Noble Formula 2% Pyrithione Zinc (ZnP) Original Bar Soap, 3.25 oz

I’m not one to leave a review on every item so please read! This soap bar is life CHANGING for back acne. I do not have acne anywhere besides for some reason my upper and lower back started breaking out so bad. Many of the pimples would just keep popping up. I don’t feel like I sweat that much, but thought maybe I’m oily. I searched high and low on Reddit threads with real people who suffer with back acne. I happened upon a girl who said this is what her doctor recommended (I had never heard of it). I used it for TWO DAYS, and I had a difference so significant, I actually gaslit myself into thinking, was my back even as bad as I thought it was? How could this be? However, I took a photo of it before and clearly I can look back and see how red and irritated and pimply my back was. Now, those spots have dried out, and there are no new spots. They’re not red or raised, you can’t see them!! I’m so thankful for this little bar. Speaking of — it’s little but goes A LONG WAY! You do not need much. I don’t notice much of a fragrance either. This was worth every penny and I’m so thankful.

This soap was introduced to me by an acquaintance. I was telling her how I have acne all my life, and sometime it is worse than others. She told me about this soap. It’s now my holy grail. I’ve been using this for 3 and half months now. I’m proud to say I’m going to keep buying it. It is rather expensive for a bar of soap, but it does the trick. I actually cut the soap into 4 decent size pieces. You can try using a knife to cut it piece by piece. It does break sometime, but it doesn’t matter. I use the broken down piece. The reason why I say cut it into several pieces if because the soap does get slippery and it will keep falling off your hands. You need to use water and wait for the foam to start showing on your hands, wait for the “sticky” stuff to appear on your hands, and then put it onto your face. Leave it on for at least a minute for better results. I usually leave it on for about 3-5 minutes at least bare minimum Onwards to the results, you have to have patience with this soap. It does bring down your current acne a whole lot after a day. For instance, I had acne that were getting bigger and even had puss on it. Once I use the soap, it literally shrinks it and the puss comes out right away. It starts to heal and becomes smaller. If you use this consistently like I do everyday, it will eventually clear your skin off some more. Takes time. It’s not an overnight miracle but it does have some mini miracles. I use this twice a day. Once in the morning, once after I do my yoga work out in the middle of the afternoon. I do have to say that it does dry my face out, so I use a nice moisturizer afterwards. Best if you use sunscreen. I use the Sun Bum that has no break outs sunscreen. I also advise that you buy a soap box holder. Putting it in a plastic zip bag is ok but I prefer to put it in a soap box. I got one for 95 cents at Wal Mart. The reason why I say soap box is because the bag can stick to the soap when you put it in, and it will leave left over soap onto the plastic. If you have a soap box, you can scope up the left over soap and can still use it. It’ll be harder if it was stick onto a plastic zipper bag. Just my opinion. If you use the soap right, one bar of soap can last you 2-3 months depending on how you use it. My first bar lasted me for 2 and half months. I’m on my 2!d bar of soap right now and it’s holding off well. Like I said, I suggest cutting the soap into 3-4 pieces. They don’t have to be even but that makes your soap last longer. Each smaller piece, it lasted me about 2-3 weeks. That’s my two cents about this soap! ^_^

The only thing I’ll use on my face for years. Recommended by a dermatologist for body acne but started using it on my face also. I use other medications that “control” the acne but this is the only face wash my sensitive skin likes. Gentle and soothing.

I only write reviews to help other people and this has been my story up until now. We, with skin issues all know how hard it is to find products that actually work! I'm 33, with acne EVERYWHERE (scalp, face, neck, back, chest, even blackheads on my bum and thighs) and have suffered with bad skin since I can remember. I've tried every OTC acne treatment and every prescription that my dermatologist has recommended (topical and oral). The only treatment that I haven't tried is Accutane, but I refuse due to the fear of risks. I don't eat dairy or processed foods so my diet isn't the issue. Anyways, I was told at my last dermatologist visit to try this soap for body acne. I thought what the heck? I've spent hundreds for guaranteed results that have failed so why not a $13.00 bar of soap? I've used this to wash my whole body, including my scalp, for about 5 nights now. It doesn't lather well so it does take time to really wash your scalp (do not wash my ends) and I leave it on my body and scalp for as long as it takes to shave, etc. Annnnnndddd, OMG! I've seen such a reduction in redness and bumps overall. My bum has broke out but I honestly believe it's just pulling all the blackheads out (I hope). My scalp has been the first to respond as far as clearing up, and I actually feel confident to go get my hair done soon. The soap does make my skin feel waxy clean (like stripped of oil) but it's actually really soft once skin is dried. **I haven't washed my face with it as I'm currently using a gentle cleanser and Azelaic Acid as prescribed. This product works for me so far and I know that people respond differently to products; however, if you're struggling with body/scalp acne, give this a try! Cons: The soap gets "loose" and slimy if left in shower. This can be wasteful. I've been putting mine in a sandwich bag and putting it up after use to retain the soap. Also, if you're super sensitive and a reluctant to use products or wonder why you're breaking out. Use the link below to check skin irritants in products. You can search the product name and/or an ingredient. Anything 3 and over in rating is a skin irritant and causes clogged pores/acne. www.Cosdna.com.

I’m glad it worked for other people, but this was HORRIBLE on my skin. The red flaky patches started spreading to the rest of my face almost immediately when I started using it and it made any skin it touched rough and bumpy. It was SO drying that my skin constantly felt tight and itchy and stung whenever I applied moisturizer, which I needed to do four times as often due to the drying effect of the soap. Stopped using it and definitely won’t buy again.
