I'll add my two cents
This helped my preteen daughter with HORRIBLE acne...nothing worked. We tried ProActive, Murad, OTC benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid products, sulfur soap...nothing. As a last resort I bought this Neem & Turmeric soap from this local Indian market...it's made by a company (that I've never heard of) Himalaya Protecting Neem & Turmeric soap. I figured why not? Nothing else ever worked. I started her to washing her face twice a day. I also bought a soft facial exfoliator for her to use on her lower cheek and chin area. She has stubborn black heads there.
I have REALLY seen a HUGE difference! I mean I think I paid about $2.50 for the bar and its made a huge difference. It's helped SOMEWHAT with the blackheads but I'm still giving it time. They don't seem to want to go anywhere
But the improvement I have seen gives me hope!
Besides this I started her using Clean & Clear astringent on the areas where she has the blackheads and she moisturizes with Aveeno Clear Complexion Moisterizer. Those may be helping now but she's been using these without the Neem & Turmeric soap to no avail!
If anyone is interested I've included a picture of the soap. They also have a face wash but I haven't tried that for either of us so in not sure about its effectiveness.
In addition. Once a week for myself I also use Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque...AMAZING for clearing up pimples for me! I've been using this for years and it's really cheap. It contains the following: Water, Kaolin, Bentonite, Glycerin, Zinc Oxide, Propylene Glycol, Sulfur, Chromium Oxide Greens (CI#77288), Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben HAI.
I use it as a full face mask and I also spot treat pimples overnight. Most times when I wake up its just about gone! Maybe a second night is required sometimes and that's it! It is drying so I'd be careful if you have dry skin. I'm oily so that isn't really a problem. I'm sure to still moisturize after use.
