Dr. WoodsSkin Lightening English Rose Bar Soap with Organic Shea Butter, 5.25 Ounce

Used for bathing. Its excellent

Initially bought one to try it out. The exfoliation is remarkably aggressive and it’s not really emphasised in the product description. I read one review where someone was using this on their face and I can’t even imagine. There are even some days where I lather the soap in my hands and rub it in on my body because the exfoliating beads are so aggressive for everyday. All that aside, I like the soap. It replaces a liquid exfoliating body wash and another bar of soap for me. The fragrance isn’t too strong for me, either. Got a three pack after trying the one which is better value. I’m melaninated, so it’s good on my elbows and knees. Keeps my feet nice.

It’s works very well for me

Any uneven skin tones are slowly vanishing! Soap feels good, lasts a long time and is nicely scented.

At first, I LOVED this soap - the smell is absolutely wonderful, and I loved the thick and rich lather and how soft my skin felt afterwards. However, after daily use, I noticed after two or three weeks that not only were my arms and shoulders still the same shade as before (or if lighter, minimally so), but my arms were breaking out into these odd, red, slightly painful bumps that went away as I stopped using it. I don't know if it's the apricot kernels or what, but I didn't like that. Also, the smaller the bar of soap gets, the less and less my skin feels soft and the lather isn't as rich. I bought this hoping it would lighten my skin, but it really hasn't. I once paid less than two dollars for a bar of soap from India called "Fair and Lovely" (how I wish I could find it!) that effectively and noticeably lightened my skin even before the small bar was gone. `
