I keep hearing that black soap is great and honestly i want to stop using chemicals on my face and use more natural products. But i see there are many types of black soap. I used the Raw African Black Soap from Ghana - 1 Lb and i can't tell any difference in my skin. I still break out pretty badly. Will the Dudu Osun Black Soap 6 Pc work better for my acne. also i hear ppl say good things about the ones u can buy from BBS. Even though those are not the real black soap, but if it actually works for the skin i'll be happy. So which gave you the great results? One more thing i read where some say the best black soap is from Nigeria and some say Ghana because it is where the ORIGINAL soap is from.

Thanks discreet. I guess i will pass on it. I have also heard that it can be pretty harsh.

Try this Liquid Black Soap...

The fair-trade African Black Soap used in this liquid is handcrafted by women in Togo, West Africa using a formula passed down for generations using unrefined shea butter and unrefined palm kernel oil.  It is then blended with organic aloe vera juice to get this liquid form...

All black soaps do not look and feel the same. I've tried Dudu Osun before. It has a fresh smell. I used it for about 2 months --no improvement.

The 'authentic black soap' was dry, brown and it crumbles easily (ball form).
I think I bought it from Nasaab.

Now, the black soap I'm using now is dark brown, soft. When wet, some can be pulled off and it stretches like a super-thick caramel. Its the color of molasses-brown sugar. It will last for about 4-6 washings. It costs me $2.50 at my beauty supply. The packaging is saran wrap, with a paper label. They also come in different scents too.

I forgot the name though...

No. The one you are using is the authentic one. Just because the one I've used before was crumbled does not mean its fake. Like I've said, not all black soaps are the same. Black soap for one is not black. Its brown. Some have texture and some don't like Dudu Osun. Nasaab is a popular brand. No argument about that.

I got the black soap from Ghana off Amazon really cheap.  But it is weird, what is that white moldy looking stuff that grows on it when it gets dry?

It's like it helps my skin but also causes a few pimples, but fewer than I get without it.  (Although it could be my make-up that is causing the breakouts) 

I don't know but something seems impure about it.  If I hadn't bought pounds of it, I think I would go back Naasab.

I wish a biochemist type would test it for impurities.
