Beetsbeets 405 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 So I have alot of back and shoulder acne and acne scars and I bought Dudu Osun black soap b/c someone recommended it to me. Have you used black soap before and how were your results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totally-seopies 1,786 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It makes my skin feel nice and I like how it smells (personally), but I use it for skin discoloration not acne so I dont know how effective it is for acne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Liu 1 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Who the hell would want to smell like Africa? (It's a vine so don't get triggered) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetsbeets 405 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 as a black person i feel bad for never trying it Most black people who aren't African haven't tried it lol don't worry, I've seen a lot of people from the UK using it though, both black and non-black, heard it's super good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamCam 1,874 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Black soap is EVERYTHING! It's really great for clearing up acne, and even helps with brightening skin. I used to use it on my face, but I switched over to OCM, and that helps out a lot. One good brand is Nubian Heritage, since it's cruelty-free & has organic ingredients, though it's even better if you can find raw black soap, too (it's brown in color.) Do try it out! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ynez the Splendid 1,528 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I heard it's seriously really good for you. I need to get some for myself, but read that you need to beware of fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totally-seopies 1,786 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I've heard of Murad body wash but its so expensive lol let me know though!! Usually for my face I use Clean & Clear advantage acne control face wash and a moisturizer and it works pretty well for me and its pretty cheap esp for acne products (and one bottle goes a long way) and I know that brand a lot of body products that are also cheap so maybe you could also look into those too But try out the black soap and see how it goes because I feel like its generally healthierr than kind of chemically acne washes.

Use tea tree oil soap sis Where can I get that lol I've seen tea tree oil but not any soap really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynez the Splendid 1,528 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I found a link to african black soap on amazon. The before and after pictures say more than anything. https://www.amazon.com/Best-Quality-African-Black-Soap/dp/B017DHRH3K/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1484268939&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=african%2Bblack%2Bsoap&th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caridee 5,322 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I tried it just because my sis bought like a dozen of them all at once before even trying it out first cuz of a YouTuber I don't have acne or discoloration or anything like that I just used it as a regular soap and I didn't like it. Maybe my skin is too sensitive but I was starting to get small pimples here and there and it smelled like vanilla? I think so that was another turnoff for me cuz it made my head hurt. So I stopped using it completely. Btw is it specifically made for African skin? Is that why it didn't work well with me?? I mean is it just as effective on non-black people (like me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I see and no its not made any type of skin, people who aren't African or black have used it and its been great for them. Maybe it's just too harsh for your skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean is it just as effective on non-black people (like me) No I've seen it work for a lot of people who aren't black. The only difference between African and any other skin is the melanin. I've heard it does work better on oily skin types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean is it just as effective on non-black people (like me) Now I haven't tried it, but one thing they say is that it has more of an ash/burnt smell? For yours to smell like vanilla probably means it wasn't natural/organic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
