A multi-tasking cleansing bar designed to tackle breakouts on both the face and body. Infused with a trio of gentle acids (AHA, BHA, PHA) and calming botanicals, it helps clear pores and smooth skin texture, making it an ideal choice for Mauritius's warm and humid climate where sweat and oil can lead to congestion.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with persistent breakouts or rough, bumpy skin on your face or body can be frustrating. This cleansing bar offers a simple, one-step solution to gently exfoliate and purify your skin without the harshness of traditional scrubs.
- Product Type: Exfoliating Cleansing Bar (Solid Soap)
- Key Functions: Deeply cleanses, gently exfoliates, soothes irritation, and helps control sebum.
- Best For: Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. Also effective for managing body acne (back, chest) and Keratosis Pilaris (bumpy skin on arms/legs).
- Scent: Refreshing and herbal scent from Tea Tree Oil.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanse with [THIS PRODUCT]: Lather the bar with water and massage the foam onto damp skin. Rinse thoroughly.
- Moisturise: Follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep skin balanced.
- Sunscreen (AM): Always finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin.
Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have an exfoliating cleanser, finish it before starting this one. Substitute, don’t stack, to avoid waste and potential irritation.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Keep your morning routine focused on protection.
- Cleanse: Use the Miracle Cleansing Bar to start with a fresh, clean base.
- Hydrate (Optional): Apply a lightweight, hydrating toner to add moisture.
- Protect: Finish with a broad-spectrum Sunscreen (SPF 30+). This step is non-negotiable as the acids in the bar can increase sun sensitivity.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Your evening routine is the perfect time for deep cleansing and repair.
- Double Cleanse (If wearing makeup/sunscreen): Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and SPF.
- Cleanse: Use the Miracle Cleansing Bar as your second cleanse to purify the pores.
- Treat (Optional): Apply a targeted serum for your specific concerns (e.g., hydration or soothing).
- Moisturise: End with a moisturiser to lock in hydration and support your skin barrier overnight.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
For Face & Body - AM/PM:
- Amount: Rub the wet bar between your hands to create a rich, dense lather.
- Apply to: Face, neck, chest, back, or any area with breakouts or bumpy texture. Avoid the immediate eye and mouth areas.
- Method: Gently massage the foam onto damp skin for 30-60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Frequency: Start by using it once daily in the evening. If your skin tolerates it well after a week, you can increase to twice daily (AM and PM). If any dryness occurs, reduce frequency.
If-This / Then-That:
- If your skin feels tight: You might be cleansing for too long or too frequently. Reduce to once daily and follow immediately with a hydrating toner and moisturiser.
- If you have body acne: Let the lather sit on your back or chest for a minute before rinsing to allow the active ingredients more time to work.
- If you have Keratosis Pilaris (bumpy arms): Use the bar on the affected areas daily, followed by a moisturiser containing a gentle exfoliant like lactic acid or urea for best results.
Watchouts: A "purging" period of small, temporary breakouts can occur when you first introduce exfoliating acids. This should subside within 2-4 weeks. If irritation, redness, or burning occurs, stop using the product.
Safety: For external use only. Do not use on broken, wounded, or irritated skin. Keep out of reach of children. Store the bar in a dry, well-draining soap dish to prolong its life.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
As a cleanser with acids, be mindful when using other strong actives in your routine.
Scenario 1: Using this bar as your ONLY exfoliant
- Daily: You can use the cleansing bar AM and/or PM, followed by hydrating and protective products.
Scenario 2: Using this bar WITH another strong active (e.g., Retinol, strong AHA/BHA serum)
- Rule of Thumb: Do not use other strong chemical exfoliants or retinoids in the same routine (AM or PM) as this cleansing bar, especially when you are starting out. Alternate their use to be safe.
-
Example PM Focus:
- Mon/Wed/Fri (Active Night): Use a gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser, followed by your Retinoid or strong AHA/BHA serum.
- Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun (Gentle/Exfoliating Cleanse Night): Use the Miracle Cleansing Bar, followed by a soothing/hydrating serum and moisturiser.
