Dermaharmony Sulfur and Salicylic Acid Bar Soap - 3.7 oz (1 Bar)

I have very oily skin. It's to the point that in the middle of the day, I need to blot my entire face to get refreshed. I typically use Origins natural skin care products, but since I get adult acne, I have to incorporate a 7% benzoyl peroxide gel on my face after cleaning and toning. This typically works out for me, but on the weeks when I encounter more stress, I sometimes break out and need additional help. I usually look for some sort of salicylic acid solution to target any new breakouts, and I find it helps get me back on track. For my latest breakout, I did some research on Amazon.com and found the 10% sulfur/3% salicylic acid bar soap from DermaHarmony. The 3% salicylic acid is why I initally came, but the 10% sulfur intrigued me further. I have never used sulfur in an everyday skin product, but apparently it's been used for thousands of years for problematic skin conditions like acne and excessive oil. I decided to give it a go. When the bar first arrived, I opened up the packaging and gave it a smell. It did have a light "rotten egg" aroma to it because of the sulfur, but it wasn't overbearing. I used warm water and lathered it up. I gently massaged my face and body with the suds and left it on for a few minutes (they say to keep it on for at least 1-minute). After rinsing it off, there was a noticeable difference in how clean my skin felt. Afterwards, I dried my face, and continued with my regimen of toning, applying benzoyl peroxide, and moisturizer. For the regular user, this is may too drying, but with my oily skin and moisturizer, my skin was in equilibrium. I even noticed my face didn't get as oily as it typically does in the middle of the day! Overall, I think this bar can help people with oily and acne-prone skin. It does have a slight smell to it, and I found it makes my shower smell a bit since it's in an enclosed area. During the day, I can sometimes pick up on the sulfur as well, but asking my girlfriend, she said she doesn't notice it at all. It may depend on how sensitive one is to certain smells. I do like the fact that this bar gives me a good sense of balance in that it helps with oily skin and helps dry out any blemishes. If I feel my face getting too dry, I just add moisturizer. Try it out, and see if it works for you!

Product works very very well and quick. I have a demodex mite allergy and dermatologist put me on a strong antibiotic that made my face blow up and looked like I had a diaper rash all over my face. This is helping to clear it faster than anything a dermatologist has ever given me for mites. They don’t seem to understand that when they kill them off and there is a massive die off that I flare up. The sulfur and salicylic acid combination is fantastic for my condition.

My dermatologist recommended I give this a try since none of the multiple prescriptions worked for my rosacea. I have only been using it for less than a week but I think I have seen some improvement. Still too soon to tell that is why only 4 stars. Tiny bit of a smell but not enough to even worry about. I only use it on my cheeks, which is where my rosacea is and I still am using the redness control creme I have been using all along. So, nearly a week in I feel it is an inexpensive thing to try that seems to be helpful so far.

Since it seems to work for myriad skin issues, I got this to see if would alleviate stubborn lichen planus symptoms. I used it in the shower, so used it on my face, too. It was fine, great lather, no odor, no dryness or skin irritation of any kind. So far no improvement on the LP, but holy shhhhh, completely unexpectedly my face looks amazing. Pores shrank to zero. Even more impressive considering this is during an extended period of blistering high summer heat & suffocating humidity, which usually makes my oily skin go wonky. I can't ever remember using a bar soap on my face. This company's bar soap is more potent than the liquid face soap it sells, so I guess I'll be sticking with the bar. Kinda pricey for body soap, but just used for face the cost won't be bad.

I was amazed the first time I use this. I seen so many little blackheads disappear. And the only thing I did was wash my face with this. I was so pleased with the product. I ordered two more so they always have one available.

I am giving this a 3 stars because it has been effective in treating my KP skin. The bumps have been smoother and my skin is softer (after moisturizing). The smell from the sulfur is what ruins it for me unfortunately. It lingers in the bathroom and if I get sweaty the smell comes through my pores and is extremely noticable. My husband and son have both mentioned it in multiple occasions. I've limited myself to using this if I don't have plans for a couple of days and intend on staying home. If I do need to leave I try to apply a fragrant lotion to mask the smell. Otherwise it works great for me, hopefully this product can be improved to mask the sulfur smells.

So far the product is great. I can't say about helping about acne yet. But I wanted to say for people that have sensitive skin this soap seams great. I have never ending problems finding any product (especially face products for acne), that will not immediately irritate my skin or cause it to become too dry, or develope a serious rash. This product made my face dry in a normal clean way, and I had no bad reactions to it and gave used it several times.

I definitely like the smell of this soap. Cannot really describe the scent, herbal maybe with a hint of lavender??? I use it on my face and also my body. Lathers fine rinses fine. My husband thought the charcoal might be a good neutralizing agent to keep me from breaking out with my rosacea. It’s not 100% but pretty good. The scent is good. Comes in a very nice little box, so points for packaging as well. My skin does seem somewhat softer.

Believe it did its job

I ordered this soap to help with tinea versicolour and wow! It does not stink like sulfur, it does not burn. It is gentle yet very effective. In my case, it has helped gently exfoliate this top layer of skin to reveal new fresh skin. I have so far used it once in the AM and once in the PM. I am writing this review after one day because I have seen such a big difference. It can be a bit drying in the shower, but that feeling goes away once you step out and towel dry. The soap also lathers super well, so a little bit goes a long way!

I bought for my dandruff but it didn't help at all!

Summer has arrived early and it’s time for heat and humidity = dermatitis. So far this has been great, no smell or fragrance just an old fashioned soap. Lathers up really well, only very little is required and cost efficiency is great, would definitely recommend. Leaves healthy looking skin and very smooth.

me and my sister have that kind of relationship where we’re out here picking at each others pimples every now and then. since using this, id asked my sister to check out the pimples on my back and let me know if there’s any bad ones. usually i suffer from tiny bumps and maybe a couple bigger pimples around my back- but I lifted my shirt to absolutely nothing!! she told me my skin looked as if it was healing and there was nothing for her to pop. do with that information as you will. I’ve also been using this on my face every night and applying retinol after- though i’ll have to check in and let you guys know if i see any changes in my skin as they’re both newer additions to my skincare routine and retinol is known to purge :) it is quite drying, but not overly.
