Bar Soap or Liquid Cleanser?

Just bought two bottles of liquid cleanser for body wash because I get 50% off for the second bottle. My skin is very sensitive, I just use those which are very gentle and fragrance free. I use liquid cleanser for hand wash too. I prefer using liquid cleanser because I find it more convenient and neat. Actually, one main reason is that I can find liquid cleanser for sensitive skin easier. Here, stores mainly sell liquid cleansers. The choice for bar soaps is limited. Do you use bar soap or liquid cleanser for hand and body wash?

I use QV Gentle Wash which is fragrance free and it's for dry and sensitive skin.

I think I"d rather like the liquid one. It's a lot handy to carry and easy to use as well.

Yes I prefer liquid soaps and body wash over bar soap.

@Beestring there isn't much of a selection of bar soaps here either.

It appears that people have switched to liquid cleansers. Stores here sell very limited choice of bar soaps.

So your bar soaps are for your private use?

@Beestring Plus, they always seemed to have left a sort of film behind. Never liked the way bar soaps felt on my skin.

I've used gentle liquid cleansers for many years. Bar soaps make my skin dry.

I see. There are many liquid cleansers in the market which can kill 99.9% bacteria. I think bar soap and liquid cleanser are equally safe to use.

We have liquid soap for the washing machine. Bar soap for daily kitchen dusters, etc and Vim bar for the vessels.

That's good. Different soap or different purposes.

I don't like using bar soaps because they get so gross after awhile. Though it's wrong that we throw away all the plastic bottles from hand and body washes. They should somehow make it reusuable.

@Beestring That's a good idea. It seems that I've seen it here before also.

For liquid hand wash, I buy refills. So I just use the same bottle.

It has been a long time since we bought bar soaps. I guess they are now less in demand. Liquid cleansers are convenient and we get more varieties in them. They are also more mild and friendly for sensitive skin.

@Beestring Same here. As more and more people move towards the liquid body wash, their demand and market is shrinking.

I see. Seems bar soap suits you more. I have sensitive skin, I need my cleanser to be very gentle and fragrance free.

Bar soaps make my skin dry. Liquid ones are more gentle.
