively use it for my face so it lasts. I use it every day and it has cut down on my breakouts a lot. I have combination skin and it manages it well. My face is INCREDIBLY soft from the soap. One time my boyfriend used it to wash his hands, and then I held his hand and accused him of using my special expensive face soap because I could tell just by how soft it made his hands that he had used it. When I use it up, i WILL order it again.

already purchased again!

i have tried a LOT of different soap brands. I really liked the fact that i can use this on my body and face and it cleanses but my skin doesn’t feel dried out at all. the smell is so good. i’ve tried a couple of Herbivore products in the past and i really appreciate the brand and what they are doing. the price of this soap is very reasonable for how long it lasts. i have combination facial skin and slightly dry body skin.

Love this soap!

I love this soap! I have sensitive skin (Rosacea) and my doctor had put me on cortisone to prevent the rash-like bumps associated with Rosacea. Cortisone cream thins the skin and shouldn't be used on the face, but it was the only thing working. After a few days of using the Pink Clay soap, my skin doesn't need the cortisone. It's gentle and leaves skin clean and hydrated after using. I use with Kate Somerville Quench and Kiehl's face balm and that is it. No cortisone creams, or any prescription or OTC meds. The only reason I don't give it a full five stars is its white kaolin clay - not pink. Pink clay is red and white kaolin clay mixed to create the pink color. The ingredients on the label state only white kaolin is used. It's just misleading on it being pink clay and I'm curious how it's pink if there isn't any red clay.

So good!

This soap is not for everyone, but I LOVE it! My skin has not been dry and it’s gentle enough to use on my face. Great for travel when I don’t want to pack an extra cleanser.

Love it

I have been buying this cleansing bar for the past couple years. I love that it cleans my skin without stripping it. And I love that it’s not a cleanser in a big plastic bottle. All around love this cleansing bar. My skin looks so good since I started using it. Just got a bar for my husband to use.
