The Yellow Bird Natural Charcoal Soap Bar for Face, Body, Acne, and Sensitive Skin. Handmade with Organic Ingredients & Essential Oils

Nice. Soothing. Pricy but lovely. Tried different options, this is my second choice when my first choice is unavailable. Worth a try! Smells fabulous!

I have cystic acne as well as normal break outs and black heads. I used this soap for about two weeks before I decided to stop because I had washed my face 5 times in a row and my skin became colored and very sensitive, and I wanted it to take a break since I had suffered from facial discoloration for years in the past. It has nothing to do WITH the soap, I'm about to tell you the soap's great, it's more the fact that I washed my face 3 times (twice with a different gentler soap and then a third time with this soap) trying to fully remove a full face of foundation then applied neem oil which burned, then tried to remove that. So.. I'm just trying to be honest about the duration of time that I used the soap, not reflect poorly on the soap by that incident. I feel that I haven't used the soap long enough to know whether or not it is a miracle soap. It didn't deliver instant miracle results but it did deliver instant cleansing and felt healthy to use for my acne and I LOVE the smell. I still had a few small pimples but was beginning to see more balanced skin. I assume some of the small pimples could have come from the detoxing but they were under control from the regular use of the soap and I suspect part of the reason why my skin didn't just go wild is that my build up of toxins is tempered by my healthy diet. I have sensitive skin and I didn't feel that it was drying, as long as it was only used for just one lather and relatively immediate rinse and wasn't left on the skin. To those who say it is made of oil and can't clean oil, I can't testify to the perfect results of this particular soap, but African black soaps as well as green castile soaps that are recommended in North Africa to use in the case of acne, are all oil or fat based and that seems to be part of how they work to be cleansing, I am not sure why. I am looking forward to getting back on track with using this soap very soon and witnessing longer term results.

This product is very nice for sensitive skin! My daughter really likes the smell of it, so it’s the only face wash she’ll use that I have offered her so far. I love that it has simple ingredients, I am done using stuff with a ton of chemicals! It lasts awhile so it’s definitely worth the money I spent!! This was not the first time I have bought this product.

I like this soap! The smell is really invigorating. When I first opened the box, I was really excited to use it the same day because it just smelt so great! In terms of skin improvements, the first few days of use, my body skin felt soft but I saw some bumps on my face, and I wasn't pleased with that. I typically do not have bumps when I use Dove originals soap, but I had wanted to switch to something more organic that would actually improve the health and quality of my skin. I was thinking of not buying this again, but I had decided to stick to trying for a week. I'm glad I did, because by the end of the week/beginning of the next week, my skin looked really lovely. I was practically glowing and my skin felt really nice and comfortable. Disclaimer: I also use castor oil and aloe vera gel on my face so these products contribute to my results, but I do believe the charcoal soap played a big role in clarifying my skin by bringing out the impurities lying in the layers of my skin. This was probably why I saw the initial bumps. I also gave my mother some of the soap to use (I broke off a piece for her to try) as she had really bad skin due to using toxic skin care products for many years. She had itchy red hives all over her face because of those products that she had to cover with makeup. She tries this soap and, for the first few days, she had similar reaction as mine. A few bumps popping up on her face. But then there was a noticeable change in the quality of her skin after only a week of use. Her skin now looks softer, supple, and she has a youthful glow! (she also uses aloe vera and castor oil). Now she wants to buy 3 more bars and I even advised her to go makeup free because she will soon not need it! This soap is really a must try. It even keeps away mosquitos, apparently! I docked one star only because it can be messy to use in a white shower. You have to be mindful of how you use the soap, but I think that's just characteristic of using charcoal products. But this is one small detail in all the great benefits of use!

Great oatmeal soap that does not dry out your skin. Decent but not great lather but not drying or stripping when used with hard water. This was a great product but it is pricey for soap. I wish they made a shampoo I could try as this was pleasant smelling and very good on my skin. Size is great and it last long as well. Recommended to people who have issues with dry skin after bathing or showers.

Great soap

i don't have skin issues other than getting the occasional bump on my face and neck, and some dry areas on my body. i have been letting my facial hair grow out a bit and noticed the bumps were coming more frequently. after running out of face wash, i looked into alternatives and came across this product. cuz of the reviews, decided to give it a shot. it has a nice scent. it felt like it was doing something. rinsed off fairly clean. i cant say it has improved my skin (still a bit oily), but the bumps are gone and my facial hair does feel softer. i dont think it was effective on any dry skin areas. i cut off a 1/4 of the bar to try, and that piece has lasted me about 6 months. i like it for cleaning my face, but am unable to evaluate for any problem skin issues or improvement (thankfully). i have grown to prefer this product over any other face cleaning product i have ever used. but, due to my disappointment with the results on my minor dry skin (results dont appear to match their claims) and the price, i cant give it 4 stars.

My son loves this soap.
