William Lever started making soap in 1884 with his Sunlight Soap. The first Lux soap was introduced in 1925. It was produced by Lever Brothers and started as bargain brand toilet soap. Some of the world’s sexiest women have been Lux spokeswomen, including Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Demi Moore and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The mission statement of Lever Brothers -- now Unilever -- is health through hygiene.
Lux soap comes in a variety of forms, flakes, bars and liquids. Originally, Lux made Laundry Flakes -- a thin sheet of soap film was cut into small flakes. They called these Sunlight Flakes, but changed the name in the 1900s to Lux, which means light. Lux flakes were made to wash clothes, but were so gentle women soon began using them as dish soap, hair soap and other soap uses. Lever Brothers developed a bar soap form of the Lux Flakes called “Lux Toilet Form.” This became well-known hand soap because of its gentleness.
Lux soap products are gentle and do not irritate normal skin. According to the Unilever Corp., it applies high standards checked by in-house safety specialists before bringing a product to market. Unilever has an established Safety and Environmental Assurance Center that ensures safety of the environment, people and production. Lux soap is formulated for use with children under age 3, the elderly and other vulnerable members of the population. All soap formulations are designed and tested for human and environmental use, according to Unilever Corp.
Lux, when it was introduced in the United States in 1925, gave people an affordable option to expensive French milled soaps. Lux is also sold in China at an affordable price for consumers, according to China Radio International.

I have a bar of Lux soap that feels mildly gritty on the outside.It is a wonderful shower soap and looks slightly lavender when wet.

I dont know how you're going to use lux to clear up your pimples, but its just a soap to wash your body and face.I would recommend for you to try Clear pimple cream instead of lux,but lux is good to wash of excess dirt from your face☺hope this helps.

Why the lux soap cracked up like a melon within a weak time of it usage?

I could only hazard a guess and say that the product was old? Or maybe because of all the chemicals they use to make it. I had always found soap always cracks when it is used with cold water only.

It probably won't @ I sometimes used to use lux soap bars before I found out I had dermatitis and I didn't have any problems with them though if you are concerned perhaps it's better to take the lux bar and show the doctor to see what they think

It cleans though if you want to brighten your skin I would suggest some moisturiser cream or some vitamin e cream as vitamin e and d come from the sun
