This soap I have by chance discovered with us in health food stores - but with less laurel oil content. So I came across this Najel Aleppo soap at Amazon with 40% laurel oil and was impressed by the many good reviews. This soap has worked wonders with my daughter (15) and me - we use it for the face wash. A long been unsuccessfully treated face fungus my daughter is completely gone, her skin is smooth and soft and also pimples have little chance. Blackheads disappear almost completely after some time. Of course, the soap must use for some time. For me, the oily facial skin has become a lot less oily shiny skin, blackheads disappear almost completely with me and even small pimples to dry off quickly. The skin is completely smooth and not stretched after washing. This soap I've often recommended - are all enthusiastic. All other washing lotions are gone from our company. Also for the body skin this soap is simply great. For hygienic reasons, we have cut the soap before use in 4 parts and always use each only one piece at a time. (Diving knife in hot water and then cut - works great then wrap the parts for mounting in greaseproof paper and store in linen closet.). The smell is getting used to at first, but fades after face wash immediately. The soap should be kept for use on a soap dish, which ensures that the soap can dry completely, so that no germs can put it. Tip: To use anfreuten hands, then dry rub soap into hands and then apply the soap from the hands to the face. This soap never completely soaked through. The soap initially only briefly on the face - after a habituation can also remain as a mask for up to 3 minutes on the face and only then washed off. Just try it.
