Noble Formula2% Pyrithione Zinc (ZnP) Emu Oil Bar Soap, Especially Formulated for Acne, Psoriasis, and Eczema, Safe for Daily Use and All Skin Types, 3.25 oz

My daughter has been using this product for fungal acne. It has worked great, it does not irritate her skin, and actually helps her skin look brighter and helps with the bumps. She never lets herself run out of the soap, we will continue to order.

This soap was introduced to me by an acquaintance. I was telling her how I have acne all my life, and sometime it is worse than others. She told me about this soap. It’s now my holy grail.I’ve been using this for 3 and half months now. I’m proud to say I’m going to keep buying it. It is rather expensive for a bar of soap, but it does the trick. I actually cut the soap into 4 decent size pieces. You can try using a knife to cut it piece by piece. It does break sometime, but it doesn’t matter. I use the broken down piece. The reason why I say cut it into several pieces if because the soap does get slippery and it will keep falling off your hands.You need to use water and wait for the foam to start showing on your hands, wait for the “sticky” stuff to appear on your hands, and then put it onto your face. Leave it on for at least a minute for better results. I usually leave it on for about 3-5 minutes at least bare minimumOnwards to the results, you have to have patience with this soap. It does bring down your current acne a whole lot after a day. For instance, I had acne that were getting bigger and even had puss on it. Once I use the soap, it literally shrinks it and the puss comes out right away. It starts to heal and becomes smaller. If you use this consistently like I do everyday, it will eventually clear your skin off some more. Takes time. It’s not an overnight miracle but it does have some mini miracles. I use this twice a day. Once in the morning, once after I do my yoga work out in the middle of the afternoon. I do have to say that it does dry my face out, so I use a nice moisturizer afterwards. Best if you use sunscreen. I use the Sun Bum that has no break outs sunscreen.I also advise that you buy a soap box holder. Putting it in a plastic zip bag is ok but I prefer to put it in a soap box. I got one for 95 cents at Wal Mart. The reason why I say soap box is because the bag can stick to the soap when you put it in, and it will leave left over soap onto the plastic. If you have a soap box, you can scope up the left over soap and can still use it. It’ll be harder if it was stick onto a plastic zipper bag. Just my opinion.If you use the soap right, one bar of soap can last you 2-3 months depending on how you use it. My first bar lasted me for 2 and half months. I’m on my 2!d bar of soap right now and it’s holding off well. Like I said, I suggest cutting the soap into 3-4 pieces. They don’t have to be even but that makes your soap last longer. Each smaller piece, it lasted me about 2-3 weeks.That’s my two cents about this soap! ^_^

November 14/2012As an **exclusive** ZNP bar user for over ten years due to Seborrhea dermatitis I was petrified when I found out it was no longer being made. With only a sliver left I was forced to act FAST. I read one review on Amazon that said she was actually THANKFUL that ZNP had stopped making it because as a result she'd found Noble Formula! Enough said, I was sold!BAR SHAPE: As the photo's demonstrate this is a rectangular shape with edges on the bar. In my opinion this should be modified. It's awkward to hold and to use. Eventually this will round out but why not change it to a more pleasing shape? It's not a deal breaker but you get what I mean.Bar Texture: No other word to use other than slimy! When this bar gets wet it's a total slime fest! The bumps of oatmeal are probably one of the things that keep it from slipping out of your hand. Who knows, maybe the square form helps? Not sure since my bar hasn't rounded off yet.Lather: NONE! If you enjoy a nice thick lather be prepared! This doesn't even give the sense of lather! It is slimy and that's what you get- PERIOD!Rinse and feel on the face: Ok I'm not going to lie - it feels weird! At first I thought oily and was very concerned it wouldn't clean my face or rinse off well but it actually does both and rinses off very easily! I would have thought it would `cling' and give me a dirty maybe even oily feeling. I have a naturally oily face so I was very worried. This rinses so easy and fast it really is shocking! And I'm left with a clean feeling!After the rinse: As already stated once rinsed and dried my face feels soft and CLEAN! There's none of that tight feeling or dryness in areas! It's a very spa like result!Exfoliate: Recommended use method: The oatmeal is meant to help gently exfoliate but since I am using this on only my face I am used to lathering in my hand and then applying from hand to face. As a sufferer of dermatitis I've always been told not to scrub. So I'm not certain the oatmeal is really any use to me as an exfoliate. I've tried to take the bar and apply it directly to my face but it's awkward. This may be more help if you use it on the body but for me it just helps to grip the bar!Scent: Not much if any at all. There's really no scent to this when I smell the bar. It does have a slight smell when in use that I don't care for but the scent is mostly gone once you rinse it off.Overall Review: I did see slightly less drying on my face versus the ZNP bar but with normal use I began to have breakouts! NOT GOOD!Now that the soap bar has worn down some it is less slick because oatmeal in it comes out more. I find the oatmeal rough and could not imagine it being classified as 'gentle' but that's my opinion.Recently my dermatologist recommendaed Cetaphil so I started to use that. I find the Cetaphil does not cause me breakouts but it does not control my dermititis either. As of now I'm using Cetaphil daily but suplimenting with Noble Formula a few times a week (one daily application only) for the areas I have the worst flaking. It seems to be working so fingers crossed!
