This soap cleanse well, does not leave my skin feeling dry afterward, and I think it does "gently exfoliate" a bit, as claimed in the product description. I like that it smells like plain soap, no flowery scent, no fragrance, not even the sweetness of raw pumpkin pulp. I am not sure it does anything to "brighten" my skin or not. However, unlike most cleanser I've used before, it does nothing to worsen my already very bad, (severely) acne prone skin while keeping it clean -- which is what you hope for in a good bar of soap.

Of all the samples I ordered, this is my favorite. After using it I can feel just how clean my skin is. Additionally, it has been really helping with my complexion as well as reducing acne scars. Not only that but the lasts a while, as small as it is. It has been over two weeks and my bar has barely moved.

I'm really happy with the pumpkin soap sample. I have dry skin with occasional breakouts, a little dull. I added this sample onto the order for the restore ritual sample kit. While I liked the rose soap that came with it, I am glad I added a sample of the pumpkin soap because I feel it works a little better for me. Rich lather and nice results so I will definitely be ordering the full size bar!

I haven’t cleansed my face with bar soap in years but I absolutely love it! Removes all of my makeup, including my mascara. Leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. Will definitely purchase a full size bar once this runs out.
