Did not work for me

JB Charcoal Body Bar has its pros and cons and really depends on your skin type, fragrance preference, and exfoliation tolerance. For my skin type, I have fairly dry body skin with a fair bit of back and upper arm acne. The fragrance smells like your typical grocery store bar soaps. As far as exf...oliation, I hope you like the rough stuff as this thing is as rough as they come. The bar soap did not work out for me. The soap was too rough to rub on directly, it feels like sandpaper. So I choose to rub it on my hands and apply over the body. Over time, my body got used to rubbing the bar soap over the body but you really apply it gently. After application, your skin feels smooth, almost moisturizing. However, rinsing takes a minute to remove the soap. Afterwards my skin was dead dry, it literally removed all ounces of moisture from my body. The scent, while pleasant, I was expecting an All over Wash or Turbo Wash scent but that is not the case, it really is a generic bar soap smell. Finally, like many have pointed out, the design of the bar (massaging ball ends), did not last very long. I continued using this product because it was expensive to trash. Of note, my acne did not go away or diminish, in fact it got worst, I had to alternate my body wash and the bar soap to minimize breakouts. The soap did not work for me, I wanted a good exfoliating bar soap, with a manly scent that will diminish breakouts and keep my skin moisturized. This bar soap did non of those things for my skin however, it may work for you.
