Product reviews of Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) pure olive oil soap from France Traditional Method, All Hand-Made
Review: Grizzybear(NYC)
Beauty product: 5 Stars
This soap is just wonderful so far, it leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft. It's even gentle enough for your face. It is made with olive oil but it doesn't feel like it on your skin, i will continue to use this soap. Review: I am in love

I love the olive oil Savon de Marseille. I use it for everything. There is no waste, a tiny bit cleans the counter or washes my hands. I feel like with liquid soap I am pouring out so much more than is necessary but not so with this. The texture is silky and solid at the same time. I am shocked at how well it cleans and how good I feel about using it. Though it lasts incredibly long, I am a bit of a miser with it, I am afraid. I am terrified of one day running out. Perhaps I should order a few extra bars just in case, though I've had my original cube for at least three months. My hands aren't destroyed after washing-up. I can clean a paintbrush with it beautifully. It is my absolute favorite cleaning product and I had no intention of ever having a favorite cleaning product. I recommend the olive oil Savon de Marseille highly. (I think we should go on a field trip to Marseille to get more, don't you?) Review: I am so glad to find this soap online!

I found this soap in a honey shop in Paris in winter 2006 and after the first use I told my friends about it and afterwards they bought the same soap and continue to buy it today. It smells like olive oil, but it doesn't smell strongly. I recommend people using this soap lather and rinse twice in a row for best results, it will make your skin soft and smooth and the natural ingredients make the results long lasting, I use it once every three or four days but it's gentle enough to use every day. I wish I had bought more while in Paris because it is impossible to find in California! Review: It has a fancy name but its pure crap

Cons:
-smells HORRID
-doesnt moisturize, and leaves a wierd feeling on your skin while and after you are finnished bathing. have you ever took your hand and ran it along the roof of a car? felt awkward didnt it? not smooth, soft and supple...just awkward...
-it was so difficult to grip the bar of soap because it was so big and it didnt have any type of a string or anything tied to it.
-doesnt lather well at all
-crumples easily
Pros:
-long lasting (sometimes it felt like i was bathing with a big rock)
-a generous sized piece of soap
-its mild and gentle yes.. :)
Review: My skin feels great after my shower...great soap

I bought this soap several months ago when I was experiencing some serious skin dryness even though I was using a "moisturizing" soap. I always exfoliate during my shower to get dry skin off, but I was flaky, and itchy right after my shower, and having to apply lotion multiple times in a day. I listened to the great reviews for this soap, and I'm so glad I did. I really appreciate the honest, and helpful reviews I find here on amazon.
This soap has a very mild scent of olives, because it's made from olive oil. I find the scent light and pleasant, and I don't really smell anything but clean when I get out of the shower. This works for me, because I use scented body lotions, or perfumes, so there is no clash of smells.
What I really like about this soap is that my skin doesn't feel tight, flaky and itchy after my shower. My skin feels soft and clean after using this soap, so I can skip the lotion if I'm in a hurry.
Even though the soap is made with olive oil that doesn't mean it's greasy or sticky. It lathers and feels like a glycerin soap to me, but much more moisturizing. The brick sized bar was different, but that just means that it will last forever, and it's a great value. If the bar size bothers you you could probably try heating a knife with some boiling water and try cutting the bar down.
Anyway, I really like the soap. My skin feels much better, and I've noticed since using the soap that nice skin shine to my legs even without using lotion.
