I don't have dry skin, and the skin on my body isn't as sensitive as my face, so this series is mild enough for me. When I want something fresh, I alternate between using it and regular soap. The scent is really subtle and natural, but I think it would be more enjoyable if it was a little stronger.
The grapefruit scent is very soothing.
Matsuyama Oil & Fat has a wide variety of solid soaps, so it was hard to choose, but I ended up choosing Mother Soap Grapefruit from the LEAF & BOTANICS series. Its simple packaging is stylish and it lathers really well. It's a beautiful orange, transparent soap with a refreshing grapefruit essential oil scent. It leaves your skin feeling moisturized without any tightness, and can be used on your body or face when dryness is a concern. Keeping it in your bathroom means you can wash your face and body with just one product is great. When using it in the bath, transparent soaps with a high glycerin content tend to dissolve easily, so it's best to drain the water well before storing.
I love the grapefruit scent and keep buying it. It lathers well and leaves a nice feeling after washing. It also looks beautiful, which makes me feel good! I highly recommend it!
I bought this soap because I wanted to try it out. It has a subtle grapefruit scent. I think you'll need a foaming net to create a good lather. The cleansing power isn't very strong, so it doesn't irritate my skin.
