I love this soap! I have acne prone, somewhat sensitive skin and was worried this might be too harsh. It did take a few days for my skin to adjust, but now I don't know what I'd do without...

Coal Face is amazing. I have sensitive, very acne-prone skin (that I am on medication for), and this soap gets my face clean without hurting my skin or making me break out more. It smells vaguely...

ok, but nothing special. It lathers good and cleans my face gently. As far as oil-control and skin balancing goes, nada. If you have normal skin, this is a cleanser for you. Edit: I decided to give...

Pretty good but not a must-have for me. I appreciate it when my back feels very oily. It's a bit too strong for my sensitive facial skin although it doesn't irritate too much. It just...

I’m never one to praise any type of skin product as “life-changing” as I more or less believe they are all rather similar to one another, save for a few ingredients. However, I don’t know if I can...

I made the mistake of buying this because it's 1.) it's a bar soap, which makes it kinda messy to use; 2.) it didn't smell all that pleasant; and 3.) it didn't improve my skin as expected. I didn't...
