It works with a little patience 😁🙂

At first use there was a burning sting after rubbing it onto my face. So I started adding the shea by design vitamin E oil just before rubbing it on and that got rid of the burning sensation, also I use the soap every 3rd day because I have sensitive skin.
I can see some of my dark marks fading away slowly. As for the acne I still have some break outs as mine is partly hormonal but it is less than before, and after washing, it dries them out meaning I need to make sure that my skin is moistured enough,also because the soap dries out the face...
For me specifically, it just needs patience especially on the old scars but I definitely see a huge difference.
I am loving it.

Love this soap. I've bought from other suppliers before but they add all sorts of extra ingredients in it whereas the one from Shea by Design is all natural. I use it 3-4 times a week all over my body and it helps me exfoliate my dehydrated combination skin for a nice glow. My skin is a rough mess without it.
