Alexandra we use black soap with shea butter. Gentler on skin. We love this soap! Works well on all skin types. Half family has normal skin...half oily. We use on body n face. Smells earthy with touch of musk like. It fades quickly. Be careful not to get in eyes...BURNS! Hope helps �

I use the soap for both body and face and sometimes as shampoo. I also use it to clean stuff. The smell is kinda weird, and I wouldn't know how to describe it.

Hi Alexandra, I use the Black soap with Shea Butter for face, body and my hair. I love the smell and you feel so clean after using the soap. I cannot remember what it smells like as it has been sometime since I had any of Dr. Woods Products. Like any soap used on the face avoid getting any in your eyes. As stated, I like the product with the Shea Butter...I did not have any issues after using, just fresh clean skin and hair. I also used it on my two year old grandson without any problems.

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 use it on my face and body but I don't have sensitive skin. The smell is pleasant. This product leaves your skin soft and non drying.

Yes, my skin is clear, smaller pores, and a glow. I will use no other soap again. My daughter has very sensitive skin. This is the only thing she can use without being red or irritating. Thanks.

You can use this every where... I would recommend dilution however as very little goes a long way. I use a foamer bottle with about 1/8 of this soap... Add some pure tea tree oil, a dropper full, and fill with water. It's literally the only soap I use and it has worked wonderfully for keeping adult acne in check... But that's me and everyone's skin is different... And I'm not a dermatologist... I won't ever use another soap though. One bottle has last me almost four months.

When I first bought the product it made my skin have a tingling feeling for a couple of day. Your skin has to get used to it. Since using my skin is great. Maybe you might be allergic to one of the ingredients in the soap.

This soap was too strong/harsh for my skin...not sure if it will help with acne...I will not buy it use this again.

I tried this one, mild, creamy and cleans well. There's also another soap that I like - goat's milk(you can smell milk, applying) - it even works for my face; my facial skin is extremely sensitive and dry. It may vary person by person. Once tried, you'll know it.

I don't recommend this soap. It smells good but i don't notice any acne or oil improvement :)

Cyn, it is normal, no need to be worry. The soap is made from tree ashes and herbs, so color really depends on that ! The smell might be weird fr some people, but it's a little miracle for all kinds of problems. I even healed my dog and his skin with it. Best of luck Cyn

I washed my face and body with this soap and it was great, left a really clean feeling. I used to use cold tea bags and a frozen spoon for under eye bags but it took to long so I skipped to just rubbing coffee mixed with a tiny bit of water directly under my eyes, left it on ten minutes then rinse. I did that every day. It worked. A lot of under eye creams use coffee because it helps liven up the skin under the eyes and tightens it up. Now for puffiness, I would use frozen spoons, ice and after the ice apply a bit of coffee. The soap has coffee in it and a really nice caffeine like scent, it should work too.

not that I have noticed and I am fairly sensitive to 'smell' that is out of place.I used to wash hands and face this morning, it's light and refreshing. If you give it a try, will you please let me know what YOU think of this soap? :)

I use a good bar of olive oil soap. With the brush, I get a deep clean without stripping my face. I use olive oil soap for my body too, and use it for shampoo. Olive oil soap is the best. I love the imported olive oil soaps, especially the Greek and French, but good old Kiss my Face olive oil soap is fine too.

I am not sure. I have not used the other but I really like this soap. Myself and my daughters use it every day. One daughter's face likes to breakout but hasn't been bad since we started using it. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

It does lather a little...not like soap though. I and my daughter have very sensitive skin and it leaves our skin feeling soft and hydrated. Our skin is never left feeling "squeaky" clean or dry with this cleanser.

Hello Daniel, hardly any fragrance at all (which I prefer) - and when you have washed it off, there is no fragrance left that I can tell. I like to wet-shave first (which opens up the pores and sheds most of the dead skin) then take a shower - more hot water opening the pores - then use this scrub after I wash my hair and leave it on until I'm done and ready for a final rinse. I guarantee you will exit the shower feeling like a new man. My wife is constantly poaching this scrub for herself!

I bought both because I too was curious. I do not see any noticeable or significant differences in the feel or results of the face versus body versions. I've used them both on both my face and body, and it feels and looks the same. I love this stuff, by the way. My skin is way softer after using this than any other exfoliaters I've used before. Hope this helps!
