Simply Great Soap 22/05/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages non drying, natural ingredient based soap
Disadvantages not moisturising though non drying, stings if gets in eyes so careful use is advised

~~~~How Soap Works~~~ Soap is a blend of ingredients that remove dirt, oils, and bacteria from skin.. How it works is this way: Different ingredients in the soap serve different purposes. One part will be made up of ingredients that are water binding, and most of the rest will be fatty acids that are water repellent. Basically the soap grabs dirt, grease and bacteria and bind them to the particles that are also water repellent , and rubbing the skin in water causes it all to wash off into the water due to the water binding portions. Soap literally makes dirt and germs become slippery and to ... more

Simply too simple for me! 13/03/2005

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Great for sensitive skin
Disadvantages Rather boring

I do not have bad skin or sensitive skin, but I dont like using soaps that have a really acidic sense due to high amounts of fragrance (apart from Wrights Coal Tar soap or Shield). Somebody reccomended this to me, a friend, but I should have not taken up her reccomendation, as she is a woman who eats dry browm toast, maybe with a bit of flora if she's in a funny mood, and would not consider going anywhere near anything with any taste or smell! ~What does it look like and how much does it cost?~ Well, rather similar to the photo above this review! The packaging has changes somewhat however, and ... more

A simple soap that does the job 16/08/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Cleans skin effectively, vegan, unperfumed, gentle
Disadvantages Is not scented but that is the point of the product

There aren't many skin and body care products that my dad has introduced me to, but Simple Soap is one of them. The brand was recommended to him by a nurse when he was having a medical treatment that required him to use products without added perfume. With the treatment over for the time being, he didn't want to see another bar of Simple again, nice as he found it. Remembering that it was suitable for vegetarians, he offered his unopened bars to me. I had been meaning to try the soap for some time in any case, because I have used other Simple products with success and I like to support a ... more

Simply fine! 09/10/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages It's perfectly fine
Disadvantages nothing special

I have been using this soap for a while and find it to be very good. I have no problems with it at all, it's nothing outstanding but when I'm looking for a bar of soap to keep by the sink I'm not looking for something special so it does fine for me! The Simple range offer health and beauty products which are not full of promises and overly dressed to look like something special. Instead they remain 'simple' which is what I like as you get the impression you know where you stand with them. I like to keep a bar of soap beside the sinks in my house so that people can wash their hands properly if ... more

Oh so simple 02/10/2009

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Good for sensitive skin
Disadvantages With no fragrance to it I don't feel as clean as usual

I suffer with really sensitive skin. I'm very prone to getting dry skin, my shins like to go greasy and lets not talk about spots! The other day though I got myself a hayfever rash right out of the blue. This really doesn't happen to me very often and I do have cream for it but boy oh boy were the spots huge on my neck and down my back and it made me feel really itchy and grimy. I was scared to use my ordinary shower gels and soaps on it for fear of making it all worse but of course I wasn't ill and still living my life like going to the gym and that so needed (and wanted!) to be clean! That ... more

A simple message to all. 11/10/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Helps your sensitive skin.
Disadvantages None.

Always having suffered with sensitive skin, it has taken me years to actually find soap that can get me clean but keep my skin flake-free. And at last after many years of trying, along came a 'simple' solution - in the form of Simple soap. This soap is non-scented, and so even tough men like me can use it without worrying about getting funny looks about how we smell afterwards. Added to this its plain colour (that is, a creamy one!) it gives you that impression of being down to earth (OK, boring) but at the same time doing its job just so well as the next one. And for all you environmentalists ... more

If you have sensitive skin UPDATED 04/12/2000

User recommends the product

Advantages No irritation
Disadvantages None

‘Not perfumed, not coloured, just kind.’ That’s what it says on the wrapper of the bar of Simple Soap and the same applies to all the products in the Simple range. They are all 100% perfume and colour free, have been dermatologically tested and do not contain any unnecessary additives. We decided to try Simple Soap as my partner has very sensitive skin, particularly on his face. I always used to buy Imperial Leather soap made especially for sensitive skin for him to use. This was OK but even this still irritated a little, so we decided to try Simple Soap. We had seen it ... more

Simply Cleansed 28/07/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Good for skin, on offer
Disadvantages no scent

**Introduction** I was in Morrisons doing my weekly shopping yesterday and whilst looking for some new soap I came across a four pack of Simple which was available on offer at just £1. I had not used Simple soap before, Usually opting for a one or two bar pack of another soap. I usually use Shower Gel the most but also keep some Soap for a change and to save a bit of Shower Gel to make it last a bit longer. The soap I got was the 4 x 125g which are each in their own packaging and will hopefully last you a good while. There are other products in the range from Simple which will work well in ... more

It's simply soap! 22/02/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Does not irritate my skin, reasonable price.
Disadvantages A little bit boring!

Simple products are ones that I have come to know as being suitable for my sensitive skin. As they do not have a scent or any colours I usually stay away from them if I can find something a little better smelling/looking that is equally as considerate to my skin. From time to time I will revert back to Simple products if I am having a bad case of eczema. Recently the eczema on my feet has flared up, possibly due to the cold weather, and therefore I have been doing what I can to keep my skin healthy and moisturised without using products that may irritate it.The item that I have purchased is ... more

Simple, that's the way it is. 31/03/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Not perfumed, kind to sensitive skin
Disadvantages None

Simple, that's the way it is. I have been using Simple soap for a number of years. It is one of those products that just goes into the shopping trolley without too much thought when I have written soap on my shopping list. I have quite dry skin and it is quite sensitive, I can't do really perfumed soaps, shower gels etc, so Simple was recommended to me a number of years ago by a friend and I have used it since. My husband suffers from eczema on his hands and he will only use Simple. The packaging states that it is pure soap for sensitive skin, I don't know exactly what pure soap is but I would ... more
