It sounds very good. Is it okay for people with very sensitive skin? Anyone ever experience problems with pearl powder? I want to try it but just want to make sure I don't end up blotchy for days.  |

Yes, but I thought its not just pregnant women

Does this really work? Does it come in capsule form or something easier to swallow? Or can people mix it into a drink. It would be strange to just eat the powder. |

I've been using Silken Pearl primer and paste for the last few weeks and its helped with my oiliness like nothing else!
I tended to have SUPER oily skin, after a couple of hours I was a grease slick, and in pictures I was always 'glowing' in a bad way!
I think I may have had some slight purging when I started using the pearl products (in addition to trying a MMU that didn't work and stress) but it's helped with the redness as well. The odd smell still turns me off a bit, but the results are well worth it! |

Im not completely sure, but I *think* you can buy it in a pill, but there's powder form that you mix in with water.
As for whether it works, I've never tried it as I'm already taking a few things orally, but I do keep hearing that people take it for theraputic uses on tv |

| I've used "pearl powder" on face and it was good, skin tone looks brighter and more white. I've not taken it orally, heard that it do have a calming effect, acommendate hormone...but have to be very careful with their quality and product of origin. |

| Has anyone had success with using the pearl powder to remove freckles? I'm tempted to try the recipe above. Where does one buy pearl powder for external use vs for internal use? Thank you. |

I'm not sure where to get the powder you can ingest but the one to put on the face I got before fromwww.tkbtrading.com. You need to grind this up to make a finer powder before putting this on the skin. |
