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. Read more
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! Read more
I have had issues with my face skin for quite some time now. Red, bumpy, flaky, tight feeling, and it stings at times. After some research I decided to give this a try in combination with CeraVe moisturizing cream for diabetics dry skin. After just a couple uses, I'm already seeing a difference. The redness has gone down a lot, the bumps are smaller, no longer feels tight or stings at all, and the flaking skin is less. It has no scent and is not irritating or stinging at all. It is very gentle and rinses easily. I rinse with a wash cloth just to get a bit of a gentle scrub in. Read more
This soap has honestly been a game changer for my skin. I started using it after a dermatologist recommended it because I was getting rashes on my face, and almost immediately after switching, the rashes cleared up. I’ve always been someone who used traditional foam or gel cleansers, so I was unsure about moving to a bar soap, but this one completely changed my mind. It’s very gentle, doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or stripped, and my face feels calm and comfortable after washing instead of irritated. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, this is absolutely worth trying. It’s one of the few products I’ve used where I saw a noticeable improvement rather than just “maintenance.” Pros: • Helped clear facial rashes quickly • Very gentle and non-irritating • Doesn’t dry out my skin • Dermatologist recommended Cons: • Currently out of stock (hoping it comes back soon) Overall, I’ll definitely continue to use this and repurchase as soon as it’s available again. I’m really glad I gave this a try. Read more
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. Read more
I love this soap. It's non drying and gentle on my face, but extremely effective in clearing up blemishes. This is easier to keep out of your eyes than dandruff shampoo if using on your face. Read more
These bar worked so well for my tinea versicolor. I used it once a week, let it sit for a few minutes in the shower and rinsing off after and within a couple uses it made my versicolor disappear. I have super sensitive skin and it didn’t seem to bother it. There is no scent that I noticed which I appreciate because the sulfur ones do. I definitely recommend. Read more
Nice, mild soap, real creamy. Only one I've ever used that does not itch! Read more
