The Best Facial Soap
I discovered the use of Pears bar soap as a facial cleanser from a acne discussion group. I have combination skin with moderate breakouts so I love how this keeps my skin clean without over-drying. It's absolutely one of the best finds for a $1.
Before I used Neutrogena glycerin facial bar soap as recommended by my dermatologist but I found that it was getting too expensive -- and it disappears fast! I found little or no difference in quality between Neutrogena and Pears. I actually prefer the green Pears because it's easier to rinse off the residue plus it lasts longer than Neutrogena.
My experience with amber Pears: I've also tried the amber Pears which has a few more ingredients than the green one. The amber one has more of a residue and will need a little more work to rinse off. At first I found the amber scent overpowering but I grew to like it because it reminded me of a vintage 1800's pharmacy stacked with beautiful bottled potions.
The green Pears has less of that medical scent and actually milder with Lemon Flower Extract. To me it smells like Chinese laundry soap with a hint of thyme. I find that both Pears soap leaves a gentle clean without a dry mask feeling.
It doesn't make my complexion look brighter as the old advertising claimed. That's too far fetched. Nonetheless it is an exceptional soap especially for one that is over 200 years old.More detail ...
