Not working for me anymore

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Dries out skin
Smells awful (until you just get used to it)
BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET ANY IN YOUR EYES! IT'S SULFUR SO EXPECT IT TO BURN MORE THAN ANY OTHER CLEANSER

For the first week I was washing my face with it in the afternoon and before bed and felt my face was clearing up. I moved down to washing with it once a day. I was taken off of an oral antibiotic a few weeks ago and broke out with numerous red, painful bumps. I figured the soap would help soothe it, but nope, it hasn't done anything for me. I guess I'll move back to washing with it twice a day...

Not for me

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Made skin very dry
Caused break outs

I've been struggling with acne for years now, and in the past I used a sulfur regimen that helped but made my skin dry and flaky. Now that I have a good moisturizer I decided to give sulfur another go, but unfortunately this made my acne worse. My skin became very dry even with moisturizer and my face broke out horribly. My mom even told me to quit using whatever I had been using because my skin looked so bad. I gave it two months and then quit. It was very cheap though and the bar lasts a long time.

Pros:

Fast acting
It smells good for me :D
Skin instantly feels like you had a face lift
Lathers Up easily
Controls oil

Cons:

Burns eyes
Drying

I've been using this for about a week or two and hopefully it'll clear up my acne I've seen results and it has gotten rid of my major hurtful breakouts very quickly. What I don't like is that it always gets in my eyes and stings badly. Some people don't like the smell but I like it, it smells clean.

Pros:

works

Cons:

lanolin which is like wax from sheeps' wool so I am not too sure if it'll clog pores and such.

I have only used this sulfur bar soap on my body chest and back and have noticed no more brakeouts in those areas. But i don't use it daily because on the box it says: Do not use on large areas of the skin. I don't know the reasoning behind that so thats why I dont use it daily. Im going to start using it on my face since its worked on my body but I am worried cus I know soaps leave a residue and Acne.org suggests not to use bar soaps cus of that, But we'll see.

Pros:

It works!
Clears body acne,
Lightens scars,
Fast & it's cheap too!

Cons:

Smells, after all it IS sulfur.

This is my god sent product. I have had body acne since I was about 13, and I have tried everything under the sun and nothing ever worked. It's been 10 days using this soap, as directed, and I'm 95% clear of acne, and about 60% clear of scars, which is amazing because my back looked like a warzone a week ago! I am so thankful to have found this stinky little miracle soap! :)

Pros:

Low Price

Cons:

Clogs Pores
Smell - Not at first, but later on the towel
Hassel to use - leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing
Burns eyes

I purchased this for my 16 year old son because of the good reviews. He used it for 4 weeks and his skin is getting increasingly worse (red rashy bumps). I do think it helped a little with blackheads. We wanted to give it a full 8 weeks, but then I researched lanolin. "Lanolin and its derivatives ranked a four out of five when rated on a five point scale, with ingredients rated five as having the most probability of clogging pores". So, once again, we're on to something new.

Try African black soap
June 13, 2012

Pros:

EVERYTHING
- prevents acne
- stops any progression of acne
- makes your skin soo glowy, vibrant, and healthy looking.
- cheap
- non drying or irritating
- leaves behind no film.
- safe for sensitive skin
- can use multiple times a day without dryness (I do morning and night).
- gets rid of acne fast (I use it for my face)
- smells ok and is esthetically pleasing
- Lasts forever

Cons:

NOTHING

This is the BEST purchase I have made for my facial acne. I struggled with acne for years, and never got the results like this. Benzyl peroxide did nothing but damage, salacylic acid was ok, but soon as it got rid of something a new one would form XD. I needed something to get rid of and prevent my acne, and this is the only thing that did that for me (along with tea tree oil, the only other great product I use). Not only that but the other washes seemed to dull out my skin, and soon as I stopped using them and went to this my family has started complementing how gorgeous my skin is, it just glows, isn't oil or dry, and looks so perfect and healthy as its ever been; uhh I'm in love with this. I can just go on and on about how great my skin is because of this. My acne is gone, I don't get new ones, and my face is so pretty with a healthy glow (no more dullness). PLEASE TRY THIS Its cheap and lasts a long time.

Pros:

Works fast
Clears acne
Fades scars
Speeds skin cell turnover
Nice smelling
Gentle for sensitive skin
Reduces redness
Reduces inflammation
Great for adult acne

Cons:

NOT ONE

I have been fighting acne ever since I graduated from high school. I never had any acne during puberty or while I was in high school but as soon as I graduated it was like my skin was making up for lost time. My mom and I have spent well over $1000 looking for remedies or cures that would help my acne. From pills to ointments, creams, and OTC solutions nothing worked. My mom finally looked back in our family's history and remembered that her grandma used to swear by sulfur soap for skin problems (including acne). Well, this is now the 3rd day I've been using this soap and my face is at least 70% clearer, less red and less inflammed than it was 3 days ago. TRY THIS. You will not be disappointed.
