What is the Solidified Cleanser trend?

Solidified Cleanser: Though traditional bar soaps for facial cleansing have been avoided in the past few years due to their drying properties, facial cleansers are now coming in reformatted, solid forms that avoid this issue. These products are able to combine both novelty and convenience in one compact form, offering a distinct selling point for consumers seeking both.
