Can A Facial Bar Performs A Miracle?
  • There's a hype about a product called Eumora. Essentially, it just a facial bar with heilmoor clay ingredient in it. I never hear about that clay until recently. The girls using it rant in many forums and blogs about how good this facial bar is. Although it's an expensive facial bar (about $100 for full size bar, but you could buy smaller size), they said that it can replace their daily routine skincare and end many skin's problems (acne, wrinkles, etc). So in their opinions, it's not expensive at all.

    For me, it's just to good to be true. I mean, c'mon. A facial bar? And what make me curious is how simple this products works. Just lather it in your face for three minutes a day, and then after around one month, you'll get a fresh radiant skin. But there's a downside of this. There will be healing crisis This is the period that the bar is trying to heal out skin. Some will experience peeling, outbreak, dryness, etc. Most will be mild which last from weeks to even month. I frown at this. It doesn't sound right to me. But maybe this is normal?

    I'm sorry that it such a long question. But I'm curious about this and I hate to see my friends spend their money for something that maybe just another marketing's hype.

    By the way, this is their website

    There's a list of Eumora's benefits there. Sorry, I couldn't copy it.

    a friend gave me the ingredient list based on what is written in the box

    Disodium lauryl Sulfosuccinate & Sodium Coco-Sulfate & Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Stratch & 1-Octadeconol & Paraffin & C17789, Talcum, Heilmoor Clay, Water & Glycerin & Algae Extract & Polygucuric Acid, Olea Europaea Fruit Extraxt.

    thanks so much for the reply.
  • I think the Right Brain would love to Blog this one. Look out for it.
  • The fact that people somewhere not only have teh nerve to charge $100 for a bar of soap but find buyers makes me think that the only thing that stands between me and a million dollars is a sense of ethics of which I'm becoming increasingly suspicious.
  • For $100, it needs to do more than get rid of wrinkes and acne. It has to fold my laundry and tell me my hair looks nice too.
  • *bursts out laughing*
  • I see no reason we can't a little money here too. We need to start a company that sells skin care products. It needs a name that sounds science-y and expensive but also sounds sort of organic; something like "Natura-Derma-Luxe." Then we need to develop products with all sorts of really great ingredients like bee poop, deep sea algae, some sort of really expensive water (maybe from the bottom of Lake Eerie, I don't think that's been done before), marine enzymes, precious metals and plant-based derivatives that are derived by some ridiculously expensive process that doesn't harm the plant or it's ecosystem . Some could be negatively charged, some could be positively charged and some could be both! (That one would come in one of those dual containers that's sort of swirly.) We need a couple of patented ingredients and processes. We need a really cool sounding technology like "Green Defense technology" and a bunch of impressive but meaningless claims. We can't use "Green Defense Technology" since it's already taken but we can probably think of something better.

     
    Then we come up with a great marketing campaign and a website to sell our "stuff" but here's the trick, the containers are all empty. The customer gets a pretty box and container, and all the usual propaganda but no actual product. The customer buys the packaging and then puts the drugstore products that they actually use in our packaging! It would be some sort of subscription service so they could send the old containers back and we would send them new containers that reflect our updated product lists and technology!
  • Purple, you're an evil genius.

    I do think we may want to avoid the water from Lake Erie, though -- although, we can definitely market it as "rich in semi-precious metals," if you count aluminum cans.
  • Omg Purple, you're on to something!

    Don't forget, we have to claim it's "all natural" and uses only the latest scientific inventions.
  • This is what happens when I read the Bliss catalog.
  • If people are willing to put urine and snail slime on their faces, we should start selling monkey poop masks. They're all natural and made with fruit extracts, right?
  • LOL, you're all so funny!

    Don't forget birds poos: I've read birds poo facial is big in certain part of the world!

  • I think the grand prize, gold medal award winner for Weird Crap People Will Put On Themselves was a hair treatment of some sort that used bull semen. I just don't even want to know how it occurred to anyone to try THAT.
  • ...as long as you don't have to get it out of the bull first!!
  • I was having an awful day so far (points to the hubby for causing it with his angry text and attitude), and this has made it all better..
    thanks PR!
  • the popularity of this product start to annoy me.
    the salesperson of this product spread the view that the effect of using Eumora (peeling, acne outbreak, etc) is a normal thing to go through. Some people would have it for days even weeks. They said it is normal since for year there are toxic (for cosmetics) kept under our skin. It's the way of detoxing our face.

    after using Eumora, you don't need any moisturizer, sunblock, anti aging skincare, etc. you only need this small bar.

    It's really funny since Eumora itself is full of chemistry.

    but many girls believe in this claim. They will do anything to get a fresh, flawless skin.
  • Claiming a product eliminates the need for sunscreen crosses the line. That's not stretching the truth, that's just flat out making stuff up. Everyone should use sunscreen all the time.
  • I'm so sick of toxic this, toxic that, detoxify your ____________. People have gotten brain damage from "water detox diets" and all they did was drink 6 pints of water a day! Tell me that "natural" cure isn't dangerous!
