This all-natural face wash and mask combines real African black soap—made from the ashes of plaintain and cocoa pods and prized by women around the world for its abilities to battle blemishes and the signs of skin aging—with rejuvenating South African rose hips oil to leave your face clean and refreshed. The formula is 100 percent natural, fragrance free, and gentle enough for those with sensitive skin.
no product has ever cleaned my pores as deeply as this cleanser. It works wonders. I only use it a few times a week (not 2x a day as recommended) and it still does better than any peel or exfoliant or cleanser or mask. I found this product through the website Beauty Sage, where they had a lot of great reviews. Try it!
5I usually have somewhat sensitive skin so the description on the back of the label about "feeling it tingle" made me a little uneasy when this first arrived in my birchbox. But having tried it a few times now I'm a big fan! The extra cleanse it gives my skin at the end of the week makes me feel refreshed and glowing for the next day!
4I have been using this soap on and off since the beginning of July when I first ordered it. I noticed that when I wasn't using it daily my face would become more clogged and I would have more blackheads.
This soap really does unclog your pores. I found it a bit tedious to use at first because you do have to let it sit for 5-10 minutes before you wash it off, but that no longer bothers me at all. I am more than willing to let this sit on my face while I do something else if it means that my skin looks clear!
The scent is definitely not the most pleasant, but I am able to get past it. It does not last on the skin once the product has been washed off.
I highly recommend trying this for problematic, acne skin. In addition to being acne prone, my skin is also very sensitive and sometimes dry. This soap has not irritated my skin at all. I make sure to use a good moisturizer to avoid my skin drying out. I am so, so pleased with this product!
I see that people complain about the smell, but that is because this is an all natural product. The smell is smokey because of the plantain and cocoa pod ashes in it. Does not bother me at all because it works wonders! My pores are clean and smaller after using and it loosens up dead skin. I make sure to throw on some jojoba oil as a moisturizer afterwards. I would highly recommend it!
