Papa Recipe Tea Tree Control BHA Soap, Korean Skin Care, Handmade Cleansing bar for Sensitive, 3.52 Ounce, 3 in 1 pack

I want to begin by addressing a couple concerns. First, on the side of rectangular box containing the three individual soap bars, the ingredients, etc are CLEARLY WRITTEN IN ENGLISH. In case you threw away the box, I attached a photo of the English text.TEA TREE CONTENT DESIGNED FOR SENSITIVE SKIN - MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCEAt the forefront of this product’s benefits is that it is designed for sensitive skin. With that in mind, it is devoid of fragrance and there isn’t the ubiquitous tingling typical of many tea tree products. I can tell you why: Personally, I am allergic to products containing high levels of tea tree oil. I cannot use all natural bug sprays or massage oils that contain high levels of tea tree oil. With this soap, you are getting all the antibacterial effects of tea tree oil and salicylic acid without those ingredients bowling you over and causing sensitivity (at least for me).With all that out of the way, here is my full review:AMAZING COMBINATION OF INGREDIENTSI read the contents of this soap and I was astounded by all of the different essential oils that went into it. The very first ingredient is Coconut oil and then after that just about any natural oil you can think of: Palm; Suflower; Grape; Camellia, Shea Butter, Olive; Avocado, Evening Primrose. This product contains many extracts and powders. I will just mention Spinach powder (perhaps where light green coloring comes from) and Tea Tree extract. This soap is a BHA product (Beta Hydroxy Acid, which is Salicylic Acid). For the rest of the ingredients, you might want to take a look at my photo of the list.CLEARLY FOR THOSE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN - NO FRAGRANCE - SOOTHING - GOOD FOR FACE AND BODYOf course, if you are concerned about skin sensitivity, I recommend trying this product on a small area of your skin first. That being said, I did not detect much of a fragrance.To put this soap to the test, I actually washed my face with this product shortly after shaving my face (when my face is most sensitive), and I had zero sensitivity issues. While it seems this product is targeted for use on the face, I tested it in the shower. This soap lathered very well (unusual for all natural artisanal soaps, so a definite plus there). This soap cleansed well and I experienced no sensitivity on my body.PRICE - KOREAN SKIN CAREOk, let’s talk about price. Yes, it’s expensive. However, if you do a search here on Amazon for handmade artisanal skin care products, you will find that this product’s price point is pretty much on target. Considering the ingredients of this soap, I dare say it’s very reasonable.This soap is imported from Korea. It’s pretty well known that Korean skin care products are usually top quality. Our family finds that Korean personal care products are designed with great attention to detail, and certainly this soap is no exception. Having been the victim of skin cancer, I myself wash my face with a Korean cleanser every morning and night to keep my skin healthy. My teenage daughter (who has all the skin struggles of most teens) also successfully uses Korean skin care products. My wife’s favorite shampoo is a Korean brand. We can vouch that this soap is the real deal.UPDATE: THE WIFE LIKES IT - I’M GONNA HAVE TO KEEP BUYNG ITMy wife used this product for the first time this morning. I did not tell her much about it so her views would not be prejudiced. After showering, she came to me and said: “How much is this soap because you are going to have to keep buying it for me.” (!!!) When I told her the price, she felt it was reasonable because, as she put it, it “left her skin silky soft and well moisturized.” When I rattled off all the emollients, she even more felt that this soap is reasonable in price.FINAL THOUGHTS - LUXURY IN A BAR OF SOAPIf you are looking for a very well rounded soap designed for those with sensitive skin, this product might be what you’re looking for. If you want to indulge in a richly moisturizing, all natural handmade product that is luxury in a bar of soap… then this soap might be a good option for you.

These three Soap Bars (each is 3.52 ounces) are packaged in individual boxes.I sniffed a bar, but could not smell a scent.As I am washing, this bar creates a decent amount of suds. I like how well it cleans my skin of dirt/ debris/ oil. As I used the soap, I smelled a faint earthy scent.This soap feels gentle on my face, and I did not get the same sensation of exfoliation (minimal coarseness / grittiness) as I did with previous exfoliating soap bars I've used.So far, I have not had any skin irritations.I like that after I've used the soap, and left it on my soap dish (which has lots of vents), the next day, there wasn't a lot of mushiness on the dish. One bar was used solely by me on a daily basis, and it's in its 3rd week of use. I like how long it's lasted.The side of the box lists 22 ingredients, with the first three being Cocos Nucifera (coconut) oil, Elaeis Guineensis (palm) oil, water.Overall, I like how fresh and clean my skin feels after using this bar of soap.

There are three 3.52 ounce bars of soap in this package for the current price of $19.54 ($22.99 minus 15%), which comes to a pricey $6.51 per small bar.I tried this and it lathers well and feels a bit moisturizing or oily. However, it does not WOW me. Also, there is absolutely no tea tree oil aroma. In addition, all the writing on the package is in Korean except for the words on the front that says "Control BHA Soap."

This is a good bar soap and I was surprised by how good it was (not that I had low expectations, but that so many other soaps have been disappointing). This soap has little aroma (not loaded full of perfumes), does not go all soft and mushy, lathers easily and well, the lather is thick and goes a long way, and the soap does a good job of cleaning without stripping or leaving a residue.I’ve been using this soap for weeks now and am still on the first bar. Some soaps go soft once wet and go too fast or just fall apart. Not this soap. It maintains its shape well and remains firm. The aroma is light and natural, which I find pleasant and relaxing (I’m not one for perfumed soaps). Whether using the soap in your hands or on a loofah, it works equally as well. I found that it cleaned my skin well, removed just the right amount of oils, and left my skin feeling fresh and moisturized. The lather the soap makes is thick and luxurious; it goes a long way and does not just degrade quickly like low quality soaps do.Overall, this is a great soap. Unless you are looking for a soap that will provide a ton of aromas and perfumes, this is an excellent choice for a soap. It did not bother my skin at all and I feel quite refreshed after a shower. I certainly would recommend this soap to anyone.

Having ditched liquid soap years ago due to constant dry skin, I only use bar soap now and the dry skin issue is all gone. I like to try different kinds but due tend to prefer ones with goats milk or hemp oil. This has neither but does have tea tree. I put it in my mesh soap bag and used it after one of my hard workouts. This lathered really well and mildly exfoliates. There is no real scent that I can detect, which isn't a big deal, and it made my skin feel really soft and clean. The only negative I have is the price. You do get 3 bars but at the current listing of $22.99, that breaks down to about $7.66 a bar. I admit having spent more on one bar before but it was also larger than these. There are a lot of soaps out there that work just as well for quite a bit less so I knocked down one star for price. Other than that though, I really like it.
