Happy Friday! One of my favorite types of products to try out is bar soap. In fact, you may have seen me feature some awesome bar soaps in my monthly favorites posts! I just love testing out new brands and scents, so when I got the opportunity to review the Natural Dead Sea Mud Soap from Adovia, I couldn’t wait to give it a try! Let me tell you more about this soap, and share my experience with you.

The Adovia Natural Dead Sea Mud Soap is a soap enriched with century old Dead Sea mud that infuses your skin with minerals to keep it hydrated while it cleanses at the same time. It can be used on your body and face, but should not be used to wash your eyes. I wanted to try this soap because it is advertised to be great for acne, and it’s all natural. In April, I got a nasty breakout along my jawline and on my upper back (sorry if this is a bit personal, but hey, we’re all friends here!) I was really hoping this Adovia soap would help clear up my breakout!

When I first got the soap, I loved the fresh and clean scent! It was strong during my first use, but died down significantly after that. I was so disappointed! However, if you don’t like strong smelling soaps, that might be a plus for you. I’ve used this bar of soap all up in the shower over a course of three weeks. I was really impressed that the soap lasted that long, as I usually use up a bar of soap in 1-2 weeks. I am happy to report that my back is clear of all the acne I had. My jawline, on the other hand, is still not 100% clear. I did see a small improvement, but my acne is definitely still there. That may be due to me using a lot of products, such as moisturizers, sunscreen, or makeup on my face, but I still would have liked that acne to disappear as well.

All in all, I did like the Adovia Natural Dead Sea Mud Soap. I like using an all natural product, and I’m glad it cleared up the acne on my back. I do wish that the clean scent was stronger, and lasted for the entire use of the bar of soap. If you are looking for a gentle soap that will help with your acne, I do recommend this, but know that it is a little bit of a splurge at $16.00 retail. This is a good product to keep on hand for when you suffer an acne breakout, but maybe not for every day use. You can purchase the Advoia soap on Amazon HERE. Let me know if you’ve ever tried a specialty soap for acne in the comments!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
