I use this soap daily in the shower, and it has significantly improved the keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and has started to eliminate body acne while leaving my skin soft and smooth. At the end of the first week, it had already reduced the KP on my arms by almost 25%. The reason this soap knocks out KP and early blemishes is that sulfur is a keratolytic, meaning it softens keratin. Keratin is a fibrous protein (the hard, waxy plug) that clogs pores, both in acne and KP.

Another reviewer on a different page said that this soap smells terrible. I personally think the scent is very mild and non-bothersome; it hardly smells like sulfur at all. People who have tried the gamut of acne treatments shouldn't have any problem with its scent -- just don't go in expecting it to smell like Herbal Essences.

The soap is a yellowy-beige color and feels slightly grainy during use. It makes a thin bubbly lather and washes off easily. Shop around for the best price -- I found mine both online and in a local health food store for less than it sells on Amazon. Recommended for people who want more control over their body's hyperkeratinization.

I purchased this because I have fair, oily, acne-prone skin. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

I use it every day, once a day in the shower. The instructions say to use it twice a day, however.

The few blackheads I had, on my nose are gone and my face is nice, smooth and acne free.

It does smell like sulfur though. It's not too overpowering, but even after I get out of the shower I can smell it. The smell does go away though. I usually use my body wash after I use the soap, that way I can cancel out the sulfur scent.

The smell, notwithstanding, it's a great acne soap and I will repurchase.

i was at the point where i really didn't think anything would work. i have incredibly sensitive skin and i am extremely allergic to everything. this product not only cleared up my acne it also cleared up the blackheads, completely. i have to caution that this soap is drying but after a week or two my skin adapted and is no longer dry (i can't use moisturizers because i'm allergic). i strongly suggest this product.

I have sensitive skin. Products like benzoyl peroxide aggravate my acne problems and my dermatologist advised me to stay away from it. I am also very fair skinned so every red spot shows immediately. I have had good luck with sulfur based products, so I tried this soap. The soap does dry my skin out, but I have also found that any cleanser that has helped my acne usually does. At first some spots on my face broke out a bit, but there had been some latent spots that probably needed to be "pulled out" so to speak. In the past few days these spots have started to dry up and lose color. I will alternate use of this bar with a gentle cleanser like Purpose, but I think it has helped my skin a great deal.

The soap worked better than I exected it to. My acne has been reduced by atleast 75%. Other reviews and my doctor warned me of how drying the soap was but I didn't find it to be too bad. I used a non-acne facial moisturizer after each wash and have been fine. The only complaint I have about the soap is the smell. I wish it had a nicer scent. When first taken out of the package it smells fine but once wet you can really smell the sulfur. I don't care for the smell of sulfur. I would recommend this product to friends and have.

It really works & it's natural. You can feel good about using it on your skin.

This soap is nothing short of a miracle! I have suffered with acne since my early teens (I am now 29) and nothing would clear it up. I have had both over the counter and prescription medications, even expensive laser treatements. I tried this soap after reading all the positive reviews and after only a week my skin has improved dramatically. I have no new blemishes and no more blackheads! If you've tried everything with no luck, try this soap.

I bought this soap based on the reviews I read here. I like it. I am not sure if it's the end all for my skin, but it's part of my regiment now.

i've had small bouts of acne in not so sexy places on my body (back/butt) from working out and this is GREAT. worked on all and i have tried everything! the sulfur smell isn't the best, but if you look at proactiv and many other great acne meds, sulfur is a key ingredient. this is cheap and does the trick. buying it again and will keep using it.

We did not have good luck with this product. My skin (46) was not bad at all but I thought the product would be good for my skin. I actually broke out and I usually have no blemishes. My daughter (15) does break out and had several new break outs as soon as she started using the product. We will not be using this item.
