5.0 out of 5 stars Two False Advertisers, November 10, 2008

We use this product in our Sacristy to remove wine/lipstick stains from our church linens. Twice I ordered this product from Amazon; both times I was sent a different version of the product I ordered. The Pears soap I ordered was to be "the original transparent soap," which was manufactured in England. The version sent to me by both Amazon suppliers was manufactured in India for the Pears Company in England. (Note: The version sent does not include "the original transparent soap" on its packaging.) I believe the soap will do as it has done in the past for us, but I really am disappointed in the credability of these two suppliers.

1.0 out of 5 stars The new formula is horrible and very bad for my sensitive skin, September 27, 2011

I have been using Pears soap for many years. With it's mild formula and barely a hint of a scent it worked wonders on the sensitive skin on my face. My skin always felt clean and smooth after using. It didn't feel oily or greasy. It lathered well and rinsed easily. I loved everything about it. I would buy many bars at a time since it's so hard to find in my area. I did find it for $1.00 per bar at the Dollar Tree a few years ago and that's where I've been buying it ever since.

But, unfortunately, someone decided to change the formula. I recently needed to replenish my stock and I bought four new bars. When I opened the box I noticed that the soap was now wrapped in plastic. After tearing the plastic off I encountered the most horrid perfumey odor. When I used this bar of soap on my face I noticed that the suds were difficult to rinse off, my skin didn't feel clean and I carried the perfumey odor on my face and hands for many hours afterwards. Then I noticed that my skin started to itch around my face and I started feeling nauseous due to the strong scent. I had to throw the bar away. I tried to make myself believe that this bar's strong scent was only a fluke but after opening the other four bars I realized that the company who manufactures Pears soap must have changed the formula. I looked online and found that indeed they had. I checked the box and sure enough, the formula now has all kinds of new ingredients which were not there in the past.

So now I am left with no more wonderful soap to wash my face with.

Why did the company have to change things when this wonderful soap was doing fine just the way it was for hundreds of years???
