Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar, 6-Ounce Bars (Pack of 6)

I asked my dermatologist about a minor but persistent itchy rash on my arms. She said to just switch from Irish Spring to Purpose soap for showers. Ive been using it ever since (10-15 years). I now have the rash only very infrequently.

This soap cleans but is not harsh. It was recommended to me years ago by a dermatologist and I have been using it ever since.

We have used this for years and were very happy to find it on Amazon. We were especially pleased by the quick delivery and the condition of the product.

Sensitive and acne prone skin here . Ive tried many soaps and body washes ( Cerave , Cetaphil , Neutrogena , Basis , Free and Clear etc. ) and Ive finally found one that doesnt irritate my skin , dry it out or cause it to break out . The bar is HUGE which Im not a fan of , so Ill be ordering the smaller bars next time . That being said , the bar lasts a long time provided you dont leave it sitting in water . It IS slippery , my feet have taken a few hits with this mammoth bar so HOLD ON . The smell is ok , I dont know what Id describe it as , but its not flowery ... maybe more herbal smelling ? I dont know , all I know is I dont mind it . My skin likes it , its soft and clearing up and Im only on the second bar . Will def. repurchase .

This is my favorite cleansing bar. I grew up using it, as I have always had pretty sensitive skin, and have never had an issue. My face feels clean, it doesnt leave behind any gross residue, and my skin remains soft (I do also moisturize, etc). I have not broken out from it. Since its not the trendy soap bar, it was always tough to find it. I did my first bulk order (6 bars at 6 oz) in January of 2018. It is now June of 2020, and I still have one bar left, and just did my second bulk order. Totally worth the money! I use this soap for a nightly wash and a morning wash, and Im the only one in my household who uses it.

Have used this soap for many years for dry skin.

Many years ago I suddenly developed rashes on my face, ears, and hands. I went to my husbands dermatologist and he recommended this soap since I had developed a sensitivity to soaps, hair shampoo/conditioners, lotions, sunscreens, and cosmetics (even hypo-allergenic ones). All these products were causing me contact dermatitis. I had had isolated incidents in the past but at that point in time the condition became permanent. The dermatologist said I was a 1 in 10,000 person who is sensitive to hypo-allergenic products. Of all the products he tried on me, this soap and one other product were the only ones I could safely use. The other product was discontinued by its manufacturer about two years later I have been using this soap for 23 years. I have never gotten a rash from it despite getting rashes from all kinds of other soaps, skin, and hair products. I carry this soap with me when I travel because the free soap in hotels and soaps at the homes of people I am visiting cause me dermatitis. The manufacture of this soap has stayed consistent since I started using it. Its important that people giving this a try for contact dermatitis problems know this. Unfortunately, I have never found any brand of skin lotion, sunscreen, shampoo, or cosmetics which I could consistently use without getting a rash so I do still have bouts of dermatitis caused by these other products. I KNOW, in each incident, what is causing the dermatitis because it is always when I have just started using a new bottle or bar or other container of a product...and invariably, the list of ingredients have changed or it is labelled NEW and IMPROVED! I applaud J&J for keeping it simple because I know I would be suffering without this soap. As he has aged, my husband has also developed skin rashes (not dermatitis but other types) and this soap is gentle enough to be non-irritating for his rashes too (other soaps cause them to worsen). He too uses and travels with this soap. This soap is hard to find at bricks & mortar grocery stores and drugstores. The ones that carry it often run out (we were near to running out recently and everywhere I went its space on the shelf was empty). It is NEVER on sale and rather expensive compared to the other bar soaps. The price on Amazon.com for a Prime member is better than I have ever seen elsewhere. BTW: Over the years, the list of things that cause me contact dermatitis has expanded to include latex gloves, latex medical equipment, laundry detergents, the adhesive on strip bandages, leather watch bands, plastic watch bands, some types of jewelry, the saps of many plants. The list just keeps growing (sigh).

Good for dry skin

Purpose is great for anyone but especially for those who have allergies are dry skin. Love it!

I love this soap for sensitive skin no scent and lasts 3 times longer than other soaps