Photosensitivity Warning: The AHA and BHA in this bar can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is mandatory to prevent sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels deeply cleansed, smooth, and refreshed without feeling stripped or tight.
- After 2-4 weeks: A noticeable reduction in skin oiliness and the frequency of new blackheads and whiteheads. You may experience some initial purging as pores clear out; this is temporary.
- After 4-8+ weeks: With consistent use and daily sun protection, skin texture appears smoother and more refined. The frequency and severity of acne breakouts on both face and body are reduced. Post-acne marks may begin to look lighter.
Individual results may vary. Consistency and sun protection are key.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why this, not harsh scrubs: This cleansing bar with gentle chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA) is a safer choice than abrasive physical scrubs (like those with large, jagged particles of sugar, salt, or crushed pits). Harsh scrubs can create micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation, a damaged barrier, and worsening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially on breakout-prone skin.
- Why this, not regular body soap: Standard bar soaps often have a high, alkaline pH that can strip the skin's natural protective barrier (the acid mantle), leading to dryness, irritation, and even more breakouts. This bar is formulated to cleanse effectively while respecting the skin's balance.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Hydrating Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol, and Glycerin to replenish moisture after cleansing.
- Soothing Ingredients: Centella Asiatica (Cica), Heartleaf, and Aloe Vera to calm any potential irritation.
- Niacinamide: To further help with oil control, pore appearance, and brightening post-acne marks.
- Sunscreen: An essential partner to protect skin from increased sun sensitivity.
-
Use With Caution:
- Other Exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs): Using this bar alongside other acid toners, serums, or peels can lead to over-exfoliation. It's best to alternate their use (e.g., use the bar in the AM and a leave-on acid in the PM, or use them on different days).
- Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin): Combining retinoids and exfoliating acids in the same routine can increase dryness and irritation. Alternate nights for safety.
- High-Concentration Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): The low pH of Vitamin C serums combined with the exfoliating nature of the bar might be too stimulating for some. Consider using Vitamin C in the AM and the cleansing bar in the PM.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily Skin: Excellent. Helps to deeply cleanse pores and control excess sebum production.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Excellent. The combination of BHA, tea tree, and other soothing extracts is ideal for managing and preventing breakouts on both the face and body.
- Combination Skin: Very Good. Effectively cleanses the oily T-zone without severely stripping drier areas. Follow with a targeted moisturizer.
- Normal Skin: Good. Can be used a few times a week as a gentle exfoliating treatment to maintain smooth texture.
- Dry Skin: Use with caution. May be too drying for daily use. If used, follow with rich, hydrating products.
- Sensitive Skin: Patch test required. While it contains soothing ingredients, the presence of multiple acids and essential oils could be irritating for highly reactive skin.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Acne and Pimples (Face and Body)
- Clogged Pores (Blackheads and Whiteheads)
- Excess Oil and Sebum
- Dull or Rough Skin Texture
- Keratosis Pilaris ("Chicken Skin" on arms and legs)

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Actives Explained:
- AHA (from Citric Acid): Works on the surface of the skin to slough off dead skin cells, helping to improve texture and fade dark spots.
- BHA (from Salicylic Acid): Oil-soluble, this acid penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve sebum and debris, making it highly effective against blackheads and acne.
- PHA (Lactobionic Acid): A larger molecule than AHA, it provides a very gentle surface exfoliation and also acts as a humectant to prevent moisture loss.
- Tea Tree Extract (10,000 ppm): Known for its powerful soothing and antiseptic properties, it helps to calm inflammation and control sebum.
- Niacinamide (2%): A versatile ingredient that helps to minimize the appearance of pores, regulate oil production, improve skin texture, and brighten post-acne marks.
- Houttuynia Cordata Extract: A botanical extract prized in Korea for its ability to soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammation.
Full INCI List: Lauric Acid, Sodium Stearate, Saponified Palm Oil, Sodium Laurate, Sodium Myristate, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Lauramidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, Chlorella Vulgaris (Dermochlorella Algae) Powder, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Sprout Powder, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum (Edelweiss) Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Seed Oil, Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) Extract, Salix Alba (White Willow) Bark Extract, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Bark Extract, Hydrolyzed Potato Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Lactobionic Acid, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Tetrasodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Salicylic Acid, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol.
