3.0 out of 5 stars works well, March 1, 2007

By 

ncd (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews

I have a recurring condition called pityrosporum folliculitis, which is an overabundance of yeast in the pores. My oily skin is a great environment for yeast, which overdevelops and causes little bumps that look like small pimples that never come to a head (mainly on my forehead and temples but also on my chest and shoulders). They aren't really noticeable, but of course, I notice them. I've been on a cocktail of prescriptions from dermatologists, and this ZNP bar has been the most effective at keeping them at bay without paying a ton of money for prescriptions. I agree with the above that it's a little harsh for more than once a day use. I found that it works well in combination with something less harsh (I've been using the Clinique foaming cleanser in the morning and the ZNP bar at night, which really cleared my face well. Wearing make up during the day actually seemed to help...all I can think of was that it served as a buffer and kept the ZNP bar from drying my face out too much.). I'm not a professional, but as a lifelong sufferer of bad skin, that's my opinion. I'm glad that I found these on here, 'cause I thought I'd have to go back to my dermatologist for them, which requires a doctor's visit (and copay!).

5.0 out of 5 stars ZNP an excellent treatment for seborrhea, January 14, 2006

I've suffered from seborrhea for many years. Tar medications as well as other zinc products I've tried have had unpleasant residual odors. ZNP is very effective in controlling symptoms, doesn't smell, and according to my dermatologist, is safe to use on a daily basis. The bar also seems to last a surprisingly long time. I use it both on my face and as a shampoo for my scalp with excellent results.

4.0 out of 5 stars Over 30 w/ acne?, October 30, 2006

By 

NH Gardener (Just a mile or two from Maine.) - See all my reviews

I'm over 30 and sick of having acne. My acne is that typical stuff you get in the T-zone, recurring in the same spots over and over. Plus my skin had a slight bumpy texture to it from being irritated (allergies probably). The dermatologist gave me a sample of this bar and I have been using it for 2 weeks. It has calmed down my skin and 90% of my acne is gone or negligable - which is crazy! I'll still get new ones here and there but they are gone in 1-2 days instead of a week. The overall texture of my skin is much smoother. This soap does dry out the skin though - I've learned not to wash with it every day. Plus, I moisturize as usual. (It'll dry your hands too)

In the past I've used Origins, Philosophy, Lancome, Clinique face washes/products - and this is beating them all.

Update - the effectiveness of this product wore off after about 1 month and my skin definitely had dryness issues. I think it will remain my "touch up" or "in a clinch" treatment but will not be part of the routine regimen.
