Alright, let me start off by saying if you buy these individually it's way more expensive. I got this set at 16.99 and the soap alone is normally about $5 so I found this set very well priced.
I'm going to break down this review into four parts and touch bases with each product and how I felt about them individually and then as a whole.
All of the products claim the same thing in this line:
Helps refine skin while addressing problems associated with acne. Skin feels clean and refreshed.
• Made with natural and certified organic ingredients.
• African Black Soap is a natural remedy for blemished, troubled skin.
• Tamarind Extract is a natural astringent which helps exfoliate and brighten skin.
• Tea Tree Oil promotes healing with naturally anti-septic properties.
Soap Bar
How did I live without you all of my life? I would buy fifteen of these at once if I felt like they were going to be discontinued. I kept hearing about the wonders of black soap but this is my first time trying it. When I was my face with this I feel very squeaky clean. Honestly this is probably the cleanest a product has ever made my face feel. I need to buy another to put in my gym bag, this thing rocks. I feel like it's helped brighten my complexion and get rid of some of my bumpy forehead acne.
Also my skin feels super soft after using this, I also use it on my neck and chest to keep any bumps from popping up.
This is my favorite product from the set.
Scrub
A basic facial scrub like my biore/clean and clear/up&up/etc facial scrubs. Has the big exfoliating beads in it. I feel like this one is creamier, in a moisturizing way. Probably shea butter I'm assuming? But the one downside to this product is it smells AWFUL. It's at a borderline point for me where I can tolerate using it but hold my nose when I do. It's not even a scent that might grow on you (like noxzema has for me) but then again I'm sure some people may not hate it or even like the scent.
Moisturizer
Basic moisturizer, doesn't wow me. I really don't have anything else to say besides that. Also I dislike the tub, I prefer and feel like its more sanitary to have it in a bottle/pump.
Cream Mask
Garbage.
I do NOT have sensitive skin. I will start with that.
I use the whole regimen for this one night instead of using one at a time. All of the other products were fine and I liked enough but this....It felt fine on my face until I washed it off after I had a intense itching feeling. My face was blotchy and red and I instantly used my clairsonic and some cleanser and washed my face repeatively. I followed with a sensitive skin night cream and my face calmed down. I would give this away but I'm afraid it'll happen to someone I know and they'll hate me. If I'm brave I'll try it one more time and use nothing beforehand and see if it was a odd reaction to the other products...but I really doubt it since all I used were products from the same line that night?
All and all I would probably return this set if I didn't feel like it as too complicated to do so. I'm not wowed by anything except for the soap bar. The value is incredibly good if this works for you but if not keep everything to try and return it, I may still try to return mine if I can...
But as I said earlier, even if I returned this I'd buy 50 soap bars because they rock and I love it.
I purchased this product at my local Target for $16.99
