I have seborrheic dermatitis and I've used both Shea Moisture's product and this. This works about the same and is much, much cheaper.

This soap can be used on face and body. It is extremely irritating to the skin and even have me a rash! You definitely don't want to get it in your eyes either! I was not a fan of the smell either. I prefer the bar of black soap that is sold in most health food stores. Getting a Shea/black soap combo will be gentler on the skin.

I have never tried the dudu-osun black soap because it didn't look as organic as the one that comes from Ghana. The pure black soap can't be shaped into any neat bars because of all the natural fats and plants they combine. It's an excellent soap. Trust me, I recommend this organic black soap to everyone I know. My best friend started using it and the dark patches she had at the side of her face as a result of hormonal issues have faded nicely. She now can't live without it.

Just use it like regular soap. I don' t buy store brand soap. I use this black soap.It lathers up well.

I have not yet tried TOBS's Lavender soap, but when I have tried other brands of soaps. I, however, have always found it harder to get a good lather with soaps. Perhaps it is the brush, or perhaps TOBS makes a much different soap. I will have to try their soap though, and I'll get back to you with an experience rather than just a guess.Blessings.

I am black and it works wonders. I also use African shea butter and it makes the perm last longer between touch ups.

Thanks Regina! I wasn't planning on heating but that's good to know too! This looks like the only Shea butter certified by the American Shea Butter Institute. I hear there are a lot of low grade non medicinal Shea out there.

Hey Carmen, I bought some a couple weeks ago. This Shea butter is nothing like store bought Shea. My Shea butter was very soft, smooth and minimal debris. I will say best Shea butter I've had so far.

It is very big, last a while if you gonna use it by yourself, I found another African black soap, it's not 5 lbs big chunk but it's like small individual, the brand is asam. That one is better. You know the 5 lbs chunk contain a lot of small stone/ rock, it's scratch my skin. That's why I choose Asam black African soap

Hello Consumer,I wouldn't buy it, for it irritated my skin and burned my skin. I have not purchase or know anything about the soap you mentioned in your posting. I would try a local beauty supply store versus buying this African soap..

I've never used One & Done but everyone sad that Natural Black Bronzer (the purple bottle) is better. That's the one I use and I love it! I've gotten so much darker very quickly. It smells like pia colada and isn't greasy at all.

This is NOT the "Intensive" Enjoy Hair & Skin Treatment Oil. The "Intensive" bottle has a red star on it. If you prefer the "Intensive treatment" this is not the one for you; however, if you have not tried it...please do! I have used both and find this one to be just as good. Hopefully this helped even though the reply came a little late. Good luck:)

There is probably a some difference in the fragrance, but the fragrance is not very strong, so that means little to me. I previously purchased the regular soap in local stores at a far higher price than I paid for this soap through amazon. That would be a very major difference for me.

Hi. I've only been using it for about a month. I can say i noticed something different but its not magic if you know what I mean :). I know a lady from my area that is using this soap for awhile now and her skin improves dramatically. I highly recommend that you try it and see it for yourself. Good luck!

I am Caucasian, so I can't vouch for this soap on African American skin specifically, but I can tell you I find it rather drying. If the person you want to give it to has sensitive skin, it would probably be a good idea to get something gentler.

I believe I saw something matching that description by the brand name snazii. It's sold on amazon at a ridiculous $16.39 + $8.79 shipping, but you can find it on ebay for under $3. It's made of Bamboo charcoal, shea butter, almond oil, glycerinum. Have you used it before? Would you recommend it for facial cleansing?
