I WILL definitely buy this soap again, before I run out. I use this on my face, and it has definitely helped my oily-acne prone complexion. It is a little drying, but I follow with a Witch Hazel...

I do not have acne and my skin is a bit dry. I use this for my large pores on my cheek, nose and chin. I wet my hands and lather it up in my hands. I spread it on my face and leave it for a few...

This soap is amazing. The first couple of times I used it, it was a bit drying but it doesn't have that effect anymore. I love how it controls the oil and makes my skin feel rather soft. My...

I use this to control acne and oily. I am an intensely oily person (Thanks, genes!) and this helps to make my face as matte as possible. But this is strangely not over-drying. And my acne is...

This soap dries the skin. Very unusual, black, with a very pleasant smell. I'll try again this summer soap. But in winter I need something a little more cream and moisturizer. A very attractive...

Mario Badescu, I must bid you goodbye. Yes, you did some good for my skin, but you are a pricey little bastard after awhile. I have someone new in my life; someone smarter, cheaper, and darker. ...

Pretty good, with great lather quality - even tried on hair and there was enough foam! Though the bar is very hard and oats would have been better if smaller bits, yet leaves skin soft! Got it...
