What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—fragrance—directly echoes critic block 6's emphasis on scent as a key selling point, revealing that while reviewers highlight the woodsy aroma, actual owners have mixed reactions to it.
In their words
“Love this gentle refreshing delicious face soap been using daily it for years! Recently I had a rash on my legs that my body soap was too strong and used the fantastic face soap on these areas until the rash disappeared. Worked great to clean area with no irritation. Such a great product! This is my first bottle with the new packaging couldn't be happier. The new packaging and design only elevate ”

“This face wash does an excellent job of cleansing and the pump is very pleasant to use. I am very happy with the packaging and the consistency of the face wash. I was very excited about the smell, however I was surprised to find that the smell is actually unpleasant to me. The smell reminds me of a margarita and not in a good way.”
