Today I was discussing this very issue of using colloidal silver and the possibility of it being absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin. I will also hunt around for some independent clinical research on the <strong>topical use</strong> of colloidal silver/ nano silver in skincare products. Another soap that also uses nano silver is the COR soap bar. I am imagining that these silver molecules are too large to be absorbed through our skin, but there is a lot of controversy surrounding how much is absorbed through our skin into our bloodstream. I also am curious how much colloidal silver was ingested by Stan Jones to create that reaction. Yes, we should definitely be cautious and wise when making choices about what we ingest and use on our skin. Sounds like we have some myth-busting to do here. Thanks! Hi Tamara!

I've battled acne for 25 years and have tried everything, but I draw the line at turning into a blueberry. At its extreme, that's what Argyria does-- it turns your skin anywhere from grey all the way to Smurf blue. The pictures of people with this condition are frightening. Granted, these are people who have taken it internally, but who wants to chance looking like that? Run a search for Argyria and Stan Jones. There's no treatment for Argyria, and once you're blue, you're blue for life. You tell ME if that's worth getting rid of the zits. I can't find any independent clinical trials on Nano Cyclic-- just company testimonials. I can't just take the company's word that it's safe-- not on this. What makes it safe? Are the molecules too large to be absorbed? Does the collagen content have something to do with it? I can't find any independent answers. If the company has over/undershot whatever it is that they say makes this product safe by even the smallest amount, there could be **extraordinary consequences** to long term use-- and it WILL be long term use. Where in the world is the FDA? Maybe this soap is safe, but I don't want to spend the rest of my days as a special guest star on The New Buck Rogers just to find out. I would urge anyone considering this product to use extreme caution, educate yourself, and don't let desperation drive you to try something that could leave you disfigured-- or worse.

I'm still trying to get my mind around an $80 bar of soap, but I secretly want to try it, too! Nice reveiw, Mo.
