Skin Care Review: Pristine Skincare Acne Bar

by Alex Huang, san francisco, CA, 94555

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
It took two months to see "real results", but those results are here to stay

Drawbacks
Microbeads might feel funny at first, but it works somehow

Details
My story with this acne bar is simple. I tried everything out over the counter and even proactiv. They work somehow, but sooner or later my skin will break out again. I really had no choice, but one day someone gives me a present. Someone gives me a bar of soap and tells me that it will all go away if I just use it twice a day. (its disrespectful for someone not to use a present, right?) They said its all natural and it will be good for my face. So instead of throwing it away, I gave it a try. This bar didn't work right away for me, but over time my breakouts were happening less and less. Within two months time, all my acne was gone. That is a pretty good result considering I didn't have to take any pills and just used the soap during my bath period.

The bar lasted for about two months since i just used it on my facial acne. So then i ended up buying another bar for maintenance. I was using this bar for another two months and haven't noticed any side effects yet. Still, i like the fact that I don't really have breakouts any longer. Other soaps/cleansers have worked in the past but there usually is a side effect if i do something like stay up all night or exercise excessively. Even when I work out and sweat a lot, this bar hasn't let me down yet. I think I had one tiny breakout while using this soap, but the weird part about it is the pimple/bump was so tiny and disappeared in a day or two.

Another good feature about the bar was it made my superficial acne scars shrink down to the point where I can only see them if i look in the mirror up close. Even then they almost look as if the were gone. Even the person who recommended me to the product told me that if i keep on using it more and more, that the light scars on my skin will begin to go away. I am on month 7 right now and am still impressed with the product to the point that I am going to continually use it and throw away all the other soaps that didn't work in my bathroom. I trusted it on my face and am now using it for body acne. Now I can have confidence when I work out because I won't break out.

Using this soap isn't that hard either. All you need to do is rinse your face, put a light layer of soap on the area, then massage in a circular motion and then rinse. You will feel those microbeads you see come out on some soaps and this soap has it too. The soap isn't high foaming, but is still effective. My take on it is if the microbeads are doing the scrubbing you won't need as much foam. Still this is a simple soap that i recommend for people who want to try something new when other things aren't working that well.

But the best feeling that this soap gives me is that I can touch my face and it will feel smooth as it was before the acne problems during my teen years. I don't really have any deep scars on my facial area, so I imagine this bar can't handle gashes, but for light acne scars you will feel the difference once you use this product.

Conclusions
two months wait, but its worth it, plus my scars seem to disappear.
