💕💕💕"The African Black Soap Facial Wash & Scrub is everything I’ve been looking for in a skincare product! It cleanses my skin thoroughly while gently exfoliating, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed. After using it consistently, my skin has looked clearer and more even-toned. It’s great for fighting breakouts without irritating my skin, and it has this natural, calming scent that I absolutely love. I also appreciate how it’s made with all-natural ingredients—my skin feels nourished and balanced after every use. This has definitely earned a permanent spot in my routine!" 😊💕💕💕💕 😎💕 "I can't get enough of the African Black Soap Facial Wash & Scrub! It’s so gentle but effective—my skin feels clean, soft, and rejuvenated after every use. It’s perfect for my combination skin, and it’s helped reduce the number of breakouts I was having. The exfoliating beads are fine enough that they don't feel harsh, but they still do a great job of sloughing off dead skin. Plus, it has a natural, earthy scent that’s both refreshing and calming. This is definitely one of my new holy grail skincare products!" 💕💕💕💕 💕"I've been using the African Black Soap Facial Wash & Scrub for a few weeks now, and I’m in love! It’s the perfect combination of cleanser and exfoliator, leaving my skin feeling super clean without any dryness. It’s been a game-changer for my acne-prone skin, helping to clear up blemishes and reduce redness. The gentle scrub is ideal for everyday use, and the natural ingredients really make a difference. My skin feels nourished, refreshed, and healthier—definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a natural, effective skincare product!" 🧼🧴😊❤💞

The texture was nice, not too much exfoliat, where it would hurt, but the right amount to get the job done. Helped me when I was on the verge of breaking out badly, also has reduced it in the past.

If you have problem skin this is definitely for you because I had a little problem skin after two to three weeks and I used this scrub and it has improved my skin and my skin color has changed to a more beautiful glowing color and the price is great.

This face wash is amazing. I’ve always had a problem being consistent with these things but, I use this face wash every night. It’s been about four weeks now and my face has cleared up a lot. The dark spots on my cheeks have faded and my face is getting clearer each day. It’s not too water or too thick but, just right. I will forever use this product.

Microbeads stuck in my pores

I started using this product a few days ago and started breaking out, i brushed it off as the product not agreeing with my skin then i took a closer look and saw the microbeads IN my pimples. I popped a pimple and a microbead came out. breakouts everywhere. Ive never had this problem with a scrub before. Really disappointed i usually love sheamoisture products. Maybe a natural exfoliant, ground walnut shells, sugar, anything really besides plastic microbeads. terrible for the enviroment and terrible for your skin.

Loved using it to wash my face. It felt grainy but wasn’t too rough and it was easy to apply and wash off my face. I used it at night, great to use after getting makeup off

I used this facial scrub for a year maybe once or twice a week when I showered only, and I loved everything about it: the smell, the gentle scrubbing, the consistency. Then, I ran out of my regular soap, so I started using this soap regularly (I was busy and didn't buy my regular face soap). After a few weeks of more regular use, my skin started to break out horribly. My entire forehead was full of even bumps. After researching, some people like me react badly to overuse of coconut oil. It caused a type of acne that is due to fungi on the skin eating the coconut oil (or other oils like this), and reproducing. Same thing could happen on your scalp - dandruff. Yikes! It took me months to get rid of the acne by using salicylic acid on my skin. Now, 10 months later, I am just now recovering and going back to my old skin. It did a number on me. My advice, don't overuse it. I'm afraid to purchase it again now.

Change is disappointing

Started using this product 6 months ago and was extremely pleased. I enjoyed the product so much that I recommended the product to my family members., After running low I purchased additional bottles. What a change in 6 months!!! As commented by another customer, the product no longer has a thick consistency but poured out in my hand like water. The smell of the black Jamaican soap, the beads, and tea tree oil are no longer present in the product. Please return to the original formula, which consisted of the natural and quality ingredients listed on the packaging but not in the container.

I keep this for when my hormones flair and my acne gets wild and uncontrollable. It really helps to clean and keep the oil at bay without over drying my skin. I can’t say I use this everyday because I feel it would cause my skin to dry out but I use it about 3-4 times a week when i see an abundance of zits or acne in general

This seems to be a nice product for those who want to use more natural facial products. I have combination skin. It worked okay for my skin, but my skin requires more clinical-strength products to stay in order. I’d recommend for someone who has very minimal skin issues.

So dope - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Noticed my skin was brighter just about a week later. Not lighter but brighter… cleaner. I have a huge beard that covers half of my face so the rest of my face can’t afford to look bad. Never had much acne but my old regimen left my face dry and just didn’t feel clean enough. This did the trick. All I need now is a good moisturizer.
