Review: it is the best I have ever used - For me, it is the best I have ever used! This product is worth a try. I've been monitoring reviews for this product for a few months on different sites. I was skeptical of buying because most times such positive reviews are trumped up. I have had sensitive skin since i was a teenager, prone to dryness and acne and in-grown hairs if not especially taken care of. As a woman of colour, I also have skin that is prone to hyper-pigmentation when I do not take care to avoid dryness, acne and in-grown hairs. I have tried loads of products and regimes on and for my skin over the years (moisturisers, treatments, medications and shower products). Some cost a fortune, some pennies; my goal was to find something that finally brings my skin to the health I've always dreamed of since teenage and then adult hormones decimated my skin. Whatever product(s) and regime I choose also needed to be financially and practically convenient and sustainable. I have now settled on the use of raw shea butter for moisturising my skin with a top layer of SP50 sun screen (face and body). This combination is by far the best I have ever used for this purpose. Next came the shower regime. The most recent product I have been using is Dermalogica for the shower, After the required 3 months, I realised that this product did not fit any of my criteria and I decided to try this African Black Soap with unrefined Shea Butter (since Shea Butter was already doing wonders for me as a moisturiser). I have never written a review on any product before, but I must for this. It is exactly as my review and all the reviews before me rave about. I suggest to anyone with sensitive skin to at least try this. It may not work for you as everyone's skin and regime is subjective, but this is worth a try! My skin is cleaned but not dehydrated. The texture of my skin is somehow being repaired FINALLY. For women of colour considering this product and Shea Butter as a moisturiser: TRY IT! And for all other complexions: TRY IT!
Review: BRILLIANT BLACK SOAP! - I had purchased black soap in Egypt on holiday and found it was really good to use for myself, plus my daughter who suffers from eczema used it and we were amazed how quickly her eczema was clearing up after a few days of use.. After reading reviews I decided to purchase this product as it had a lot of natural ingredients. The product arrived quickly and it was securely packaged. The product itself was just as good as the black soap purchased on holiday. It had a really nice smell and you only need to use a little as it goes a long way and really lathers up, it leaves your skin feeling silky and smooth. Will definitely be purchasing again once my soap is running low.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gives a very literal squeaky clean!
*by D***H on 29 August 2014*

Great soap - makes face/body (very literally) squeaky clean! has made me skin feel soft and has reduced my pores significantly. Make sure you moisturize well after using this soap as it will dry your skin out. Because of the tea tree in this soap I have no need to apply tea tree on my face as a separate part of my regime. Only reason why I give it 4stars is because I had to wait over 2weeks for it to be delivered and the company were unresponsive to my emails. Otherwise, fantastic product from a good company.
