Helps my son’s acne and keeps skin calm
I bought this SheaMoisture African Black Soap for Troubled Skin for my son’s acne and it really helps. He’s been using it as his daily face and body cleanser, and we’ve noticed fewer breakouts and less irritation. His skin feels cleaner but not stripped or dry, thanks to the shea butter. The bar lathers nicely, lasts a long time, and has a mild, natural scent. It’s gentle enough for everyday use and has become a staple in his routine. Great natural option for troubled skin. Highly recommend!

What a godsend for my eczema!
Great product. Nice smell - velvety feel & great lathering! I use it on my hair & itchy scalp too & it definitely gets rid of the dirt & grease. So happy to have finally found a product that helps with my painful flares. I finish off with a protective layer of shea butter to hold in the healing moisture.

Seems to be a good feeling..
Not exactly sure if I’m experiencing the benefits of, but it does seem to soothe my skin from mild irritation and it smells extremely lovely..

Amazing for Sensitive and Troubled Skin!
I’ve been using the SheaMoisture African Black Soap for a few weeks now, and I am seriously impressed. My skin is prone to breakouts and irritation, but this soap has been a game-changer. It leaves my skin feeling clean without over-drying, which is a problem I’ve had with other cleansers. The shea butter keeps my skin moisturized, and the natural ingredients give me peace of mind knowing I’m not using harsh chemicals. The bar is a generous size (8 oz), so it lasts a long time, even with daily use. The scent is mild and earthy, which I really enjoy—it’s not overwhelming like some other soaps. Plus, it’s effective not just for my face but for my whole body, especially on areas where I’ve had trouble with acne or dryness. If you have troubled or sensitive skin, this soap is worth trying. It’s affordable, lasts long, and actually works. Highly recommend!

Good product
I'm switching to a natural approach to my skincare, and I've heard good things about African black soap, so I thought I'd give this a go. You get a lot for your money with this product, and so far it seems to be doing my skin some good! The only thing I noticed was that the fragrance was super strong when I first opened it, but after running it under water / using it a few times, the smell has lessened.

And it seemed to have been making my acne worse! On a whim
Word of warning, this is not real African black soap. So if you're looking for the real deal, move on elsewhere. I've gone to the dermatologist regularly for "typical" acne that was always kept under control by prescription products. In my early 20s, I developed cystic acne around my jawline due to my hormones going out of whack. I was prescribed some pills and sulfuric-based facial wash. That face wash made me gag and tear up, literally, every time I used it. And it seemed to have been making my acne worse! On a whim, I bought this product. I've seen people rave about it online so I decided to try it. The first time I used it, my face felt very soft and clean. I used it twice a day, along with witch hazel, and I would say that within 4-5 months, the cystic acne went away. I still get the occasional pimple and I wouldn't say that my skin is now super clear. But I don't get any big pimples anymore, just a small one here and there. I can't say that this soap helps much with dark spots though, unfortunately. But aside from that, I think this soap is wonderful! Based on other reviews, it's clear that it's not for everyone though. So use at your own risk. I do have a couple of tips. Sometimes when I wear heavy makeup, I feel like this soap doesn't do as good of a job of cleaning my face if I use solely my hands to clean. That's when a facial cleansing brush comes into play. I use a big knife to cut the soap up into 6 pieces. I find the small pieces easier to use and more hygienic. I wrap up the pieces I'm not using yet with parchment or wax paper and place it inside a Ziploc bag. I place the soap on top of a soap saver to keep it dry and not slimy-feeling. It can leave a black residue but just wipe it away with water and it goes away. Overall, I am a fan of this product. After about 1.5 years of use of simple soap and witch hazel, my skin is looking really pretty darn good! So great job, Shea Moisture! I am still a big proponent of going to a dermatologist and letting them handle whatever skin issues ails you though... Haha.

Great soap
My wife told me about this soap, saying that it really feels good as a full body soap. I decided to try it, for dry itchy skin.. it has really helped. I use it exclusively, every night and my skin and face feel and look great.

Not what you'll receive!
Twice I've ordered this and twice I've received a different Shea Moisture item. While this soap works well, it's for calming and moisture, it's not what I wanted. If they don't have what you order, no replacement should be sent without your approval. Seriously, who is going to bother returning a $6.00 bar of soap? Is that what they are counting on??

El único producto que utilizo en la ducha desde hace 5 años
Sale care pero utilizo una pastilla al año. Es un todo en uno para la ducha, cuerpo y pelo sin problemas. Aunque el cabello solo lo limpio con jabón una vez a la semana o así. Huele cremoso, a todo el mundo que coge la pastilla y la huele le enamora.

Luxurious.
This is a lovely soap. Very moisturising. Here's the thing, all my life I have used a facial cleanser, spent a small fortune on them, well, this felt so good on my skin I thought I'd try washing my face with it! I was suprised at how soft it made my face feel and clean!! That's it now, I'll forever be using this product and saving heaps. Just bought 2 more bars as they were on special. An awesome find!! Very Happy and less clutter in the shower!!!

10/10!
Omg!! I know a few people said “this isn’t the REAL African black soap” but I thought I know this brand and as a newbie to this, I felt safe ordering it and I’m sooooo sooo glad I did - ever since I’ve been on my contraceptive pill (about 4 years now) my skin went mental and i now suffer from adult hormonal acne - I’ve tried millions of regimes, diets and products and spend hundreds but Sadly have never gotten amazing results - I decided to go back to my roots and had see many girls of my ethnicity raving about this soap and how it “cured” acne and so I decided to test this in my cleansing routine and within a week of using this my skin for the first time in years looks amazing and smooth - the dark spots and bumps are fading and my skin overall looks healthy and I’ve gotten many compliments on how it looks glowy now too! Some tips / facts for anyone who wants to buy this: 1. It smells amazing 2. Cut it up into dices as it’s a fat bar and you don’t need to use it all and it will last forever 3. As it’s quite strong - I use it once every night followed by a small amount of tea tree face wash 4. This bar will last a long time Overall this is 10/10 and I hope it carry’s on working for me! Fingers crossed
