I've used it 3 times already & so far it's been doing a good job w/controlling dandruff :). Lathers really well too. Highly recommended to use a conditioner afterwards though cause it's a little drying. Thanks!

it does work at clearing up some acne. i'm only using it at night to take off makeup. i think the less you wash in the morning the less chance of breaking out! it's very moisturizing as well. thank you!

This soap is great! It actually does NOT irritate my skin! The VERY FIRST soap I've ever tried that doesn't leave my skin feeling itchy or stinging. Instead it feels moisturized and soothed! The slight exfoliating is great also. Plus it arrived super quickly. I've already ordered another bar if it to have on hand when this one runs out.

the real U.

here at the real U household, there is a real passion for keeping it green and natural, and we find great satisfaction in being able to do and make things ourselves. it's sort of a slippery slope - once you start making one thing from scratch, you think of another thing you could just make for yourself, then another project more fun to just do, and oh yeah that would be a snap as well, then...well, you get the idea!

of all of the do-it-yourself projects, turns out making soap and bath products perfectly satisfies the inner creative-mad scientist-hippie! so much so, in fact, that we simply create WAY more than we could ever dream of using up ourselves and the only logical solution was to put the goodies out there and hope everyone else enjoys them as much as we do.

from our home to yours, we sincerely hope you love the real U as much as we do!
