About this deal

Maximum OTC strength zinc pyrithione 2% for the control and reduction of the symptoms of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The unique thing about petrolatum is that it is the most effective occlusive agent known today. While the occlusivity of mineral oil is in the same league as the occlusivity of plant oils, petrolatum is in a league of its own. It sits on top of the skin and hinders so-called transepidermal water loss (TEWL) like nothingelse.

A dermatologist at Cur0l0gy told me that the acne on my upper arms was actually probably due to fungal infection! (What?! I would never have guessed.) I started using this soap, and it is about 90% cleared it up. I also think it has just generally helped keep the skin clearer on my body (including my tush).An extremely common multitasker ingredient that gives your skin a nice soft feel (emollient) and gives body to creams and lotions. It also helps to stabilize oil-water mixes (emulsions), though it does not function as an emulsifier in itself. Its typical use level in most cream type formulas is 2-3%. If you’ve considered it, stop right now – Vanicream Z-bar could be the exact product your dry skin fighting arsenal needs. A 2% zinc pyrithione cleansing bar, formulated with a skin-friendly anti-dandruff active known to be effective for soothing, healing and quelling populations of the Malassezia yeast we know is associated with seb derm. As for petrolatum and safety, we can write here pretty much the exact same thing as we have written at mineral oil. There is no evidence whatsoever that cosmetic, USP grade petrolatum is carcinogenic. It also does not absorb into the skinbut sits on top of it and that in itself greatly minimises health risks. It also has a long history of safe use, as it was first used as a skincare product more than 100 years ago, in 1872to be precise. The Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, Daily Facial Moisturizer, and other moisturizers by this brand contain emollients.

In our opinion, Vanicream products deliver value for money, but take a look at other brands that don’t require you to sacrifice your precious money. These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.

They both do not contain any harsh alcohols, common allergens, fragrances, oils, parabens or sulfates.

CeraVe is a great choice for those who enjoy the versatility of bar soap. It’s ultra-hydrating with 5% moisturizing cream to give you smooth, soft skin and restores your skin’s natural barriers with additives like hyaluronic acid. Like Vanicream’s cleansing bar, it removes oils, grime and leftover makeup without clogging your pores. Like Vanicream’s facial cleanser, it has also received the seal of approval from the National Eczema Association. While it’s not nearly as medicating as Vanicream’s Z-bar, it’s a good buy for those with milder skin conditions. This cleansing bar is advertised as fragrance-free, but many found it has a slightly off-putting smell. The famous Vaseline orPetroleum Jelly. Just like mineral oil, it is also a by-product of refining crude oil, aka petroleum, and it is also a mixture ofhydrocarbons but with bigger (C18-90+) carbon chain length.The unique thing about petrolatum is that it is the most effective occlusive agent known today.
