Volcanic soap from acne
Relatively recently began an active advertisement of cosmetic soap with volcanic ash or clay as an active ingredient. Also in the product there are natural oils (olive, coconut or palm and others), microelements, aloe vera extract.
Among the advantages of volcanic soap is worth noting:
- good cleaning of pores;
- drying of inflammation;

Black and tar soap from acne
When it comes to black soap, there can be implied 3 types of cosmetics:
- soap with activated carbon (Natura Siberica);
- African soap (Nubian Heritage, Dudu-Osun);
- mud soap (Naomi).
All these varieties of the product are based on vegetable care oils, usually - karite, coconut, almond, palm, additionally contain natural herbal extracts.
Unusual coloring of soap is given by activated charcoal, ash, black clay and therapeutic mud. These ingredients serve as a sorbent, effectively absorbing excess sebum and cleaning even heavily clogged pores.
Black soap can be safely recommended for the care of problematic skin, but only as a supporting agent, allowing to dry inflammations, detoxify.
Cosmetic products with the addition of tar are considered the best option for purification of the epidermis. This soap, in addition to the standard set of beneficial effects of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and drying, helps to cope with demodicosis.
Tar causes paralyzing the digestive system of ticks, which causes them to die within a short time, without the ability to reproduce. Moreover, it penetrates directly into the hair follicles, where microorganisms live.
Borello and sulfur soap from acne
If you choose between the two specified types of cosmetic products, sulfuric soap handles better acne. Its active ingredient has a powerful antibacterial effect, effectively and quickly suppresses even subcutaneous inflammation. In addition, sulfur, like tar, struggles with demodicosis, which is the cause of acne in 80% of cases.
The boric soap acts softer and, accordingly, slower. It also badly dries pimples, reduces irritation and redness, reduces the intensity of the inflammatory process. However, the products with boric acid are more recommended for controlling the fatness of the skin and eliminating "black spots", for medium and severe acne these products are useless.
Baby and other soap from acne
In different sources, you can find a lot of recipes for the treatment of acne on the basis of child, economic, salt and other types of soap. Do not use them categorically.
Even very oily problem skin will react negatively to such care in the form of increased rashes, irritation, flaking and redness. It is better to choose one of the previously considered natural products, or even give up soap, get a soft foam or gel for washing.
