I have used this on and off for years. I find this to be an excellent product to alternate with clensing creams (as sometimes I don't feel that the creams truly *clean*). This bar lathers wonderfully (even in hard water like mine) but its gentle. My skin doesn't have that over-tight and dry feeling after I use this, like it would with another soap. I find the scent light and pleasant but it is not overtly scented so it would be fine for men to use.

My one issue that as a glcerin soap this gets used up much faster than opaque bars (This one perhaps more so even than some glycerin soaps) You can make this a little better by not leaving the soap in wet areas as they *melt* and by drying it off after use. The best way I have found to store it is buy using a slatted soap dish so it can dry on both sides.

As a girl who has struggled with breakout since about 14 or 15, at almost 20, I have found this! Actually, I've been using it on and off for almost 2 years now. I always come back to it! I wish I could explain how this has changed my life. It makes my skin look and feel smooth and after I apply my moisturizer, it looks supple. I am in love with this cleanser and I will never use anything else.

Neutrogena facial bars work great for keeping zits away, but as already mentioned, the facial bar melts away very fast. I got tired of constantly buying more bars of this stuff, so I switched to Liquid Neutrogena.

As far as I can tell, Liquid Neutrogena feels and acts just like this stuff except it's in liquid form and doesn't have the light cinnamon-ish fragrance added. The 8oz bottle it comes in is over twice the size of one of these facial bars, but costs only slightly more. The bottle keeps the soap in and water out -- so you don't waste any to melting.
