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. Read more

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. Read more

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! Read more

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. Read more
