While Dove creates fluffy lather, Amplestone has a slippery feel with a rich, creamy texture. You can really sense the high ampoule content when using it. However, when using just your hands, it doesn't produce as much lather. ▪ Scent: The sandalwood fragrance might be divisive, but I enjoyed its unisex appeal. I thought the scent would dissipate quickly after showering, but it had surprising longevity, which left me feeling refreshed post-shower. The soap itself is quite fragrant, so it could even act as a mild air freshener.
Cons▪ Dryness: Despite the high ampoule content, I expected more hydration. Compared to the initial rich texture, I felt some dryness after showering. I have dry skin and use body emulsion even in summer, so that could be a factor... but I noticed significant dryness on my elbows and calves. ▪ Shape: While the gua sha shape is Amplestone's signature design, I found the curved form somewhat inconvenient to use. When using the soap directly without a mesh pouch, the grip wasn't great, and I often dropped it. Though it has a firm texture, it did get slightly mushy when dropped. Also, due to its slipperiness, it was challenging to give myself a firm, invigorating massage during showers.
TipIt stored well on a standard wall-mounted soap dish without getting soggy or deteriorating.

Eco-Friendly Being a soap product, it's great that it doesn't produce plastic waste. Plus, compared to liquid products, you can create just the right amount of lather, avoiding waste. 2. Ampoule Soap As an ampoule soap, the initial lather isn't so much thick and creamy as it is viscous, like an ampoule. True to its name, the finish is impressively gentle. The cleansing effectiveness is quite good too. It leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean. 3. Sandalwood Scent The sandalwood fragrance is subtle and not overpowering, making the whole washing experience feel like a spa treatment. 4. Gua Sha Shape The gua sha shape helps stimulate the neck area, aiding in stress relief. My shoulders often get tense, but when I use the gua sha part to massage them, it produces plenty of lather and helps loosen up my muscles.
ConsThe gua sha doesn't provide a strong massage effect. I suppose it's because it's soap, so the intensity is weaker compared to regular gua sha tools. While it's an ampoule soap and feels gentle throughout, after towel drying, I notice some deep dryness. I have combination dehydrated skin with an oily surface and dry underneath.
TipIt's perfect when used with a soap dish.
