A GOD SEND FOR SEBORROIC DERMATITIS
I have acute seborroic dermatitis 99% of which is on my face. My skin goes bright red and at its worst cracks, where i shave it can bleed. It comes and goes and this present bout has lasted 4 years, it has made me self conscious as i feel people are looking at my face not me. I am under the care of a Dermatologist and, over recent years have been prescribed Dermol which is ok for after care but doesn't stop the breakout, I've been prescribed Oxytetracycline tablets for 6 months, they failed to stop break outs in fact they did nothing. Then, we tried Lymecycline tablets and they also did nothing.Then, a chance consultation with a locum GP and she told me to try a 2% Zinc 'soap' - I've had to avoid all soaps for disastrous consequences. I read the ingredients of this product and decided to try it. It's made a huge difference for me, it doesn't lather up so dont try, as I did. My skin is soft and the ground almond is helping as a mild exfoliant clearing away dead skin which has made shaving easier as I'm shaving away my beard not dead skin cells, shaving has been a major problem for me also.In the box you get 4 x decent sized bars, I'm still halfway through the first bar and my order was placed in April, also remember I use this product whenever I use the bathroom and, as my office is home based this first bar is used very frequently. So, don't be put off by the price as it most certainly will last me a very long time for sure. Ive changed my 'wet shave' system also and use a tea tree and lemon based lather product for shaving, but the zinc soap came first and I saw benefits very quickly in preventing major breakouts and soothing any residual.I'm so pleased, currently my face is 99% at peace which for me would be worth double the price which is funny as it was 'higher priced' that almost put me off buying this brand in the first place.I wanted to share my story with others who may have a skin condition so I've left it a few months before I wrote to you. I'm sure it's not just seborroic dermatitis it can significantly help with as it's done me.A few tips though; it's very slippery so take your time wringing it through your hands, when you first use it the edges are squared off so again, awkward to grip and can end up on the bathroom floor, wet the area you intend to wash first before you apply the product, even wetting your hands before you hold the bar, don't leave the bar at the bottom of your bowl of water or sink whilst you're washing with the product it'll just go soft and melt - buy yourself a little soap dish thats not rubber or plastic and place the soap bar in there between each time you need to re load with some more or to store between uses. I bought a ceramic small soap dish with holes in the bottom to help the bar to drain and dry out, this saves wastage. Don't try and get it to lather up like a bar or normal 'soap' - you'll be there for a long time and although the instructions are a bit vague its not supposed to lather up, when my hands and between my fingers are quite slippery I know its time to apply. These are the things that I have learned I thought you might find helpful.Just a final big up for the seller, I ordered in the morning and they shipped it same day and our post man brought it to me a few days later.I do hope you've found this usefull and remember, you don't have to have a skin condition to buy and use this, my wife's taken a bar and uses it as she says its softened her hands and likes the mild daily exfoliation with the ground almonds rather than the polyethylene microbead preparations shes been using which can be quite aggressive and the plastic beads take thousands of years to break down. kind regards, QuentinPS. MY FIRST OF 1ST OF 4 BARS HAS LASTED 3 MONTHS AND STILL HAS ABOUT A MONTH TO GO.. THE BOX OF 4 BARS SHOULD LAST ME A YEAR.Tip: buy a soap dish with holes for drainage to stop soap melting.
