A shopping roundup promotes a tea tree oil soap marketed against age-related body odor and foot fungus, currently discounted to $9.99 from $13.99 through an affiliate link. The piece cites unnamed reviewers praising its lather, scent and effect on itching.

No independent testing, dermatological review, or verification of the discount's rarity accompanies the claims, which rest entirely on customer reviews aggregated by a retailer.
