5.0 out of 5 stars Helps with keratosis pilaris & acne, April 9, 2008

I use this soap daily in the shower, and it has significantly improved the keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and has started to eliminate body acne while leaving my skin soft and smooth. At the end of the first week, it had already reduced the KP on my arms by almost 25%. The reason this soap knocks out KP and early blemishes is that sulfur is a keratolytic, meaning it softens keratin. Keratin is a fibrous protein (the hard, waxy plug) that clogs pores, both in acne and KP.

Another reviewer on a different page said that this soap smells terrible. I personally think the scent is very mild and non-bothersome; it hardly smells like sulfur at all. People who have tried the gamut of acne treatments shouldn't have any problem with its scent -- just don't go in expecting it to smell like Herbal Essences.

The soap is a yellowy-beige color and feels slightly grainy during use. It makes a thin bubbly lather and washes off easily. Shop around for the best price -- I found mine both online and in a local health food store for less than it sells on Amazon. Recommended for people who want more control over their body's hyperkeratinization.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, smooth skin..., August 2, 2008

I purchased this because I have fair, oily, acne-prone skin. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

I use it every day, once a day in the shower. The instructions say to use it twice a day, however.

The few blackheads I had, on my nose are gone and my face is nice, smooth and acne free.

It does smell like sulfur though. It's not too overpowering, but even after I get out of the shower I can smell it. The smell does go away though. I usually use my body wash after I use the soap, that way I can cancel out the sulfur scent.

The smell, notwithstanding, it's a great acne soap and I will repurchase.

This review is from: Thylox Medicated Soap - 3.25 oz. - Bar (Health and Beauty)

i was at the point where i really didn't think anything would work. i have incredibly sensitive skin and i am extremely allergic to everything. this product not only cleared up my acne it also cleared up the blackheads, completely. i have to caution that this soap is drying but after a week or two my skin adapted and is no longer dry (i can't use moisturizers because i'm allergic). i strongly suggest this product.
