KATIALIS SOAP Sulfur Zinc Oxide Salicylic Acid Anti Fungal Anti Bacterial Soap 90 grams

This has been a ridiculously helpful soap for my problematic skin and scalp. I was getting real close to just cutting off all my hair because of this awful ‘breakout,’ or flare, idk what was going on. I figured I’d try it on scalp and hair because what did I have to lose? as well as have been using it full body. I’ll come back to edit in a few months if I do see any hair damage, but so far it’s been fine. I can literally feel it calming down the angry, itchy spots as soon as it’s applied, and I was afraid it might burn on broken skin but so far has felt fine. I was worried when some reviews said it had a heavy perfume smell, maybe there’s been a formula change. I find the scent pretty mild, except yeah it does smell like sulfur which isn’t necessarily my favorite experience but what am I gonna do. The sulfur smell does rinse well and layers okay under perfume, so it’s not terrible. I agree with other reviews that it is a very drying/ stripping soap, definitely gonna want a big bottle of lotion to go with, but also that’s kind of the point, right? (And obvs conditioner if you’re using it on hair.) Using on hair I found quickly that it lathers poorly the first wash, but lathers super well the second wash, so I guess you do need to double shampoo here. The bar does seem to run out faster/ last less time than other bars I’ve used, but I’ve also never used bars on my long hair before so I suspect that’s the real issue. For the price and effectiveness I’m okay with it. It seems to help with every skin problem I’ve ever had, from scalp issues to forever acne to random itchy spots to the eczema areas. It helps even when I don’t use it every day or am having struggles. And I super appreciate that it doesn’t have anything like peppermint or menthol to create a ‘tingling sensation’ like some products, it doesn’t feel like anything other than a scratchy soap. (The bar does have some physical exfoliant bits.) Has a good lather. Old bars ‘glue’ well onto new bars. It’s definitely worth trying, just with any skin medicine maybe try a spot test or use caution when applying to sensitive areas and face.

I really hope this review helps anyone suffering as bad as me..lengthy but worth the read as I truly can’t believe my eyes and that this is my skin/face. I didn’t take before and after pictures because honestly it was to painful/embarrassing to even look at the pictures with the reality of how bad my skin was, but now I wish I did because it is actually shocking. I’ve been to countless derms, tried every cream, wash, antibiotic (topically and orally), brand sold at Sephora, ultra, drugstore, basically tried everything for cystic hormonal and fungal acne. I’m 39 and the toll acne has taken on my confidence is truly awful and has stolen so much from me. Acne sufferers I know you know the feeling. I then caved and gave into the insta hype and tried Norse Organics thinking it would be life changing, only to have it make my already horrible skin so much worse. So bad that I couldn’t even do school drop off because it was so embarrassing and painful. I had such bad cysts I was sitting with ice packs on my face. I found this soap randomly through a Reddit thread, and I am truly so grateful. Within THREE days my face began to clear. Like I’m not kidding, just actually begin to clear and not just a little, like the giant cysts deep under the skin were almost completely gone and the little hard white pimples I had on my forehead and hairline were gone as if I had them extracted. I’m so grateful and like I said I can’t even believe it’s my face, I’m now 8 days in with using. I actually have cried walking past the mirror but this time of joy and actual happiness. I’ve followed the directions exactly as stated on the box. Morning and night - I wet face for a few minutes so it’s moist and then lather the soap in my hands and message it into my skin for two minutes (literally I’ve been setting a timer). Then rinse well and pat dry *with a separate towel than my body towel that I wash in free & clear fragrance free - tip from derm). I have not followed with a moisturizer and my skin was very dry and had some slight red patches around my mouth and nose the first three days but now that my skin is used to it I have not had any of that and almost no dryness either, so still not needing a moisturizer. Today I lathered it much thicker and let it sit on my skin for 5 minutes almost like a mask and my skin was instantly brighter tighter and way less inflamed. I’m a stay at home mom so I’ve not worn any makeup while trying to clear my skin up so no idea how it works to remove makeup but I’d assume good. Some have mentioned a smell but I actually like it lol and hey if it works this good I don’t care what it smells like. I’ve also tried it on my knees for some eczema spots and it’s working there too. Sending much love and prayer to all struggling with their skin as I know how hard frustrating and depressing it can be. If you’re up for it, give this a try - what do you have to lose other than a few zits? Hope this soap helps you as much as it’s helped me!

My skin was going through something ROUGH—no idea what the cause was. I went from having oily skin with very mild breakouts to severely dry, "crusty" and broken out. Wearing makeup to try and hide the acne was a nightmare and made me even more insecure. None of the cleansers or moisturizers I used helped. Did some research and came across something called bacterial folliculitis. It sounded a lot like my symptoms. Came across this brand and decided "f it why not" and oh my god—best purchase ever. I've used it for over a week now and my skin is soft, supple and hydrated. A lot of my acne has faded and all around looks/feels so much better than before. Fair warning, the smell is pretty strong! It's like washing your face with a bar of farts but it's worth it. I start with my normal cleanser first, follow with Katialis, let it sit on my face for like a minute, rinse, pat dry, follow with an anti bacterial facial spray, then finish with moisturizer 2x a day. It has a slick finish? So it kind of takes a bit to thoroughly rinse off, but other than that, I really can't complain with these results. It's worth the money.

I bought this because after a major infection I've been having issues with my skin. I've tried about a dozen things including doctor scripts and nothing was really working. Super frustrating so I decided to give it a try. It doesn't solve the problem but the issue is greatly reduced and I am hopeful that this with my scripts will eliminate the issue completely. It isn't strongly scented though it does have a scent. The color is a little off putting honestly for me but it doesn't stain, it was decently priced for a medicated soap, you don't need a lot to get a good decent lather and I have hard water so it should last a while and it doesn't irritate my skin though if you have skin irritation it can burn a little when you use it but it's like a stinging sensation that's less than if I were to use a disinfectant

after just 2 uses of this there is a NOTICABLE difference in my skin. I wish I would've taken a before picture. I work in a very wet, dirty, humid environment with a lot of grease and chemicals. my face gets a lot of red bumps on the sides of my face and neck and using this soap every morning and every night has cleared it up immensely. I have sensitive skin so the fact that this doesn't dry my face out or make me break out is amazing! it lathers well and is easy to use. I just reordered so I can keep on at my sink and one in the shower.

For some odd reason I was getting these dime size boils on my panty line from shaving. I had two bought this soap and immediately within a week they vanished and healed. This stuff is amazing! Use it for every shower. Literally saved me!

This soap is okay and works as expected. I feel a lot cleaner when using it. It can be drying, so make sure you moisturize after using. The scent isn’t great, but it’s not as bad as I expected with the sulfur. You can smell it a little, but it disappears. Some people are using it on their face. I would be careful. It irritated the skin on my face and I ended up getting more acne. There were also some hard particles in the soap that scratched me. Otherwise, I do like it and I feel cleaner after use.

This soap is a miracle worker. I use it on my face and neck. My face is so smooth and my skin tone is becoming even where it’s usually dark around my mouth. I’ve only been using it 2weeks.
