*The Magic of Cyleina Organic Tomato Soap*

This is my first entry in this blog so I'm really excited how this will turn out. =) Just two weeks ago, I came across a site (I actually can't remember what so I can't give you the link) that talked about how good and effective this product is. It claims to get rid of pimples and acne, counters the aging effect on the skin plus giving the cheeks a rosy glow. It's organic so it doesn't contain harmful chemical or ingredients commonly found in other kind of soaps. Curiosity got the better of me so I started looking up the internet for resellers on my area. I found a few and texted the numbers posted but sadly none of them replied. I continued searching the net and I was glad to be able to find one. I made the purchase, decided to buy 3 bars of it at 65 php each. Not too expensive for a 120 grams soap. The seller and I had a good business transaction and just 4 days ago, my soaps arrived. I had the package addressed to my beloved's workplace since I'll be coming over to visit him for a week. I got too excited with using it that the moment beloved handed me my soaps, I opened it hurriedly, went to the sink area and washed my face with it. I have been using it for four days straight now, mornings and evenings, so I guess I'm pretty ready to make my own review of it. 


What the product claims: 

• counters effect of aging on skin
• dries pimple fast
• counters oily skin by absorbing surplus oil
• gently exfoliates the skin
• tightens the pores  
• gives the cheek a rosy glow
• prevents pimple and acne formation

 I know you can't wait to hear my verdict so I won't be agonizing you too long anymore. Here it is, ladies and gents:

1. I still haven't noticed how it counters facial aging since I have just been using it for four days. I might give good feedback about this when I've used it for a much longer time period. I'll keep you posted though.
2. Yes, it does dry pimples so fast! I have a few tiny pimple bumps near the side of my nose prior to using this soap but they're all gone now. No more traces of a bump or anything. 
3. I have a combination/oily skin so I guess I'm really prone to break-outs. You can consider me lucky though since I don't break-out that much as compared to the others who have the same skin type as mine. A few zits here and there especially if I'm stressed and my time of the month. I only have problems with my T-zone though since it's where my face produces much oil but the tomato soap did wonders on my skin. I noticed that my face isn't oily anymore especially that on my T-zone area. Now, I am ready and excited to say goodbye to my blotting papers. Yehey! 
4. The tomato soap did indeed have a gentle exfoliating effect on my face. Last night, I noticed that my face was peeling mildly specifically near the chin area. It wasn't painful or anything of that sort, so no worries! 
5. My gosh, the tightening effect that it claims to have is sooo true! After washing, I noticed that my face feels really really tight, it's as if I'm having a face lift done. Pores became smaller too.
6. I can't say much about the rosy glow effect on my cheeks yet since I wear blush-on often. I might try going out with no blusher on so I can see if they're true with what they're claiming. Again, I'll update you.
7. Lastly, this is the effect that I'm loving the most: No more acne or pimple breakout or even a single tiny bump for me for 4 days now. Aint that great? =)

 Downside: You think I'm all praises for it huh? Of course, there's a downside too but I only can think of two. Oh boy, I hate to say this but it definitely stung my face every time I wash especially if you leave the lather for a full 3-5 minutes. It might be the AHA (alphahydroxy acid), one of the chemicals seen in tomatoes that dries and kills a pimple fast. Another thing is that, it can make the face overly dry so have your moisturizers at bay. No problem, I can do away with these downsides, all for the name and sake of BEAUTY. =) yey!

Overall, I can say that I'm loving this product and it'll sure stay in my beauty regimen for quite a while. I am leaving the country soon so I might find myself hording for this soap so I can take some of it with me. This is truly a wonderful soap and I can't wait to share some of it to my dear sister and beloved. I'm sure it'll do wonders to their skin too just like what it did in mine....in just 4 short days. 

Here are the photos of the soap that I took: I'm sorry they aren't well-taken. I failed to apply my photography skills on them since I was in a hurry to post away.

Thank you for reading my post everyone. Keep following me. =) Till next entry.
