03/09/2019, By CariMy family refuses to use any other soap since I started buying this one. Leaves the skin feeling very clean.03/09/2019, By HenrietteThis is a staple for me. Love the smell, doesn't dry out my skin, cleans effectively. And it has a built in scrub if you want it :)01/09/2019, By lapileApart from the fact that it stained my white cloths, this soap gives your skin a good detox. I feel sooo clean each time I use it!15/08/2019, By TraceyHubby loves this soap because of the rough texture12/08/2019, By RebreezeyAt first it seemed harsh but really it's a spoil that leaves your skin with that post-exfoliate-glow.12/08/2019, By BrynnaI use this soap as a facewash. I love that it's natural, so I know I'm not putting anything fake on my skin, and it cleans well.10/08/2019, By MPI buy this soap for my partner as he absolutely loves it. I find it to be a bit too harsh for my skin, but it smells lovely and is not badly priced.05/08/2019, By IsiI’ve had allergies for the past 11 years and always had issues to find a product which doesn’t make any problems. This soap is amazing. The tea tree oil helps my eczema and because there are no chemical ingredients, i don’t suffer from new eczema. My skin is smooth and healthy.01/08/2019, By MelI really enjoy the Kalyan range of soaps, they are not drying and have a lovely scent. We are actively reducing our plastic waste and this has replaced liquid shower gel in our home. I especially enjoy the exfoliation benefit of this bar.26/07/2019, By ChristyThis is our favourite household soap! It smells lovely and fresh, provides great exfoliation and is 100% eco friendly (including the packaging!)23/07/2019, By ClaireA good soap. Lasts a decent amount of time and I like the exfoliation. Not a bad price.21/07/2019, By NanaIt's a very good product for the skin, and has a natural body soft, silk outcome19/07/2019, By AnelThis is the only soap we use. It is great. Tried the 200g size last time, but it is too big. Difficult to hold for smaller hands and also does not last as long as two 100g do.18/07/2019, By GabiBetter than a lot of the others I have tried. Can be harsh if not used with a lot of hot water, would not recommend for sensitive skin. I normally buy a big block and chop it up to make it last longer.18/07/2019, By HannaThis soap foams better than other soaps I have used. Gentle on the skin. I wash my face and body with it and have been using it for almost a year.11/07/2019, By MelI haven’t been using this soap for long, but I’m loving it already! Leaves my skin feeling soft and extra clean. A definite must have!!11/07/2019, By TerriThis soap is great for the body, but when used on my face I had a bright red rash-like pattern for 2 hours after using it.02/07/2019, By NCI have eczema and just about any soap sets my skin off! This brand though without a doubt works for ANY part of your body without hassle. My suggestion, use a facecloth en lieu of the bar alone if you find it too 'rough'26/06/2019, By RuzanneIt's very rough and "sharp" (if I can call it that) . I can't use this as is and need a loofah, else it litteraly scratches my skin raw open.
I generally love exfoliation and a good scrub a lot, but this is a bit too much and it hurts.
The smell is gentle and refreshing though, I won't fault that.20/06/2019, By DeanneBecoming my regular order. It is definitely worth ordering the big bar and I have not started placing it on the coconut husk soap holder and it lasts much longer.03/06/2019, By DeeAbsolutely love this and don't think I will be able to go back to regular soap or body wash. It was quite rough at the start as mentioned but you become used to it and you feel absolutely squeaky clean. Just don't get it in your eyes - it burns :)31/05/2019, By ElmiThis is my new best favorite. Never thought a little black soap can feel and clean so well.29/05/2019, By Marce'This soap is fantastic. Soft and gentle on your skin. The Tea tree oil gives you moisturising feeling afterwards. I'll stick to this soap for life29/05/2019, By Josias JacobusWhen you thought sliced bread was lekker, you got it wrong. The “Kalyan Bamboo Charcoal Soap with Tea Tree” is it!
Gives one such a lively feel when you done with your bath or shower.24/05/2019, By JTo paraphrase Sheldon Cooper: "Kalyan Bamboo Charcoal Soap...for the win."
