Recently I put in an order with Stirling Soaps to see if maybe traditional soaps will help me with my dry skin problem and it got me curious as to the pros and cons of traditional soaps vs modern cleansing bars. However, I couldn't find much reputable academic or scientific information on the subject, so I was wondering if anyone here knows of any? I'm not really interested in all the misinformed websites out there that blast cleansing bars as bad without evidence just because they have synthetic chemicals in them, which unfortunately seemed to be the preponderance of sites when I tried googling around, I want some sort of real evidence of the pros and cons of each (besides cost, obviously cleansing bars win there, usually).
I know it might be somewhat of a YMMV thing as to the pros and cons but I am a curious guy, after all.
