Pregnant with PEPS? buy it!, 5 Mar. 2014

I bought this for my 5 month pregnant daughter who is suffering from PEPS. The very itchy, nettle like rash symptom that appears all over the body and is a very stressful condition as the itiching drove her mad at night and she never slept. Her midwife and consultant recommended Calomine lotion but to no effect. Infact, it made things worse as the Calomine lotion made her skin feel tight.After much research, we found Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap. The reviews were great for pregnant mums with PEPS so we had to buy it and what a relief it was too! - After her first bath using it, the itching had stopped and she got her first good nights sleep. The smell is not great but what the heck! - she has been using it now for 2 weeks every night and is so much happier.I'm surprised our own Drs and Nurses are not recommending this product. Mums to be, spead the word so other pregnant mums who may be unfortunate to have the condition can also benefit.

Fantastic Product, 8 Mar. 2015

I bought this mainly to help with dry flaky skin, but also because I wanted something that smelled less feminine than the usual shop bought soaps. we men do not seem to be catered for in the shops when it comes to soaps and shower gels. anyway I digress well it's too early to tell if it will help my dry skin, it is a product I will definitely be buying again. it leaves my skin feeling very clean and smooth, it lathers up like nothing I've ever used before, and it smells fantastic. the smell is not overpowering as some have said nor does it smell like pine, it has a kind of earthy almost leathery odor, or maybe that's just my nose playing tricks.

that's real soap, 11 Sept. 2012

Feels really smoothe on the skin. Less drying than any other soap. It's pretty good for allergies, acne, seborrheic dermatitis and other skin problems. I read most people dislike the smell but.. I actually like it.I call it The Real Man's Soap.