It smells fresh, cleans well, and I even use it as a face wash for my oily skin. The best soap I've purchased on FTN.22/05/2019, By MiaI haven't been using this for very long, but I'm really liking it so far. I don't even have to use my loofah because it exfoliates as well! Love that it's plastic free too!!20/05/2019, By InaThis soap is great and has a soft smell to it. Absolutley love it and will not be buying any other soap.16/05/2019, By FranThis became a family favorite for my young one's. They love it!02/05/2019, By ShauneIt smells amazing and is a gentle body scrub.Love that it's all natural.20/04/2019, By DenonaBought this for a friend who has sensitive skin and suffers from breakouts, she loves it! Will need to buy one to test it out!15/04/2019, By TraceyLovely! Fresh fragrance, exfoliating and gentle in skin. Will keep ordering14/04/2019, By AndreaI have sensitive skin and I am allergic to a lot of chemicals plus I am into plastic. I have used other charcoal soaps which have been quite harsh on my skin, not to mention that their granules are quite rough even though I would lather the bar between my hands or with a cloth. However, this charcoal bar is soft and leaves my skin pretty clean.09/04/2019, By CindyI have very sensitive skin, and this dried out my skin completely. Would not recommend for daily use09/04/2019, By ManinieI'm revising my previous review on this bad boy. First time around, my skin didnt respond well and I found it too rough. This time around, 1 week in and my skin is smiling!09/04/2019, By TeniqueWanted to use it for a while before I reviewed it.
It DEFINITELY made a difference - especially my blackheads!
It does dry out your skin a bit so I prefer to use this in my evening routine so that I can use a little more moisturizer. Very happy.02/04/2019, By SheridonEffective for exfoliating and for blackheads. Can be abrasive, wouldn't use for very sensitive skin or active acne. I like that it doesn't come in plastic packaging and it's lasted for months of bi-weekly use.30/03/2019, By AnriThe only soap I use. I really enjoy the exfoliation texture and its very gentle on my skin.25/03/2019, By KathrynGreat soap, value for money! and no plastic packaging like most other soaps on the market!23/03/2019, By AlexandraThis soap is fabulous. My hubby even loves this soap. The granules are a bit coarse but it actually cleans and reduces my pores.
Only downside to this soap is that it is small so it does not last the month :(
21/03/2019, By JessIt’s a great soap but very coarse granules can hurt delicate skin. I enjoy it but wouldn’t use it on my kids. Great exfoliator!20/03/2019, By Marissafavourite brand of soap, reasonably priced, works well, local and biodegradable packaging. Thanks!18/03/2019, By BronwynThis soap is amazing, I love that it draws out toxins and how clean my skin feels afterwards. It is a gritty, course exfoliant which suits me but maybe not for someone with a very sensitive skin. Will be purchasing again.18/03/2019, By SelaeloI have been using it for a week. It cleans really well. I use it on my face and so far so good.18/03/2019, By susanthis soap is so good. I like the scent and the fact that you can use it on your face and the whole body. This is my first time to use it, but already enjoying it. I cant wait to see the results.18/03/2019, By AnitaBest natural soap, we have been using this product for a long time! Great texture and smell. Always in my basket with every FtN shop.18/03/2019, By Nikki BThe soap bar itself has a rough consistency and if u wanted to use it as a scrub (like u wiuld a pumice stone), that would be possible. Smells great18/03/2019, By AbigailCleans really well. Seems rough at first but obe adjusts. However, I found would get a bit too drying for my sensitive dry skin condition so I’ve been using other soaps and just put some of this with my finger onto blemishes and it really helps clear and heal spots etc quicker.18/03/2019, By CarolineI try other natural soaps, but keep coming back to this one. I love that this soap comes plastic-free, and contains both activated charcoal (from bamboo!) and tea tree oil. It exfoliates nicely, lathers wonderfully AND holds well (it doesn't get too mushy). It also has a nice price! What more could you ask