*All statements about this product are based off my experience with using it.Pros:• Clears breaks outsCons:• Dries out skin• Can be irritating for sensitive skinI have been dealing with break outs since I was a pre-teen. I've tried many facial cleaners, including expensive name brand cleansers that have been recommended by a dermatologist. Nothing has been able to help my sensitive skin, and would only irritate and dry out my skin.My father researched the best skincare ingredients to combat breakouts, and he came across this facial bar.I've been using this facial bar for about 2 years and I have noticed a difference in my skin. My skin is clearer and my breakouts are not as severe. For stubborn pimples, I use Mighty Patch in conjunction with the soap to help get rid of it quicker, and it work wonders.One thing I would like to make note of: I have very sensitive skin. My cheeks are the most sensitive area of my face. This facial cleanser can be very drying. When I first used it, I could only use it twice a week because it would dry out my skin, and my cheeks were so sensitive that it would burn to use the cleanser or when I would apply moisturizer. Now I can use the cleanser everyday with no issues, but my skin still dries out, so I recommend using a moisturizer immediately after use.Another thing I like about this bar is that it lasts me about 2 months, with everyday use.Overall, I am very pleased with this facial cleanser bar. It helps keep my skin clear of breakouts, but when I do have breakouts, I use Mighty Patch along with the soap, and it helps get rid of it quicker. It can be very drying, so using a good moisturizer after use is what I recommend. I would recommend giving this bar a try, and I will continue buying it.

worked great! I have sensitive skin and no reactions. will buy again

Being a licensed hair stylist I was skeptical of a bar shampoo and not a name brand shampoo. My psoriasis is acting up and spreading even though I take meds for the psoriasis. I have a new look on shampoo bars. It has helped the areas that I had breakouts and they are slowly decreasing. Will be buying again.

I suffer from occasional Tinea Versicolor which is also known as Pityriasis Versicolor. Warm and humid weather and some spicy ingredients make them appear on my skin. Mostly they are scattered in random spots on or around my neck, shoulders, and/or arms. My dermatologist told me it will go away with the application of Ketoconazole cream 2% or certain anti-dandruff shampoos such as Selsun Blue (which has Selenium Sulfide) and Head & Shoulders Men Extra Strength (which contains a 2% Pyrithione Zinc). Both the shampoos and the Ketoconazole cream worked for this condition but I needed to leave them on for a while for a better result. The Ketoconazole cream stained some of my t-shirts and smelled a bit so I no longer used it. The Head & Shoulder discontinued its 2% zinc and replaced it with 1%. This Soap has the same active ingredient as the Head & Shoulder shampoo and I am using it every time in the shower instead of my regular soap and don't use anything else. It is my experience that since I can't leave the soap on my skin for as long as I could leave the other creams and shampoos since I can't get out soapy the result is slower in comparison. So when I could leave the shampoos and the cream for a day or two and repeated it for 2 to 3 times the Versicolor would go away. With this soap, however, I was using it for almost about a 2 to 3 weeks before the Versicolor disappeared. Now I am continuing to use it as my soap and have not had any issue with it and the Versicolor has not come back. The inactive ingredients in this soap also are not harmful or harsh so that's a plus as well. So I'd say if you are looking for a quick solution you better use something that you can leave on skin for an extended time, assuming your skin won't be sensitive to them. But if you want something to use for on a daily basis to gradually get rid of and maintain Versicolor free skin you can use this soap. For the best result scrub before using this soap to clear some dead skin before or even use it while you are scrubbing. Then try to leave it on as much as you can (e.g. when you have shampoos or conditioners on your hair that require you to leave it on for a couple of minutes) before washing it off.

I have seb derm on my face and this is the only soap that keeps my flakes under control, not even the medicated wash the doctor prescribed. Works best if you layer it and leave for 2 mins. It leaves your skin very dry but you can apply an Oil-control or light moisturizer to make it better, and only if your dermatitis can handle a moisturizer.
