Vanicream Z Bar, Seborrheic Dermatitis & Anti-Dandruff Medicated Bar, 3.5 Oz, Formulated without Common Irritants for Sensitive Skin, 2% Pyrithione Zinc Helps Relieve Itching, Redness & Flaking

Honestly I tried this out of being desperate. My skin flares so easily and can be very painful. I do a lot of steps in my skin routine just to be comfortable to move my face to smile. But I'm always looking for the next thing that will help treat not just manage. When i first tired it, it felt different then I'm used to. I thought it may be drying my skin out too much. But it wasn't too pricey to try and I seen a lot of older methods treating it with a z bar (or similar just different brand) but it's not used a ton anymore. So I figured one or two more tries and if i5 stills feel wrong I would just toss it. Boy am I happy I waited. Just the same day but the end of the night for my next skin care routine. My face didn't feel that address anymore AND it didn't feel dirty and dry and most importantly not painful in any way. I continued to use it about a handful more times and I'm thrilled with the results. It truly makes my skin feel better and I find a lot less build up at the end of the day. It really manages that layer of my skin. I'm so disappointed cause I've tried such expensive methods. And this has been so helpful. I do still do my additional cares (toner, moisturizer, etc) after every wash which probably makes a difference too. But that's more I find has benefit my the most. But this soap is really going to help in thay deeper level. I can feel the difference. Will be buying more and more!

For anyone with rolls or larger breasts, this is great to keep on hand. Even with daily washing and scrubbing (please shower daily) you can still get yeast infections anywhere where skin overlaps. You will not be able to get rid of a yeast infection with normal soap. That's where the Z bar comes in. Its anti-fungal (yeast is a fungus) and using it daily can slowly clear mild yeast based skin infections. Note: this is not a replacement for medical advice, please check with a medical professional before using this to ensure what you have is actually a yeast infection. I apply a lather of the z bar soap to the affected area when it happens and let it sit on the skin while doing the rest of my routine. Please keep in mind that it will A) take a while to work because yeast infections are extremely stubborn and B) you MUST keep the area as clean and dry as possible throughout the day. As for the soap itself, it has no noticeable scent after rinsing/drying that I've noticed. This is also a MUCH more affordable treatment than the liquid serums or using anti-dandruff shampoo (which often uses the same active ingredient). It lasts a long time as long as you keep it out of water so it can dry when not in use. If you put it in a place in the shower where water continually runs on it, its going to dissolve much quicker (like literally any bar soap). All in all, and great thing to keep in your medicine cabinet or bathroom sink.

Wow! I must say, this Z-bar has far surpassed my exoectations. I was breaking out with acne using the Nizoral shampoo- just the shampoo and not the version with added conditioner. The maker refused to say if it is non-comodogenic or not ( def not). My skin on my back and shoulder was a mess of breakouts. I was upset because it was starting to cause acne on my face. Then, it struck me to try the Z-Bar ( the VaniCream brand of dandruff shampoo is oddly unavailable) and after only 2 shampoos, I am satisfied. My scalp feels terrific, my hair is soft. My back-ne etc is starting to abate. VaniCream is well known not to cause breakouts. And omits many harmful chemicals. Run, do not walk. The bar is easy to lather and apply to scalp. Remember to leave it on for a few mins while you shave ( legs or beard). I am so relieved. But when will the shampoo pop onto Amazon?!

I was looking for a medicated shampoo with clean ingredients and this works great. It could be slightly drying for daily shampoo use, but I love that it doesn't leave any residue or build up behind.

I’ve had a stubborn rashy/breakout patch on my forehead for years that may be related to an autoimmune condition. This bar seems to help somewhat but I can’t use it more than once or twice a week or else my face gets dry, irritated, and burny. Unfortunately no matter how I avoid my eye area it always makes my eyelids flakey. Not sure if I’ll repurchase but it was worth a try. I do like the Vanicream Gentle Cleanser for daily use and I also use the daily moisturizer, spf moisturizer, and vitamin c serum, which are all great.

No allergic reactions as an MCAS person, lathers well - make sure to use wet hands and rub together to lather it up before applying to the scalp. Definitely worth the price, and environmentally friendly as a shampoo bar. Cleans thoroughly.

Great bar. Works great and will buy again. Lathers well and doesn't seem to bother my sensitive skin.

And it really helps with my excema and psoriasis. The scent took some getting used to, but it does clean well and makes my skin super soft.

Amazing product! Really feels like it does a whole lot of good cleaning and healing for my skin disorder, without hurting my skin. I leave it on for 2-3 minutes before rinsing off, just to make sure it’s doing the job. (Only downside is that it’s quite expensive)
