Basis All Clear discolored barsOctober 9, 2008 I also made a purchase on November 19, 2007 and received discolored all clear bars. I still used them thinking, maybe they had been stored in bad lighting. I did notice they were not as effective as before, but I still cannot find anything that works any better. So I guess I will stick with it. I have been using this soap since 1998 when my dermatologist recommended it to me and this is the only place I can find it.
I love this SoapSeptember 30, 2008 I really love ths soap. I happened upon it the first time on a deal site and ended up with a free bar. It has a very nice mild citrusy scent and I was concerned that the mildness of the soap would cause a flare up of my adult acne. I couldn't have be any more wrong. The soap has tea tree oil in which is a natural antibacterial with drying properties. It cleared up my acne and did not leave my skin dry. I personally love the stuff. I just wish the bars would last a little longer. Warning - do not leave this soap in a wet soapdish as it will turn into a mushy mess.
tea tree oil's lovely scentSeptember 29, 2008 I use this cleaner on my face. I like the shape, and the concave surface of one side fits right into the contours of the face. I love the fresh smell of the tea tree oil.
Best for oily or acne-prone skinAugust 15, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As many of the reviewers have commented, it has become difficult (not impossible) to find on store shelves. My best source has been in the Seattle, WA area; not convenient when you your main residence is in Chicago area.
I've tried other products, and have on occassion ran out and had to go back to other brands. Within a day I can tell the difference - my skin is oily, blackheads appear and I feel a general sense of not feeling as clean. Within 24hrs I'm back to my old, clean self. I wish they made a body shampoo!
Won't clear up acneMay 12, 2008 I used to use proactive & prescription acne cream & my doctor told me that I should get an antibacterial soap for my face to help get rid of my acne. I saw the reviews on this site and bought this soap. I stopped using the proactive & my prescription face cream (which both stain my pjs and bedclothes & can get pricey & time consuming) and started using this soap (in the a.m. & p.m.) and my acne got worse. That was after about 1-2 weeks. Now it's been about 4-5 weeks. My acne is better but it's still slightly there and it doesn't look as good as it was when I used proactive & my prescription. I'm hoping that with time the soap will start working better. I have 7.5 bars left so I might as well use them. Anyway, don't expect this soap to clear up your acne right away. Then again, everybody's skin is different so who knows.
