I have been using this cleansing bar for 3weeks now. It is always gentle and mild except when I used a different moisturizer (not from the same brand) and I washed my face with the cleansing bar my face burnt. So the lesson for me is don't fix what's not broken because the moisturizer in the range works wonderfully.
The cleansing bar's smell is lovely but not overpowering which is great because I don't like overly fragranced things.
It never dried out my skin and it is a great product.
