Review title is Purchased for mild IV, probably wouldn't buy again. [SEP] I purchased this soap after reading reviews that it's beneficial for IV. I have mild IV and thought I would give it a try.<br /><br />Three stars for the following: delicious fragrance; luxurious dried flowers mixed throughout; skin softening; washes clean without much effort.<br /><br />Minus two stars for the following: dissolves too rapidly in the shower, even when not directly under the water; price.<br /><br />I followed the directions of another reviewer and cut the soap into slivers as not to prematurely dissolve the entire bar. I was able to use each sliver (maybe 1/6 to 1/4 inch thick) ONCE before it completely disintegrated. That means that I used the entire bar of soap in about 6 showers. Disappointing.<br /><br />For $11 per soap, I would expect a longer lasting product. Yes, it softened my skin, and yes it smells great. Also a plus that it's natural. I didn't see a significant improvement simply from the soap alone though.<br /><br />Note -- for IV people, try out Dermal Therapy brand lotion. That's a product that is DEFINITELY worth the money.
