Osmia Organics Black Clay Facial Soap by Osmia Organics

My skin starting to improve after using it for a few weeks, great if you used too many active ingredients

Expensive but not so much when you consider how long this little bar is soap lasts - about 6 months for me using it once a day. I have been free of POD for about 1 year now but continue using this as a preventative. There is also something else I use which I read about elsewhere and that is to use fluoride free toothpaste. As this distressing condition starts around the mouth I thought it worth a shot and these 2 items used together work for me. Fluoride is after all a toxin.

I have been using this cleanser for years and nothing beats it.

Ich benutzte die Seife seit etwa 2,5 Monaten. Damit habe ich ein Ausbruch von perioralem Dermatitis erfolgreich abwehren können. Ich nutze die Seife für die tägliche Gesichtsreinigung, und mein Gesicht fühlt sich sauber und gepflegt an. Nie wieder lasse ich was anders an mein Gesicht dran!

Before I start reviewing the product, I want to say that I have struggled with this for over 10 years now on and off. And yes, I have tried everything. Doxycycline, Clindamycin, Erithromycin, elimination diets, removing fluoride from my diet, avoiding SLS, Etc. EVERYTHING. And for some reason, no matter what, my PD always came back with vengeance. The first picture is before washing with the black clay soap. The second is the morning after....HUGE difference. I am in the process of receiving results from a food sensitivity test from Everywell.com. This will help me determine what foods may be triggering my PD as well....however... The only bad thing I have to say about the soap is that it can be a little drying, so don't skip the moisturizer. I started using the Osmia Toner and Moisturizer as well as the black clay soap and it has significantly changed my skin. Every day I notice it is a little better. A little less red, a little less bumpy every day. I have also been using some Collodial silver and blotting the area with a cotton ball prior to using the gel toner. This brand changed my life and is slowly but surely curing my perioral dermatitis. I wish I had found it 10 years ago. If you are even considering trying this brand, go to osmia's website and order a sample of the black clay soap, gel toner, and moisturizer. Each are only $5 and have lasted me over a week. Yes you pay shipping. Yes this brand is expensive. But it is worth it especially if you regain your confidence!!! SO SO SO happy with this product. I pray the results will last.

I liked the clean feeling I had after washing my face with this soap. It was very expensive so i cut in half and only use one half at a time and then it lasted a longer time.

I bought this soap for myself and my 10 year old daughter who were suffering from a very painful case of perioral dermatitis. We had been fighting it for about 6 months and had gotten to the point where I couldn't stand the way It looked or felt, it covered my chin, up around the sides and above my mouth, into my nose, and had started under my eyes. Very painful. I read about this soap on a blog after tons of research. It was pricey but I was beyond desperate. So after 4 weeks I can officially say this soap has saved my face. The first probably two weeks my face was so raw and tender I barely did more than wipe it over my face. Now I can actually rub it in and really wash. The smell isn't very strong or offensive. However it did cause my face to seriously burn the first two weeks and I almost quit using it. It does still have a slight burn so I just use it at the very end of my shower and as soon as I get out I put a light layer of raw honey with a q-tip over all the affected areas. This immediately relieves the burn and it gently moisturizes as I feel this soap dries the area out a good bit. I leave the honey on as long as I can and strongly recommend this for relief from the itch and burn of perioral dermatitis. I also stopped using anything that contained floride and sodium lural sulfates. I used nothing and I mean nothing on my faces besides this soap and raw honey. Like I said it's still not 100% but if you can be patient this soap def works and is worth the money I think.
