Grandpa's Brands Company Pine Tar Soap Review

Grandpa's Brands Company Pine Tar Soap
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me start by saying that I KNEW this soap had a very unique smell, described by other reviewers as being similar to a campfire.I thought that would be fine, since I love camping and campfires.Unfortunately, the soap I received smells nothing like a campfire; rather, it smells like a pile of burning tires.Or like burning garbage.(Having grown up in the country, I know what both of those things smell like.)

Anyway, despite the awful smell, I tried using this soap several times.Contrary to what is written on the packaging, it did not lather white; the lather was more of a brownish-yellow.Fortunately it didn't seem to leave any discoloration on my skin.But the main reason that I won't be using this soap again is because the smell stayed on my skin for a very long time... 8+ hours.I could have lived with the brown lather and the nasty smell IF the smell had not stayed on my skin... but there is no way I'm going to go out in public smelling like a trash fire.Not gonna happen!

I really, really wanted to like this soap.I've been searching for something that would help with acne and seb derm, and this soap seems to get a lot of good reviews from folks with those conditions.I'm wondering if the manufacturer changed the formula or something, because the soap I received is just nasty and is not like the soap described in the other reviews.

Anyway, give it a try, but be prepared to smell like ashes and cinders.

I have acne prone skin that can also be very dry.This soap is gentle but cleanses my skin well and seems to help balance it out.It is a tad drying on the face, but no more than other products I have used (in fact less than most), and I use a moisturiser anyway.It does not smell as strong as other sulphur soaps.Great value.

VitaMedica Healthy Skin Formula with Vitamin A, Zinc, MSM and Cleansing Herbs, 60 Capsules Review

VitaMedica Healthy Skin Formula with Vitamin A, Zinc, MSM and Cleansing Herbs, 60 Capsules
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have cystic acne and was hoping this would work wonders compared to my zinc supplement that works really well but leaves me with super dry skin. I did not give this a full 30 days try because it wasn't doing anything for my acne after using it for a week. Some may think it's unreasonable to conclude that it doesn't really work without using it for at least a month. But if my cheap zinc supplement can work in less than a week then why can't this for 3 times the price? The ingredients are what enticed me to buy this, sadly it didn't work. You could try it out, perhaps it may work for other kinds of acne.

Product Description:
VitaMedica's Healthy Skin Formula is designed for individuals with mild to moderate acne and other inflammatory skin diseases including psoriasis and eczema. The formulation provides a natural alternative to prescription medications such as antibiotics and Accutane® which display potent activity but may have significant side-effects. VitaMedica's Healthy Skin Formula is a nutritional supplement that provides internal skin care by enhancing the body's natural systems for repairing, cleansing and healing. The supplement is intended as an adjunctive therapy to the topical products and/or treatments that skin care professionals recommend for acne patients. Many topical treatments for the care of acne and inflammatory disorders of the skin are currently available. While effective, these regimens contain products that produce an action primarily on the outer layer of the skin. Although the topical approach represents the foundation of good skin care, it also makes sense to address what is going on internally. That's because what you put inside your body may be just as important as what you apply externally. Other acne treatments, including prescription medications such as antibiotics and Accutane®, can display potent activity but may have significant side-effects. Natural medicines tend to be milder, safer and are far less likely to cause negative reactions.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I tried this "acne remedy" and was totally skeptical about it working. I only got it because it was cheap and worth a try. It took 2 days to clear up my moderate acne, and it also evened out my skin tone which was also nice. The only down side is that it smells awful.
My boyfriend tried using it to clear up his psoriasis because we found a few websites that said it worked for that, but it didn't really do anything. It just treats acne. But really, my skin hasn't even felt cleaner.

Now Foods Jojoba Oil Pure Review

Now Foods Jojoba Oil Pure
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I deep fried my hair with bleach about 8 times, it's been every color of the rainbow and then some, I relaxed it, etc. Everything you could do wrong to your hair, I've done! BUT... Just when I thought all hope was lost, I tried using a little jojoba oil in my hair before flat-ironing it (with a CHI, of course <3) wow. just wow. My hair is just as soft, if not softer than it was before I ever burned it a million times over. It comes out very straight, and the style holds very well. Mind you, it's really easy to over do it with this oil because it's so concentrated, but I personally don't trust it unless it comes pure. For shoulder length hair like mine, I use about 3 or 4 drops each time. THAT'S IT. Or it'll look more oily than the fields in the middle east. I've done this on my sister's hair (which is completely different, it's very kinky) and it works even better. Since her hair isn't bleached, it not only comes out straight and soft but shiny as well (and not in the omg oil way). I love this stuff so much. Without it, I might have had to shave off all of my hair! :x (oh yeah, make sure to straighten/style with this oil after your hair is already dried)

Oh, and this makes a wonderful skin moisturizer as well. (Only good if you like the shiny-ish glowing goddess look on your skin)

PS GREAT if you are acne prone, this oil is very similar to the oil our skin naturally makes so if you use it you won't break out like no tomorrow.

