Feedback

It does lather up really well but it left my face (and any hair around my bangs) feeling really weird. I can’t even describe it. The second time I washed my face with the soap a bunch of my skin peeled off around my chin/ nose area. I was concerned, but I thought,hey it must be working by getting rid of dead skin. Well, by the fourth day of using the soap (morning and night) my face was so raw and swollen I had to stop using it for fear that all my skin would fall off!! I don’t understand it because I don’t normally have particularly sensitive skin! I’m in the process of returning the soap now. Oh and after my skin peeled off, I broke out worse than ever!!! I’m still trying to recover from the whole thing. I’m really glad it worked for you…but it definitely didn’t work for me

Our Conclusion

Although washing your face in gold seems like a luxiourius and exciting idea, this product which has ingredients
which can help to rejuvenate the skin, does not contain the best ingredients to target and treat acne. Using this soap can make your skin smoother and reduce the swelling of acne but it will may not treat your acne or prevent your acne from returning. It can also cause excessive drying which in turn, can cause further breakouts.