for??18/03/2019, By AbbyI use this soap as an exfoliator on my face and body and I love it.15/03/2019, By BELINDAI love it, makes me feel fresh, love the faint tea tree oil smell not too much & it’s got lasting power15/03/2019, By PeedhoIt cleans very well. I cannot use it every day however because I have dry skin, it strips away alot of oils. it smells great and lathers well13/03/2019, By GaitsiweLove this soap. Makes my skin feel smooth and has an impressive scrub effect. Recommended!05/03/2019, By Nondyebohasn't really removed my acne but it has left my skin soft and great, also removes black heads04/03/2019, By KeriI love this, a small amount lathers so well, the little lumps breaking up into a soft lather. Smells great and makes my skin feel so good.03/03/2019, By ClaudiaWonderful smelling soap which lathers nicely and leaves you feeling squeaky clean! I tried it on my face as others suggested, but it does strip away all the natural oils and left my face very dry. I won't use it on my face any more but definitely will order it again.02/03/2019, By CarikaI want to review and rate this over and over again! Such a great soap, I use it weekly, it cleanses my skin (and face & neck area) great after a long day of wearing make up and sunblock. Simply can't be without it.01/03/2019, By AasifI prefer the Angel factory one. This one works well but is a bit scratchy.28/02/2019, By SamI bought a small bar of soap because I heard charcoal was good for your skin. My husband was somewhat skeptical but after using it for the first time, we both were upset we hadn't bought a larger bar! The soap makes your skin feel smooth and healthy and I ended up buying more of the larger bars the next month! Definitely a must have!22/02/2019, By MelissaBest soap ever. Does not dry like most soaps and love the graininess if you rub the soap against your skin.22/02/2019, By NickyThis is the best soap I've ever used. Lathers nicely, exfoliates, detoxes and cleans well. Stopped all skin breakouts very quickly too....Highly recommended.
I wish it would come in a jumbo size though, it uses up quite quickly :-) Never thought I'd feel this enthusiastic about soap!!!22/02/2019, By JennaVery cleansing and lathers up lovely but be very careful on softer areas of skin - every now & gain you get a rather sharp piece & it can break your skin - it is fantastic however for your feet and rubbed onto a sponge it is fantastic.21/02/2019, By MelissaAs someone who struggles with sweat and leads a fairly active lifestyle. I love this product - I often use it for underarms and feet then combine with another soap for other areas.21/02/2019, By TanyaGreat shop really exfoliates your skin and helps with breakouts. It does dry out your skin a little21/02/2019, By ElineFantastic soap, love everything about it - it lathers well, smells clean, and have only good ingredients. The exfoliating factor takes some getting use to, but it's quite nice actually.
However it uses up rather quickly!21/02/2019, By CindyI like it: I enjoy the exfoliating aspect of it and it lathers really nicely, but my husband & kids don't like the feel of it at all.21/02/2019, By LelanieThis soap works very well for exfoliating and leaves your skin soft and smooth afterwards, but does not dry it out.21/02/2019, By MonikaLove this soap, lathers nicely, works wonderfully as a gentle exfoliator. I have fairly sensitive skin, so far have had no issues using on face as well as body. Love the Tea tree fragrance as well as all it's healing properties for the skin.21/02/2019, By AntheaI love the soap. It does use up quite quickly but then again I like to lather up21/02/2019, By CandAmazing soap - great exfoliator, long lasting and smells great. Skin feels clean and moisturised after use. Love it!21/02/2019, By ReneI would not recommend this to someone who has sensitive skin, as it is quite a rough soap. Having said that, it is a great exfoliater!21/02/2019, By MimiThis soap isnt suitable for those with very sensitive skin (particularly on the face). However, I will award it for being a great body exfoliator!! I love using in on those areas prone to darkening e.g armpits, elbows.21/02/2019, By VialliI love the smell and how the charcoal exfoliate my body. It leaves my body moisturized and very clean.
