I have tried other lotion bars, but they all pale in comparison to Kate McCleod. They were either too hard, too soft, melted too much, or didn't melt enough. This one is perfect. It melts beautifully but isn't messy. My skin has never been so soft, and the softness lasts! I use it every night after my bath or shower, and it feels like such a lovely ritual. Regular lotion in a bottle just can't compete with this experience. I opted for the Forest scent, as I love woodsy scents. It doesn't disappoint. It's present, but subtle. I really couldn't be happier with my purchase... And I will be back for more. I want to try the Breathe bar next.
