Sulfur & Tar Natural Soap YAKA

I liked the soap; it works slowly but surely. I have a tough case to deal with. I'm also thinking about trying it to wash my hair.

It really dries out the skin. I can't assess its effectiveness because I couldn't use it more than three times.

I'm absolutely thrilled! This soap is magical! I have skin that's prone to breakouts, and this soap works wonders. It leaves my skin smooth, and although the scent is strong at first, you get used to it and it actually smells quite nice.

This is a great medicinal soap. I bought it to treat my cat, and it worked very well. Every household should have soap like this!

I can't praise this soap enough! I've been buying it for at least 10 years now. Over the years, it has saved my entire family and many of my friends from issues like thrush, fungal infections, demodicosis, dandruff and seborrhea, and skin breakouts. It's truly magical. Just wet the soap, lather it on the problem area, leave it on for a bit, and then rinse it off... it really works!

The scent is definitely like tar soap, which isn't great, but I liked it overall. The downside is that it leaves residue everywhere, no matter where you put it.

I really liked the soap. The scent is quite tolerable. It cleans the skin very well without drying it out. I've been using it for two weeks, and it still looks almost new, so it's economical.

I'm satisfied with the soap. It has a unique smell and color when lathered in my hands. It does dry out my skin, but I'm using it to treat demodicosis, so I was prepared for that.

Makeup, you should consider offering some bonuses for reviews on verified purchases!

I really liked the soap. I bought it for its medicinal properties, and it works exactly as intended. It effectively dries and reduces inflammation, fulfilling its purpose perfectly. However, the scent is quite strong and distinctive. It's best to keep the soap in a closed soap dish, as the entire bathroom can absorb the smell.

This soap is great. It doesn't dry out the skin. The only issue is the black marks it leaves on hands. The scent is fine and overall, I liked it.

This is a great soap that doesn't dry out the skin and has a tar-like scent. It helps reduce irritation. I usually use liquid soap, but I really liked this one.

I've been using this soap for several years and I'm very satisfied. The service is excellent as always. Thank you!

I've purchased this product for the second time. It relieves skin itching and helps prevent fungal infections. It makes me feel protected. To use it, lather your entire body and let it sit for about two minutes, then rinse off and follow up with your favorite scented shower gel.

I didn't like it; it's too harsh for a soap, feels like I'm washing my hands with a piece of wood.

I didn't like it at all; there's nothing good about it.

The soap is decent and lathers well, seeming to help with inflammation. It has a strong tar-like smell, but it's tolerable. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence or because of the soap, but the next day, for the first time in my life, I got a canker sore on my lip (which can sometimes happen with sulfur products).

The soap is great and cleans the skin well. The scent fades quickly. I'm satisfied with it.

Great soap. It lathers well even in hard water, and the scent is pleasant and fades quickly.

This facial soap is definitely not suitable for its intended purpose. It doesn't work well for problematic skin on the back either. I'm not sure who benefits from it—perhaps those who have never tried specialized gels or cleansers. It's essential to cleanse problematic skin gently without drying it out, but this soap is drying and caused my skin to worsen immediately. I switched back to my gel, and everything's fine now.

I initially bought this soap for washing hands—useful after being in a dirty environment when you want a thorough clean.

The smell doesn't bother me at all. Some reviews exaggerate it as if it's unbearably bad, but it's just a normal, natural scent that fades quickly.

However, one issue is that this tar soap tends to leak a lot of black liquid. It makes the soap dish messy, and if the dish has holes, it can make a mess beneath it too. I used to buy Russian soap (but decided not to due to the war), and I preferred it because it didn’t leak like this. Maybe this leakage indicates it's natural? I don't know, but it's definitely inconvenient.

This soap is great; it dries up everything that needs it. I was prepared for the scent, so I keep it in a tightly sealed container.

I liked the soap! I used it only for medicinal purposes (a minor rash on my back), and I saw results the very next day. I applied it once a day, in the evening. In my opinion, it's better not to use it daily as it can dry out the skin. The only downside is the smell!

