Porridge Soap

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I want to love this soap. I DO love this soap. The problem is that the oats are usually very hard and this makes it VERY painful to use, especially as the soap melts away around them. I usually have to let the soap soak in the hot water so that the oats either soften, or I can pick enough out to use the soap itself.
it smells wonderful. If I could get a version sans oats I would go broke stocking up on this stuff.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I used this product in the shower, however its best used in the bath. Keep the soap dry so it doesn't disolve. I love the smell, it freshens the bathroom and keeps it smelling nice. I love the soap itself, however it needs less oats and more soap.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I love this soap! It lathers well, smells so yummy and leaves my skin soft and creamy. I gave it 4 out of 5 because it is a bit messy, the oat flakes do make a bit of a mess.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I used this soap only once. It had a nice smell, but it was very drying to my skin (it felt like using Ivory Soap)and it was extremely messy. I was afraid to use it in my shower because I didn't want to get any of the oats stuck in the drain. I ended up using just a small sliver that I cut off of the hunk that I bought to use to wash my hands in the sink. I won't buy this soap anymore.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I bought this soap for just a body soap, but one day I decided to use it on my face and I fell in love! I have tried everything to help clean and clear up my face and it worked! I will only use it as a facial cleanser now because it doesn't last and i don't use a lot on my face

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I love Porridge soap. I have very sensitive skin that breaks out on my back and shoulders and gets dry on my extremities with most soaps and body washes. Porridge works like a charm and banishes bacne, but doesn't dry other skin. My skin is so soothed when I use porridge that it looks brighter and clearer. Porridge also looks and smells so beautiful. I like that the scent is a little more subtle than a lot of the Lush fragrances, because I can use it everyday without getting sick of it. I wish there was a version with fewer oats, or just oats on the top, because it does get pretty prickly as the bar is about to run out, but that is my only complaint with this amazing soap.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

What I love the most about this product is the smell! It reminds me of my daughter's morning oatmeal! It's sweet and creamy, with a hint of nutmeg! And the oats, there are so many... more than you usually find in an oatmeal soap! But they're not too abrasive... they scrub away all the dirt and nasties from the day before! The only thing I don't like about Lush soaps is that they leave a tacky feeling after rinsed off in the shower... but once you get out and dry off, skin is smooth and smells so good!

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

This soap smells great, but my batch had so many oats in it that it's a little rough on the skin and it doesn't lather too well. Too much exfoliant, not enough soap. So for now it's my hand soap.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

This soap smells absolutely divine! The scent is soft, warm, sweet but not overly so. Very pleasant and unique. The soap lathers well and makes my skin so soft. The only thing preventing me giving 5 stars, is that it has too many oats, which can feel quite rough on skin. And because the oats, the soap does not last very long until it gets too abrasive to use :(

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

It cleans well, it exfoliates, it smells amazing (warm and not overpowering) and it leaves a silky feeling. I would recommend this as the best soap ever. I love the pieces of oatmeal that give it a nice texture feel like an invigorating massage for your skin.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

Delish. Makes an early morning fun and yummy. So soothing to dry temperamental skin. I love this soap; it's my all time Lush fave.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I have Keratosis Pilaris (A build up of keratin in the hair follicles that can happen anywhere on the body but the palms of the hand. It's also known as chicken skin bumps because that's what it looks like.) If you have it this is a must have! This is the only thing that has significantly improved the appearance of my chicken skin. This is amazing. This is the product that got me hooked on LUSH. I find that if you let it dry out really well between uses it last much longer and the oats don't fall out as quickly.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

Not my fave, but still does the job. The consistency is creamy and doesn't dry skin out. I wish there was a little more orange fragrance. I like that it is a gentle exfoliant.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

i absolutely love this so much! the biggest downfall is the chunks. there are so many at the bottom of my shower afterwords :( i feel like its a huge waste. i just wish it would last longer. i havent decided whether i'll buy again or not.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

As a LUSH virgin, this product was my first. I'm getting up there in age and wanted to use something natural and gentler for my aging sensitive skin. I decided to check out what all the LUSH hype is all about.

After two weeks of use I've noticed a difference in my skin texture, as well as my husband. My skin (all around) is smoother, softer, and shaving bumps/irritation/in-growns greatly minimized. The scent is also very soft and soothing.

Since it has bits of oatmeal, resembling golden brown pebbles, there will be a scattering of it in your shower/tub. It's not a hassle to clean-up for me since I always rinse out my shower after use. No problems with a clogged drain yet either.

Overall, this is a great exfoliating and gentle cleansing soap. I'm greatly pleased and will continue using this as my daily soap cleanser as long as it is available.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I had went to my local Lush in [...] and told the gals working (who were just awesome and so helpful) that I wanted a relaxing soap for when I was done with my nightly workouts. This is the first one they directed me too. It smells amazing. The oats really feel great on rough patches. It felt great on aching feet (the track is not kind to my feet so I really appreciate this). It lathered great and I was able to use it all over. The only issues I had was the oats left in the tub and when I got out I felt like I might need some lotion. I think this may be partly to do with the fact that I was generous (read as liked the smell too much to stop running it over my skin) in my use of the soap. All in all I'm excited to use it again as well as the other Lush products the girls suggested to me. For sure worth a try!

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I am very, very happy with this product. It smells wonderful and leaves my skin feeling soft and amazing. The only problem, which is very small, is the trail of oats left in the shower. They are easily washed away so it's not really a problem at all.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

I love the smell of this soap, and I do like the way it cleans and leaves my sensitive skin feeling soft. But the sheer QUANTITY and size of the oat pieces makes the texture way too rough to use straight from the bar...I have to continuously lather it in my hands, then apply the lather to my skin. The one time I tried to rub the bar itself on my skin, I ended up with dark red scratches. So, I cannot take advantage of the "exfoliating quality" of this soap.

Also, while I expected that a certain amount of oat pieces would end up on the tub floor, I ended up feeling as though I was bathing in a big bowl of granola. SO MESSY, and frankly, a bit of a turn-off.

I won't be purchasing this particular variety again.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

This is the only bar soap I use regularly, and I LOVE it! It is so soothing, both to the skin and to your nose. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star- there are A LOT of oat hulls in it, and that makes the soap not last very long. For being so expensive, it's a major downfall.

Comments about LUSH Porridge:

Porridge IS AMAZING. It smells so sweet, like chocolate to me, And all the little oats in it feel great and exfoliate so well. It lathers great too. I even like to use it when I shave my legs instead of normal shaving cream. I follow it up with Lush Coco Lotion, and am perfectly moisturized all day :)
