Consumer: Acne sufferers

The purpose of the Dead Sea Acne Soap is to clean the face with a soap that will help to keep new blemishes from forming.

Pros: Dead Sea Acne Soap has several ingredients other than the Dead Sea minerals of magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Dead Sea Acne Soap also contains palm and palm kernel oil, as well as glycerin, aloe vera, Dead Sea black mud, and olive oil.

The Dead Sea Cosmetics website says of Dead Sea Acne Soap, "Based on Dead Sea minerals, Jericho Acne Soap is uniquely formulated for treating acne. This soap facilitates the drying up of acne blemishes, helps the skin heal, and prevents new blemishes from forming by removing unwanted dirt and oil. Jericho Acne Soap contains natural oils that moisturize the skin without leaving it oily."

The idea that the Dead Sea Acne Soap can actually prevent new acne eruptions is amazing and certainly cutting-edge science. We have always known that the waters of the Dead Sea were excellent for treating many human ailments, but the idea of prevention is new.

Cons: The Dead Sea Acne Soap actually adds oil (palm, olive, and palm kernel) to the skin. The manufacturer says that these oils do not contribute to acne outbreaks, however.

Guarantee: There is a limited guarantee of satisfaction that states in part, "The warranty applies based on current statutory provisions. Additional information about manufacturer's warranties can be found on the product pages or in the product manuals."

Value for money: The Dead Sea Acne Soap seems to be an excellent value for those who suffer from acne outbreaks. At only $6.00, it is among the least expensive of acne treatments.
