It’s more of a 3.5/5. I really wanted to love this bar because it directly addresses most of my skin concerns. However, the formula feels a little bit too stripping for my skin. It always leaves my skin feeling a little tight. For reference, I have combination skin.
I am also not a fan of the scent. I wouldn’t mind it too much if the scent washed away with the product, but it lingers the entire night.
I do like that the bar seems to be effective. My skin looks a little clearer and brighter after each use. It’s just a shame that I can’t use it daily due to everything mentioned above.
Hi TL! Thank you so much for such an honest review! I'm really happy your skin is already looking clearer and brighter, and sorry it's been feeling tight.
Willow Bark is our deep pore-clearing bar, so on combination skin it can be too much as a daily, all-over cleanser. I actually think our Green Tea bar would suit you better. It's made for redness and an oily T-zone, so combination skin feels balanced and soothed, not tight. You can still use Willow Bark on just your forehead, nose and chin 2–3 times a week to keep those clearer results. About the scent, it's a herbal scent that comes from the herbs in the bar.
Thank you again for taking the time to share this! We truly appreciate your support. 💜
I've been using the Willow Bark Pore Smoothing Luxury Cleansing Bar for a little over a week and have already seen improvements in my skin. The clogged pores on my forehead are completely gone and the ones on my cheeks have significantly reduced. I'm usually hesitant to try new products as I have sensitive, eczema-prone skin but wanted to give traditional Chinese medicine a try. This has not irritated my skin so far.
I am so impressed by these soaps, I couldn’t have imagined that a soap eliminate acne while leaving the skin moisturized!
It looks like a miracle how it cleared up my acne! Unfortunately I don’t have before and after pictures because I didn’t believe a soap could do it.
Can’t wait to order Mugwart soap for clearing the under the skin bumps on my forehead, which is out of stock.
I usually have eczema in my face and hands and managed to get it in my hair. I have battles it for the last 8 months (moved to a different state). I tried all of the over the counter shampoos with minimal success. This bar was the only thing that actually calmed my skin and allowed it to heal. I've been using it as a shampoo for the past 2 months. It's not the intended use, but my hair feels softer, more hydrated and i have a bunch of new baby hairs now.
I have enjoyed the Gromwell soap so far! I have been using it for about a month now. With the hot weather, I have been washing my face more and I have seen very few blemishes, irritation thus far. My skin is an oily dry combo and, in the past, my eczema would flare up with the overwashing. So far, no issues and I am thankful that my skin has been feeling hydrated and clean! It's nice having a product that doesn't make my skin feel dry and tight! Will be ordering again. (:
I have been suffering from adult acne and just overall redness but this bar (and balm) seems to have done the trick. It's been a couple's days so we'll have to see how it goes with more use but so far doing great. My skin felt good after the wash and the balm overnight has made my skin feel so much softer.
The only complaint isn't even the bar. The ink on the ribbon that came with the wash net keeps flaking off and had to wipe that off my face a few times. 😅 Other that, I'll most likely be getting another bar once this is done.
The balm is hard to put on, it would be easier if it was stick format to make application easier rather than the current container. The Bamboo bar holder also doesn't close well which make storing away a little annoying but it does its job. Other than that the product itself is really good and smell amazing.
I’ve had a stubborn eczema patch on my neck for a long time and recently went through a bad flare up. This balm really calmed it down and I finally have some relief from the itching.
Nice small mini size to try out each type available. Texture is good best to always keep in dry place. My skin has never felt so clean 🧼
I have typically had very clear skin but suddenly was having a terrible time with hormonal acne (c'mon thirty-year-old me, aren't we passed the acne stage yet??). Also my skin got really bumpy and I was just generally unhappy with my face every time I looked in the mirror. I found Sunday Glow on Instagram and was delighted to find a Canadian company that had natural beauty products. So I took the test and tried out the purple bar. It smells lovely and one bar lasts me three months even using it twice a day. In a few months my acne was all cleared up and my skin was less textured. I now give this bar coming on subscription and highly recommend it. Thank you Sunday Glow for beautiful, natural, effective products. Love supporting your small business. All the best!
It was really nice to receive this complimentary gua sha with my order! It’s great quality and I love the green color.
This stuff was worth the price. When I first used the treatment it gave me skin a healthy glow to the point I got a compliment from a stranger. The content helped with giving my skin a nice shiny and glow. (Would definitely continue using it again) :D
I have oily, acne-prone skin (mostly hormonal breakouts on my chin) and these products have made such a big difference! I had a lot of breakouts and inflammation on my chin and after using these products for a few weeks my skin feels calm, soft, and clear. I love how the soap lathers and it makes my skin feel clean but not stripped. I’m so impressed that the skin soothing balm made such a huge difference after just one application - I had a huge cystic pimple on my chin and overnight the redness/swelling went away. I’ve been using the balm everyday twice a day and I’ve barely made a dent in the jar. I love that these are such high quality products with great ingredients that will last a long time. I also love that they are travel friendly! I know I will be repurchasing when the time comes.
The purple soap as calmed the skin on the face and reduced my redness and acne. It smells lovely and doesn’t strip the skin too much. The purple balm is a lovely consistency and melts well into the skin. I have been using both for over a month and can see a real difference. I highly recommend giving them a try. Service is amazing and quickly delivery and they communicate throughout.
This soap has largely eliminated everything i had in my nose pores as a man they usually fill with black heads
I literally used to use a different cleanser before trying this one, and ever since I started using Sunday Glow, my skin feels so much softer and calmer. One day I decided to use my old cleanser again just to compare, and the difference in how my skin felt was honestly crazy. My skin immediately felt more dry and irritated, while with this one it feels clean, smooth, and comfortable after every wash. Definitely one of those products you don’t realize you love until you try going back.
I’ve been using 3 to 4 times a week for about a month now and it helped me to clean my skin. It also made it softer kind of. Or maybe it is my imagination. Now I Wanna try one for uneven texture.
My own problem is how to store it correctly.
