This multitasking bar soap impressed readers of all skin types. One writes, "This is amazing! It's very moisturizing and safe to use anywhere on your body, because it's unscented and formulated for sensitive skin. Dove makes this high quality soap for such a cheap price, it just has to be one of my faves!" Another writes, "I've never used a bar on my face because I'm so used to that weird, tight feeling most bar soaps give your skin. I've spent tons of money on good facial soap, and I was totally surprised by this little bar. It removed my makeup and made my skin feel silky smooth. I've started using it all over!"
Readers have nothing but praise for this product. One reader writes, "This is great soap. I have very, very sensitive skin and this is the only thing that won't dry it out. It's just really simple, good, pure, wholesome stuff that smells great. And there are no weird chemicals to worry about." Another raves, "This soap is wonderful in all ways. It's great for your skin and the fragrance is just right -- not overpowering. Plus, it's all-natural. I definitely recommend." One reviewer says, "The moisturizing effects are everlasting. And the scent gives me a feeling of calm that lasts throughout my day. I am hooked!"
Readers love this pampering bar soap because it's so moisturizing. One reader writes, "This is unlike most other bar soaps. It moisturizes rather than strips the skin, yet it cleanses very well. It has a nice creamy lather, it doesn't leave a film on the skin, and it's truly a bargain." Another writes, "This is a staple soap in my home. It is very effective when my skin is really dry. It creates a rich, creamy later and smells great, plus it's affordable, luxurious and makes me feel pampered."
Readers couldn't resist the signature scent of this soap, and they agree it's a perfect way to treat yourself. One admits, "Yeah, it's quite pricey. But you get the great Chanel scent, and it lasts a long time. I keep it for special occasions." Another adds, "This has a great smell, nice quality, and leaves my skin smooth and healthy." One reviewer says, "I love the way this lathers. It's just so great! I have sensitive skin, but this bar is so gentle, and it doesn't dry me out."
At only $1, this top-rated bar soap is a total steal. One reader writes, "There's nothing like peppermint soap. And the lavender is icing on the cake. What a great, refreshing, soothing scent." Another reviewer adds, "I really love the smell of this soap. It makes my skin feel really refreshed and soft, and it rinses completely clean." One reviewer raves, "I adore this soap. It really moisturizes your skin and leaves it soft and supple. The fragrance is also so calming and relaxing."

What image pops into your head when you hear the word "bar soap"? I instantly think of those plain, paper-wrapped soaps in hotel bathrooms. You know, the ones that always end up melting into the shower or sink after one use?
Basically, bar soaps get a resounding "meh," and I'll be the first to admit I've stuck with my trusty body wash for a while now. But after years of bar soaps staying out of the spotlight, they're back. Beauty junkies everywhere are swapping out their shower gel for a bar soap -- and I'm one of 'em.
