I've had problems with my complexion since I was a teen. A few years ago I found the best cleanser I had ever used. It's called Alaffia African Black Soap. It's quite concentrated, so can be diluted with water. The stuff is amazing and very affordable 'cause one bottle lasts for months. It's important to stick with Alaffia, though, or possibly Nubian Heritage Black Soap. Some other brands are wonky...fillers and such.
