      Magic Crystals Get the Job Done! An unscented bar with rich lather and just the right amount of “crystals” to exfoliate. The packaging, presentation and environmental friendly approach to materials used makes it a “feel good” and “doing good” dual benefit. I am achieving the results that were promised. Application 1x/per week is sufficient however you need to keep up with a moisturizer of your choosing to maintain the trouble spots that you are tending too.

      Relevant Concerns: Bumpy arms and legs, dry skin, uneven texture

      A must-have set I have been using the buffing bar and storing it in its soap home for a month and I can't recommend both of these products enough. The buffing bar has completely changed the texture of my arms and legs and it's so nice to have a place to put the bar where it's safe away from water in the shower when not in use. I didn't think an exfoliating bar could be life-changing but I am happy to be proven wrong!
      I would recommend this product to: Anyone!

      Relevant Concerns: Chronically dry skin; ingrown hairs

      Helping my lizard skin Ok, I'm pretty obsessed with this kit. Long story short I have a lot of chronic health issues and despite daily moisturizing (I'm talking body oil then cream on top) my legs are cracked lizard skin. I am also lazy and hate the prospect of scooping a goopy exfoliator out of a jar every shower. I have been dreaming of something like this my whole life. The buffing bar is amazing and provides really deep physical exfoliation in a super easy way. My cracked legs are already improving and so are my ingrown hairs. Plus, the scent on the ltd edition bar is subtle and lovely and the soap home is brilliant. It looks sexy in my shower all while preventing the bar from becoming a pile of mush.

      Baby skin accomplished I am obsessed with the buffing bar. I use it during every shower. I used to use a body brush, but I never felt like it was doing enough. This is the real deal! I feel so soft and my skin is very ready for moisturizer after the shower.
      I would recommend this product to: Anyone, as long as you are a fan of intense exfoliation. This bar is not a drill!

      Absolute MAGIC in a blue bar This thing is pure magic in a bar. I have kp and butt acne and nothing has ever worked the way this product does. My skin is GLOWING, no more ingrown hairs anywhere, just smooth surface all round - I still can’t believe how this works so well. I use the bar daily (disclaimer: my skin is quite thick, not sensitive) and on top I use my fav shower gel and even just with that my skin appears so juicy after shower. My skin drinks the moisturizer like butter after it. All butt bumps have gone. I’m going through a bar per 4 weeks too so honestly it’s an excellent bang for your buck. On top of that the dish is just so pretty, very functional (i leave the bar on the dish, cover it and then use the cover top as the tray for another soap bar i use in the shower). And for my packaging fans, you will get surprised at the level of care these people have put in the whole customer journey. Just unbelievable.
      I would recommend this product to: Anyone who struggles with ingrown hairs, the marks these leave on your skin, preparing your skin for shaving.

      Smooth skin!! This soap will really buff off any rough spots, self tanner, etc. The granules are so fine, yet so strong! A little rough for sensitive areas, but perfect for legs, arms, and bum. I love the protective case so that it doesn’t melt away in the shower!
      I would recommend this product to: Anyone who self tans, shaves, or struggles with rough skin or clogged pores.

      Super convenient and efficient addition to my cleansing routine! I love the texture of the buffing bar - it is easy to grip when you use it, and the micro-crystals give you just the right amount of exfoliation. It's not too harsh, and there's still a creamy, soapy consistency to it so you know that your skin is getting a moisturized cleanse at the same time as an exfoliation. I also love that this is a BAR, rather then another bulky, plastic bottle that needs to be stored on my already cramped, small, shower storage shelf.
      I would recommend this product to: Anyone who has KP, works out a lot and gets acne from the sweat, wants their feet to be less rough without having to get routine pedicures

      The shower essential I didn’t know I needed… As someone who cannot handle high maintenance self care, this bar is a WIN! If you’ve had trouble seeing any difference with all the exfoliating products under the sun before this, highly recommend you give this bar a go!!

      Verified Purchase

      Undeniably worth it Absolutely everything was made so thoughtfully and with the highest quality. The holder is genius and is absolutely worth it for the longevity of the bars as well as adding such a beautiful accent to the shower. The bar itself is nothing short of magic and has erased decades of stubborn dryness and roughness on my heels as well as the keratosis polaris on my arms. My sensitive skin is undeniably smoother and softer and I don’t think I’ll ever stop repurchasing. This is without a doubt worth trying if you’re on the fence.
      I would recommend this product to: Anyone who uses rough pumice stones or other abrasives on tough areas. This is more effective and less harsh.

      worth the money I had high expectations for soft services, and luckily this set exceeded them! I struggle with terrible body acne and I self tan a lot, so serious exfoliation is needed every few days to keep things looking even. Even though the buffing bar looks like a bar of soap, it's really so much more than that, and the soap home is really functional and chic. will be repurchasing.
      I would recommend this product to: anyone who exfoliates regularly

      10 stars!! Holy grail status. This is the most effective product I have bought in the last…I can’t remember years. I’m in shock over the difference in my callused heels. This is with weekly use. I can’t imagine how much better they would be if I was using it more regularly. The same goes for the rough skin around my knees prone to ingrown hairs, elbows and tougher skin around my ankles. The ceramic keeper is smartly designed, and I’m glad I have it, but the bars are the stars. I will be repurchasing as long as they make them and plan to buy for my mom and sisters too.
      I would recommend this product to: ANYONE

      best thing for my kp I have really been loving this. I have had KP for as long as I remember and this is the best product I have used. My arms feel so much smoother and I like that it is not too harsh. I also really love the soap holder. I am able to leave it in my shower covered which is such a great design feature.

