This silky soap was a hit with reviewers. One writes, "Caress bars are perfect for everyday use. The bar lathers up nicely and really gets my skin feeling clean. When I'm done, there's no residue left and my skin feels so soft. The relaxing, perfumed scent lingers on my skin all day. I would highly recommend this!" Another says, "The bar lasts a lot longer than a huge bottle of body wash, and the whole bathroom smells great whenever I use this soap. Bonus: You can use it in place of shaving cream for silky, smooth results."

Readers were impressed by the luxe quality of this bar soap. One reader raves, "I honestly wish I could shower 24 hours a day just to use this soap! The scent and texture are heavenly, and my normally dry, itchy skin is comfortable and ridiculously soft. I am in love." Another reader adds, "I am addicted to all things with shea butter, and this lovely line of soaps by L'Occitane is right at the top of my list. It's gentle and soothing on the skin, works up a decent lather, and the shea butter scent won't compete with your perfume."

What image pops into your head when you hear the word "bar soap"? I instantly think of those plain, paper-wrapped soaps in hotel bathrooms. You know, the ones that always end up melting into the shower or sink after one use?

Basically, bar soaps get a resounding "meh," and I'll be the first to admit I've stuck with my trusty body wash for a while now. But after years of bar soaps staying out of the spotlight, they're back. Beauty junkies everywhere are swapping out their shower gel for a bar soap -- and I'm one of 'em.

Turns out there is a breed of bars that can pack as much luxury (if not more) than their liquid counterparts, and Total Beauty readers have found them. Our reviewers have ranked these must-have bar soaps from better to best, so you can skip the dry, tight skin and go straight to soft and supple in one step.
