Q: Does Shea moisture organic black soap reduce pores size and slough off dead skin cells
submitted by Reginald - 8 years ago
A: I'm not sure b/c I just use the bar soap on my hands. Most soaps and hand washes itch or break my skin out. When I have an eczema outbreak, it's generally on my hands. The soap works very well on my hands; it calms my skin down and so far, it clears it right away. I have some of their body wash that I haven't tried yet. I don't see anything on the soap package or body wash regarding pores. The bar soap wrapper states "for acne prone skin and body bar". The body wash mentions helping psoriasis, and eczema. Neither mention pores, but heck, it can't hurt to try it and let us know.
submitted byjrericks - 8 years agoA: I do not know but asssume so as does most other soaps..... I use it in my hair, face, body & it does not dry out my skin !!! No dandruff
submitted byR2D3 D2 is dead - 8 years agoA: Yes it does reduce pore size and it helps remove some dead skin.

If I could give it 15 stars I would. I haven't had a face wash clean my skin this well ever. My pores are noticeably smaller and my face is way less oily after using it only a week. Im so thankful

I love this soap. It's great for my sensitive skin, smells good, doesn't break me out. The packaging is a slim plastic wrapper so that's fine too. It's almost exfoliating.
Smells SO good

This bar smells so delirious. It’s hard to say that it works effectively in removing dark spots and acne scares for face. However it is great for daily use on body. It smells so so good and it’s moisturizing for sure

I appreciated the scent and shea butter in this soap, however i did find it stung a little on my cheeks when using. I also had to thouroughly moisturise after using this as it dried me out alot! No difference in acne unfortunately.

I’ve been using Shea Moisture’s African Black Soap, and it’s a game changer! It deeply cleanses without stripping my skin, and the shea butter, oats, and aloe help soothe breakouts. My skin feels smoother, more balanced, and even dark spots are fading. The only con? It gets soft if left in the shower, so keep it in a draining soap dish. Otherwise, it’s a must-have for oily, acne-prone, or combination skin. Definitely repurchasing!

The smell is not really bad but strong, that being said it smells EXACTLY like Swedish fish. Again it's STRONG Swedish fish but if you're into that more power to you

Overpriced for hotel sized soaps! You can spend $1 more and get more than twice as much in a single bar. I like this product, but be careful because they hide the fact there are other sizes from you and this is the first that comes up when searching.
The BEST!

I love this soap I have been using it for YEARS! It has kept my face clear of not only breakouts but also helped improve discoloration. It doesn’t have fragrance and it last awhile.
Good

It's great, but you can dry a bit on your face if you have sensitive skin, but the overall product is great, and it does what it needs to be done for your face
great!

gadd - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
I hated how it left a filmy residue all over my skin that I could feel. It made my skin rough and made it such that it felt cleaner without having used the soap versus after and it left a sticky mess on ym skin. This happens with a lot of Bar soaps I have used, with very few exceptions

I love this soap. This is the first antibacterial soap that I found works every time. It has a subtle scent. The bar is also larger than most so it lasts a few months. The soap is more noticeable in the shower because of the black tint