PSS On occasion, I will combine this with a dime-size drop of Biosilk Silk Therapy: Silk Treatment for styles with more volume. Mix the two in the palm of your hands and brush through your hair lightly with it. The Sally Beauty Generic of Biosilk works just as well. =)

Miracle II Regular Soap 22 Oz (Miracle 2) Review

Miracle II Regular Soap 22 Oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
More than a year ago my alternative health practitioner recommended I buy this product and mix three drops of it in a glass of water twice daily for a health challenge I was having. I don't know if drinking it had any effect at all honestly. But I got curious about the product and found out that it was created by a man who had a healing of some sort while watching one of those Bible-thumping TV evangelical shows. Then God showed him the formula for this soap one night by projecting it onto this bedroom wall. His wife couldn't see it and I think she got him a pencil and paper and he wrote it down, began making it and giving it away. Soon people told him of all kinds of physical miracles that were happening from using this soap.

I am not a churchgoer and stay away from Industrialized Religion completely. God knows I would never watch Pat Robertson and his ilk nor give money to a ministry. Yet I am open-minded enough to consider the possibility that this man had a genuine non-dual spiritual experience and translated it the only way he could. So I began to bathe with it.

Never would have I considered using the same soap I use on my body on my face as I have always had sensitive skin and acne. Now, not only do I wash my body AND face with this soap but I shave with it as well. My skin looks better than ever now. Later I bought some Miracle II Neutralizer, mixed it with this soap and began to soak in it. I have sensitive spots on my forearms that sunburn easily. Very soon after beginning to soak in this soap my forearms broke out for a few weeks oozing pus. Sound nasty doesn't it? Maybe even enough to make you not want to use it. But I understood the breakout to be a detox actiion and the breakout soon healed. This soap does have strong detox properties. Another poster mentioned body odors when using this soap. That is the detox properties in action I imagine.

People claim all kind of crazy benefits from using this soap. I can only attest that it repels mosquitos completely when used without dilution and applied as a gel. I don't like to wash my hair with it b/c it seems my hair just simply isn't that clean after rinsing. Possibly there is a residue left in the hair. I mix it with water, put it in a spray bottle and use it to do all sorts of cleaning around the house.

Do I like this stuff? You betcha! I will be buying another gallon jug of it soon.

Organic Argan Oil Review

Average Reviews:

I have been using this product for approximately 4 months. At bedtime I mix it with several drops of Hyaluronic Acid serum from Swanson Vitamins and apply it to my face, lips and neck. The serum helps make the oil easier to smooth over my face and neck. I also use it on my hands, nails, hair and scalp. Am seeing great results. My skin seems to glow from within, eye area is smooth and less puffy then when I use eye gels/creams, nails are not as dry and brittle and I have also noticed that my make-up last all day with minimal meltdown (less touch-ups) even in the heat of Miami! The bottle contains 30 ml or a little over 1 fl oz and dispenses the oil by pump so there is zero waste of precious oil. Love this oil, and plan to continue using it as long as it is available.

Magic Peeling Exfoliating Glove Review

Magic Peeling Exfoliating Glove
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've tried virtually every sort of exfoliating glove available and wasted a lot of money over the years.I figured I'd give this a shot based on the reviews and truth be told, wasn't expecting much.

Boy, was I wrong.The instructions to the glove's use are very clear and I used it exactly as directed.

No exaggeration, my skin hasn't felt this soft in years.I have very dry skin that lotion tends to "sit" on top of.I found that after using the glove, the lotion truly absorbed into my skin and it feels absolutely hydrated.

The directions do caution that the product should only be used twice weekly on "mature" skin.It must be for a reason.The glove exfoliated my skin to the point where I found that my body lotion stung me in a couple areas where I must have rubbed too vigorously.

I'm a (shocked) believer.