      Verified Purchase

      really wanted to love this I so badly wanted to love this. After finding out about Soft Services from the Jones Road blog, I've been obsessed with Soft Services' branding and perspective and products - like, even unboxing this was such a memorable experience (that printed paper wrapping!). Unfortunately, this soap was not great. The exfoliating microcrystals aren't as fine as the Glossier Body Bar, the blue scent was "meh," and the soap formula sadly was so stripping that it gave me that... post-drugstore bar soap feel to my skin? The best thing I can say is it was non-irritating. Otherwise, it's just not worth it - avoid this if you have chronically dry skin like me.

      Featured Product Review: Buffing Bar Straight white male approved! Bought the buffing bar for razor bumps and buttne, these were gone within a week of using. My skin has never been softer, I'm even shaving my legs less. My partner (straight white male) loves it too...I had to buy a set for him. 100% recommend!

      Featured Product Review: Buffing Bar KP obliterated. By the time I got halfway through the bar, my skin/KP was smoother and clearer than ever. I was so impressed that I had to give the second bar to my cousin who was experiencing bad KP post pregnancy. I couldn't wait to hear her review and she said that even after one use her KP was less red!
      I would recommend this product to: Anyone looking to get smoother skin, clear their KP, rough patches, booty bumps, etc.

      Featured Product Review: Soap Home Functionally excellent and a very clever design. The buffing bar doesn’t stick to the ribbed ceramic dish which is a huge plus, and the splash shield is a very innovative way to extend the life of the buffing bar (or any other soap). The colors are also excellent - the vibrant blue is sure to go with most decor. I don’t have a need for the use case of storing the cover under the soap dish but I could see how that would be helpful for some.
      I would recommend this product to: All buffing bar users who want to extend the life of their buffing bars, especially in the shower. In addition, anyone who uses high quality soap would likely see the value and benefit from this product. When we move soon, I’m strongly considering getting a second for another bathroom.

      Featured Product Review: Buffing Bar Buy this bar immediately. This bar is the most amazing skincare product I have ever owned. I've been struggling with KP on my arms and legs for years. Nothing worked - lotions, potions, scrubbers, medicated products, etc. This bar got me smooth, NOT IRRITATED skin in a matter of days. Witchcraft? Mayhaps. I don't care. This bar is magic.
      I would recommend this product to: Anyone who wants smoother, more evenly toned skin.

      Relevant Concerns: Keratosis Pilaris

      Featured Product Review: Buffing Bar MY KP IS GONE! When I say I have NEVER used a product that worked this fast and this good, please believe me! I have struggled with KP (keratosis pilaris/strawberry skin/chicken skin) for the majority of my life. It left me feeling insecure, ugly, and ashamed that I couldn’t figure out how to make it go away. I have used every type of scrub, every type of soap, every type of lotion/cream and chemical peel. NOTHING worked and in some cases my KP got worse or my skin became raw and scarred from over exfoliating (even though the bumps were still there!) I never wore dresses, I never wore shorts and swimming was out of the question. I literally felt trapped in my own skin! Then one day I did a google search for microcrystal exfoliation (I’ve looked before so I wasn’t expecting much) and this little blue bar in paper wrapping popped up in the search results. GAME CHANGER! After one use I noticed a SIGNIFICANT reduction in my KP. After 1 week my KP was COMPLETELY GONE on my legs! I literally cried! Soft Services you have a forever customer in me. You changed my life and gave me my confidence and my skin back. Thank you so much. I feel beautiful for the first time in a long time.

      Featured Product Review: Soap Home I love the soap home! I find the product to be quite beautiful. I love how the bright blue bar pops against the soft pink ❤️ I think it’s a really unique design and I love that it has a cover to protect the bar from water in the shower. Since I have a smaller shower I think that’s why I was having trouble keeping my bar out of the splash zone. I was a bit nervous that it wouldn’t fit properly on the ledge in my shower but it actually fit just right. I appreciate that it feels heavy and sturdy- I have peace of mind that it will stay put and I don’t have to worry about it falling off the shelf. I also love that the cover part that you are picking up to access your bar is not breakable! I am still not sure about when I would put the metal part on the bottom as opposed to on the top, I just lift it and grab the bar then set it back in place.
      I would recommend this product to: I would definitely recommend to anyone who has a smaller shower space where it’s tricky to keep your products dry.
