I used this years ago before my skin became more sensitive after Accutane. It worked fine, I even used it on my face occasionally (even though you shouldn't use soap on your face). Now it gives me...

So I read a lot of reviews here of people who had a lot of issues with the product. I will say this isn't your every day product, moreso like once or twice a week. I would use this if I am doing a...

If you have acne, just try this soap. If it doesn't do anything for your breakouts, you can use it up on your body. I've been using it for almost two years and in conjunction with an alcohol-free...

I'm not sure if this is the exact brand I want to review but this sounded similar enough. My mother bought African black soap in a deal on Groupon when it was very popular. She's not a huge fan of...

EDIT: After two years of using this soap, I stopped. I read about how black soap has a pH level that’s incompatible with your skin and disrupts your skin’s acid mantle. This damages your skin in...

So I know this isn't raw/real african black soap (because that stuff isn't black and usually comes in a block) but that doesn't mean this product doesn't work for me. I've been using black soap...

Not a fan. First, I guess I didn't realize that it was BLACK - the lather, the residue, everything. I hated that I had black traces in my tub and soap dish. Second, I couldn't stand the way it...
