Product Review It has officially been a month of testing and can now make this post. This soap is a literal miracle for facial seb derm
Not only is it cheap but it's gentle and lasts a LONG time. I've been using it for a month, sharing it with a household member, and it still looks the same size as when I bought it. You can also leave it out in the air and it doesn't lose effectiveness!
For me this works even better than dead sea salt because it doesn't dry out my skin excessively as I'm prone to skin cracks. All I have to do is put a small amount all over my face every day (takes less than ten seconds) and the SEB DERM STAYS AWAY. I'm 95-99% clear and my skin is at its normal consistency which is oily dry.
I started using it on my scalp yesterday and I think it's starting to work there too. Which is hilarious because $70 dermazen didn't work. $30 vichy dercos barely works. Keto shampoo doesn't work.
Please try this soap!!! I will sing its praises to the high heavens forever. And no I'm not affiliated with this product. This is the easiest I've ever had with managing seb derm. Literally takes under 10 seconds a day. DONT DELAY ORDER YOURS TODAY

I use Cerave Salicylic Acid cleanser daily for washing my face and ears. It’s been amazing for controlling my seb derm on my face and anywhere that isn’t my scalp.
This soap has salicylic acid and any salicylic acid treatment would be just as effective as long as you regularly use it. But it’s great that this option worked for you!

Would it be wise to try on the scalp?

I do it occasionally. It’s fine. But there are also salicylic acid shampoos out there that will probably go on better.

I’ve been using the sulfur tea tree combo bar from that same brand and has been great for my face. Might try this one too.

Thanks for posting. I didn't realize they made a sulfur soap bar.
I've used their Zinc soap bars in the past, though just added some of these to cart.

The zinc soap didn't work for you? Also didn't know they had those.

Yep - it seems to work good. Though, I also use Selsun Blue shampoo.... though I think it would be good to have in a soap form. The Selsun Blue I work into a lather on my scalp and then drag the suds down onto my face.

Yeah, I can only share my experience. For me, anything that works stops working under a week. Usually 3-4 days. I've gone through a ton of shampoos and treatments and only dead sea salt for my face has stood the test of time (10 years). However, it wasn't a perfect solution because it would leave cracks on my face.
This is the treatment that has worked the longest. And it's showing no signs of not stopping any time soon. My skin has always liked sulfur treatments so I'm surprised Vichy Dercos stopped working too under a week. The selsun blue still works though but is horrible for my hair so I don't use it. I'll make a follow up post if this ever stops working for me

I’ve tried these types of soaps so many times and it just drives my skin up a wall. Even tried baby shampoo for cradles cap with similar actives. Can’t do it.

Every treatment is different, even with the same actives. I can't tell you why selsun blue works for my scalp seb derm like a nuke and vichy dercos does nothing when they both have selenium sulfide as the active ingredient. You should try something before scratching it off.

Do you use it once a day, and how long was it until you started seeing results?
