This black soap was ok. I got the same good results as I do with imported African black soap. It tightens my skin, and gets it clean, but it also is gentle. The only con is that it does stain your...

I really love the body wash in this line, which prompted me to buy this bar for my face. However, this made me breakout. I know I am supposed to wait through the initial "purgining" phase, which I...

I do not have this brand, but I absolutely love raw black soap which is similar! I have acne prone skin and this is one of the few cleansers I have stuck with! I will continue to use it!
