I keep seeing this soap recommended in beauty articles and it's like 3 bucks for a bar, so I got some for my husband who gets terrible backne.
I've never seen his skin this clear, but I'm curious is this a fluke? Why does it seem to work so well?
Here are some articles that mention it:

The natural = good/chemicals = bad notion bothers me too. It'll eventually cause damage to the point where someone has to see a doctor/dermatologist. It also ticks me off that people are doing chemical peels like TCA at home! Even TCA CROSS! They don't understand that it takes years and practice to effectively do those peels and minimize complications, not to mention there is a very important "prep" time involved!
Grrrrr....
AKA, Bell's inaccurately concluded that duct tape works. She should've looked a little closer at the data.
If you look on Amazon and eBay, you'll find vendors selling TCA anywhere from 5% to 100%! They're doing the same with glycolic and lactic acid. It's extremely dangerous, because you have no idea if it's counterfeit, diluted, or expired. Some of them come with directions which are likely not accurate. Yet buyers do this to save a few hundred dollars.
Perhaps even worse, if you look on some of the forums, contributors are advocating DIY peels with TCA! They're getting even basic stuff wrong, like "frosting is bad" (no, it isn't; at least, in experienced hands), confusing frosting with precipitate, and recommending strong peels for darker skin types! This is super basic stuff! I do hope to get a chemical peel one day, but I'd never do it at home!
I did check out that blog just now, and whoa! I knew home birth was a problem but not that bad, to say the least!
Shipping prices from Canada are high, too. Maybe our countries could reach an agreement on shipping?