I absolutely love this soap. I've been using it for five years. It dries out pimples really well and evens out skin tone. You can see results after just two uses. It's perfect for oily skin.

I really liked this soap. It cleans well without drying out my skin, leaving it smooth and pleasant to touch. There is a scent, but it's not too strong (for reference, the smell of Via Beauty masks bothers me much more). I read some reviews that mentioned it doesn't lather well, but I didn't have any issues with that. I'm satisfied with this soap and don't plan to switch to another one anytime soon. I recommend it for oily skin.

I know it's supposed to be beneficial and all that. After buying it, I haven't opened it yet; I just put it out on the balcony to air out because my whole apartment smells like that soap...))

The soap is just ordinary, nothing special, and it doesn't lather well.

The soap is fantastic! I bought it specifically for bathing my cat, who has allergic dermatitis with open sores on her skin. The vet recommended using tar soap as part of her treatment. We had been doing that until I stumbled upon sulfur-tar soap on the Makeup website and decided to give it a try. The results exceeded all expectations! Not only did her skin become clearer and free of sores, but her fur also turned soft and silky. We never achieved such an effect with regular tar soap! Additionally, the quality of the "Yaka" brand is significantly better than others we’ve tried. It was a pleasant surprise to receive a gift of sulfur soap with olive oil from the "Home Doctor" brand. The soap has a lovely bath soap scent and a creamy texture. It tightens the skin a bit after washing, but that feeling fades after a while. I have combination skin (oily/normal, prone to breakouts), and the soap worked well for me, so I’ll definitely order more, especially since the price is quite reasonable. The delivery was prompt! Thank you, Makeup, for the gift!

The soap is gentler than regular tar soap and doesn't dry out the skin as much. I tried it for the first time and liked it. The scent is initially strong, like a deterrent for cockroaches, but you get used to it quickly, and it fades away. I bought it a second time, and this time it smelled like rubber. I decided to try it anyway. To my surprise, it's not bad—I’ve already used half a bar. Maybe the scent varies for some reason, I’m not sure. But I’ll definitely be buying it again.

I really liked the effect.

This is a very good product for problem skin. If you have breakouts on your body, it will help, but don't expect results after just one or two uses. The scent is typical for birch tar, so it's unrealistic to expect a delicate fragrance. Out of all the "Yaka" soaps I've tried, this one is the best.

I liked the soap. I bought it at the pharmacy for 27, but here it's 33.

I happened to bring too little shampoo on a trip, so I decided to wash my hair with this soap first, then use the shampoo. The result was amazing hair!

I don't use it every day because the scent is strong, and there's no need to.

The soap is excellent both in terms of ingredients and price. It worked perfectly for my oily and problematic skin. Like any tar soap, it can be drying, so it's a good idea to have a moisturizer on hand. The scent is quite acceptable; based on reviews, I was expecting worse. Previously, I tried soap from Neva Cosmetics, but it didn't work out—it always left my face feeling greasy and not thoroughly cleansed. This soap cleanses the skin perfectly. As a pleasant bonus, my pores became less noticeable, along with the absence of acne. If you're also a "lucky" owner of oily/problematic skin, I recommend this soap.

This soap is like a gift from heaven! It's not suitable for washing your face, but it's perfect for the body, especially with its tar-like properties. I tend to get small pimples all over my body by the end of winter, and sometimes even on my backside. After just two uses, this soap dries them all out. I highly recommend it and will definitely buy it again!

Here's a polished translation of the review:

"This is a luxurious soap, but it leaves a lingering gray scent on the body. However, it's not a major issue."

I've been using this soap for a long time and haven't found anything better for myself! Special thanks to the store for the prompt delivery.

