    Leaves Skin Flawless – minimizes pores
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I am 40 years old and still get pimples because I have large pores that get clogged easily. The soap I was using (Acne Aid) got discontinued. The apothecary recommended this product and it works amazingly.

    I wish I could have tried it sooner. My pores have reduced in size and my skin is so soft and clear. I use it twice daily followed with Noxzema Triple Clean pads. My skin has not looked better thanks to this routine.

    Please try this soap if you have large pores or a lot of blackheads.

    Really good acne/face soap
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I have a very oily skin and at first I was skeptical about this product.

    However, I am now about to order my second bar as this is just a wonderful soap! It leaves my face dry but not too dry, clean and acne free.

    Pros:

    - Very good face soap

    - No more blackheads

    - Significant improvement in acne

    Cons:

    - Too big – I had to cut mine into half so it can fit in my travel bag. Absolutely not a reason to not buy this soap

    Suggestion: Best to wash the face before you go to sleep and also, even more important: wash your face with soap when you wake up in the morning – it will make a big difference!

    Great soap!

    I purchased this to help with acne. NO NEW ZITS SINCE I STARTED USING IT!!!

    Pros: It has done a very good job of cleansing and drying out the acne without drying out my skin. I have had no irritation at all from using this product.

    Cons: It may slightly stain your light colored washcloths.

    Best soap ever!
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    This soap is probably one of the best finds ever. Before I found this soap I was using every facial scrub and anti-blackhead cream cleanser I could find. Some worked better than others but every time my face would get red because of the acids in the cleansers. Deitenseki soap solved that for me. It lasts forever and does a great job at keeping my face blackhead free. It cleans deeper than any of the other stuff I’ve used and dries with a nice matte finish without over drying my skin. The only downside is with such clear pores my pores are free to expel their oils freely. Overall a great purchase.

    Won’t Use Anything Else!!!
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I’m a 20 yr old female who is in college and I have tried almost every single face wash out there! I finally stumbled upon this and decided to try it. Thank goodness I did! I have extremely dry skin that is prone to breakouts and I had large, very noticeable pores on my nose. Since I started using this three months ago I’ve had great skin!!! My routine is to wash my face at night by using a small chunk of the soap, rubbing it into a lather on a washcloth and moving in a circular motion for about thirty seconds. I then moisturize with my favorite face cream of all time- Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream!!!! Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream – 15 oz The soap removes all the dead skin and impurities while the face cream (because it has mineral oil and beeswax and some other stuff) heavily moisturizes. I shower in the morning and just run warm water over my face and pat dry with no washing or exfoliating involved. This is extremely effective combo of products and extremely economical. I love it! Note: use a sharp knife when cutting the bar into about three or four pieces and you may lose some small bits but its perfectly okay I’m still on my first little piece after three months! Also my boyfriend who has a little bit of rosacea on his cheeks just lathers this up in the shower and washes and this works very well for him too!

    Not working for me :[
    Rating:3 out of 5 stars
    I really wanted to love this product. I have battled blackheads and whiteheads for as long as I can remember. I have combination skin = very dry and very infested with blackheads and whiteheads. I’ve learned that certain types of clay can draw out the gunk that clogs your pores so when I saw this and all the good reviews, I had to have it.

    The first day I used it, my skin looked like the skin you see in magazines. The whiteheads near my ears had reduced dramatically and the blackheads above my eyebrows had the same result. This was a miracle I thought. It must be very drying because I moisturize with emu oil (non-comedogenic) and I would have a few (very small) patches of dry skin at the end of the day.

    Within the next few days of using this product, the results became less and less noticeable. My whiteheads were slowly creeping back. It is sad really. But I guess you get what you pay for. It might work for some of you guys so I don’t discourage you from trying it, but it just didn’t work for me.

    My favorite facial soap

    I used this exact same brand for years when I lived in Japan. I continued to buy as much as I could carry every time I returned to visit. Now I can get it online! This is a great facial soap with a great clean smell and feel.

    It really dried up my oily skin. It didnt touch my scars but it did remove the oil that causes breakouts.

    Fantastic

    Amazing product, truly removes all impurities, I would not recommend using more than a few days a week or your skill will dry out.

    This soap is really different. Some friends told me about the soap from Japan, but I didn’t think that I can actually get it.

    no good for my acne
    Rating:3 out of 5 stars
    The first week of using the Deitanseki soap yielded fantastic results. However, after using this product for 4 weeks, it became obvious that my acne condition was only worsening. After the clear spell, it just got worse and worse. I am 26 years old and have been battling an oily acne prone complexion for 10 years. My condition has only worsened as I have gotten older. I was looking for a natural alternative to acne treatment. I had previously been using Proactiv, but after almost three years it had stopped working. I have mild to moderate acne, and this product caused my acne to reach the higher moderate levels, possibly severe if I continue use. I gave this product three stars considering it did give my skin a pleasant clean feeling without drying out my skin. It just didn’t help with my acne. The bar would certainly last over 3 months.

    Extremely good for acne

    I used this while I was in karate (practice 3 hours a day, 6 days a week) and it totally cleared up my acne. Great product!

    works great
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    Great product. Lasts reallllyyyyy long. Didn’t overly dry my skin, but it did dry up small pimples =) I tried to cut it up, but it didn’t slice too nicely because the soap is very dense – so it broke at irregular parts. I get a small piece and work it into a lather between my palms. It lathers surprisingly well. The smell as a little off-putting for me, but my friend thinks it smells good. I would buy it again, but that probably won’t happen until next year seeing as I only use it 3-4 times weekly and the piece I broke off hasn’t gotten much smaller.

    Best facial soap ever!

    This soap does exactly what it claims. It get’s my skin squeaky clean, without drying it out and it’s smoother after one use! I have dry skin and most soaps leave it flaky.

    A great facial bar soap that UNCLOGS pores!
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    I am a bar soap lover–I hate liquid cleansers. Not sure why, but I do. This one is great for pulling the goop out of pores and bringing it to the surface for removal. It makes your skin feel soooo clean-no residue. I have combo skin, more toward the dry side, and have developed adult onset acne on my cheeks and temple area. My chin and nose have always had problems with blackheads. This soap dramatically reduced the development of whiteheads on my cheeks, and really cleaned out my pores. I haven’t had any new blackheads on my nose for months! Note: I also stopped using a moisturizer (maybe that helped too). IT IS KEY to really take the time to lather this soap up on your face in circular motions. Note: This soap can be drying, but I have been okay using it without a moisturizer afterwards.
