I've been using this product for well over two years now, and the only reason I haven't replaced it is due to the price and occasional effectiveness.
Firstly, the exfoliation is a little too rough for my skin, which is very sensitive. It does the job, but I feel raw and irritated after a shower or face wash despite being gentle throughout the routine.
Secondly, the smell is a bit off for me. I personally dislike it, as it reminds me of chemicals.
Even though it causes the redness and irritation, it still does a good job at getting dead skin and portruding comedone heads off of my face.
Basically, I wouldn't recommend it, especially for someone with sensitive skin. It definitely isn't a must-have for me.

When I first used this bar, I was apprehensive to say the least. I have eczema all over my shoulders and upper arms, which gets very red and irritated from most soaps or body washes over I've used in the past. Not only did the price catch my attention, but also the packaging. It's very clean and bright, which is attractive on a shelf full of frilly body products.
Anyway, when I used it in the shower it lathered beautifully, and felt very silky. On my skin, it wasn't at all drying, nor did it make my skin feel tight. Now quite optimistic, I did my usual shower routine and then rinsed off... I was shocked. When I ran my hands over my arms and shoulders, it felt much less bumpy and sensitive to my touch.
When I got out I waited for the mirror to defog, and much to my surprise as well as delight, I could see a major difference in the redness of my eczema. To top it all off, my entire body felt clean and somehow moisturized. I'm a happy customer, to say the least! I would strongly recommend this product for someone with eczema or other similar skin issues.
