Lume Triple Milled Bar Soap - 5 oz (Clean Tangerine)

This bar soap is great! I usually alternate between body wash and bar soap, (varying brands) but have not been using bar soap for a few years. I bought the clean tangerine scent along with a soap bag and was a little disappointed that it didn’t have a whole lot of fragrance, I don’t like too much fragrance but a bit more would be nice in my opinion.However, after using it, the weaker scent doesn’t bother me at all! It makes me feel so fresh and clean! It is slightly drying imo, not bad but I have to moisturize every time after using it. But that’s with any bar soap for me anyway.The quality is definitely there. I have always wanted to try some Lune products but cannot justify spending $20+ for 1 average sized stick of deodorant or bottle of body wash.I wish the soap bars were a bit bigger, they seem quite small to me for the price. Paired with and exfoliating soap bag, it lather very nicely and is easy to use!I get that they are quality products but man, it feels like Lume is definitely giving us as little of the product/s as possible and charging the max price. I also got my partner a nice bar of soap at the same time and it’s sooo much larger, being 10oz vs Lume’s 5 lol. I mean, it did say “big ass brick of soap” on the box but the size comparison is funny lol. I included a pic of the soap bags too just because. (Brand name Zomchii)

Update: 1/24/2024: Since my last update, I did some more reading about 2-Nonenal and how to get rid of the smell. Others said Persimmon soap would do the trick. So again, I go to Amazon to find it. I did find it, purchased it and tried it. It’s a very very expensive, tiny little piece of glycerin soap. Smells good. Does it work? Yes but for about 8 hours. Then you have to use it again. Lume controls the odor much longer and Lume bar of soap lasts longer. If you like citrus smell, get Lume tangerine. It’s cheaper, larger, lasts longer and works longer.Update: 1/4/2024:Since my last update, I ordered the Peony Rose and the Tangerine. The coconut smell started getting to me. When first applied, cream or soap, it reminded me of men’s dirty socks. Not feminine at all! Of course that initial stinky smell dissipates but I just couldn’t get past it. So I’ve tried both the peony rose and tangerine. Both smell really good. Believe it or not, my husband likes the peony rose the best. It leaves a smell similar to CK One on him. I’m sure body chemistry comes into play here but on him it doesn’t leave him smelling of flowers. On me, both leave a light pleasant scent. People won’t smell it on you unless they are literally sniffing your skin.The soap works just fine by itself for 2-Nonenal.Update: 12/26/23I tested using only the soap and it works! For me, at this point and time, no need to use both the soap and the cream. Saves me a little time in my hygiene routine and a little bit of money too.Original Review:I’m going to put my tragic but true story out here in hopes it helps someone. Move on to the next review if you are sensitive to the truth and facts about aging or just squeamish.Growing up I spent a lot of time with my grandmother. I always noticed her house had this certain smell and I knew it came from her but never knew what it was. I definitely knew it was a natural smell, not a perfume, lotion or detergent. It was a sweet but earthy kind of smell. Whatever it was, I knew I didn’t want it.Fast forward 43 years and here I am post menopause. I still get a little hot flash now and then but I’m definitely through the turbulence. Praise Jesus!The other morning, I was sitting in bed with my morning cup of coffee perusing on Amazon like I always do, and I could smell this sweet, musty, salty something odor coming off my neck and chest. I was like, WTH!, but in much worse language. I religiously shower 2x a day. I never get in my bed dirty. NEVER. And all of a sudden, I’m waking up with this strange odor on my body. The idea of it tormented me all day. Next morning, same problem. 😩😩😩. So over to the internet I go to try to diagnose my problem. Well, guess what? I’ve hit an all time low in my life! I officially have Old People Smell or scientifically called, 2-Nonenal. Welcome to my dark side, folks!So back to Amazon I go to find a product to cure me. I came across Lume. I even saw the tv commercial for the all body soap and deodorant. I purchased both. Last night I showered with the soap and made sure I got my back and all the cracks and crevices. I put the cream on my neck and chest. I went to bed, said my prayers, asked God to take away the old people smell. 🙏❤️🙏.So here I am, the next morning, sitting in bed with my morning coffee and writing this review. So! How do I smell this morning? Like a coconut. No old people smell. I only smell of coconut. Lume worked!Would it work for a solid 72 hours? Don’t know and don’t care because I bathe 2x day minimum. I will use the soap and cream daily.It sucks getting old. Your joints wear out, skin dries out, and now we’re doomed to get 2-Nonenal.Mentally I still feel like I’m in my early 40’s. Physically, I feel like my actual age of 58. But I REFUSE to smell like an old person. REFUSE! REFUSE! REFUSE!Pros:-Bar of soap is quite sizable and will last awhile.-It works for 2-Nonenal and possibly other reasons for body odorCons:-Products are pricey but how can you put a price on something that gets rid of 2-Nonenal?So this is my wicked little story. I hope it helps someone and my apologies if I grossed you out.

