This soap is divine. The black soap is drying so I use the coconut papaya one from Nubian Heritage after I rince off the black soap because it seems to conditions the skin and my skin is less dry. Using the two together has been wonderful. I have 20 year old stretch marks from childbirth that are fading! Anything that can do that is a winner in my book. I thought I would be stuck with those for life and never really tried to do away with them since I thought it was a lost cause. Then I started using these products and I swear in two weeks I started to notice that those stretch marks were fading and some disappeared all together. I told my boyfriend and he said it was placebo effect but then he started to really notice dark spots fading and completely disappearing as well and now he is using the soap too which means now I have to buy more since it is going quite fast. Also got my teen and 22 year old to start using it. Now my bathroom smells like a tropical paradise every time I bathe and now showering is no longer a chore but I actually look forward to the process. And my skin is smooth like a baby. Since the black soap can be drying, I follow up with the coconut papaya soap since it seems to condition the skin. Plus the smell is quite yummy. Sometimes I use Carol's Daughter "Bring back the moisture" liquid soap which is also great and works well with the black soap. Then I rince. I follow-up with organic rose water as a toner, placed on cotton ball then dab over my face and neck. Rose water soothes the skin. I moisture with organic coconut oil. I guess you can use shea butter moisturizer but I like coconut oil. For the body I either use coconut oil or the Coconut Papaya body lotion with vanilla bean extract when I have it. It smells so yummy and is excellent for the skin. I've been using these products for almost a month and have had excellent results. Dark spots on my face have disappeared from teen acne years, the occassional pimple I used to get is no more and stretch marks on my breasts are gone, the ones on my thighs have faded, not completely gone yet but I took a pic when I noticed they were fading so that I can compare in a month but I can already see they are fading by the naked eye. For the person who said that if you are light skinned African American not to use this soap because it makes you lighter. I am light skinned AA and the soap didn't turn me into Michael Jackson ghost white or anything. On the other hand, I have noticed that my complexion has evened out since the dark patches and spots are gone. I use the same color foundation that I used before...now just less of it since I don't have to try to cover dark spots since they are gone. Works for people who are not of color aka caucasian as well. My boyfriend is Scandinavian and it works for his skin as well and you don't get whiter skin than that. The soap doesn't know skin color. Also, I don't rub the soap directly on my face since it has stuff in it, I guess for exfoliation and I have sensitive skin so I rub the soap in my hands and get a really good lather then wash my face with my hands that way I'm not rubbing my skin with the bar and causing unnecessary irritation. I think maybe that's why some reviewers are complaining about irritation. Don't put the bar directly on your face and scrub. I never put any bar directly on my face anyway. I do put the bar directly on my body and wash away since my body is less sensitive and can take the scrubbing but if I have just shaved my legs then I lather the soap in a wash cloth and then use the wash cloth to clean so that I won't cause irritation to my freshly shaven legs. I also noticed that the hair on my legs seems to be growing back slower since I've been using this soap. I don't know if the enzymes in the soap is stimulating the hair follicles less or what but I have noticed slower hair regrowth. I don't know if it's a result of the soap or something else but I'm not complaining. The soap is also great for the eh em private parts...especially the coconut papaya...you'll be yummy smelling and delectable all over...don't ask me how I know, just trust me...enough said about that one. The soap is supposed to be great for tightening the skin and preventing wrinkles. I don't know if this is true since I'm 41 with no wrinkles so far, so I say, cool, don't have none, won't be none especially if I use these products. Win Win! This soap is a little more expensive than your average chemical filled soap but it's worth it. I was using Dove which I would pay $7 for 8 bars. Now, I pay $10 for 4 with one bar lasting about 3 weeks since now my boyfriend decided to use the soap too and I'm spending a lot more time in the shower with it but it is so much better for my skin so I don't sweat the price. And for those who complain that it discolors white wash clothes..fooey, don't use white wash clothes then! I use dark colored ones and don't have a problem with discoloration. Wash clothes are cheap...you can always replace them and buy more...you only get one skin. *****update 08/08/2011***** I've been using the soap for a few months now and I did a test, I had a pimple and silly me, I kept picking at and it resulted in a very dark spot on my face once it was gone. Decided this was the perfect time to really see if this removes spots since I had a fresh one. So I continued using the black soap/coconut papaya soap, rosewater as toner, and coconut oil as moisturizer combination and that dark spot is completely gone. It did take 4 weeks but it was very dark. So, these products do remove dark spots. *****update 12/10/2013***** It's now a little over 2 years since I've been using the African Black Soap. I have it on autoship since I can't live without it. I would like to report that those large stretch marks I had on my upper thighs are just about gone. Some are completely gone and the other "deeper" or shall I say darker ones are barely visible. Another 6 months or so and I think they will all be gone. This soap has done wonders for my skin. I only use it every other day now on my face because it can be drying but daily on my body. I also noticed that I took it with me on vacation at a nice spa and it did not stain the white towels at all. It rinsed completely out hence verifying that if you use expensive, good quality washcloths it won't stain. It only stains cheap, low count cotton cloths. But like I said before, wash cloths are a dime a dozen, but you only have 1 skin. Also, I will like to say that I do not work for the company and they did not pay me anything for the review...not even a free bar of soap...not even a thank you, so please don't accuse me of working for them just because I gave it a great review because I love the product and believe in how it has helped MY SKIN. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Thanks. Read more

Compré el pack de 4 y sólo me llegó uno. Los jabones ya los he usado anteriormente y me gustan, pero ahora tengo que solucionar esto con los inconvenientes que acarrea Read more

Sarà almeno la quarta volta che lo ordino. L'ho consigliato anche alle mie amiche. Il profumo è ottimo, profuma anche il bagno. La consistenza e cremosa. Pulisce in profondità pur lasciando la pelle molto idratata Read more

I planned to use this on my face and body because I have uneven skin tone on my back as well as my face. This seemed very impractical since I have 2 showers a day on average and 1 bar lasted me about a week or 2 max. It left me feeling squeaky clean but you need to replenish the moisture as soon as possible, I used the Alaffia shower gel (another natural black soap) because it's moisturising and does a similar thing. I would use Dudu Osen on my face with my clarisonic, it was fine initially but quickly started to burn and I couldn't use it as often. My all time favourite black soap is the block bar (The one you can get from Coastal Scents, the big block of black soap that you need to cut up). I noticed my skin tone evening out after about a week and a half of using the block soap and it left me squeaky clean without drying my skin out so much. Also, I use it everyday on my skin and it is starting to clear up, I feel comfortable without make up and it. Even so, this is a 5* seller with fast shipping. Read more

Provides good lather and clears the oil from your skin. Also be careful not to use more as it can over-dry your skin. Read more