Formulated Without: The brand states no artificial colors or chemical surfactants, but this is a saponified soap bar. Dermatologically tested.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance Status: Contains essential oil (Tea Tree Leaf Oil), which gives it a natural, fresh, and medicinal scent. No artificial fragrance is added.
- Scent Intensity: 2/5 (Noticeable but not overpowering).
- EU Allergens: None explicitly listed in the main formula, but natural extracts and oils can contain trace amounts of potential allergens.
- Botanical Note: Contains a wide variety of plant extracts. If you have known allergies to specific plants, review the INCI list carefully. A patch test is always recommended.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use with caution:
- Individuals with very dry or sensitive skin, or those with compromised skin barriers (e.g., eczema, rosacea) should use this bar cautiously, starting with only 2-3 times per week.
- This product is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the presence of Salicylic Acid (BHA). Consult a doctor for guidance.
Purging & Photosensitivity Notice:
- Purging: As this product contains exfoliating acids, it may cause an initial "purging" phase where underlying congestion comes to the surface as small breakouts. This is temporary and should resolve within a few weeks of consistent use.
- Photosensitivity: AHAs and BHAs can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) is essential while using this product and for a week after discontinuing.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Lather a small amount of the soap and apply the foam to a discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the inner arm.
- Rinse off as you would normally.
- Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
- If no reaction occurs, you can proceed with using the product on your face and body. Discontinue use immediately if irritation develops.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A solid, smooth bar soap that creates a soft, rich lather when mixed with water.
- Finish on Skin: Leaves skin feeling deeply clean, smooth, and refreshed, without the tight, "squeaky" feeling often associated with bar soaps.
- Scent: A natural, herbaceous, and slightly medicinal scent from the Tea Tree extract.
- pH: As a saponified soap, the pH is likely to be high (around 9-10). While effective for cleansing, this is higher than the skin's natural acidic pH. Following up with a pH-balancing toner can be beneficial.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains several ingredients that may trigger fungal acne, including Lauric Acid, Stearic Acid, and Olive/Argan oils. If you are prone to fungal acne, a patch test is highly advised or consider an alternative cleanser.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: My skin feels dry or tight after using the bar.
- Solution: You may be cleansing for too long or too often. Reduce use to once daily (PM) and ensure you are applying a hydrating toner and moisturiser immediately after on damp skin.
-
Issue: My skin is breaking out more than usual after starting.
- Solution: This could be skin "purging," which is a temporary reaction to the exfoliating acids. It should clear up within 2-4 weeks. However, if the breakouts are itchy, red, and in unusual places, it may be irritation. Stop use and allow your skin to calm down.
-
Issue: The soap bar is dissolving very quickly.
- Solution: Store the bar on a well-draining soap dish away from direct streams of water. A solid bar needs to dry out between uses to last longer. You can even cut the bar into smaller pieces and use one at a time.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: An excellent choice for the hot and humid Mauritian summer. It effectively removes sweat, excess oil, and sunscreen, helping to prevent the clogged pores and breakouts that are common in this climate. Its refreshing feel is a welcome bonus on sticky days.
- Drier Winter: If your skin leans towards dry during the cooler, less humid winter months, you may need to reduce the frequency of use to avoid stripping the skin. Ensure you follow up with a richer moisturiser during this time.
- Indoor/AC Environments: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, which can be very drying, be diligent about applying moisturiser after using this cleansing bar to maintain your skin's hydration balance.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product) (brand vs independent data)
The claims for this product are based on the established functions of its active ingredients.
- Ingredient Rationale: The combination of AHA, BHA, and PHA is widely recognized in dermatology for its multi-level exfoliating benefits. Salicylic Acid (BHA) is particularly well-studied for its ability to penetrate pores and dissolve sebum, making it a gold-standard ingredient for acne. Tea Tree extract has a long history of use and scientific backing for its soothing and antimicrobial properties. Niacinamide's benefits for oil control and barrier support are also well-documented in independent studies.
