As it says in the title - it really has made my face so sore and inflamed my spots even more. I was hoping it would work as I have previously tried another brand of African black soap which had a few additives, whereas this one was raw. I had no negative effects before but this one is just too harsh. How can I reduce inflammation naturally? Help! Many thanks in advance.

Aloe Vera or grind up some oatmeal and apply on your face with honey or wet as a mask.

Olive oil or turmeric (mixed with yogurt) are both natural antiinflammatories :)
