Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Grapeseed Oil, RSPO Sustainable Palm Oil, Castor Oil, Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Essential Oil Blend, Sodium Lactate
Bar Size: 5.5oz
Storage: Please store unopened soaps in a location that is cool, clean, and dry. This will help them last longer. Once a bar is in use, store it in a dish with slats, wire rack, or any soap dish prevents water from pooling underneath the soap. There are no chemical hardeners in the soap, nor are they milled soaps. Leaving them sitting in water will cause them to turn soft and greatly reduce the overall life of the soap.
Highly effective facial soap praised for acne elimination and soft, clean skin. Customers said it "eliminated" breakouts and leaves skin "soft" without overdrying. Features medicinal citrus scent and exceptional longevity. Works well for sensitive, oily, and normal skin, though may be too drying for very dry skin types. Lathers easily and performs as pre-shave prep.

Love the way it makes my face feel. I'm a 66-year-old woman and my skin feels wonderful. even my granddaughter's using it and she loves it. she's 16.
The only facial soap I use. Leaves my 68 year old skin soft!
This soap is a game changer. I’ve had off and on adult acne that was manageable with other cleansers but this soap has ELIMINATED the problem. I’m blown away. It lathers well, smells good(medicinal) and does the job amazingly. I’ve never tried something from Stirling that I didn’t like. I couldn’t be more grateful.
I'm not sure I can tell a huge difference between this and bath soap. Smells medicinal, which is actually quite nice. Last forever too!
Love this one. So soft !
This facial bar is great it doesn’t dry my skin out. I have started also using it in my pre shave routine as well. 5-star review!
Great soap for sensitive faces!
I received a sample of this today as a freebie with a batch of shave soap and after shave samples I ordered recently. Completely unexpected but very welcome - this is a truly great facial cleanser, IMHO. From the fresh, clean scent, to the nice lather it produces, to the way my skin feels after using it - absolutely amazing. I've been using a liquid facial cleanser and thought it was good, but it pales in comparison. Thanks, Rod and Mandy!
Been using this twice daily for about 2 1/2 weeks and have really been enjoying it. My skin isn’t usually too bad just a pimple here and there and some texture on my cheeks but this has helped clear my cheeks up even more. I have normal/dry skin and I find as long as I follow up with my moisturizer I don’t notice being any dryer than with other face washes I’ve used. It’s creamy and easy to leather, and the smell is really nice, not too strong and reminds me of grapefruit. Cuts very easy and I think it’s going to last quite a while. Think I’ll definitely be repurchasing when it’s time though :)
I got a bar for my wife for Christmas. She frequently tries new cleansers from Ulta, Sephora, and the usual beauty supply places and/or prescriptions from the dermatologist. I figured this bar would be something different to try and probably no more costly than whatever other products she looked at. Once she used the facial bar she liked it so much she had more order another five bars. I'm not sure which product the facial bar replaces but it is a keeper.
Local stores here ran out of the soap I usually buy, so ordered this. Very happy I did. Been washing my hands maybe 20 times a day, but have not gotten dried skin. Lathers great and pleasant scent.
Got this as a sample for something I purchased a month ago. I'm a liquid castille guy because it works well for me, and is pretty versatile, but I always use the samples Stirling so generously includes in my orders.
I really like this soap. It smells to me like Jamaican-style ginger beer--a refreshing citrus and ginger. It's VERY slick, and I'm tempted to give a run as a pre-shave soap. A very pleasant surprise, and I'd definitely recommend giving this one a whirl. Thanks, Stirling :D
I love this soap! Smells great and feels even better. This is my new go to soap to wash my face. Bars can easily be cut in 2 to make them last longer. One warning - my wife has dry skin and didn't love it for her skin. I have normal to oily skin and love it. Definitely will be buying it again.
I've suffered from acne for most of my life, on my face, chest, and back. I first tried other Stirling soaps, specifically Electric Sheep and Naked & Smooth. They were great soaps. I loved the scent of the Electric Sheep, but It seemed to be aggravating my acne, so I switched to the Naked & Smooth, thinking the essential oils may have been the problem. After about 3 weeks of using the Naked & Smooth, there was a slight improvement, but nothing significant. I still had a decent amount of acne on my face, chest, and back. My wife insisted that I try the facial soap, and use it on my entire body. My skin started to clear up. I am now three weeks in, and my chest and back acne is mostly gone (WAY better than before!). My face is also doing much better, with the occasional small breakout here and there, but nothing major. This is a fantastic soap that I intend on using for a very, very long time. Also, I really love the smell!
Please never stop making this amazing soap!
tl;dr
Greatly reduced my acne when nothing else would. Amazing scent.
