Lush : Fresh Farmacy

lush has quirky natural skincare and all they're stuff smells super good but fresh farmacy was a little bit drying. It worked really well in the first few weeks and after that it worked ok but definitely not as well.

It's a good product. I get quite painful pimples so this helped calm them down a lot. I understand what another reviewer said about the exfoliating component of the bar but this one does not have abrasive bits in it. In fact they're quite soft and in no way feel as if your face it being scrubbed away. If you buy a solid block of this (I think mine is 100g) you can cut slices off it to make it last longer. I think My block will make about 6 slices which may last a couple of weeks each. It didn't get rid of my pimples, just got rid of the redness and for that I'd recommend it.

This soap went a long way in healing my face after a bad reaction to Retin-A Micro (rash, scaling, drying, bumps). It leaves your skin super soft and smooth; does not strip essential oils from face. The jury's still out on whether it heals breakouts, but it doesn't do anything to aggravate spots, as so many cleansers do. Doesn't get all the makeup off, though, so I scrub using a gentle bamboo face cloth, and follow with toner.

It works, it just takes a little while. It made my skin a little worse at first, and dry in a few areas, but then (seemingly overnight), my skin was beautiful and clear! For as long as I can remember, I've had some kind of acne, whether it be pimples and blackheads all over, or deep, cystic (painful) bumps that take forever to go away... also, my skin gets very red, particularly where acne scars are, but not anymore! Now my skin is beautiful! This is the second time I've used it, but last time I only used it maybe a few times then gave up - I have to be consistent. It may not work as well for other people as it does for me, but give a shot--and time to work--and maybe it will! Oh, and I don't really notice a smell... nothing irritating or anything.

LOVE IT.

Only been using this cleanser for a month or so, and there's still 90% left! No packaging, and fresh, natural ingredients which is hard to find on such a low budget. Using with Lush's Tea Tree Toner and Vanishing Cream as a moisturiser, I am no longer breaking out every day.. only the odd single spot every few days! Progress! Worth a try, especially if you go in store and ask for a finger sized sample for free, so you'll find out if it's the one for you :) Really hoping this doesn't stop working like other cleansers I've tried as my bathroom smells like a Lush shop now! I can understand the scent might not be for everyone, but it sure is okay for me. 4/5 overall!

I tried this thinking it'd be really good since most Lush products are fantastic. No such luck sadly, it made my face burn for some reason! It really irritated. Not for me.

Everyone should know that all the acne cleansers that Lush sells (Coalface, Fresh Farmacy, Mask of magnimity) are scrubs. As in, they contain some sort of hard grainy bits that scrub your face. This might be good for some kinds of acne, but I know from all the research I've done that any kind of irritation is bad for acne-prone skin. I found that this stuff turned my mild-moderate acne into moderate-severe acne. Sure, it feels nice to scrub at your skin, but you run the risk of making things worse. Everyone has differnt skin, so you should probably talk to a derm before deciding that a scrub is right for your skin. It wasn't for me!

I like this soap a lot. I have been using it for six months now and I just wonder if is going to keep on working, or I'll have to go back to the never ending search for a cleanser that works. Also that inch 1/4 bar I bought last me for 14 weeks, which is not bad for the price. Give it a try, and if you visit a Lush store, and sure they will let you have a little free sample.
