Fresh Farmacy

I've used this bar for about 5 months and it just doesn't lather well. It lathered decently early on and I felt it was a nice gentle cleanser, but now it's pretty thin and it doesn't lather at all. We have hard water though, so I'm sure that's part of it. It just doesn't do anything for me now, it's like rubbing a rock on my face.

So it's safe to say that I can finally write a legitimate review being that I've been using this everyday for a year now. I suffered from cystic acne because I have hormonal imbalance and when I grow out my beard it gets worse. Adding that I have combination skin, I get dry and then really oily throughout the day? The dryness is not from this facial cleanser because I've been like this for year. BUT the reason I'm writing this is because this alongside the Kalamazoo face wash has helped a lot with my cystic acne. Now of course I have some break outs here and there but it was BAD! I was using everything my dermatologist was prescribing me which later on I found out was just making matters worse and I decided to opt out for something more natural. Sure enough I found LUSH and they literally schooled me on all the matters that concerned my troubled skin. I wash in the morning with Kalamazoo which is more gentle and at night with this bar to really remove the excess dirt from throughout the day. I hydrate with Thermal water moisturizer really thoroughly and all is well. I really recommend 🙌🙂

This product is amazing for oily skin. I use it every morning after I wake up. I've been using this product for years and this company was highly recommended for my skin type. Highly recommended!

I originally was looking to purchase one of the cleansing balms but they were out of stock, so I decided to get this cleanser. While is does remove dirt, oil, and makeup, it's pretty harsh and contains a lot of essential oils and fragrance, which is not good for the face in general. Would love a fragrance-free skincare line.

While it does get my skin decently clean, I find that it is quite harsh, despite being labelled as safe for sensitive skin. If I don't get moisturizer on my skin soon enough after using it, the most delicate parts of my face start to flake badly for the next few days.

I used to use First Aid Beauty and wanted to ditch the plastic, so I switched to this and honestly, I freaking love it. It feels silky and luxurious and it is my favorite face bar of all time. It feels nourishing and moisturizing on my skin, and I used to have super bad acne but have never had acne with this. Could also be not eating animal products, but this is definitely helping soothe my skin, like a little spa bar, and I love it.

I love the gentle smell and the way it feels on my face. It doesn't remove my makeup like I was hoping, but I've started removing my makeup with an oil cleanse before washing with this. This bar has caused me no breakouts. I recommend cutting the bar into chunks, as the bar could easily last six months with daily use.

I'm not familiar with the old formula but I find this product is very gentle on my sensitive skin. It doesn't give a big lather, but I don't find it needs to. In my opinion it's more similar to a cream cleanser than a traditional or foam lathering soap. It has noticeably reduced redness and itchiness in my skin and I find the minimal scent is really nice. I use this in combination with the Light Touch bar moisturizer and find it's a great combination for day or night use.

I love this product so much. From its gentle scent, hardiness (it doesn't dissolve quickly), to what it does for my face! So I have rosacea and I often get dry patches on my cheeks, t-zone and bottom of my chin. Then I get just a tad too oily for my linking at my temples, the dip of my chin, and the sides of my nose. When I'm feeling like my skin is all over the place, this soap is great for a reset! Over the summer months I use it nightly and my faces texture gets smooth and evens out all over! Definitely a wonderful soap!

I've been a raving fan of fresh farmacy for years. Like others mentioned, there must be something different about the new formula for the bar form. It turns into a rock about halfway through, and becomes impossible to use at all once it's down to a silver dollar size. UNLESS YOU SOAK IT! I've found that breaking pieces off into a tin and soaking them dissolves the wash into a paste you can then actually use it effectively. I leave it to soak overnight the first time I notice it turning into a rock. Then I let it dry into a paste and then just add a bit more water to maintain every time I use it. I'd prefer not to have to do this trick, but my skin is so sensitive and oily at the same time, this is the only wash I've found that cleans completely without irritating.
