Calendula & Aloe Vera Soap, Sensitive Skin Face & Body Wash Bar. 4.5 oz | Handmade Cold Process, Natural & Organic Soap. Gentle Body & Face Wash + Organic Chamomile, Shea Butter & Turmeric

I have perioral dermatitis which makes the skin on my face extremely sensitive to everything I put on it, as well as very dry. I'm having a pretty bad "outbreak" right now and have been avoiding face wash (just using water to wash my face) to prevent further irritation but I really wanted to be able to actually clean my skin. I found this soap and thought it might work for me because the ingredients were so natural and there was nothing weird at all added to it. I have been using it for about a week now and, while it hasn't cleared up periderm, it's allowed me to wash my face without further irritation. As far as the parts of my face that aren't affected by periderm, the soap makes it feel very moisturized and soft without feeling greasy at all. The smell is really nice, it's fresh and smells very natural, not overwhelming at all (I'm also sensitive to smells). Overall, great soap and would absolutely recommend for both normal and sensitive skin.

I purchased this soap because I suffer from all kinds of acne. Face, back, chest, upper arms, you name it. I have oily skin. I also have a lot of dark spots. I figured I'd switch from my usual unscented Dove bar to something natural and supposedly gentler on my skin, to see if it made any difference. I'll try to sum up my experience. The scent of the bar itself is strong and some of it lingers on your skin, but I personally grew to love it. The bar lasted me just about 2 months by lathering up out of the direct stream of water and making sure the bar stayed dry between each use ($9 bar of soap, gotta take care of it). I found that the soap does seem to leave a bit of film on my skin if I don't scrub and my skin feels a little stiff afterwards, but regardless, it feels refreshed and soft. I just moisturize afterwards and I feel perfect. As far as my acne goes, the soap did little for my dark spots, but I did notice significantly less breakouts and smoother skin. When I did have a breakout, it was usually when I went more than 24 hours without using the soap, but the breakout would be short-lived once I got back to my routine. My oiliness has been greatly reduced as well. All-in-all, I'm really happy with my purchase, and I even decided to order a pound of it in Fugly Soap form! I also just received the Dead Sea Mineral Mud bar and hope to have positive results with that one, as well.

I was looking for a natural soap to wash primarily my face with, but this is great because it can be used for your face & body. The smell is more subtle than I imagined it would be. It’s not the greatest smell in the world. It’s very light. It suds up good & got my eye make up off easily. My face felt nice & moisturized after. I applied coconut oil after washing & drying my face & my face looks & feels great. My only real complaint is that it burns pretty bad if you get it in your eyes at all which is hard not to do when you are washing off mascara. I still gave 5 stars because I like this company & what they are about. I’ll probably try another scent next time.

I am very satisfied with this product. The quality of the bar is great, the smell is also very pleasant. I have a very sensitive skin and by far this is the best bar ive come across here in the U.S. Ingredients played the main role when i made the choice to buy this product and i must say that the soap is and feels quitev "body-friendly" Wish the price was a little bit cheaper. Seems a bit insane for a bar of soap.

I am not a big fan on natural organic soap due to my skin being really sensitive, and me being lowkey picky with certain smells. But this soap has a nice and not to strong smell that doesn’t suffocate you lol. I was scared how my skin would react as I have been using dove body soap for years and alway get allergic reactions with other body soaps I have tried in the past. But this soap goes on smooth and leave skin feeling smooth and silky. I love this soap bar I have about a week using my almost 2. I have not gotten any allergic reaction and have not gotten itchy or anything. My skin is less dry and more hydrated and overall will be purchasing again and recommending it.

I have previously been using the oatmeal soap formula in this brand on my face for the last 2 years. (The bar lasted a long time because I only use it on my face.) I have aging very sensitive skin that tends to be reddened on my cheeks, nose, and chin area. The oatmeal soap worked well, but my skin was still a little reddened. I can use very little commercial products on my skin without redness & itching. I use Aura Cacia Rosehip oil along with the Sandalwood Jojoba blend on my face after washing it. I am unable to wear any type of foundation, powder or blush products. My skin is very clear & healthy looking except for the slight redness at times. I decided to try this formula when it was time to re-order my facial soap. This cleans really well & leaves my skin soft & very clean feeling. No residue on the skin. My skin has also become noticeably less reddened since I started using this formula. I like this formula better because it is smooth on the skin. The oatmeal formula contained large pieces of oatmeal that were irritating & somewhat scratchy. This formula seems a better fit my skin so far.

This soap is not as moisturizing as other calendula bar soaps I have. The scent is lack luster.

I'm very pleased with this soap and just placed a second order. It may seem pricey for a single bar of soap, but if you can afford it, I say it's well worth it. To save a little money, you could always use it just where it's needed and use regular soap for everywhere else. The soap ingredients have many healing properties for various skin conditions. It burns a little on contact with inflamed areas but with regular use healing begins (pretty quickly, actually). The lather is really nice; I've found that to be lacking in some artisan soaps I've tried but not so with the ones from Aspen Kay. The smell is a cross between lemon and citronella--probably from the calendula--but very light and it doesn't linger. I am very sensitive to smells so I much prefer this to something heavily perfumed! Oddly, it feels drying when used but yet my skin has never felt better (e.g. it's not actually drying). The soap sticks to my wooden slatted soap dish and can be nearly impossible to remove. I have been setting it on its edge to prevent that, but recently purchased a 'soap lift' on Amazon that should counter that problem. This problem lies more in my choice of soap dish but for aesthetic reasons I don't want to switch it out. Hoping the soap lift does the trick. Regardless, the soap dries nicely between uses and has lasted longer than my ordinary bar soap.