This product is really good for oily skin. Compared to a more expensive brand I used before, this soap is slightly less effective. I won't mention the brand since I couldn't find it on Makeup. The soap cleans well without making the skin feel tight. You'll notice the effect even during rinsing. As for the scent, believe me, there are much stronger ones out there. The soap I used before had an overwhelmingly strong smell, but it was also more effective. This soap doesn't lather as well, which is probably where it falls short compared to pricier brands. With oily skin, you have to lather up twice, so I took off one star for that. It has a brown color when lathered, but that's a minor issue as it washes off anyway. Overall, it's decent.

Can anyone advise how often this can be used? Will using it every day harm the facial skin in any way?

I've been using tar soap for a long time instead of various facial cleansers, and for oily skin, I haven't found anything better yet. It cleans effectively without drying or tightening the skin. It's better than my previous brand, Nevacosmetic, and I even like the scent.

Great soap! Yes, the scent is quite unique, but if you've used tar soap before, you'll find it acceptable—I expected it to smell worse. It cleans well, dries the skin just right, and reduces irritation. It's perfect for oily skin. Most importantly, it doesn't leave a greasy film like other similar products. The only downside is that it leaves a bit of color when lathered, but since that's easy to fix, it's not a significant drawback.

I am very satisfied. The scent is just okay, but it cleans amazingly well.

This soap is of excellent quality! I had a fungal skin infection, and after trying all sorts of ointments recommended by doctors, only this soap was able to cure it. I am very grateful to the manufacturers!

This soap has an unbearable odor. Absolutely unbearable. It helps with acne, but only for a short time—just while you're using it, and the effects last only a couple of days. You really need to use it continuously, day after day. I'm considering trying tar soap instead, as I think it might not smell as intensely bad—most of the strong odor comes from the sulfur.

The soap is great; I prefer it over tar soap. :)

The soap works great on breakouts. You get used to the smell, and I'm completely satisfied!

By the way, this is my second time ordering. I even got some for friends. Everyone likes it.

I keep this fragrant product in a closed jar. It effectively helps with irritation.

I discovered a huge and unexpected benefit.

My long-haired cat suddenly lost almost all of its fur. The vet prescribed an expensive treatment, which we started, but we only managed to do one of the required 14 injections. I decided to try bathing her with this soap. Within two weeks, her fur completely grew back. I bathed her with it a few more times.

Just to be safe, I even bathed my dog (a chow-chow with allergies) with it :)

I highly recommend it to everyone, even for preventative bathing of pets.

This is a good soap. I decided to try it as a replacement for regular tar soap. Overall, there's no noticeable difference. I'm giving it four stars for its good qualities, as Yaka consistently delivers great soap. I deducted one star because I didn't notice any effects from the sulfur.

I am absolutely thrilled with this soap. Both my husband and I really like it. It lathers well, and the foam feels creamy and soft to the touch. It effectively dries out blemishes and tightens pores without overly drying the skin. I've been using it for two weeks, and I noticed visible results after just one week. My blemishes have significantly reduced, and my pores have tightened. When I used other soaps, my forehead and nose would become oily and shiny within an hour. However, this soap leaves my skin with a matte finish all day long. It has helped regulate my skin's oil production. Now, my skin is hardly oily, and I've started using it every other day or once every two days. As for the scent, both my husband and I enjoy it, but it tends to fade from the soap after about 4-5 days. I will definitely be purchasing it again.

This is my second time ordering this product. Strangely enough, I really like the scent of the soap, especially as it becomes less intense. I use it daily to wash my face, and in the shower, I apply it to problem areas like my chest and back after using gel. It seems to me that acne and their marks are clearing up faster. I will definitely keep ordering it.

This soap effectively dries out pimples. The scent is quite strong, but I've gotten used to it. I use it to wash my face at night.

I liked the soap. It effectively dries out pimples and rinses off well. The scent isn't overwhelming, and the best part is that it's natural. I have a keen sense of smell and can't tolerate artificial fragrances, but this one is fine. It has a scent similar to what you might find in a subway or near trains, but more intense.
