Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I rarely, if ever, write reviews. I'm a 56-year-old male who basically had beautiful skin all through my 20s, 30s, and most of my 40s. In my late 40s, I started to notice red welts on my face and on parts of my neck. I thought they were rosacea, as I had battled that for quite a while (as it's chronic, as most are aware). These welts, or blotches, we're not whiteheads; they were red and protruded slightly. And they occasionally itched, although not always. But when they *did* itch, the itching was unbearable, and this led to scratching (especially in the wee hours of the night). Scratching one's face, of course, is never a good thing. I was miserable. I tried everything: antibiotics, topicals (too many to name), different soaps, etc. I bounced back and forth from a traditional razor blade to an electric razor. Nothing worked. A few months ago, a friend, who happened to be a dermatologist (and one of the original five who'd tried, but was unable, to help me find a cure) suggested Acnomel, a topical to be used only in spots (and not slathered all over an entire area indiscriminately). It helped, but I needed more; this was a reactive remedy. I needed something preventive to pair with the Acnomel. Via my own research, I came upon reviews for The Yellow Bird Peppermint Tea Tree Soap. I bought one bar. I was hopeful, but not too much so as I'd been disappointed many times before. I tried the soap when it arrived, and immediately felt a freshness on my face I'd never felt before. This was still not convincing, because several other remedies had worked briefly in the past, only to flame out as the welts (which, I failed to mention, were finally unanimously diagnosed as folliculitis) would return in 2-3 weeks. But something was different this time. My skin cleared up. I rarely needed the Acnomel. And not only did my skin clear up, but it looked radiant, healthy, and totally natural. I am not a sun worshipper so when my skin is healthy, it looks like a 20-year-old's. I was back to my old self. And with almost two months having passed, that's a fair amount of time to be able to say with confidence that this soap is the primary reason why I have *finally* defeated folliculitis. Of course, I must stay at it because it can always return, so I have purchased ten additional bars, and will keep purchasing more. I am astonished at my results. No professional was able to help (all were wonderful doctors, really nice people, and individuals who really cared and wanted to help me in the worst way!). But in the end, it's this soap that has changed my life. Literally changed my life! I feel and look great. Highly, highly recommended!!!
