First up, the African Black Soap Facial Cleansing Bar by Nubian Heritage ($5.97) meant to clarify acne-prone skin by removing bacteria, oil, and impurities. Key ingredients include aloe vera, oats, and vitamin E to combat inflammation, bacteria, and soothe irritations.

Next up, an exfoliating facial cleanser bar with a full range of acids in the likes of AHAs, BHAs, PHAs, along with niacinamide 2 per cent, and tea tree oil (10,000 PPM). Sounds pretty serious and hardcore? Yes, it is. There are three key benefits to the  Some By Mi Miracle Cleansing Bar ($14.51) – deep pore cleansing, brightening, and moisturising. According to users who have used it and left reviews, this soap bar clears up face and back acne pretty well – all without irritating or drying out the skin.

For those of you with acne-prone, sensitive skin, try this Transparent Soap Bar ($4.55) from Neutrogena which promises to clean your skin thoroughly of impurities and product residue – so you have a clean slate for your acne medications.

Here’s another option for those of you with sensitive skin types – the French skincare brand, Gallinée, has recently released a Perfume-Free Cleansing Bar ($19) that helps to support a natural and healthy microbiome (bacteria growth) on your skin. It’s suitable for your entire body from face, body, to your intimate area (gynaecologist tested!), and even for babies.

On a tight budget? Try Sephora’s in-house brand, Sephora Collection’s All-Over Face & Body Solid Cleanser ($10) which comes in four different variations – coconut milk to nourish the skin, charcoal to exfoliate the skin, cactus for hydration, and watermelon for a burst of sweet, smelling scent.

Finally, the Pekee Bar ($40) by the cult-loved skincare brand, Drunk Elephant. There are two key benefits of this soap bar – removing impurities and oils that may clog your pores, and balancing the skin. While the price looks steep at $40, just note that this soap bar comes in a massive 120g size and it dries up pretty well (doesn’t melt away).
