Customer Reviews of ZNP Bar Pyrithione Zinc 2% Therapeutic Cleanser 4.2 Oz
Customer Review: Excellent Value that actually works well.
Summary: 4 Stars
Although the 4 star rating would belie the consumer looking for a over the top success, this stuff is full of win. The only reason it didnt get a full five stars was I started using it the same time my dermatologist gave me Clobetasol. Between the two of these things my skin has not looked so good in many years. The bar has a light fragrant odor. It lathers well, gives good coverage and rinses clean. Skin is soft and not dry after you get out of the shower or bath. The value is despite the higher cost for this soap, the bar lasts exceptionally long. If used as directed this bar could last for several months, or longer. The only other Zinc product which worked as well was Head and Shoulders "Intensive Treatment" 2% Zinc P but is no longer sold in stores. The Selenium Sulfide just doesnt cut it. I read a study where you need much higher concentrations of Selenium to even equal the power of 2% Zinc. So why buy the weaker product? Its getting harder and harder to find a good shampoo/soap to treat Psoriasis and dermatitis. (of which I have both in the same places, Doctor said I was "lucky") Skin flakes less, and the redness all but disappears. Def worth a try, but you have to use it religiously, and there is a method to doing it. 1: Remove the scale. Soak in a hot bath in Epsom salt or wash first with glycerin soap, Nutregena facial bar is perfect. Let it sit for several minutes and rinse, repeat if needed to get the thick skin off. 2: Follow with Salicylic Acid shampoo 3% or equivalent to be sure you have nothing but the lowest level of skin to treat or the medicine wont work as well. 3: Lather the bar well, let sit for up to 10 minutes. Any less and you are only short sticking yourself. No less then 7 minutes. This is key. It might burn a little, if your skin is especially sensitive. But give it a week, and you wont care. My showers take about 30 minutes. They have to. Shutting the water off between rinses conserves but this process is a long one, but if you want clear skin you have to decide if its worth the effort. Good luck.Customer Review: Helps with seb derm but causes irritation
Summary: 2 Stars
I had high hopes for this soap after reading the reviews. It does seem to work very well controlling sebhorreic dermatitis. But for some reason, it gave me almost a hive type of reaction. I'm not sure what it was. I know I have breakout-prone skin, and so I was taking a risk by using a solid bar soap, instead of a liquid face wash.
The ZNP bar does really improve itching and redness in general. However, after only one or two washings, it would give me large, red, itchy...I'm not sure what. They were like hives. I took a break from the soap a few times and tried using it again, hoping I would not react to it, but unfortunately I did, each time. So it was helping one problem (seb derm) but causing basically the same problem.
The soap smells very very good. It also does seem to last for ever. I've never seen a soap this sturdy. After using it, it's as if the soap bar hasn't decreased in size at all.
If you are not prone to break outs, I think this soap would be a miracle, since it is so cost effective. Compared to prescriptions for sebhorreic dermatitis, this soap is so much cheaper, considering that one bar probably would last months. It also smells very nice.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to use it without getting allergic type reactions. I am really not sure why I get these reactions, and am really disappointed. I really hoped this soap would be my cheap, reliable solution.
One tip for those who want to buy this soap. It seems it is only available online now. I couldn't find it in any drug store.
Customer Review: So glad to have found this product again!
Summary: 5 Stars
My pharmacy recently discontinued selling this product so I was very happy to find it on Amazon. I have used ZNP bar soap for many years, recommended by my dermatologist, for mild to moderate rosacea. It shows up as a rash on and around my nose, cheeks, and along my forehead and hairline. As long as I use this soap, morning and evening, I have no rash problems. Within a week of non-use, I notice a definite deterioration in the condition of my skin. Has nearly doubled in cost over the last ten years, but I'm still buying/using it!
Customer Review: ZNP bar soap review
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to help with fungal folliculitus I think I got from the hot tub. I have been using for several months, along with Nizorel anti-fungal shampoo, and now use it as my regular soap when showering.
It has a pleasant, but not overpowering, smell and seems to dry my skin out quite well, which is good for me, as I have generally very oily skin and am also prone to spots on my back and shoulders.
Definitely worth a try.
Customer Review: Customer Service Exceeded My Expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
My order arrived on time but with a minor snafu requiring me to contact customer service. With little more than a quick phone call my issue was resolved and the rest of the order was fulfilled. Customer service went the extra mile for me and more than satisfactorily adjusted the discrepancy. I could not be happier when a company does not haggle with me and simply puts things right, for that the DermStore earned my future business.
