This review is from: Maximum Strength Neem Oil Soap - 4 oz - Bar Soap (Health and Beauty)

I have been using this soap for about 6 weeks now. I bought this soap along with other Neem products to combat a scabies infestation. Neem does not kill scabies directly, it disrupts their hormone cycle and causes them to eventually die. It also does not kill eggs, so to use it for scabies, you would have to use it for several weeks. Frankly, I bought it to repair the damage from the prescription scabies medicines I was using. Those left my skin dry, raw, and extremely irritated. Additionally, I have mild acne, and dry skin also. First, understand that nothing is a miracle cure, and there is no cure for acne. Second, don't always listen to your dermatologist. I am in the medical field myself. If someone asks me about a product I don't know, I tell them I don't know, and then I research it myself. Someone told me of the benefits of Neem, so I researched it myself. I asked my dermatologist about it. He had not heard of it. Rather than saying, "I'll look into it and let you know my professional opinion," he summarily dismissed it as hooey, b/c it was a "natural" product. Many of the prescription meds out there are gotten from plants, so there is no reason to dismiss a product simply b/c you haven't heard of it. Anyway, third, the smell. The smell of the soap is not nearly as bad as the pure oil. Not by a long shot, and you do get used to it after a little while. It's best described as a mix of rancid garlic, mixed with rotten peanuts. As I said tho, it's not nearly as strong as the oil, and really doesn't smell that bad. Finally, how does it work? Excellent. One reviewer commented that it took longer to work than was expected. Yes, it is not a miracle that will cure you overnight. For me, it took about 3-4 weeks to truly start working. My acne has diminished greatly. I have only mild acne, so don't expect major results if you have bad acne. I also had several areas of dry, red, patchy skin on my upper arms. It took about a month, but these patches are now gone completely, and the redness is about 98% reduced. My skin is no longer as irritated and itchy as it was either. The bars last a long time too, generally 30 showers or so. I will now be using this as my regular soap. In summation, this is a great all around soap that will effectively treat a myriad of skin problems. Just don't expect a miracle cure, and you have to stick with it. If you do, you may just be amazed at the results.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT for problem skin, but smells like peanuts, September 15, 2009

This is all natural, with no funky fragrances, which is perfect for me because I'm very sensitive to perfume that is not natural (just going through the fabric softener isle at the store makes my stomach queasy). This soap smells like the natural smell of neem oil, which is a strong smell a little bit like peanuts.

If you think you can tolerate that, you will be very happy with the results. In two weeks, I noticed a big difference in the skin on my upper arms, which is where I often get red scaly patches, about the size of a half-dollar. This soap, combined with a good lotion really made a difference. I usually use a neem oil lotion at night and a shea butter lotion during the day, since the Shea butter smells a bit less strong.

I think it's really worth a try if you have problem skin. Each bar lasts a long time and you will get a lot of uses out of it as long as you don't leave it sitting in water. My toddler threw a bar in the toilet and it dissolved; I saw the label floating in the bowl and I knew.

Give it about two weeks to work-- it took about 10 days for me to notice any real difference, but it did happen.

Recommended.

This review is from: Maximum Strength Neem Oil Soap - 4 oz - Bar Soap (Health and Beauty)

I bought this soap to help combat rosacea, and so far I'm impressed with the results. The product is chemical free and does not dry, irritate, or sting my face as most other soaps do. The neem oil is reputed to kill the skin mites sometimes associated with rosacea, and based on the slight tickling/itching sensation over the area of the rash, it seems to be affecting something. This effect is obviously positive because the rash is gradually shrinking. The soap has an earthy (herbally?) smell, is generously sized, and lasts a long time. Highly recommended for general use and, in combination with neem shampoo, also very helpful in the treatment of rosacea.
