Can anyone use this soap? I kind of have sensitive skin so I don't want it to make me break out even more :/ Also, what are the top brands for this soap? I heard Nubian Heritage was a good one?

I use Shea Terra Organics Rose Hips Black soap as a 10 minute microdermabrasion mask! It's a miracle!

I use African black soap n she butter unrefined one for a while now but found the she butter was too rich for my face I have combo skin while I stopped using it on my Face but fell in love with the soap ! I used it coming up to 2 years now! I don't like using anything else but this, as I feel it brightened my Face also as controlling my break outs! I do still break out time of the months n so on but how I also clear my skin is steam sauna is incredible ! As I m a sporty person I always go for 45 min to the sauna ! I see incredible improvement ! Steam sauna and African black soap my HG!

I adore black soap....just ordered a huge brick from Amazon. It lasts so long! Great for washing your face..I also use it to wash under my arms, it helps my natural deodorant do the job!

I've used African black soap for many years. It's a favorite of mine. I prefer the Dudu Osun African black soap bar.

I've used this before, I remember buying a pound of it from some African's stall at a market, just like one of the above poster's mentioned--there was no brand name, it was just wrapped up. All I remember about African Black Soap was that I actually NOTICED the change (softer, brighter and clearer skin) and I remember the smell was sooo nice!! ..the only thing I don't remember is where exactly I picked it up..lol

It does help with acne scars. It fades them dramatically.
I've been using this for a few weeks and it hasn't completely faded them but they are lighter. My skin is olive and acne would leave purple marks which is have to cover everyday. I swear now I only use bobbi brown concealer under my eyes (black soap doesn't work for under eye circles. Wish it did) and I use MAC studio fix powder and that's it.

I have used it off and on, and I can definitely tell a difference in my skin its more smoother and hydrated. I recommend it! :)

I know I'm kind of late in this post, but does African Black Soap help with acne scars? I have a lot on my face and nothing seems to help.

i have been using black soap for about 3 weeks now and i, and everyone around me, have noticed a huge change in my extremely sensitive, acne prone skin. i got mine at an african market that i found in NYC, its no name as is most of the products they sell because it is all made in ghana and flown in to sell at markets. it was $2 for a lb of solid soap which is a hell of a deal compared to coastal scents lb of soap for $13.
it hasnt completly cleared up my face but it definitly has cleared about 80% of acne. i love this soap so much that i have thrown out all other products (proactiv, neutrogena, olay, noxema, clinique, etc). i have also noticed that my old acne marks have lightened and i use less makeup than i used to in order to cover acne marks.
black soap is the only soap i use now twice a day in combination with clinique dramatically different gel. my skin hasnt looked this good since i was in hs and i def recommend this soap to anyone who is dealing with acne and is frustrated with spending so much money on products that never work.
i cant say enough about this soap, i just love love love it. i am 28 and have never had acne until my 20s and i was so stressed out trying to find a regimen that worked for me. i have spent so much money on products and im amazed at how a $2 soap has been the only thing to work for me. granted your skin dries out the first week but that is the worst of it.
i cant wait to see what my skin looks like in another 3 weeks

Haven't tried it but I keep hearing amazing things about it. Think I'll grab some when I run out of my "Purity" by Philosophy. Probably less expensive, I'm sure.

I've been battling acne problems for about 6 years and I am so glad I discovered African Black Soap a couple years ago! It works wonders for my sensitive/combination skin. My acne isn't completely gone; I still break out every now and then, but this soap has reduced my breakouts tremendously! It leaves my face really clean and taut. Another thing I love is that it brightens my complexion, giving me a youthful glow! I highly recommend it to those with eczema and acne-prone skin, like me!

I have tried it. I also LOVE it. My skin seems so much softer. I have not been using it for long. I hope that over time I will see an improvement in my complexion :-)
