a high quality soap with great aroma foaming and cleansing that i plan to use quite often [SEP] review of tcm mens cleansing activated charcoal bar soap for all skin types pack in the handful of times that i ve used the tcm charcoal bar soap i ve noticed a number of items that i ve been really pleased to experiencethe first is the size of the bar no wimpy sliver of soap here the bar right around inches in length inches wide and inches tall a size big enough that until i used the soap enough times to round off the edges the size was almost too large to hold easily using just one handa second immediately noticeable item was the smell not a sweet smell but more of a slight dusky flower like aroma that for me at least was super nice perhaps in it s own way as nice an aroma as i ve found with any bar of soapthe amazing amount of lather this bar gives off was another pleasant surprise far more than i had expected from something that doesn t fit into the body wash category when washing my face i only need to rub the bar in my hands a couple of times and then when the soap is rubbed onto my face the suds really start forming the lather is impressive especially compared to other cleansing bars i ve used beforethe charcoal or maybe it s some other ingredient does seem to do a nice job of cleaning my face especially after i ve applied sun screen earlier in the day sun screen in my experience soaks into my skin really deeply and is almost like a magnet in attracting dirt and many regular soaps simply don t seem to cut through the grim the tcm soap however removes any embedded dirt and also does away with the slick feeling the sun screen leaves on my face noticed that many cleaning soaps especially after washing my faceon the other side of the coin however i ve noticed that the tcm charcoal bar soap leaves my skin drier than i expected for me there was no real sense of having any moisturizing left on my face after washing this dryness was apparent to me as after washing my face was almost too dry to be able to comfortably use my electric razor still while that was a surprise to me i don t consider the dryness to be a major concern compared to the cleaning benefits the soap givesall in all the tcm charcoal bar is a high quality soap that i plan to use quite oftenif this review was helpful please click the helpful button
