Home > Ask the Dermatologist > Questions & Answers > Answer Dermatologist Answers Online Search the database for your question: African Black Soap (liquid) Question I have been searching the net for African black soap for acne. A lot of people have said it has cleared their face. So I picked up some black soap (liquid) by Uncle Harry's ( natural skincare) I have used it for 4 days and it has helped a lot and its fading my dark spots. I was wondering if I should continue to use this, its a soap and I know that's bad right? Also some days it leaves a slight oil shine on my t-zone so I skip the moisturizer , I have been using the MD Forte Replenish Hydrating Cream, maybe its too heavy? I have used brands like PTR, MD Forte, jack black, Zirh, Neutrogena, Miessence, etc, I have been thinking about trying Glytone or Cosmedix but the black soap seems to be helping , I just don't know if maybe I should add maybe a toner ? gel moisturizer? THANKS Answer It's not true that all bar soaps are bad for the skin. As long as you are using a pH balanced bar soap that contains beneficial ingredients, then it is fine to use it. The MD Forte Cream may be a bit heavy for your skin if you are noticing a bit of shine in your T-Zone, but unfortunately I can't say for certain with a visual and proper consultation. I'm not familiar with this particular cleansing you are using, thus I'm uncertain whether you would also require a toner. However, proper hydrating product would be helpful such as CosMedix Phytoclear. Best skin care wishes. Meagan, Esthetician Add Comment » Phytoclear by CosMedix $58.00
