I've been using this product for years! I have combination skin and it is perfect for the dry and the oily. I use it with Breeze on Sea Air toner and Impirialis moisturizer. It's the best skin regime for me!
The bar itself, I feel is very economical. I have one that has lasted me for a year. It's important to note with all of Lushes solid products, they are best kept dry. And as with all of their solid products, the best thing about them, they can easily go through airport security!
It has ground bits of coal in it, which provides a bit of exfoliating, though I wish it were more because it doesn't really seem to do much. I was worried the coal would color my skin, but it doesn't. The only other negative is getting coal bits in your eye, very painful! But if you keep your eyes shut tight, you'll find the squeeky clean skin will be more than worth it!
