Noble Formula 2% Pyrithione Zinc Soap Bar with Emu Oil – Face, Body and Scalp Cleanser for Dry, Flaky, Red, Irritated, and Itchy Skin - No Palm Oil, Handmade in the USA – 3.25 oz

I have had this same bar for a year and I’m guessing it will last me another 6-12 months. I use it twice a day. I use this in conjunction with my own mixture of 1/2 castor oil 1/2 almond oil that I oil cleanse with before hand to loosen up any sebum or clogged pores. Then I go in with this to use the zinc as an acne treatment. Ever since using this combination— admittedly in conjunction with lactic acid, tretinoin, vitamin c, sunblock— my acne has disappeared. Finding this bar was the last step I added in in addition to all the other active mentioned and for me it made all the difference. All other cleansers were too harsh or too lotiony. I don’t react well to anything with fragrance, glycolic acid, or lactic acid. This zinc bar was what my acne needed and my acne was more under the skin, painful liquidy pimples. Not tiny fungal acne that this is commonly used to treat. So if nothing else has worked for you as far as cleaners give this a try- and for the love of God get yourself on a retinol.

My dermatologist recommended this. I use it as regular body soap, but it’s also the only soap I’d ever use on my face. Gentle, moisturizing, great for sensitive skin.

For the past 9 years I have had seborrheic dermatitis on my face. It began rather mildly, but over the years it had become quite severe, spreading from the usual "T" area of the eyebrows and nose until it gradually took over most of my face. In any given month I would be lucky to have 1 day with no signs of the redness or scales. I felt extremely self-conscious, especially at work where I am constantly interacting with other people. I mean, somebody's face is the first thing you see and mine had become a red, scaly, ugly mess. The usual steroidal gels and lotions were somewhat effective at keeping the scales to a minimum, but I had to apply them 5 or 6 times a day and the redness seemed unaffected by their use. It was constantly there, and each month it seemed it would spread to another part of my face. I had gone to several different dermatologists who all had the same story: I would have to use prescription medicines to keep it "under control" and I would ultimately have to learn to live with the symptoms. At first I listened to their advice. But after a while I began to experience depression over my condition and I knew I had to find something that would alleviate these symptoms or else I was in real danger of falling into severe clinical depression over my condition. I decided to IGNORE what my dermatologists told me and I began to try numerous kinds of shampoos, soaps, lotions, and home remedies. But no matter how many I tried, none of them worked for me. I began to think that maybe the dermatologists knew what they were talking about and I'd just have to come to grips with the fact that my face was destined to look ugly for the rest of my life. At long last I stumbled on Noble Formula on Amazon.com. I read some of the reviews and I began to have a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, this product might help me. I paid the $9.99 and had it delivered in two days with my Prime membership. I received the bar and used it the next day during my morning shower. Typically the way my dermatitis manifests itself is immedately after showering my skin looks OK - a little redness, but no scaliness. Then about 45 minutes after my shower the redness and scales appear in full force. But this day was different. No scales appeared at all, and the redness was more of a slight pink coloration. I was cautiously optimistic, but in the back of my mind I had a spark of excitement that I might have actually found something that works. I used the soap again the next morning. That day was truly one of the best days of my life. Not only did no scales appear anywhere on my face, but there was no redness or discoloration at all. None. Nowhere. It was completely gone! I used this soap 5 or 6 times in the course of the next week and my symptoms simply aren't there anymore. They have gone away completely and I have gotten back not only my healthy facial skin but also my self-esteem. I'm no longer embarrassed to talk to people because of my facial condition. This soap has been a LIFE-CHANGER for me and I mean that in all sincerity. If you have a serious case of Seb Derm and you've felt anything at all like I felt, I can't encourage you enough to try this product. I'm not guaranteeing that it will work for you (as apparently some of the other reviewers did not experience the same results I did). However, $10 is a small price to pay to try to get your life back. It worked for me and this has literally been the best $10 I have ever spent. ***SIX WEEK UPDATE*** Long story short: the soap stopped working after about four to five weeks and my Seb Derm is back in full force. While it worked, the soap was terrific. Looks like I built up some sort of "immunity" to whatever it contains that was doing the trick for me. Story of my life!

This soap was introduced to me by an acquaintance. I was telling her how I have acne all my life, and sometime it is worse than others. She told me about this soap. It’s now my holy grail. I’ve been using this for 3 and half months now. I’m proud to say I’m going to keep buying it. It is rather expensive for a bar of soap, but it does the trick. I actually cut the soap into 4 decent size pieces. You can try using a knife to cut it piece by piece. It does break sometime, but it doesn’t matter. I use the broken down piece. The reason why I say cut it into several pieces if because the soap does get slippery and it will keep falling off your hands. You need to use water and wait for the foam to start showing on your hands, wait for the “sticky” stuff to appear on your hands, and then put it onto your face. Leave it on for at least a minute for better results. I usually leave it on for about 3-5 minutes at least bare minimum Onwards to the results, you have to have patience with this soap. It does bring down your current acne a whole lot after a day. For instance, I had acne that were getting bigger and even had puss on it. Once I use the soap, it literally shrinks it and the puss comes out right away. It starts to heal and becomes smaller. If you use this consistently like I do everyday, it will eventually clear your skin off some more. Takes time. It’s not an overnight miracle but it does have some mini miracles. I use this twice a day. Once in the morning, once after I do my yoga work out in the middle of the afternoon. I do have to say that it does dry my face out, so I use a nice moisturizer afterwards. Best if you use sunscreen. I use the Sun Bum that has no break outs sunscreen. I also advise that you buy a soap box holder. Putting it in a plastic zip bag is ok but I prefer to put it in a soap box. I got one for 95 cents at Wal Mart. The reason why I say soap box is because the bag can stick to the soap when you put it in, and it will leave left over soap onto the plastic. If you have a soap box, you can scope up the left over soap and can still use it. It’ll be harder if it was stick onto a plastic zipper bag. Just my opinion. If you use the soap right, one bar of soap can last you 2-3 months depending on how you use it. My first bar lasted me for 2 and half months. I’m on my 2!d bar of soap right now and it’s holding off well. Like I said, I suggest cutting the soap into 3-4 pieces. They don’t have to be even but that makes your soap last longer. Each smaller piece, it lasted me about 2-3 weeks. That’s my two cents about this soap! ^_^