I don't have the typical perimenopausal symptoms, I have the ones they don't tell you about. The itchiness, the adult acne (even in the sensitive areas), the skin dryness, sweating more, etc.For the itching my dr said to use baby shampoo, the orange one. No fragrance (i tried that, nope). Tried Lume spray first after washing with baby shampoo, still itched, but definitely better. But, I cant stand the way baby shampoo smells (smells great in babies, just not me). Decided to switch to lume. Started with the orange, not a fan if the smell, switched to unscented, loved it, then tried the ourple one, better than the orange one, but still just ok, tried the pink one, that's the one!I think of lume like medicine, not perfumed soap. The fragrance is not supposed to last, but washing with a scrnt makes you just feel cleaner. I also tend to wear floral perfumes (fav is gucci booom), so the scent doesn't clash with my fragrance . I use it everyday and the itching is gone.Really recommend trying it if you itch a lot. Also has helped with my psoriasis and even use it in my face when I am traveling. Leaves all my skin feeling squeaky clean, but soft. I find the price good. This is triple milled so lasts longer then let's say a soap like dove ir ivory. I have the spray and lotion, but dont really need to used as this lasts so long.

I love this Lume soap! It lathers up so easy. The smell is nice and the soap is gentle on my skin. I’ve been using this for over 5 years. I would highly recommend it.

Did not really get a coconut scent but more buttered popcorn for this item but that is fine (may be my nose). Left body super clean without any residue. I only purchase when on sale, due to the price.

This Lume bar soap is worth every penny! If you treat this triple milled bar soap right and keep it dry when not in use, it will last a very long time.Lume puts out top notch products with everything they make. It works as described to keep you odor free long after the shower. Use this as your first step in your oder control/hygiene routine, or even use it alone. You will be able smell the difference the very first day.

I wondered why I liked Lume bar soap so much, so I looked up triple-milled. The process of triple milling results in a luxurious product on a par with expensive French brands. The lather is rich and creamy. At the same time, the bar is long-lasting; it does not wither away as it produces lather. I like the unscented and the bars with fragrance. My only negative is I don’t like the rectangular shape with its squared off edges. But they will eventually smooth off to a shape more comfortable to hold. Thank you lume!

I just have to write this review to let other amptuees know what your soap has done for my brother in law. He lost his left leg in a construction accident. As most amptuees know the silicone sleeve that goes over the stump sweats and stinks by the time your remove your device at the end of the day. Plus if not taken care of properly the sweating can cause lots of problems with the stump. I introduced him to the soap on a vacation and he loved the toasted coconut scent. After using it for a few days he noticed no more sweating in the sleeve and best of all non more foul odors either. He says it's the best soap ever . Thank you for giving him a peace of mind knowing he doesn't have worry about the problems associated with an artificial leg.

Very nice and keep you fresh

I ordered this soap because I love the coconut Lume (as the description says) and was sent the tangerine. Will never purchase from this seller again.

Beautiful fragrance. Doesn't dry out my skin.

Really good although pricey but it does the job.

I love this soap
