I purchased the Acne-prone Face & Body Bar NOT the troubled skin /severely dry skin bar. They are similar but do not seem to be the exact same and look like they have different ingredients. I will...

I have not written a review in a while but I have to rave about this soap. I bought it on a whim at the grocery store. It was less than $5 - maybe $3.99. I was having a bit of an acne flare-up and...

I purchased this for my husband who has issues with oily skin and body acne. It was touted to me as the "natural" alternative to Saliycilic Acid (he spends hours in the sun, his current soap uses...

I've been using this stuff for years but I'm using the liquid version not the bar. I have sensitive skin and it does not break me out at all. A little drying but I have oily skin so it's perfect...

My rating is for using this as a brush cleaner only: I am hesitant to use this on my face; I bought this, as a few other reviewers, to use as a brush cleaner. Works great as a brush cleaner. I...

I was browsing Ulta looking for a solid brush cleaner, and the only one I could find was $20. I'm not one to spend that much on a small tin of brush soap, so I started looking for their bar soaps...

After hearing all the hype, I really wanted to like this. It seemed to be a miracle worker for so many people, and for the price, it seemed like a great buy. The soap has a really strong smell...

I just could not hang with this soap! Dried my skin out to a point that it was hard to rehydrate afterwards with moisturizers.

The bar is very dense and lasts a long time if kept somewhere it can dry out reach time you use it. The scent is mild and goes very well with everything. The only reason I wouldn't buy this again...

I think this is a mild version of authentic black African soap. It's nice and gentle but I prefer a slightly harsher and more effective acne treatment. However this is nice to wash off makeup and...

I really wanted to love this product! It smells wonderful but it dried and broke out my skin. I though it was due to the "purging" phase but after months of "purging" I had to let it go.
