Q: Does Shea moisture organic black soap reduce pores size and slough off dead skin cells

submitted by Reginald - 10 years ago
  • A: I do not know but asssume so as does most other soaps..... I use it in my hair, face, body & it does not dry out my skin !!! No dandruff

    submitted byR2D3 D2 is dead - 10 years ago
  • A: Yes it does reduce pore size and it helps remove some dead skin.

    submitted byDancingqueen2316 - 6 years ago
  • A: I'm not sure b/c I just use the bar soap on my hands. Most soaps and hand washes itch or break my skin out. When I have an eczema outbreak, it's generally on my hands. The soap works very well on my hands; it calms my skin down and so far, it clears it right away. I have some of their body wash that I haven't tried yet. I don't see anything on the soap package or body wash regarding pores. The bar soap wrapper states "for acne prone skin and body bar". The body wash mentions helping psoriasis, and eczema. Neither mention pores, but heck, it can't hurt to try it and let us know.

    Great daily beauty bar soap for Face and Body Acne

    Who knew that getting acne in your forties was a thing? NOT Me! I purchased a bar of Shea Moisture African Black Soap Acne Prone Face and Body Bar while at the DG one day while shopping for those last minute bath and body supplies I needed for the house. BC now I am apparently dealing with the hormones of a teenage boy again, I grabbed it thinking “Hey, I’ll give it a shot”. Let me tell you, after about one week of using this beauty bar for my face I was impressed. my husband started using it as well (can we say back acne) and he was impressed too. We will definitely keep this on hand !

    Black Beauty Bar-3B’s

    Excellent ingredients if you want a fresh facial or body cleansing. Smell is lite and it dries fast. It’s available in a lot of hair supply stores.

    Great soap for face and body!

    I don’t have an image of this because I have used it in the past and haven’t replenished but I loved this soap. I could use it for my face and body, it was mild enough for my skin and didn’t dry my skin out. I’ll be purchasing again.

    Please get this, it is the best face soap I’ve eve

    If I could give this review 6 stars I would… I have been using this soap bar for face wash since 2015 and it has never failed. I used to have really bad acne in my T-Zone and this soap was the only thing that cleared it up! It always leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean and I don’t plan on switching my face wash any time soon!

    Favorite since 2016

    Shea Moisture is one of my favorite and trusted brands for African black soap. I have been using this bar soap since 2016 and it hasn't let me down. The fragrance is soft and beautiful, the soap isn't harsh on my dry sensitive skin. My skin is much clearer and more even toned and so blotchy and red. This baby gets right into your pores and sucks everything out with a nice deep clean. I use this soap at the end of the day to get all my makeup and skin care products off my face.

    Natural goodness that actually work 🧼🫧✨

    This is such a great product! I love that’s it’s made with natural ingredients and has a light, pleasant aroma. It lathers beautifully and rinses off clean without leaving any residue. The packaging is simple yet eco friendly. After using it my skin feels fresh, squeaky clean and lightly vented with a soft toasted almond like fragrance.

    Black bar

    This is my go to all over body soap to clean head to toe. It doesn't leave your skin or bath or shower black as that's a plus. It just is the best soap to smell and clean up with. I usually buy the big bar but the little one are good for sleep overs.

    I use this soap daily and love what it does to my skin. The bar is thick which makes it worth it, as well. I recommend this soap. It’s not oily, it does not make my face feel tight after use and it last for a while.
