Blue Power Carbolic Soap 125G

This is your down to basics, no nonsense soap that cuts through dirty hands and body oils perfectly. It cuts though grease and smells like leather but that smell dissipates your shower. It's strongly scented and might not be for everyone but it takes care of minor skin abrasions or irritations. Leaves your kin squeaky clean. For a shower soap, that's basically what I want. I don't want to shower with an oily moisturizing soap that will leave a coating on my shower walls and floor. I can moisturize my skin later after but for getting clean, this soap is the best.

PLUS: It is a good soap on the respect of clearing up some minor skin irritants, like acne. It's a damn good cleansing soap; tested not using deodorant once and it was amazing that I never noticed the whole day. On that fact alone, well worth it!NEGATIVE: The smell, is like a automotive garage; a mixture of gasoline and tires. The 'scent' is so damn overpowering it's unreal. I tried leaving it sit out a couple days; no luck, that smell is pungent! It lit up my entire bathroom and hallway. (Whew!) You do smell it on your body for about an half an hour then it disappears, but honestly I eventually ended up trashing it; I could no longer take the strong scent. 😔

Strong-smelling (that's what I bought it for), long-lasting, powerful soap. I bought a few bars of this and the other brand a while back but this is the one I'm re-ordering. Other Brand adds an undercurrent of smoke to the classic Carbolic scent (you might like that; personal preference) but this one serves it up straight. Also kept its shape all the way down to a sliver, where the Other Brand developed ugly cracks before it was halfway worn down. It certainly doesn't hurt that it is priced with regular soap at the grocery store with free delivery, either.Nice, deep red color that is probably not a dye and doesn't seem to stain, and one of my favorite scents; right up there with Hoppe's #9 and Indian Head Gasket Shellac. Although I consider it a masculine scent I personally would find it deeply intriguing on a woman. On anyone it smells of Clean. Does a good job holding down the Desert Storm Souvenir rash and may even be improving the toenail fungus. Good Stuff.

Have been looking for carbolic soap offline, never found it. Now I'm glad, because this is serious carbolic soap! It has the right smell, lathers extremely well, and cleans you, body and hair, like nothing else can. The scent is strong at first, but that's good, it means there's enough carbolic in this to do the job. And yes, the scent is characteristic - it comes from the active ingredient.I am really glad I found this, because it's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, Blue Power Group Ltd.!

NOT A MEDICAL STATEMENT - Just my own opinion. I had a recurring skin issue for which I tried everything. Medicated lotion, powders, allergy medications… That I read about a bacteria that caused similar symptoms, then bought the old fashioned soap! It smells really strong and medicinal (and it lingers) but it works.You don’t want get to use it every day, as it might disrupt a healthy biome, but when I use it periodically, it helps.

This soap stinks it's smells like hazardous chemicals and gasoline

Came quick and safe. Have always loved the scent of Carbolic soap, especially this brand. It's so comforting; I like medicinal associated and cleaning products scents, among others. Just anything with a clean scent, but not overly strong as am sensitive to them. Makes me miss Dettol and Savlon. Haven't used it in years, used to it back home plenty of times- will update to see if it still works well with reducing acne and such.

After using this soap for 8 months I have developed a sincere appreciation for its effectiveness. Yes, at first blush, the odor is obvious and somewhat petroleum in nature. This abates rather quickly. If you use this soap you will like the clean feeling that results. The only negative is I keep it in a travel container just to avoid complaints from spouse.
