Noble FormulaZinc Bar Soap, Olive Oil and Argan Oil 2% Pyrithione Zinc (ZnP) for All Skin Types Including Those With Acne, Psoriasis and Eczema, 3.25 oz

I agree with a lot of the other reviews that this has helped immensely with my perioral dermatitis. I’ve struggled with PD for nearly 10 years. And since moving to CA, it’s gotten worse. Not sure why. I’ve tried everything under the sun: changing my diet, using nothing on my face, using recommended products on my face — none of it worked. I *think* my PD is hormone and alcohol related, but who’s to say? Anyway, I noticed that my PD really started to turn a corner once I began using this soap. I typically use it once in the morning and once at night before bed. I leave it on for 1-2 minutes, depending on how my skin is feeling that day (1, if my skin feels happier, and 2 if my skin feels like it wants to break out). My PD is located mainly on my chin, above my upper lip, and a bit around my nose. I only apply the soap to these areas — not to my entire face. That might work well for others, but I only apply it to the area affected by PD. I quickly run the bar under water for a second, turn the water off, “lather a bit” onto my fingers (the bar has a rougher texture and doesn’t feel great when rubbed directly onto my way, and using my fingers is easy and gentle), apply it to my chin/nose area, and let it set. Then I thoroughly rinse it off, and after that, I wash the rest of my face with a washcloth and water. I think this soap can be a bit drying when used alone, so I pair it with La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast Baume B5 and a little bit of The Ordinary’s Squalane (which were other PD recs I’ve found), and that’s worked nicel. In short, 1) [zinc soap] clean/clear the PD area, 2) [cream and squalane] moisturize the area without clogging my pores. As a side note, the bar is smaller, BUT I use so little each time that the bar will likely last another year. Like I said, I use it twice daily and have barely made a dent in it (just make sure to set it on a soap dish that lets it breath and dry out... instead of keeping it in the shower in a puddle/moisture. Mine hasn’t gotten soggy at all). Hope it helps you too!

This soap lasts literally forever, probably well over 6 months. It cleans well, and there’s a lot of particles in it which can be rough but are good for exfoliating

Like others reviewers, this was suggested to me by Curology for body acne.Thoughts:- I got the super basic plain version that doesn’t have emu in it. I dodged the mango, cause while that sounds more pleasant, it also has cocoa butter in it which def breaks me out.- Does it stink? Yes. Absolutely. I can’t even describe what the scent is, other than “ew.” Putting it near my face is very unpleasant. BUT the scent doesn’t linger on my skin afterward.- Does it get slimy? Also yes. It has a very strange and disconcerting snotty film when wet. It’s icky. But the sliminess isn’t a killer for me cause I use snail goo on my face on the daily.- I took the advice of other reviewers and keep it well out of wet areas between each use. It seems to be lasting a reasonable time frame and not melting into nothing.- It’s a bit drying. My skin feels very tight after using it, so I have upped the moisture in my routine.- It absolutely is brutal if you get it in your eyes. “Why would you ever do that?” you say! Well, not on purpose, obviously. Take it as a cautionary tale so you don’t rub your eyes with sudsy remnants on your hand. You will have regrets.- Because it’s natural, it doesn’t satisfactorily suds up like other soaps. You have to really work for a lather. It’ll come, but very feebly and only grudgingly.- Now the kicker. Did it help my acne? Well…no. Not yet. But it also hasn’t made it worse. I’ll use it until it runs out to see whether it eventually makes my skin gloriously smooth. To be continued.

I took a chance on this soap after having a reaction to cetaphil soap. I have very sensitive skin (acne prone, eczema triggered by many ingredients, seborrheic dermatitis), and this soap not only calms my skin conditions, it leaves my skin softer than it has ever been in my whole entire life. And it's vegan? Round of applause. Great suds when used with a washcloth or loofah, cleans well, doesn't smell weird or have fragrance. It's more than I'd like to spend on soap, but it's better than skin flares. Will continue to purchase.

Easy on the skin. Very good.

It seems to help a bit with small bumps around my hairline and on my forehead (which is oiler than the rest of my face). However, in other areas of skin, it sometimes causes flaking and mild irritation. Perhaps it's only good for oilier parts of my skin?Regardless, it always leaves a horrible waxy feeling residue on my skin that I can't stand. I always need to follow use of this with a gentle liquid facial soap on a washcloth to remove the residue.Honestly, it hasn't made enough of a difference for me to justify repurchasing it, especially considering these issues. You might be better off spending your money on different skincare products, but everyone's different!

i have been battling severe eczema for several years, to the point that i’ve had to eliminate all skincare products, makeup, etc., due to severe skin allergies. probably due to the lack of skincare products, i’ve developed sebhorreic dermatitis on my face that has been AWFUL. fast forward to a few weeks ago when i got so fed up with it that i started researching facial cleansers for SD that don’t contain any potential allergens. i couldn’t believe it when i found this soap. i was so excited to try it, although very skeptical. much to my amazement it did not make my skin red or itchy at all. in fact, after the first use i could not believe how NOT red my skin was. it’s been several days and i have been using it daily and my skin is soft, smooth and absolutely glowing. i can’t believe how well this works! i still have a few patches that need to clear up but literally with one use i saw a huge improvement. AMAZING product!

seems to be a good face soap. the biggest thing i noticed is that one small bar, used every day, seems to last forever! so it's a good value, for sure.
