This is great! You can buy from africans in the street for $4.00 for a small size. I wish I had found out about this product when I was a teenager. I am in my twenties now.

I've used African Black Soap from Ghana for months and I love it. I think the main reason for the bad reviews is that people on here haven't used raw african soap, there are many copies of it out there, which is why buying online is your best bet. I buy mine from E b a y and it's very cheap ($5.24 for 6oz, currently) It might help very mild acne, but nothing amazing. I just love it because it's so gentle and pure which is everything you need in a good face wash, it shouldn't be helping your acne; that what a good treatment does. Remember, raw from Ghana. The women from there make it and pack it themselves. You will love it, so don't be discouraged by the bad reviews. Good luck. :) (BTW: for cysts try Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion) Help a ton. - My acne is really bad, almost severe if anyone finds that helpful.

Pros:

only 4 ingredients
all natural
deep cleansing
removes makeup
skin looks brighter
squeaky clean feeling, this friction allows you to remove all the dry and flaky skin which other cleansers cant - when I use cetaphil i have face dandruff ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cons:

slightly harsh at first
high pH level
despite this though it doesnt make your acne any worse, but generally this wont clear it alone

Ive been using it alongside Quinoderm (5%BP + lactic acid combo) and its perfect for removing the layer of dead, flaky dry skin. This review is for the Ghana variety of ABS, I have tried the Nigerian (dudu osun) and I wouldnt reccomend it when using BP etc as its a lot harsher and stings my skin.
