Osmia Skincare - Natural Black Clay Facial Soap Bar | Dead Sea Mud, Jojoba Oil, Mango Butter, Coconut Milk | Nourish, Soothe, Soften | Clean Beauty For Healthy Skin (2.25 oz | 64 g)

I purchased this product because I have very sensitive skin and I'm trying to combat perioral dermatitis and really crappy adult acne that's been going on for 10 years now. My skin doesn't like fragrances, alcohol, and come to find out over the course of the lockdown it really hates most soaps because of the SLSs. Heck, it even hates water past a certain temperature. This product however is one of the very few things I can put on my face and it not react negatively to. It comes as a fairly small bar, but a little goes a long way for sure with this product, so I foresee it lasting me a good long while. I use it just once a day before bed. The fragrance is like pine, bergamot, and a little citrus and if you can't imagine what that smells like, well... Imagine your local Whole Foods. You'll know what I'm talking about once you order it for yourself. A bit masculine, but not so much that it bothers me, and the smell definitely lasts after you've washed it off. There is a slight tacky feeling when you are washing it off, which is like any bar soap you'll use honestly, but it doesn't leave a residue or any unpleasant feeling behind on the face. Always leaves my skin refreshed, smooth, and radiant. It seems like it helps with my overall redness too. I'm using this in combination with the Cera Ve moisturizing cream/lotion (depending on dryness level) and a shift in my regular skincare routine, and so far this has been the best decision I've ever made when it comes to my skin. Highly recommend this product!

I bought this soap for myself and my 10 year old daughter who were suffering from a very painful case of perioral dermatitis. We had been fighting it for about 6 months and had gotten to the point where I couldn't stand the way It looked or felt, it covered my chin, up around the sides and above my mouth, into my nose, and had started under my eyes. Very painful. I read about this soap on a blog after tons of research. It was pricey but I was beyond desperate. So after 4 weeks I can officially say this soap has saved my face. The first probably two weeks my face was so raw and tender I barely did more than wipe it over my face. Now I can actually rub it in and really wash. The smell isn't very strong or offensive. However it did cause my face to seriously burn the first two weeks and I almost quit using it. It does still have a slight burn so I just use it at the very end of my shower and as soon as I get out I put a light layer of raw honey with a q-tip over all the affected areas. This immediately relieves the burn and it gently moisturizes as I feel this soap dries the area out a good bit. I leave the honey on as long as I can and strongly recommend this for relief from the itch and burn of perioral dermatitis. I also stopped using anything that contained floride and sodium lural sulfates. I used nothing and I mean nothing on my faces besides this soap and raw honey. Like I said it's still not 100% but if you can be patient this soap def works and is worth the money I think.

Wow! I am writing this review to hopefully help even one person with Perioral Dermatitis. I used this for the first time today and I already see a difference, weird how PD just pops in and out like that. My skin looks beautiful! Inflammation has reduced and PD bumps are smaller. The soap is soothing, hydrating and cleaning for my skin. I just want to thank the other reviewers who helped me in my descion to try this soap. Really, I don’t care how small this soap is or how expensive it is, honestly I’ve spent hundreds on trying to treat my Perioral Dermatitis. I was actually about to drop some more money on a really expensive skincare line but....then I found this soap! Based on the ingredients, I also feel this will help with me acne prone skin. I think I found my solution! Also, just as a warning to all the PD sufferers out there: watch out for SLS aka sodium laurel sulfate! Really, eliminate all sulfates! I thought I had eliminated SLS from my life but it is sneaky and hides under different names. I feel eliminating this toxic ingredient has also helped speed the repair of my PD. I now use Hello toothpaste and all my cleansers and skin care products are free of toxic SLS. I also follow a strict gluten and dairy free diet.* I just want to note that my PD breakout was very mild, that also could be why mine is healing very quickly. I know for more severe cases, it takes time for this to heal. However, I will say that my small bumps are already drying up and redness reduced after just one use of this soap. I also use Vichy mineral serum 89 to hydrate and calm my skin.

I cannot rave enough about this soap. I’ve seen estheticians denounce using clay as it draws moisture from the face. I use this soap along with many hydrating products so I can’t attest to it drying my face out when I use so many other products. I have suffered from perioral dermatitis (PD) and in my search for relief stumbled upon this cleanser. It spoke to me for its gentleness that claimed not to aggravate PD, the absolute void of plastic packaging, and it being “natural”. I am happy to say that after 6+ months of use, it is my favorite. And yes, 6+ months and I still have PLENTY use left. the bar didn’t seem nearly as big as I expected but it has lasted with daily use. The smell is nice, not overwhelming or bad (to me). I hope someone with PD can find some relief with this soap as well.PSAPERIORAL DERMATITIS:This soap did NOT cure my PD. If you listen and read to the creator of osmia, she suggests way to prevent/help PD. This soap helped by not further aggravating my PD. I also switched my toothpaste to Jason Power Smile because it did not have SLS or Flouride. I also took a small round of antibiotics (once). I do not wear makeup at all. I have always used Dropps laundry detergent which doesn’t contain sulfates. So all things considered, I don’t have any symptoms for more than 6 months now. So, please take that into consideration before putting all your eggs in one basket if you are looking for a cure all. IMO, switching toothpaste made the biggest difference.