No brand-sponsored clinical trials for this specific cleansing bar are publicly available for independent verification.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)
As a 106g solid bar, this product offers excellent value and longevity compared to liquid cleansers.
- Estimated Uses: If used once daily on the face, the bar can last for 3-5 months. If used on both face and body, it may last for 1-2 months.
- Reorder Cadence: We recommend reordering every 2-4 months, depending on your usage patterns. Storing it in a dry, draining dish is key to maximizing its lifespan.

Mindful Use Reminder: If you already have a similar exfoliating cleanser at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a true sense of its results and reduces waste.

- Packaging: The 106g solid bar comes in a recyclable cardboard box, reducing plastic waste compared to traditional liquid cleansers in plastic bottles.
- Storage: To make the bar last as long as possible, store it on a soap dish that allows for complete drainage and keeps it out of direct water streams. Letting it dry fully between uses is essential.

Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)
Aggregated sentiment from online beauty communities. Note: Individual experiences vary.
"I've had this cleansing bar for almost a year now! I feel like it's a great preventive step against acne... I use it maybe 2-3 times a week as my second step cleanse. I like it, it lasts foreverrrr, suds up very mildly, doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped."
"My skin feels clean but it doesn't feel stripped. I feel like it also deep cleanses my pores... I experienced a lot of hormonal breakouts and texture in March and whilst the soap didn't prevent it, I feel like my skin looked better every time I cleaned it. The soap left my skin looking smoother and softer but didn't have an effect on the breakouts."
"I like the scent of this bar soap. It's not strong or anything but it's earthy and fresh. It helped with my shoulder acne. I have dry, sensitive skin and it suited me. It does dry the skin if you go overboard. A little lather is enough. Will buy again."
Fair Caveat: Some users note that as a true soap (saponified oil), it has a higher pH than the skin. For those with a very compromised skin barrier or extreme sensitivity, this could potentially be drying. Following up with a hydrating, pH-balanced toner is a good practice.

The Adilsons Promise (our commitment to you)
At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you the best of authentic Korean beauty. We carefully curate our selection and source directly from official brand distributors in South Korea.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Can I use this cleansing bar every day?
- Yes, it is designed for daily use. However, because it contains chemical exfoliants, we recommend starting with once a day (in the evening) and observing how your skin responds before increasing to twice a day. If you notice any dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency.
- Is this soap suitable for my face?
- Absolutely. While many bar soaps are too harsh for facial skin due to a high pH, this one is formulated with soothing and moisturizing ingredients like Tea Tree, Centella Asiatica, and natural oils to be gentle enough for the face, especially for oily and acne-prone skin types.
- Will this bar help with "chicken skin" (Keratosis Pilaris)?
- Yes, the combination of AHA, BHA, and PHA can be very effective in smoothing the bumpy texture of Keratosis Pilaris (KP) by helping to dissolve the keratin plugs that cause the bumps. For best results, use it consistently on the affected areas and follow with a hydrating body lotion.
- Why does this soap have a high pH? Is that bad?
- This is a true soap made through saponification, which naturally results in an alkaline (high) pH. For oily and resilient skin, this is generally not a problem as the skin's natural acid mantle can quickly rebalance itself. However, for dry or sensitive skin, a high pH can feel stripping. You can easily mitigate this by using a pH-balancing toner right after cleansing.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin looking for a convenient, effective, and sustainable cleansing solution for both face and body.
Key Benefits:
- Deeply cleanses pores and removes excess oil without over-stripping.
- Gently exfoliates with a blend of three acids to smooth rough texture and prevent breakouts.
- Excellent for managing body acne and Keratosis Pilaris.
Keep in Mind:
- As a saponified soap, it has a high pH, which might not be suitable for very dry or sensitive skin without a pH-balancing toner.
- Contains ingredients that are not considered fungal-acne safe.
- Daily sunscreen use is essential due to the exfoliating acids.
