Just wanted to update how the soap is
going.
I’ve been testing the Gamila Soap
(Original) on my right cheek since 20 June 2013 and today is Day 7. I wash with
this soap morning and night after removing my makeup and try not to use a
moisturizer, as I’ve read other reviewers comment that mixing it with other
products made them break out.
This was what my skin looked like on Day 1:

| Horrible skin after returning from UK holiday :( |
After 7 days, this is my skin now:
Wow, taking a look at these photos, my skin actually seems more red after using the soap for a week! Also you can see it has brought out some pimples on my skin. I admit I am tempted to ditch this 28 day challenge, I'm afraid more zits will surface!
I find that the soap does make my skin softer, however even though it is supposed to be moisturizing, I actually find it drying and my skin feels tight after wash. I think I'll have to break the 'no moisturizer' rule from now on, perhaps use my Aesop oil free serum to hydrate the skin a little.
In the meantime, I need to use more concealer!

Hey Gal!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such an honest review! I have the same type of skin as yours and I like to look around for face products and saw Gamila on Qoo10. Most of them gave good reviews but I know that my skin is probably more sensitive than everyone else.
I have been using Body Shop Tea Tree Oil every night for almost a year and a half, the skin will not be crystal clear (it's all lies! no one has crystal clear skin unless they do some magic hahaha) but I would say it fades out and nips my zits. I apply this every night. And retails $18.90 for a small vial but its a keeper. Reccomend you to try this. Don't buy the entire Tea-Tree Line because it can be overly drying. just get the oil, apply it nightly, dont go out in the sun with it because skin gets more sensitive with tea tree.

Hi Aud,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! :)
Yes I decided to try out this soap, despite the ridiculous price tag, due to all the rave reviews. I did not come across any bad reviews on the soap and hence was hoping this would be the answer to my problem skin. If you read my follow-up posts, you'll see that sadly this wasn't the case for me :( in fact it ended up giving me quite a few clogges pores (maybe it leaves a film on my skin). Also my skin didn't get any more moisturized after longer usage. In fact I don't think my skin could have taken the product as long without my Aesop hydrating serum.
I tried tea tree oil but it burns my skin and leaves red marks even though it kills zits really quickly. Thanks for the suggestion and I'm glad it works for you! Maybe it will help other readers.
