I originally bought this over a year ago in hopes to help my face acne, but I also decided to try it as a body wash. I definitely wasn't initially impressed with the runniness or smell. I tried it with a body puff for my body and with a Clarisonic for my face. After a few months I gave up because I wasn't seeing any improvement with my face acne or bacne (I'm talking cystic and EVERYWHERE). My face seemed to be getting to dry and irritated, so I blamed the soap.
Fast forward a few months, and I randomly came across the reviews for the Salux Japanese Body Cloths and immediately gave into the hype and bought a set of three. They're so cheap! Also randomly, I saw a reviewer mentioned they used them in conjunction with Dr. Woods Black Soap for their body. I figured I didn't have much to lose since I was struggling with nasty skin on my back and constant ingrown hairs on my legs, and I had this massive 32 ounce bottle with about half still left.
I'm not kidding when I say that the results were almost instaneous. Within a week my bacne was completely clear! Do you realize that I have struggled with this issue since pretty much puberty, and no amount of prescribed meds ever cleared it up. The skin on my entire body is so flippin' soft, as in baby soft. I literally rub my hand over my back a dozen times a day because it's NEVER been pimple-free and this soft EVER. My mom says as a baby I had shark skin, so I apparently didn't even have baby soft skin when I was a baby:/
Now onto the face. Hrmph...I'm still struggling with this area and finally gave myself up to the professionals. However, I decided the Clarisonic was the cause of my irritation. So I ditched it long ago. In the past month Dr. Woods is getting used from head to toe. I'm exfoliating my face ever so gently with the Salux cloth every other day with the soap, and I will say my face is feeling much softer and not irritated. I may reduce that ritual to only a couple of times a week so that i don't over exfoliate. The face acne is hanging around with a vengeance, but my derm switched up my meds recently. I only get acne on my cheeks, but the rest of my face is very smooth and even looking since using the black soap.
Please don't hesitate to try this soap. I would abosutely recommend it as a life-changing body wash (and I would definitely say the extra things that make it work are the Salux cloths). As a face soap, I have faith that it's helping, but I'll try to remember to give an update after prolonged use. For those who complain about the smell, you do get used to it, and the odor doesn't stick around after it's rinsed off.
