Happy Monday everyone! It's been a week since my last post and I'm still not sure if I can retrieve all my photos from my broken laptop. Even though I haven't updated my post, I still manage to read my favorite topics from GT forum and posts from beauty and fashion bloggers. I still think that my day is incomplete if I have overdue posts waiting to be publish. So today, I'll be reviewing a product that I bought weeks ago at HBC. This post is more of a rant. I thought this soap is organic because of the "Natural Body Recipe" that is printed on the new packaging. I also gave this soap a try because I read in GT that it has a micro peeling effect.
I asked the SA about the whole product line. There's also a Calamansi soap that is not transparent and the difference is that it's not glycerin based. She said that glycerin based soap is more concentrated so I'm convinced and bought the smaller size.

What I like:
- The scent- citrusy but not overpowering
- Inexpensive
- Easily available
- Has manufacturing, batch and expiry date printed on the packaging
What I don't like:
- Gave me cystic pimples on my cheeks
- I find it hard to make rich and foamy lather
- It didn't gave me the micro peeling thing-y that I wanted
Will I repurchase? No, I still have the other half and discontinued using it.
Recommendation:
I give this soap a 3/5 rating. Maybe it's only me who broke out with this soap. I'm not sure if I'm allergic to one of its ingredients. But when I googled information on glycerin based soap, I learned that this should help moisturize the skin and is suitable for people with acne, dry and sensitive skin.
I'm planning to try generic glycerin soap but breaking out is a no no. So I think I have to do some reading and ask for your opinion. Any thoughts on glycerin soap?Thanks for sharing!
Good Times!~
