DermaHarmony 10% Sulfur and 3% Salicylic Acid Bar Soap 3.7 oz (2 Bars)

Product works very very well and quick. I have a demodex mite allergy and dermatologist put me on a strong antibiotic that made my face blow up and looked like I had a diaper rash all over my face. This is helping to clear it faster than anything a dermatologist has ever given me for mites. They don’t seem to understand that when they kill them off and there is a massive die off that I flare up. The sulfur and salicylic acid combination is fantastic for my condition.

I have very oily skin. It's to the point that in the middle of the day, I need to blot my entire face to get refreshed. I typically use Origins natural skin care products, but since I get adult acne, I have to incorporate a 7% benzoyl peroxide gel on my face after cleaning and toning. This typically works out for me, but on the weeks when I encounter more stress, I sometimes break out and need additional help. I usually look for some sort of salicylic acid solution to target any new breakouts, and I find it helps get me back on track. For my latest breakout, I did some research on Amazon.com and found the 10% sulfur/3% salicylic acid bar soap from DermaHarmony. The 3% salicylic acid is why I initally came, but the 10% sulfur intrigued me further. I have never used sulfur in an everyday skin product, but apparently it's been used for thousands of years for problematic skin conditions like acne and excessive oil. I decided to give it a go. When the bar first arrived, I opened up the packaging and gave it a smell. It did have a light "rotten egg" aroma to it because of the sulfur, but it wasn't overbearing. I used warm water and lathered it up. I gently massaged my face and body with the suds and left it on for a few minutes (they say to keep it on for at least 1-minute). After rinsing it off, there was a noticeable difference in how clean my skin felt. Afterwards, I dried my face, and continued with my regimen of toning, applying benzoyl peroxide, and moisturizer. For the regular user, this is may too drying, but with my oily skin and moisturizer, my skin was in equilibrium. I even noticed my face didn't get as oily as it typically does in the middle of the day! Overall, I think this bar can help people with oily and acne-prone skin. It does have a slight smell to it, and I found it makes my shower smell a bit since it's in an enclosed area. During the day, I can sometimes pick up on the sulfur as well, but asking my girlfriend, she said she doesn't notice it at all. It may depend on how sensitive one is to certain smells. I do like the fact that this bar gives me a good sense of balance in that it helps with oily skin and helps dry out any blemishes. If I feel my face getting too dry, I just add moisturizer. Try it out, and see if it works for you!

I did a lot of research when looking for a sulfur face soap to hopefully help with rosacea break-outs on my nose. I am an older person with dry skin, and many reviewers cited the drying nature of sulfur soaps in general and also the off-putting smell of sulfur. I chose to order DermHarmony mainly due to a shorter list of ingredients (aka, fewer additives). I would have preferred NO salicylic acid, but nearly all the sulfur soaps contain it for some reason. I received my order yesterday. Upon opening and using this bar of soap last night, I noticed first of all that it had NO SMELL. No, it not only doesn't smell like rotten eggs; it doesn't smell like much of anything at all. Secondly, it did not cause the awful drying or burning that so many people reviewing sulfur soaps complained about. I noticed a mild "tightening" of the skin when it was on, but it appeared to rinse cleanly off, and my skin felt very soft afterward. I happened to notice a strange new break-out pimple near my hairline last night as well, so I used some sulfur soap on it, left the soap on for a few minutes, and then rinsed it off. I usually use a small amount of Aveeno regular lotion before bed, and that is all I needed after washing with this soap. This morning I lathered this sulfur soap and used it only on my nose. I left it on for about 10 minutes, then rinsed it off. No burning, no redness, no smell, no excessive dryness. After two uses, it does not appear to have have an affect on the rosacea either way, but I know it can take awhile to see results. However, also this morning, I noticed the pimple near the hairline is now a barely noticeable small bump under the skin. Whether the soap had a part in clearing it or not I can't be sure as it might have gone down on its own overnight even without the soap (but, it is my first data point). I rate this soap 4 stars for a gentle sulfur soap that softens skin with minimal drying. I probably wouldn't do well with anything stronger, so this was a good choice for me. I'll update my review and add a star if I find that this soap is effective in helping to treat rosacea break-outs or even to rapidly clear that occasional pimple of unknown origin.

I was amazed the first time I use this. I seen so many little blackheads disappear. And the only thing I did was wash my face with this. I was so pleased with the product. I ordered two more so they always have one available.

I definitely like the smell of this soap. Cannot really describe the scent, herbal maybe with a hint of lavender??? I use it on my face and also my body. Lathers fine rinses fine. My husband thought the charcoal might be a good neutralizing agent to keep me from breaking out with my rosacea. It’s not 100% but pretty good. The scent is good. Comes in a very nice little box, so points for packaging as well. My skin does seem somewhat softer.

Good product but delivery was not good

Very strong soap don’t over use it. Here is my story, maybe it can help others. Background: Suffering from SD facial rash for all of last year!! First time experiencing this rash. Never had scalp dandruff so don’t really know what caused it. Went to 3 derms, couldn’t figure what is the cause of my *facial rash* One said rosacea (never had one symptom of it so wth is she talking about?)never gave me any topical creams for the rash. Told me just to deal with it- since it’s a chronic condition. Second just gave me steroids for * dermatitis*. Third one said might be fungal.. use the antifungal cream and prescription 10% sulfur wash. Rash should be gone in 2 weeks🤔 seemed too good to be true since I’ve had this for over 10months.. Facial rash isn’t classic SD. It’s not localized to patches, greasy skin or scales. It’s literally all over my face and accompanied by itchy pinpoint sized tiny whiteheads/pustules over red skin. Topical steroids suppress the angry pustular rash but it comes right back after a few days. Started using topical fungal cream (ciclopirox) for 1 month with no improvement. Didn’t really use the sulfur wash since it was heavily scented and gave me painful cystic acne. Product review: Started looking for simple/unscented sulfur soaps and stumbled upon on this brand. So far it’s been 2.5 weeks and I’ve seen tremendous improvement. Initially I was washing my face with the soap 2x/day- do not do this! It extremely irritated my skin and made it worse. My face was on fire for the next few days. I stopped using the soap so my skin can return to baseline. Started using it again, daily-only at night followed by the prescribed antifungal cream. Basically my condition was so bad that the fungal cream wasn’t working. The rash/plaques needed to be exfoliated so the cream can penetrate the skin. I’ve seen more improvement in 2.5 weeks than using the fungal cream alone for 4wks. Looked up a few publications online and antifungal creams should be applied for 12wks to really get rid of the SD infection. Going to continue the current routine and hoping in 2-3months the SD will be gone for good! Oh and don’t forget to use an oil-free moisturizer!

Since it seems to work for myriad skin issues, I got this to see if would alleviate stubborn lichen planus symptoms. I used it in the shower, so used it on my face, too. It was fine, great lather, no odor, no dryness or skin irritation of any kind. So far no improvement on the LP, but holy shhhhh, completely unexpectedly my face looks amazing. Pores shrank to zero. Even more impressive considering this is during an extended period of blistering high summer heat & suffocating humidity, which usually makes my oily skin go wonky. I can't ever remember using a bar soap on my face. This company's bar soap is more potent than the liquid face soap it sells, so I guess I'll be sticking with the bar. Kinda pricey for body soap, but just used for face the cost won't be bad.
