However, due to the lemon juice in Dudu Osun, what treats my face the best is actually Ghanaian soap. Used in conjunction with Shea butter, it smooths the complexion the best of all African soaps I have used.
There are several kinds of African black soap, out of Togo, Ghana, Nigeria, and other places. Most of them are just ok...they are soap, IMO. The Nigerian soap (Dudu Osun) seems the most cleansing with the natural detergents of lemon juice and palm kernel. However, I may be mistaken, but I think it is cocoa ash that seems to be the trick in the particular Ghanaian soap I use on my face (and sometimes my body).
I can testify to the fact that it has improved my skin appearance very much. I don't have the best-looking skin now, but natural skin care has certainly made significant and noticeable improvements for me amongst my friends and family.

Oh okay, cool. I think I might order some. I don't like that commercial crap. How's the smell?
