DermaZinc Zinc Therapy Soap 4.25 Ounce (120 gram) Bar - 3 Pack

I have rather severe tinea versicolor, and the active ingredient in this soap is zinc pyrithione, which is supposed to lessen the symptoms. After going through one bar, I noticed no changes. However, this is due to the fact that it's a soap, and not designed to be left on the skin for the periods of time I'd need it to be there in order to lessen the symptoms. I wound up using a different product that greatly lessened the symptoms. So why am I rating this soap so high? Because it works for me as a "maintenance" soap, keeping the tinea at bay now that the symptoms are not so severe. Also, I'd buy this soap even if it didn't have zinc pyrithione: it lathers very well and has a pleasing yet subtle scent that isn't overpowering in the slightest. While I was hoping for a soap that would simply do the trick on its own, I recommend it for the reasons above. It's great as maintenance, and great as a soap in its own right.

This is a great replacement for ZNP Bar, which has been discontinued. I have sensitive skin that does not like change: I tried a new foundation recently that had added fragrance and got the worst acne of my life as a result. My cheeks were red, puffy, and suddenly had postules. I had several raised bumps and it even started to hurt. As a last-ditch effort before seeking the help of a dermatologist, I ordered this soap and after just two days of washing, I saw immediate results. Update: It's been two months now. With regular use, my skin is completely back to normal and it looks as though the allergic flare-up never happened. This soap saved me the hassle of a doctor's appointment, and I got my skin (and self-esteem) back! Some tips: -I highly recommended using a wooden/bamboo soap dish with slats to store this soap -- it will melt quickly in a traditional soap dish or if it sits in water. -As your skin is healing when using this soap, it may start to feel dry and you'll feel the need to exfoliate. Don't use a scrub or extra product to exfoliate -- just gently rub your face with your hands or a washcloth in the shower to get the dead skin off.

I bought this based on the Amazon reviews for this brand being the highest. It's OK, but does not work as well for me as the ZNP bar did. Since both brands supposedly have the same 2% zinc active ingredient, there is something missing in this bar that ZNP had. The ZNP bar also seemed to have a very mild abrasive in it to dislodge flakes that this bar doesn't have; this bar is silky smooth and doesn't lather much. On the plus side, the ZNP bar would build up a film on hair when used on the scalp; this product doesn't seem to have that problem. If you're not having success with 2% zinc products, try a 1% ketoconazole product like Nizoral; it's a five star performer for my condition.

I have been dealing with Seborrheic dermatitis for several years now on my face and scalp. Several visits to the dermatologist, several treatment changes from one high priced medicine to the next with no real results. It seemed as though those medications just treated part of the problem, I always had a red hue on my face, and when the medicine was wearing off I would get painful bumps and had to avoid the sun because of the medication or else I would burn easily. I decided to do some research and found Noble and Derma Zinc. Within 2 days my skin cleared of all the bumps, redness etc. Now a week later my skin is beginning to look like it did before this disease began to materialize about 5 years ago. Still not quite there but we will see. I purchased this product along with Noble Formula and use it daily. The cost per month I think will be about $10 based on a week of use. My previous prescription strength meds were about $75 a month and did not do near the same job. I do not want to sound like a pitch man but this stuff has worked for me.

I have had tinea versicolor for many years. You really can't get rid of it. Under the right conditions of moist and oily skin, it starts growing again. It won't kill you, but it doesn't look good when you are in swimming suit. I have always used dermatologist prescription 2% selenium shampoo to treat it applied for about 10 minutes or so, and then showering it off. I also use Selsun type shampoo regularly applied all over the body. The generally works. A friend said they have been using the zinc based soap with success, so I thought I would try it out. I have purchased both this DemaZinc soap and Noble formula soap, and both seam to work well, but not quite as fast as the prescription selenium shampoo. Both Soaps have a neutral scent, which is great for me. I have dry skin, and both soaps, used as both shampoo and body bar, leave my skin moisturized. I recommend this product, if you can't get, or can't afford the prescription drug.
