Reviews

Tried and true

"I love this clarifying bar. It helps so much with breakouts and makes my skin feel so much better. I double cleans with the oil and the bar and both combined really help clear my skin. Sometimes if I double cleans with the bar, my skin can be a bit dry after, but I would highly recommend to target breakouts."

Love

"I’ve been loving this cleansing bar. Seriously where has been all my life I like the smell as well, it’s not too strong"

Kaitlin R. (5/5)

Easy and Effective for Everyday Use

"This Clarifying Bar has been such an easy addition to my skincare routine. I love using it in combination with the rest of my products because it helps my skin feel clean and balanced without feeling stripped. It’s also become the perfect partner to my clarifying routine whenever my skin needs extra support. The formula feels gentle, effective, and simple to use every day."

Leonella D. (5/5)

Face feels so clean

"I have been using this bar all throughout my fourth pregnancy, which did a number on my skin in the first trimester. This made such a difference. It leaves my skin feeling really clean and ready for all the other PP products I use. Can’t say enough about this bar! I will continue using it indefinitely."

Taylor O. (5/5)

Incredible- like a vacuum cleaner for pores!

"I used this bar soap for 2 days on my always-clogged pores, and after the 2nd wash I had gunk visibly working its way out of my pores when I got out of the shower- I was shocked!! I'm now 2 weeks in to using it and my pores are noticeably smaller and have much less congestion than ever before. I've also noticed that a little bit of the soap goes a very long way- 2 "spins" of the bar in a wet hand is more than enough to wash your face and neck, so this bar is going to last a very long time."

Trisha A. (5/5)

Too soon to see long term effects, but loving it!

"I haven't been using it for very long but so far I'm satisfied! Leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. I like to match it with the clarifying spray after and so far I'm loving this combination!"

Rachel W. (5/5)

Love it!

"I have loved this bar! I feel like it cleans very well and suds up well. I have not had any breakouts since using this and feel like my face looks tighter and brighter. I combine with it with the clarifying mist which I think is a good combo for a fresh look."

Shelby M. (5/5)

Spa quality

"This collection is a perfect match for use with my antioxidant balm. Suds and lathers beautifully. My face feels so soft and clean without feeling stripped. Pairs well with the cleansing oil."

Mackenzie H. (5/5)

Lasts forever

"Primally Pure’s clarifying bar is one of the best cleaners I’ve ever used. This bar has lasted me for 4 and a half months!!!!! I’m not joking. I still have some left in my shower. I suds it up every night. I hardly ever get acne any more. Primally pure is my favorite ♥️"

Bailey (5/5)

Clarifying

"I miscarried at the end of 2025 and my skin has been struggling with non-stop breakouts. I tried so many different things and nothing seemed to help. Finally bit the bullet and ordered the clarifying bar, cream and serum and within 3 weeks my skin has cleared up tremendously and has a glowy look to it."

Q&A

Can this bar be used for the whole body?
Yes! This is safe to use on skin. :)
Hi! Could you tell me how to store the product once opened? Can I just leave it out on my counter in a bar soap dish? Does it need a lid? Thanks!
We would recommend storing the Bar on a standard sized Soap Bar where it can dry out between usage. XO, Pure Team
Hi! How should this product be stored in between uses? Is it okay to just leave exposed on the counter?

Is it gentle enough to use every night, or will it make breakouts worse?
HI Lainey, Thanks for reaching out! Our Clarifying bar is gentle enough to use as a daily cleanser. :) Please let us know if we can help with any further questions! [email protected] XO, Pure Team
Hi! About a week ago I started using the clarifying system/regimin for my acne prone and sensitive skin. In the morning my skin was quite oily from all the toners/serums/balm and so I used this bar in the morning for a cleanse before toning again. The first few days I was so excited because I was already seeing results but now (a week into it) my skin has actually gotten worse, with many small breakouts all over my cheeks/chin , nose, and jawline. Should I not use this bar in the AM? I was using Azelaic acid and clindamycin before and now I think I’m going to need to continue using those if these breakouts continue… :(
Hi Greta, Switching your entire regimen can be a big adjustment for your skin and it can take time for your skin pH to rebalance with the new oil-based products. To help with the transition you can try cutting down your Cleansing Oil routine to every other night (or less) while your skin continues to transition. You would use the Baby Bar or another gentle cleanser from another clean brand for other cleanses. You can also focus on exfoliating the areas that are experiencing the breakouts, either with a mask or a gentle scrub. If you're still not seeing improvement after a few weeks, then it might be time to reevaluate. We'd be happy to help troubleshoot further or even process a return or exchange for anything that isn't working for you. :) We hope this helps. xo, The Pure Team
