Reviews

LOVE THIS

"Best face wash bar by far! I love that it is a bar compared to liquid so you know it’s 100% product and not diluted. This and the clarifying cream have cleared up my face tremendously! When I run out, which will be within the next few weeks, this will be on auto ship."

Madison R. (5/5)

Immediate Difference

"I'm beyond thrilled with the Clarifying Bar from Primally Pure. I've had some stubborn acne that simply wouldn't budge and this bar instantly cleared away those spots! I used the bar as part of my evening skin routine and woke up the next morning with noticeably clearer and radiant skin. Also, the bar leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. I look forward to washing my face in the evening! Thank you for a literally "clean" cleanser!"

Meredith S. (5/5)

New daily routine

"Since I purchased this bar, I’ve been using day (after splashing face with water and following with a small amount of cleansing oil) and night (as a double cleanse followed by antioxidant balm or clarifying cream). My skin is left feeling wonderful smooth clean and hydrated! Love love love."

Kristen R. (5/5)

Keep buying again and again!

"I have tried my share of facial bars that keep up with my oily-combination skin. First, this one does that beautifully. Second, the one LASTS! I never seem to find one where you can feel the quality while having a facial bar that doesn't need replaced super quickly. Finally, the natural scent of this one is perfect and not overwhelming. 10/10 may be my favorite product from Primally Pure"

My husband’s new go to

"My husband loves this soap! We both use this everyday and it really helps with his acne and then cleansing his beard to prevfn acne! Love it!"

Lasts AGES!

"I'm coming here to write a review after purchasing my second bar. I bought my first clarifying bar at the beginning of October 2025 and it has lasted me until now: end of June 2026. That was me using it at least once a day on my face and also taking it along on trips to use as a body soap. It's insane how long it lasts. Besides that, it smells amazing and it's just a great cleanser. I use it after I oil cleanse and it cleans my skin without stripping it. I've noticed huge improvements in my skin since using it. I don't think I'll ever purchase any other soap for my face again."

Micah (5/5)

Loving it so far!

"I have been loving the clarifying cream for years and many other Primally pure products, so I thought I would give this a try! My inflamed acne has calmed down a lot thanks to diet/lifestyle changes and the clarifying cream. Recently, I’ve noticed more texture on my forehead so I wanted something to address that. The clarifying bar cleared my forehead texture within a few uses! It leaves a squeaky clean feeling without being overly drying. It’s only been about a week of using it so far but I think it’s going to be a new staple for me!"

Rachel P. (5/5)

Charcoal Soap Bar

"Great soap bar for acne prone skin, oily, or just general impurities. Makes your skin feel squeaky clean- yet not stripping. Excellent swap for those wanting to go non toxic with their cleansers. Also I was shocked how long it lasted. Will be buying again!"

Jordan F. (5/5)

Plastic-free and lasts forever

"I love that this bar leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it out. It also lasts FOREVER - I've had it for like a year. The bar does not dry out and crack like other soaps. It is totally worth it and a great part of my routine."

Jewel (5/5)

Great for teenagers

"My 14 year old son uses the clarifying bar once a day. He was dealing with some dermatitis. I think this helped clear it up. His skin look great and is blemish free."

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! hello@primallypure.com 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
