Nubian Heritage Soap Bar, African Black, 5 Ounce

I've been using Nubian Heritage-African Black Soap for almost 6 months straight.I have acne-prone skin. When I first started using it, it did make my skin feel dry but soon afterwards, my skin got used to it and it no longer feels dry after I use this soap. This gives a great deep clean to your skin. This works particularly great with an electric cleanser brush. I use a cotton ball with toner right afterwards and there is literally no dirt on it when I use it with the face brush. It has a nice pleasant smell. It's good to use in the shower and it suds up very well. This has helped fade my acne scars and my skin is also less oily. The breakouts that I do have (thanks to those stupid pms hormones [>:(]are smaller and go away pretty quickly. WARNING: MAKE SURE TO KEEP AWAY FROM WATER AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED USING THE PRODUCT because the water will make it smaller faster. I would definitely recommend this to individuals of all races that want a quality organic face cleanser without the crazy price tag. UPDATE: 11/1/13 The frequency with which I use this product has decreased because my skin started to get too oily. it started to strip my skin so I've started using the tea tree oil face wash by the body shop which I really enjoy. I have also started to moisturize my skin with grapeseed oil and my skin isn't oily anymore. I still like to use this soap about once a week instead of everyday to have that deep clean.this is usually on days that i'm about to use a face mask or if i only washed my face once the day before due to falling asleep before i could wash my face at night. I also like to use it as a body wash to help prevent body breakouts.

Love this soap! Moisturizing, nice smell, and decent size bar. 10/10 would reccomend

Very nice scent. It definitely has the African Black soap scent I appreciate. Doesn’t moisturize as much as I hoped but is still effective.

I have a small, thankfully hidden, area of psoriasis that flares up regularly. There are three things I have found that help: avoiding corn like it’s COVID, this soap, and flonase (an allergy medication that is a nasal steroid.) I don’t prefer to use steroid of any kind on a regular basis, so this soap is my holy grail for keeping that patch of psoriasis calm. This black soap is a very moisturizing soap with flecks in it that help exfoliate (some bigger than others, which some may not like.) Thankfully, although the scent is strong - and I’m super sensitive to many fragrances - this one does not bother me. I like the way it scents my bathroom for awhile after a shower. It’s a “sweet,” clean scent, so if that is not your jam, you may want to look elsewhere. For me, it is a staple.

I’ve been using this soap for years. It really keeps my skin clear and feeling soft. It smells really nice too.

I love this soap! I use it to wash my face every morning and night. I quit using face scrubs and face wash and products like that. Those left my face feeling like it wouldn't rinse clean, like those products left something behind. Not this African soap. My face feels truly clean when I use it. I have been using it for 3 years now. I learned about it online, when I was researching a face skin condition my dermatologist diagnosed. This soap is mild, good for my sensitive skin, but doesn't dry it out like some soaps will. This soap truly is black, but it doesn't stain my washcloths or towels at all. There is no fragrance in it, and it smells "neutral", not at all bad. The one weird thing about it is that there are bits of small stones/large sand grains in it. As the soap is used, they start to stick out. Every once in awhile, I use my fingernail to pick out the pieces, and just throw them away. No big deal. I love this soap!

Growing up, my best friend was African-American, and I recall always seeing "African" soap in her bathroom. The soap was always black, and I recall thinking that was interesting, and perhaps it was something specific for her skin type. I wish I had asked her about it at the time -- I would have saved thousands of dollars and many years of fighting skin break outs had I discovered this before. I purchased this product because I received a free sample of a similar product - http://www.amazon.com/Shea-Moisture-African-Black-Soap-8/dp/B005C2N8IC - from a sample website. I was slightly hesitant to try it, but did and LOVED it. My skin had never looked better. Unfortunately, that particular product is close to $9 a bar on Amazon -- so I went looking for an alternative and found this soap, which is even better than the Shea Moisture bar that I received for free. My skin is smooth, moisturized, and, most importantly, it is completely clear for the first time in years. I have used nothing else on my face since I've used this soap -- not even moisturizer -- and it's never looked better. A few notes: -It does have a slight scent to it. I am very sensitive to smells, but this does not bother me at all. -This bar is LARGE! I would actually recommend keeping it outside the shower OR cutting the bar into thirds and just keeping one third in the shower at a time. That way it will last longer.

Lately, I've spent a fortune on products trying to 'simplify' my skin care routine and bought this soap because I read/watched reviews that it was good for oily skin and might help with adult breakouts (plus it was cheap). But, sadly this is yet another product that works for all the beauty gurus and does not work for me. While it does seem to keep the oil under control, it leaves a film on my skin and doesn't seem to really penetrate below the surface. In addition to that, the texture of my skin seemed to worsen. I've only used it for a couple of weeks but I am not going to use it on my face anymore and see if I have better luck using it on my back.

J'adore!! Reçu très vite. Je l'utilise depuis 5 jours. Matin et soir. Point négatif : un peu asséchant. Il fait bien hydrater la peau après usage et un peu salissant pour le lavabo. Point positif: mes tâches de pigmentation disparaissent ( j'ai une peau type métissée et atopique), mon teint est plus uni et surtout ma peau est incroyablement adoucie. L'odeur est très agréable. Je vais en recommander un stock!

ممتاز

If you looking for clean face , bright and clear of any spots , you should buy this soap

I'm not a big fan of bar soaps but used this on a friend's recommendation. It surpassed all my expectations. This soap feels like lathering your skin with a high quality conditioner. I don't have that dry feeling anymore after taking a bath. Highly recommended.

Lo mejor para combatir el acne del rostro y cuerpo.
