Ok firstly this soap smells SO GOOD, and it made the entire parcel smell heavenly!! It’s wrapped quite tightly in thin plastic, but you can still smell it and I love it. The packaging is very simple, too, so it’s easy to open. The soap bar is smaller than it looks in the photographs - it’s approximately just over 10cm x 7cm x 2cm. But, as it is a soap bar not a gel or liquid, I’m expecting it to last for a long time. When I first used it, I wet the surface of the bar with a little warm water and rubbed my cleansing brush over the top (I used SecretKey Soft Pore Brush). The resulting foam was very fine (as you can see in the photo) and scrubbed easily and lightly over my face. Some ‘foaming’ cleansers that I have used do not foam up very well (eg. Simple face wash gel) and end up dripping into my eyes! This soap sticks quite firmly to where you have applied it so there's no risk of having stinging eyes! When I washed off the soap, it washed off quite quickly leaving no residue and no sebum, but also leaving my skin feeling squeaky clean (it actually squeaked when I rubbed it). I was quick to apply my toner, essences and moisturisers on top because the squeaky clean feeling wasn’t very pleasant and, if I didn't apply a toner soon, my skin would quickly feel like it's drying out. Only after a couple days of using the soap, I have noticed my skin is a lot cleaner, but I haven't noticed that much of a difference on the visibility of pores or sebaceous filaments. I haven't noticed any new blackheads appearing though, so that might be thanks to the soap. The sebum control is also only temporary, so it depends on what products you apply after you've cleansed. My skin also looks and feels a lot cleaner and softer, and the softness lasts for longer in between exfoliations.

After using this for a couple of weeks, I don't think I will be repurchasing it, as I think it's more suited to oily skin, whereas mine is combination-dry.
