hi, i have used basis everyday for years in the shower and it is fantastic for my drier than normal skin. i have to be careful b/c i have eczema on my hands and it has never irritated at all. plus it has a mellow smell that is not bland but not overly fragrant. highly recommend!

This is the best soap I have used! It leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it or heavy perfume smells to irrate the skin.

One down side is that I live in canada, and it ends up costing me a lot of money.

I have Rosacea and can't use most soaps to wash my face. Basis sensitive skin bar and the face gel cleanser helps reduce the irritation and leaves my skin with a clean, soft feeling. I recommend it for anyone with Rosacea.

I've been using it for about 4 days already and really like it. I have usually used the Purpose bar and I really like Basis better. Its not drying like Purpose and there's no scent which I like unlike Purpose. The bar is really smooth and feels creamy when you lather it so its like you're almost washing your face with a cream cleanser. It cleanses really well and does rinse off really well completely.

Not at all harsh. Rinses squeaky clean for me. However, it is a bit drying.

I was pretty mad when I used this soap, simply because it did not rinse off. I found out afterward that its the sodium tallowate (animal fat) that causes the annoying film on your skin. It says right on the package "clean rinsing" which is a total lie. For some strange reason it doesn't seem to bother most people, but for me it seems pointless to use a soap that won't rinse off. To me, it just defeats the purpose of trying to get clean in the first place.

Works great, with minimal drying.

Basis is inexpensive, last a long time and I can use it anywhere on my body. I started using it as part of my own recently discovered regimen - which by coincidence is the same as yours!
