6 or 7 months ago, I went through a bout of bad acne, and I started trying out all different types of cleansers, face washes, and what not. Nothing was truely helping my skin, and I have found that after this acne period, my skin has become very sensitive to fragrances and dyes. So I was on the search for a very simple and all natural cleanser. I had heard about Pears soap before, my Mom had once told me that my grandmother said Pears or Neutrogenas glycerin bar were the only soaps she would use. So when I saw this in the store the other day, I decided to pick it up and.............................. WOW! My skin is sooooooooooo much better! This is the only thing I will ever use for washing my face! Ill never use anything else again! I think the key to this soap is that it has no chemicals or irritants and it uses the least amount of ingredients. My skin feels so soft and silky after using Pears. The older generation always know best about products, :).
