This is my first time using a bar facial cleanser. As someone with very sensitive, acne-prone skin, I was nervous switching from my tried and true. Thankfully, it's been working well for me! No redness after cleansing, no stripped feeling either. I haven't noticed any increase in breakouts, but I can't comment on its effectiveness in controlling breakouts since I'm on some prescriptions to tackle that. It does, however, remove my light makeup and sunscreen easily. Can irritate my eyes a touch if I'm not careful, but nothing too bad. I've been using it for two months now and barely even made a dent in the first bar (it comes with two), so I'm anticipating both bars will easily last me a year or longer (shelf life is 12 months on packaging). I just lather it in my hands and use the suds on my face. Bonus is that it fits perfectly in my round Lush tin that I have, making it easy to travel with as well. Highly recommend!
