I've been using this twice a day for about a week. So far I really like it. I love the way it makes my skin feel. It seems to do a good job at moisturizing, but doesn't make my skin oily. I bought...

THIS IS NOT A FACE WASH. I would not use this as a face wash, I'm not quite sure why any of these people are. This is a body soap and works quite well as one. The smell is amazing. Me and my bf...
