This soap uses tea tree oil, as well as other stuff to fighter germs and fungus. Generally, using soaps with chemical antiseptics is not a good thing for daily use.

I admit I don't think this soap gets rid of BO as well as the Deodorant soaps do, but it does work much better on itchy toes.

What's nice is that some tea tree products have a overwhelming scent, and this doesn't.

The first time I had a skin infection and was on long-term anti-biotics I also got opportunistic fungal infections. Those were not getting taken care of by standard prescription-level ointments and cream, which was worrying as I was nowhere near close to the end of my anti-biotics. Searching for a way to help get rid of the fungus I ran across the Defense products and decided that since they were made to help stop the spread of some pretty nasty diseases of the skin in MMA, it was worth a try. Within two weeks the fungal infections were on the retreat after using the soap along with an antiseptic wash (which was for the bacterial infection and did nothing against the fungal infection). Once the fungal infection had been abated in two more weeks I went on to use Defense soap and gel with my other shower items. After I got over the first skin infection and had it recur, I used the Defense products and got no fungal infections on the second long course of anti-biotics.

Now I've switched over to the Defense soap and gel (which I use for my hair). After 3 years of use, these products have proven to be effective for what they are: a means of defense against catching and spreading fungal infections. Used alone they help in their prevention, as my second course of anti-biotics demonstrated. While normally allergic to standard fragrances, I have found no allergic reaction to those involved with the soap and gel. The doctor who treated me is an infectious disease specialist and has recommended this product to other patients also on anti-biotic use with good results.

In all a good and well made product.

I bought this soap after hearing Joe Rogan praise it on his pod cast several times. To be fair I'm not sure if it works or not... I think this soap may be more effective in using it as a preventative measure after workouts/heavy sweating. I already had a skin infection on both my feet when I bought this so the infection may have been to involved by the time I used this soap. Overall, It seems like a good soap, but a bit on the high side for me. From what I understand the soap is only suppose to kill the "bad bacteria's" on your skin and not the "good bacteria's" which the typical Anti-bacterial soaps (Dial) kills nearly all bacteria. Doesn't smell like typical soaps with frangrance, but does NOT smell bad! Hope this helps!

I have had ringworm for the past 3 weeks and have been miserable with them i bought this soap and used it along with other treatment such as vineagar and ointment my ringworm cleared up within a week!

We use this soap throughout wrestling season, and it has great lather, a very pleasant smell, and works great for fending off skin problems associated with wrestling!

I initially bought this soap for my son who is a wrestler to help prevent him from catching anything nasty while wrestling. I tried out a bar first for myself just to make sure it wasn't harmful or irritating to the skin. At the time I started using it I had a small patch of psoriasis on my hand and another spot on one of my elbows that wouldn't go away no matter what I tried, including prescription remedies. After a few days of using this, the psoriasis started going away. I ordered more bars and after a few weeks the patches were gone completely! My oldest daughter had some bad acne on her face and she used a bar of defense soap and it cleared up about 85% of the acne. One of my other daughters got a small patch of psoriasis on her cheek, and we use the defense wipes and essential oils and healing salve and it cleared that up in a matter of days! My whole family now uses defense soap and will never use anything else.

After using the product, I noticed my skin was immediately dried out. That feeling only lasted a few minutes to an hour after my shower. The soap lathers nicely and smells fine.

In regards to ring worm, the soap wont clear up ring worm, but it definitely prevents it from spreading. If you want your ringworm to go away, get Lotrimin or some other over the counter stuff.

I like this product, but think bar soap is a thing of the past. I think the liquid is much better. I guess it's a matter of taste. But the soap itself is awesome.

It is less strong and as effective (if not more so) than the wipes; however, I don't believe that it works for fungal problems. I can tell when I have too much sugar/yeast in my body from my underarms (urine also) and thought this would help in addition to supplements. I tested this without the supplements, and it does work very little, but not enough for me. I usually use Irish Spring or Ivory with a little white vinegar and that works very well. I guess when something works, you should keep using it.
