Is it true that washing your face with arabic soap (saboun 3arabe) helps with acne breakouts? If yes, how so?
Feb 2, 2018

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Arabic soap is based on olive oil, known for its anti-oxidant (render the skin softer, acne heals faster when the skin is moist as opposed to dry skin), anti-bacterial (prevent acne from becoming worse due to bacteria infections), and anti-inflammatory (prevents acne from becoming infectious) properties, which are all helpful in clearing acne and maintaining a healthy skin. It is also purely vegetable soap, free from substances that irritate and dry the skin, such as sulfur and sodium lauryth sulfate, which aggravates acne, delays healing, and promotes scar formation after healing.
