Ivory Soap Review Summary

Ivory Soap has been used by moms on their babies for years. Why? Because Ivory Soap is touted as one of the purest soaps on the market and is supposed to be very gentle on the skin - even a newborn baby's skin! Our reviewers, however, are split about whether they would recommend the soap to others. Some say Ivory Soap is great for sensitive skin while others say the soap causes breakouts. You will have to judge this one for yourself! You may also want to read up on some other soap reviews.

Now I have been using Ivory soap now for about 35 years, since I was a baby and I have to say, it is the best soap out there for acne. As long as you do use the 3 steps, like, using Ivory soap for cleaning and then a light toner and then of corse a moisting crem. (a light moisting cream) Then you will...

Ivory: 99 and 44/100ths % Pure! Uh, pure what?

As a kid I took a lot of baths and, floating always in the tub besides me was a bar of Ivory Soap.  My cousins always had a green soap in their house.  A green soap with a neat smell.  Palmolive.  "Ma", I'd ask, "Can we get some Palmolive?"  The answer was always "No".  "We use Ivory, it's pure,...

a great all around soap

ivory soap is a great all around product! it is fantastic for cleansing your skin and it removes makeup well. your skin stays soft with this product.   it's gentle enough to use on babies and men like it too because it doesn't have a perfumey scent.  it is the least expensive of the soaps which helps the budget.  i also like to use it to make my own laundry soap! really! i shave it into a pot and add the other ingredients and get chemical free laundry detergent that saves me money.

I am so suprised that this product is still on the market.  I have very sensitive skin and used this product since it is advertised that is so mild that even a baby can use it.  After using this product, I was left with itchy, irritated skin, and with redness.  It is not a good product

All of you who work for Proctor & Gamble should redirect your efforts towards making Ivory a better product rather then spending your time here posting phony, made up, bullshit reviews about how wonderful a product Ivory soap is. This soap makes me itch so bad there have been times I've scratched my skin raw and bloody. I'll never buy Ivory again.

Grandma's smelly soap

Ivory soap...liquid or bar doesn't matter; both remind me of Grandma. The soap lathers nicely with a scrunchie but seems to leave a residue on my skin that is very irritating. I end up with dry skin after a few days of use. It's just not worth washing my body with something that is going to make me itchy. Just something about Ivory soap...makes me feel old.

To pure for my skin
cursed with sensitive skin

NOV

ivory soap is evidently to pure for my skin. Everytime I use it I break out in a rash, which is only at the lake when we go camping, and I use it because it floats when you are bathing in the lake. I have to follow with baby oil or lotions to soothe my irrated skin.

Ivory might work for babies but it leaves me feeling itchy and dry.  It most definetely doesn't seem to work for those who have sensitive skin like me.

well let me start out with by saying ivory soap has been around for a long time. this soap cost less but also works the same also. you always hear the old saying you get what you pay for! well ivory soap is definately one of those you get what you pay for. this soap has no smell except for the old fashioned smell of soap.i have used this product once and will never consider it again. ivory soap  left my skin with a very dry feeling needless to say i also woke up with a few breakouts on my face from it. this soap is not one that i recomend to anyone that cares about their skin. it has no potential... review »

My epidermis cries out for you!
diva-in-training, into anti-aging creams, a dry skin sufferer, quality conscious, time on my hands

So many soaps have washed over me, covering me with floral and confectionery scents. Aloe and lavender call out to me with scented words that only my nostrils can hear. I shun them both! For my epidermal heart belongs to Ivory Original Bar Soap.

It has a mild fragrance that a manly man can stand, and a lather that satisfies my epidermal desires. 99.44% pure--a soap connoisseur's dream.

Sold in packages of three, four, twelve and twenty-four at any local or chain grocery store. Such epidermal bliss, such ecstatic joy, I love rubbing my Ivory toy.

Oh Ivory soap! I tear off your "Ivory" labeled paper... review »

After spending a lot of my adult (and teen) life trying so many products there is one I have always stuck with. It's Ivory soap, yes, Ivory soap! Being female we are bombarded with information from the media about what to use on our precious skin. Of course I've tried many soaps and body washes, costly "cleansers" only to be dissatisfied because of breakouts, oily skin, etc. But I've noticed to get a clean fresh face with little residue and oil without drying the best thing I've tried and keep going back to is Ivory soap. I'm not sure if it's just my type of skin or what, but it's seems lucky that...
