I have a history of eczema on my hands, and after about a week of using this instead of the mildest softsoap I'd been able to find, the eczema was completely gone. That's a significant positive, and vastly preferable to slathering heavy duty steroid cream over my hands. In addition, I have nasal allergies and vasomotor rhinitis which makes me sensitive to fragrances of all types, but the fragrance in this is nice and light and not at all perfumey. It also has the benefit of not lingering for a long time after use, which for me at least is a plus. (I don't need my hand soap making me sneeze an hour after I used it.)In short, it's allergy-free heaven for both my skin and my nose.
There is, however, a downside: the soap seems to be very drying. It doesn't feel harsh upon use and it lathers well, but after using it for several days both my husband and I noticed our hands were starting to feel dry and slightly rough.
Still, as mildly dry is much easier to deal with than constant itching, I'll take it.
Also, just to note: I've tried both the orange and vanilla scents, and the entirety of this review applies to both. (No allergies, both are rather drying.)