I also love that it lasts long .21/02/2019, By MelissaLOVE THIS! Definitely a must try, its exfoliating and moisturising all in one. great for all skin conditions, leave it on for a few minutes.21/02/2019, By KellyI have tried most of the Kalyan range and love them all. We have very brackish water and this still manages a great rich lather & you feel squeaky clean after using it - LOVE!21/02/2019, By ToniGreat product! It makes a very rich lather with just a tiny bit. The exfoliant bits are a bit sharp, but as I tend to sometimes over-scrub my face this actually helps as it forces me to be gentler, but this might be a problem for someone with very sensitive skin. The soap itself is very soothing though and it doesn't leave your face feeling stripped after a wash.21/02/2019, By SizweLet me tell you outright, this soap is really good. It fixed my skin irritation issues within a week and it really works. I love the natural smell and the fact that the grey water is super safe for irrigation. On thing I don't like is the fact that it is small in size.21/02/2019, By MaryThis soap leaves your skin feeling soft not depleted. I'm a charcoal fan so that part does it for me - no more itchy dry skin. Thanks21/02/2019, By HeatherThe exfoliating bits are a bit harsh so I only used once or twice a week. I think it did help a bit with curbing all my eczema though.21/02/2019, By SuletI love how it smells, the Tea Tree oil is great.
A little bit goes a long way, and I will definitely be using it again in the future.
21/02/2019, By NatzLOVE LOVE LOVE, I did not know it has granules so you are able to exfoliate with just washing with the soap itself.
It might feel a little harsh depending on your skin sensitivity, so just be gentle, I loved it.21/02/2019, By DuneThis is the best soap I have ever used. Being vegan it is difficult to find good quality soaps. This soap has certainly ended my search for vegan soap! The Bamboo Charcoal soap is refreshing, invigorating and great for exfoliation. I am hooked!21/02/2019, By Kaylah
This is great- helps a lot with body odour. The harsh particles are a bit difficult to deal with so I cannot use the bar directly on my skin but on a washcloth or sponge it's great. it does leave my skin a bit dry, but extremely clean and after using it for a while now, I have gone completely roll-on free. I wish the harsh beads were a little less so that i can lather the bar all over my body. Works well as a face wash too.
21/02/2019, By Jo HGreat soap, my husband likes it. He uses it for his face, body and hair.21/02/2019, By ElsabeSmells good. Lathers well in spite of the very sharp hard pieces of charcoal in it. It is too rough and spiky for my sensitive skin and actually pierced my skin. It can leave your skin quite dry.21/02/2019, By CandiceThe bits of charcoal can be quite sharp, so this bar of soap has ended up becoming more of a 'exfoliator' than a bar of soap I would rub over my body. However, it's really great for exfoliating tough dry skin on elbows and feet. Love it for that.
I tend to find it leaves my skin a bit dry if I use it on my face though, but I do have drier skin.21/02/2019, By SandiThis soap bar is ultra moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling smooth and smelling great! I no longer require body creams as this soap bar fully nourishes my skin!21/02/2019, By WBSuch a nice soap, love the fine charcoal bit that add a bit of texture to the soap. It smells great and works well. Best of all my fiance it too ;)21/02/2019, By Dalen FamilyFantastic product. The whole family now uses it as both a body wash as well as a shampoo.
Great smell, great cleansing.21/02/2019, By ChristelleThe best exfoliating soap I have ever used to contain my arm and leg Seborrheic keratosis. Highly recommended !21/02/2019, By PriyaI will never buy another brand of soap again. Love the charcoal effect, leaves your skin feeling so fresh, with a glowing effect. Good for acne prone skin.13/02/2019, By EmmaReally like this brand, all their variations of soap are good. This one is no exception.06/02/2019, By HeikeLove this soap! Leaves my face feeling wonderfully clean, without drying it out. Lasts a long time - such brilliant value for an excellent product!06/02/2019, By HannaThis is a great soap. It can be scratchy but as we use sponges it doesn't bother. I have used this for my faceas well as my body and shave with it as well. It foams very well and a little does go a long way
