IS THIS PRODUCT GOOD FOR AFRO-AMERICAN SKIN?

I don't see why it wouldn't be. It is very moisturizing and does NOT contain anything at all that is harsh or would cause burning. You DO have to use it for a few months, in order to see/feel the full benefit. I found it to be a great replacement for a SkinMedica product, that I had been using, which cost about 3x as much (and that was on Amazon--the dermatologist office was even higher). To my understanding the active ingredient in it is something that stimulates new skin cells and regenerates the old ones.

I don't know personally, but any dermatologist or plastic surgeon could tell you. Many of them sell this product in their offices.

Yes. It helps bring the deep acne scars and breakouts to the surface so though it looks like u have more breakouts, once they're gone your skin will have a smoother texture. I use African black soap as a cleanser with it and it has gotten rid of the bumps in my acne scars. And if you use it everyday you won't get new breakouts. Just put some lotion afterwards if it makes your skin too dry

It does, I use this product for dark spots and I'm African American with a bit of time, the spots fade away.

I'm of Irish/Scottish descent. My hair was getting really frizzy because I have a lot more grayhair now. I LOVE this product. I'd given up on having shiny hair again. This really works. So,I don't know about African American hair, but I think it's worth a try!

I read a few reviews that yes African Americans can, and do use this product.

Yes you can use this product as is. Natural is always best. My father is African and says that this is the real thing.

I am not African American --- but I would think this product would work on any kind of hair. It gives your hair a shiny finish. Doesn't alter the color or texture of your hair. The price is good. It will not ruin your natural hair. I have used this for years. Good luck!

Yes, it does work on African American hair. This is the first time I've used it for my dry, damaged, over-processed hair. My hair is thick and coarse and after the first application, feels and looks soft and healthy! Instead of leaving it on for 10 minutes per the instructions, I left it on for 30 minutes and put a plastic cap over it. So far, it's a keeper!

I think it would be PERFECT for African American hair! I love it on my white bread hair, but the stuff is simply GREAT and it seeps in to the hair shaft in minutes so I say yes! Your hair should soak it right up!

I'm not sure what type of skin you have, or if you're African American so it's difficult to give advice. However, I'm a caucasian woman and apply this product all over my face to help even my skin tone. The 'lightening' isn't dramatic and takes time to see a difference. You might want to use it all over and then add an extra dab on your dark spots. Good Luck!

It certainly reduces bumps on my face, but Im white. I don't know if black skin is that different. I suppose it depends on the individual. This is the only product I have found that properly stops razor burn. Hope this helps

I think this product is the best. I am African American, and I have very thick/long/coarse hair. I use after I wash my hair (put a plastic cap on) and sit under the hairdryer. I leave it on overnight. Works great!

hello to ddanon, i've got a secret to tell you. i'm african american. my skin tone is equal to gina's best friend on the comedy show martin. lather up your face with the soap and wash off immediately. please use a good moisturing lotion for the face after you wash. with darker skin tones you face with become lighter, clearer and begin to brighten.

Im not african american, but i do have coarse frizzy hait amd it works just as good as a chi straightner. I hope that helps

Yes it does help on african American hair, I have pretty similar to african American hair because my hair is thick, coarse, and dry, and it helped me for about 5 to 6 months, also is the frequency that you wash your hair with that will determine whether or nother it lasts you or not. By the way I suggest getting 2 sets instead of one because even though it is plenty it wasnot enough for me because my hair absorbs fast and I have a lot of hair

I'm not really sure. I use it more like blush and eyeshadow than anything else. I think it would look good on just about any skin type where you like a warm, earthy tone but I've only used it on myself and I'm caucasian. I can tell you that it works a lot better in the summer when my skin is a darker tone than it does in the winter. A little goes a long way with this stuff.

No, this product is far too strong and damaging on African-American hair!The other 3 answers that disagree are from 1. Someone whose used it ONCE. 2. Someone who is mixed, which normally gives u a different texture of hair. And lastly Someone who not only responded they "think it could" but gave this item a 2 star review.Purchased it and initially fell in love... it's been 3 months and my hair is fried. I had strong, healthy, natural hair after cutting it over a year ago. After switching to this flat iron my hair is so damaged I'll probably have to cut it again.
