Reviewer name, location	Krista, Christchurch	Max, Christchurch	Oscar, Christchurch
Performance reflections	A good everyday cleanser designed for normal – oily skin. Does not dry skin out.	This facial cleanser has a fair, subtle scent and lathers well, so it should pick up most dirt. Personally, I haven’t noticed much change after using it, but other than that, it is a solid cleanser.	This soap has a smooth texture and a nice smell too.
Rating out of 10 on the “would never buy this again” (1) to “must, must, must have this” (10) scale	8/10	7/10	10/10
Advice for users	Worth a try!	If you use facial scrubs, I would recommend using this bar afterwards.	This soap is ideal for users who find soap with rough textures a bit too hard on the skin.

WE TRY ALL SORTS OF BARS TO HELP YOU BUY BETTER

Bar performance is such a personal thing. Of course, the quality of the ingredients, recipe and skill of the maker really make a difference - but individual skin and hair characteristics matter too. We are not all the same (surprise?!). We don't all like the same scents, textures, sizes and shapes. And we don't have to.

These reviews are a variety of peoples' thoughts on testing a bar for a fair few uses. Enough to give it a good chance to perform at its best. How well they go for the reviewer might be repeated for you - or it might not. No performance promises are being made. The reviews are simply to help you along when choosing in a market that has loads of options.

I select and buy all the bars myself and provide them to reviewers. You'll always get 'straight up' opinions here.

One of the many great things about bars is that it's easy to change to a new one if you have a bar that's not meeting your needs. Many bars can be repurposed to hand soap if they're not cutting the mustard in their original use. Conditioner bars often work for shaving, if you find yourself stuck with a dud.

My plea is that you don't let one misfire put you off using bars. There will be plenty that suit your specific needs, but it may take some casting around to find them. Bars are just like other products in that regard, only with more at stake (for our planet) if you go back to the bottle. And please remember to have fun with them. I'm a big believer in everyday pleasures being a foundation stone for wellbeing, and it's through bars that I get a goodly share of morning joy! They're an easy and low cost way to add some pep to your step for the day.
