LumeTriple Milled Bar Soap - Rich Moisture & Gentle Cleansing - Paraben Free, Phthalate Free, Skin Safe - 5 ounce (Pack of 4) (Lavender Sage)

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.

My wife and I had seen this brand being promoted on the TV, and we both would chuckle a bit at the commercial, but one day, out of the blue, my wife decided to try it ... guess the commercials finally sucked her in. She bought a bar and some other products, and put the bar in the shower. The next morning I saw it and decided I would give it the smell test first .... dang, it smelled like tangerines! Then I thought, "what the heck, let's give it try", I mean, she had bought it, so I might as well try it. Amazing! It lathered up well, was so luxurious, and smelled great.That afternoon I went online and bought a 4 pack. Since then I have repurchased this soap probably 4 times, and it is all we use now. I feel clean, I smell good, and my skin is really much softer after using this product. I highly recommend you try it for yourself ... try just one bar and see what you think. I would not be surprised if you weren't buying the 4 packs every time you need soap again.

Lume has saved my life. I am in perimenopause and my body odor and sweat smell different. I have struggled for years with trying to rid myself of or hide my odor when I have night sweats ( which happen all day long for me) or when I exercise and. I have literally tried every brand of anti perspiration and deodorant on the market. Nothing works. I’ve been using Lume for over a year now and it works miracles for me. I use the body wash, soap and deodorant. My favorite is the white peony. It has a wonderful, pleasant scent and no matter how much I sweat or how dirty I get, my odor does not come through. I used to but on the lume website, but have been buying via Amazon for about 6-9 months now. I buy the multi pack so it lasts me about 3 months and I have my order set on auto ship. It’s about $20-$25 cheaper than buying directly from the company website. I honestly believe without this body wash and anti-perspiration odor neutralizer I would not have been able to survive peri menopause. It’s been a life changer.

This is great soap. It last just as long as a bottle of body was. Smells great and make you feel clean and soft.

I have been using antibacterial bar soaps before I switched to Lume, and they both work on removing body odor, pretty much the same. Lume, maybe a bit better. I like that Lume comes in unscented, because I wear perfume almost daily and don’t like to use scented soaps that would clash with my perfume. The acid in Lume, I feel like (but cannot confirm) it's good for skin exfoliation as well. No waxy residue like other bar soaps. The only issues is that Lume is expensive by ounce, and it doesn’t seem to last as long as conventional bar soaps.

This soap has been on Facebook ads for several years. As much as it seemed a nice idea for kids and their stinky feet, I didn't see a personal need. Then my mom got cancer. I sent some up to her because she had trouble bathing daily, and bacteria built up where the skin touched and caused infections. It works like a charm. Kept her body from causing bacteria to run crazy creating heat rash or stinky sweat. As we daughters rotated through the house to help Dad, I encouraged everyone to try the soap. It is all some of us use now. I can still go outside and sweat and get dirty, but I don't get as much heat rash, or redness.

I liked that it keeps you feeling fresh I didn’t like it not having a fresh scent to it

Tried this since it was much cheaper in price than Lume Body Wash. Carries the same scent and the same body odor protection that the body wash product has, just not as long. The freshness factor starts to fade quicker throughout the day. The bar soap itself lasts the same shelf life as a normal bar of soap. Overall decent value for the money spent and great alternative for the body wash products if on a budget.

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.

It really works!!

I use lume products all the time. Thisis definitely something else. no scent! Very odd. Do not Buy!