I'm a fan of Stirling shave soap; but, these bath soaps are way beyond my expectations!! They smell very nice while not overwhelming. These soaps leave my skin feeling ...well... clean without being the least bit drying. I do get dry skin on my forearms and lower legs, and, these don't cause excess dryness at all. The particular scent of this face soap is mild and smells of natural botanicals. I give this my highest recommendation.
Starting on my second bar. I really like this soap. While rinsing your face will literally squeak. Will buy again.
I LOVE this soap.
I suffer from adult acne, especially if I am not careful on my pre and post shave work. Since switching to this soap, I've seen a drop of over 90% in my acne, redness, and I swear it even makes shave recovery all the better.
I've permanently added it to my regimin for preparing my face for shaving, first this soap, then a pre-shave oil, etc.
My skin is softer, feels smoother, and cleaner. Love this soap!
The only thing I'd like to see is if they made the facial soaps in the same scents as their shave soaps - then I could do a quick facial wash later in the day to bring back the fantastic sent I receive when shaving :)
Like all Stirling soaps, this one functions exceptionally well. It lathers easily, cleanses well, is a great value, and even has a nice, slightly medicinal scent to it. Unfortunately, the astringent ingredients are simply too much for my dry skin and leave my face feeling tight and dry and looking noticeably ashy. People with dry skin may want to give this one a pass and look for something more nourishing and hydrating.
Love the freahness it gives my face. I have sensitivity to many products; this product is gentle and works great!
I've used a specific facial cleanser for the past 15 years at least. I've not touched it again since using this facial bar. Same goes for my wife and she is ultra picky when it comes to facial cleansers. It is slightly medicinal in scent(which I tend to like) and leaves a squeaky clean finish. I do think it may be avoidable for people with dry skin though. In the winter months I can feel a notable tightness in my forehead for an hour or so but my natural oil alleviates that soon enough.
It started clearing up my acne right away after the first use (I wasn't and am not using any other acne products). I've been using it almost daily now for over two weeks, and my face has never felt better. You can barely tell I've used any of it yet - I think this bar will easily last two months or maybe even more at this rate. It smells pretty good too. Well worth the already low price. I will definitely buy another bar when I run out.
I'm very cautious about face soaps (sensitive area of my skin). But this soap was gentle and performed very well. To me, It has a subtle and fresh scent. Although the label dosen't specify the essential oils actually used, it smells like lemongrass and ginger. It can be slightly drying, so use sparingly if you have dry skin. Otherwise, this soap is very good. It's in my daily routine now.
My acne is more due to genetics: I have larger than normal pores on my face. It has always been a bother unfortunately and I am 24 years old. Most dermatologist prescribed soaps involve a drying process, either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.. or the use of both combined to reduce facial inflammation and clogged pores.
I haven't been using this soap for too terribly long, but, what I really like about it is that it seems to do the perfect amount of firming and getting rid of oil without leaving the chapped skin feel. I combine this with a doctor recommended moisturizer and it works splendidly. I would highly recommend at the very least trying this soap.
This stuff is just great, leaves my skin feeling clean with no dryness. In my opinion, this soap works better than Noxema for oily facial skin, costs less, and lasts for a nice long time.
I received a sample of this with a recent order, and find it to be a great soap. Bright citrus scent, and leaves my skin clean and refreshed.
I have oily skin and my nose can break out in the hot Texas summers and laughable Texas winters. I have to use lotion on my nose to keep it from drying out. I started strictly using this soap to clean my face and I have foregone lotion and haven't had any issues with dry skin! Great product. Don't ever get rid of it!
I am 41 and suffer from very sporadic adult acne breakouts and this soap has eliminated those PLUS it smells great and you can't beat the price. You won't be disappointed.
As someone with very sensitive and oil prone skin, I have had struggles finding a great facial soap that could clear my skin without drying it out. This one has blown me away. The bar is massive, well priced, and leaves my skin feeling super soft and extremely clean. I can't quite put my finger on the scent. It reminds me of an orange based scent but mixed with a very pleasing medicinal aroma. I have used it at least 2 times per day since it was delivered over a week ago and it looks like I have hardly put a dent in it. For the price, ingredient list, and performance there is no better option when looking for facial soap.
I have been using this soap consistently for several months, and I have to say it's the best one I've ever used.
I use facial soaps in the morning shower routine to both clean my face as well as prepare it for shaving. I have an odd combination of skin on my face. During the hot summer months, I tend to use Stirling's Glycerin Pre-Shave Facial Soap with great results. I switched to the Facial Bath Soap during the cold dry months of winter to help keep my face from drying out too much. It's a great soap with a very subtle hint of citrus. It does a great job of cleaning without dehydrating my face, lathers easily and abundantly, and my binchotan charcoal facial puff glides easily over my face with ease.
Perhaps it's the composition lends itself to the fact that this offering from Stirling is the longest lasting bath soap I've used. I wash my face at least twice daily, so go figure.
