Review: Cyleina Black Pearl

I just love, love, love this soap. :")

Really I have to warn you now. This will be a glowing, and I mean GLOWING, review for the Cyleina Black Pearl. I could probably rave to you all day about how good I feel every time I take a bath with this soap. That's how much I love it.

First of all, I discovered this soap around summertime last year, after one swimming session. As some of you may know, I don't really like using lotions or sunscreens because they feel too heavy and sticky for me. That's why it was no surprise that I was really tanned by the sun after swimming all day. I needed a quick fix for my dull, peeling skin.

An aunt of mine suggested Kojie-San Kojic Soap but I already had an experience with it two years ago and I wanted to try something new. So my cousins and I scourged the department store shelves for something inexpensive to try out and tadaaaa, we found the Cyleina Black Pearl soap!

For that, I'm really, really glad.

Cyleina Black Pearl is supposed to be a whitening soap, but I honestly love it for an entirely different reason. Every time I use this soap, I would feel a cooling sensation that's just really relaxing. I sometimes use this all over my body and wait for a couple of minutes before washing it off, just because it feels like heaven to use. It's really good.

The scent of the Cyleina Black Pearl soap is also pretty hypnotizing. I don't know what that is exactly, but it reminds me of wine and grapes. Something of that sort. It stays for a bit on your skin too, and it's absolutely lovely.

Another plus is that it doesn't melt that easily, unlike other soaps with whitening effects! I used the mini soap for over a month. Given that I don't always use it all over my body... but still! Haha. Have you seen the mini Cyleina Black Pearl? It's really small. Lol. But what's amazing is that it could last for more than a month.

As for the whitening properties, well, as always, I didn't really notice a drastic change, other than the fact that it did lessen my tan a bit. Haha. But then again, I'm not really a firm believer of whitening products. Haha. I just don't think that any product could whiten a person more than their natural color. Cyleina Black Pearl made me return to my original skin color, but just that. It didn't whiten me more than I naturally was.

I didn't have any breakouts out all when I used this too, unlike the time I used the Organic Tomato Soap from the same brand. As a matter of fact, the Cyleina Black Pearl soap even lessened my pimples and made my face clearer and brighter. And I think that's one of the best things a soap can even do for one's skin: to give it a healthy-looking glow.

Price? Around 65 pesos for the mini, and 120 for the bigger one.
Where to buy? SM Department Store, Watsons, Hortaleza
Will I recommend it? Absolutely.
Will I repurchase? Of course. Although right now I am using GT Carrot Soap for my face, Black Pearl will always be on standby! Whenever I need something to relax me, a bath with this soap can always do the job!
