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

submitted by Reginald - 7 years ago
  • A: Yes it does reduce pore size and it helps remove some dead skin.

    submitted byDancingqueen2316 - 4 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 - 7 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter (17) has sensitive skin and eczema. This body bar did not irritate or dry her skin. After a month of use, she noticed less eczema flare and saw more moisture in her skin. As everyone is different, I will say, this beautiful bar has found a permanent spot in our household.

Helps to even the skin and get rid of dark spots. Also helps treat acne and great at removing makeup and oils from skin. It’s very inexpensive and lasts for a long time!

I got this on the recommendation of Mikayla on TT. It has kept my face feeling fresh and clean without the dry/stiff feeling other bar soaps can give. From what I can tell, it has helped reduce breakouts, but not prevent them entirely. It smells lovely! One downside is the "black" can get messy in the shower depending on where you set it.

I bought this soap originally for my So, because they have extremely dry skin. He was attracted to the smell. It smells incredible. I also loved the ingrediants, oats, shea butter, etc... I didnt think I would use it. But because it smells so magical, I couldn't resist. It does a pretty great job when ny hair is dry and I need that extra moisture on my second wash. But, I also really like it on the body. It has some type of bit in it that provides a little exfoliation. It also is a large of a bar, way bigger than the normal size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finding quality African Black soap can be challenging. I've used this brand's hair care line so I figured why not try this. I have somewhat sensitive skin that is experiencing changes due to the big "hormonal" shift. My skin did not dry out and no film or residue. I give this soap 2 thumbs up!

In many cases I was afraid to try soaps on my face due to dry out and irritation, but African Black Soap did my face good. There wasn’t a scent or harsh chemical peels. The price is also right.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this soap for a few weeks now and it's been great. I have pretty sensitive skin and get blackheads on my arms/shoulders. Since using this soap, my skin has definitely calmed down some and definitely has not been irritated at all. I highly recommend this soap.

This product is truly a gem for those seeking a natural and effective solution for their skin concerns. First and foremost, the ingredients in this soap are exceptional. The African black soap, known for its deeply cleansing and purifying properties, works wonders in clearing up acne, reducing excess oil, and soothing irritated skin. Shea butter, another key ingredient, adds a touch of moisture and nourishment, leaving the skin feeling soft and supple. One of the standout features of this soap is its versatility. It can be used on both the face and body, making it a convenient option for those looking to simplify their skincare regimen. Whether you struggle with acne breakouts on your face or have dry patches on your body, this soap addresses various skin concerns without causing any irritation. The texture of the soap is smooth and creamy, and it lathers beautifully, creating a luxurious and indulgent experience. The gentle fragrance is subtle yet pleasing, providing a refreshing sensation during each use. I appreciate that SheaMoisture uses natural and ethically sourced ingredients, which aligns with my personal values. After incorporating the African Black Soap Face & Body Bar into my routine, I noticed visible improvements in my skin. My complexion appeared clearer, with fewer blemishes and a more balanced oil production. Additionally, my skin felt deeply cleansed without feeling stripped of its natural oils. In conclusion, the SheaMoisture African Black Soap Face & Body Bar is a standout skincare product that deserves recognition. Its natural ingredients, versatility, and effectiveness make it a must-have for anyone seeking a gentle yet powerful solution for their skin concerns. I highly recommend giving it a try and experiencing the transformative benefits for yourself.

I started using this soap for my face along with my body and I absolutely love it. This soap exfoliates my skin and it’s also gentle enough to use on my face daily. It’s not cheap but it does last a long time so it’s worth spending a few bucks on it.
