I thought I was using the real black soap, but now see that it was fake black soap. The Nudian Heritage one, I believe it has black dye in it and is hard. After I had washed my face with it last week, my face had a bad reaction as it is now swollen, very red and irritated, the pores are still now very large on my cheeks and nose areas, it stung whenever I touched it or put anything on it but not anymore, and even my skin had broken out as though I was allergic to shrimp or something. I now threw it in the trash.

I know I have sensitive skin and this happened to me before back in highschool with using the and w/a facial soap and with the Stridex acne wipes. But, this is worse. I was hoping the black soap would help lighten my blemishes and acne spots. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi Eternal,

I've never heard of 'Black Soap', what is it?

Years ago my mother had bought me "Black Soap" she had got it at the bulk barn of all places, It has charcola in it- I wonder if that is the one you are talking about. But it does dry out your skin (acne) but I don't remember if it lightened my skin at all. I was just to happy to clear up my face to notice anything else!

Sounds interesting mony.

I use real African black soap and never had a problem with it. I bought it online. It's brown with black specks. A very soft soap. Great for acne. I use it for my face, body and hair. Great stuff.

I've seen it in drug stores- always on the bottom shelf with the old-time remedies, not competing with the big brands in the middle at eye level on the shelves!!!
