5 Stars At Last….Something That Truly Works
Okay, I too am a 30 something female, that has battled acne since the age of 10. I’ve tried it all - prescription and non prescription topical creams, antibiotics, birth control pills, homemade remedies - baking soda - honey - crushed aspirin to exfoliate (which does a good job at exfoliating). But none of them ever worked beyond a month or two. I would get to the point to where I tried anything. I said all that to say, this soap is truly amazing. I get whiteheads, blackheads AND cystic acne -which as acne sufferers know can be painful and a pain in the you know what. Anyway, I tried the travel size bar, and I saw results in about 3days w/existing acne minimizing. The pores on my nose have become less noticeable, and it doesn’t dry my skin out - I have very oily skin. I ordered 2 travel size bars just to give it a go for a month and like the other reviewer said - with the exception of that time of the month my face is pretty much clear. None of the typical acne flareups I would get. It even seems as though the dark marks I’ve had from picking at the pimples on my face have gotten lighter as well. One travel bar lasted me about 15 days. It is a little pricey but for something that has helped me with my more than 2 decade old acne problem I think it’s well worth it. I wish I had taken photos of my face before my first use so, that I could have a comparison photo. All in all I think this is a very good product and for anyone that has been a true longtime sufferer of acne like I have - give it a shot - it just may work for you too.

5 Stars COR Silver Soap worked when nothing else did!
I am in my middle 30’s and have had bad hormonal acne, again, for the last year. I had been seeing the dermatologist monthly for facials, peels and microderm with fair results. I just couldn’t seem to get rid of the ance, it was better, but not gone. So I am ordering my other skincare stuff and see the COR Silver Soap. I ordered the trial size, I had nothing to lose. That was a month ago, I have clear skin! Of course around that time of the month I am having a little flare up, but I am back to normal. I am not sure how or why, but it works. I recommend giving it a try.

5 Stars BEST!! SOAP EVER!!!
Cor soap is THEEEE BEST! Bottom line!

it works for any skin condition.

Starts working right away.

I love the fact that it is actually putting collagen BACK into my skin!!!

Results are SUPERB!

The ONLY bad thing to say about it is,it melts in water….kinda like neutragena soap….but with special care,this problem is solved FAST!

Purchase several travel size bars,This way,the “BIG” $125.00 bar isnt getting wet,for however many washes,it lasts….

Give it a try!

WORTH IT!

3 Stars much ado about nothing
The hype does not match the reality. The soap burns. I have very healthy, well cared for skin. I expected more “glow” and “youthful appearance”. Instead I was met with a stinging uncomfortable sensation. I am grateful I did not pay for a large size soap. We the public are too gullible and want to believe in fairy tales. I have now returned to my olive oil and I once again Glow and look Youthful and fresh. If it isn’t broken don’t fix it. My advice do not waste your money.

5 Stars Great stuff for acne-prone skin
I’ve been using this gel for about 2 years now. I have 40 yr old acne-prone skin, and it’s not easy to find a product that will take care of aging and acne. NeoStrata Gel will help with both. It makes my pores appear clearer and smaller, takes care of blackheads, and smooths wrinkles. Once when I ran out of this product, I did without it for about 2 weeks. It was amazing how much I missed the NeoStrata when my blackheads started appearing around my nose again, and my skin appeared more blotchy. I ordered more NeoStrata, and within a week or two, my skin had returned to the smoother, clearer appearance.

Be careful when you first start using this product. I recommend trying a lower concentration of AHA first, and then going to the AHA 15 gel. This is strong stuff, and if you aren’t used to AHA, then expect some burning and even some peeling at first - but stick with it - the peeling will stop when your skin acclimates to the gel.

4 Stars A filler for my shopping cart….
I was annoyingly short $3.00 for Amazon Free Shipping. So I added this item to my shopping cart.

The product itself was okay. Although there were several sheets, the sheets were extremely thin and did not work that great. They are the same paper consistency of the toilet seat covers you use in public restrooms.

I liked the ones from Bath and Body Works better. This item did remove oil, but it took three or four sheets for it to do the job whereas I only needed one or two from Bath and Body Works.

Overall, it was a good filler for my shopping cart. I didn’t like the item too much because of the quantity I had to use…but it did work.

4 Stars Good Product
I’m in my early twenties and, having acne prone skin, have tried several different skincare regimes. I used proactive for a while, but it seemed to lose its potency so I started trying similar products. This one came up unexpectedly but I’m so glad it did because it is extremely efficient at fighting sudden breakouts as well as keeping them at bay. Currently, I’m using the proactive cleanser, then this product, and and oil-free moisterizer if needed. Hope this helps!

5 Stars Great for acne prone skin
The product IS strong (it is intended for men), but it clears acne like nothing else. I am in my mid-thirties and still have oily, acne-prone skin. I often have breakouts on my chin, and the Blue Astringent clears them overnight. The Blue cleanser from the same line also works great.

I highly recommend this product; I tried a lot of astringents, and this is by far one of the best.

2 Stars Not a lotion
I found this product to be way too harsh and I have oily to combination skin. It stung my skin and the smell was way too strong (menthol). It will literally take your breath away. I purchased this item because I kept reading in magazines how wonderful this astringent worked. Save your money cause its not unless your face can take a beating. Fortunately I was able to return this product and get my money back.

5 Stars You Get What You Pay For
The entire Kiehl’s Blue line not only works seamlessly together, but it actually works. The Blue products fight acne and oily skin (oily T-zone). I use the Blue routine twice a day and within the first few days, I noticed a remarkable difference in my skin tone, breakouts, and acne redness. I do not have a severe case of acne by any means, but I do get several breakouts at once. The Blue product line has made my face look so much better that I don’t need any makeup on my face at all. I recommend going to the Kiehl’s website and filling out your profile for recommendations of products based on your skin type and desires. Then go to Nordstrom or a Kiehl’s store and they will help you even further and be more than happy to give you free samples. Kiehl’s is far from financially viable for me, but it was worth the splurge on the Blue products. I feel a lot better about how I look and feel. Thank you, Kiehl’s, for your superior products!

And no, this product is not intended for men. Kiehl’s brand is mainly a women’s/unisex line with a much smaller men’s-specific line (Ultimate Man). If you have sensitive skin, they have products made for that.

5 Stars Great Product
Kiehls astringent came packaged nicely in bubble wrap. What a fabulous product. Thanks you so much.
