What the gurus are saying
One expert praised it as a gentle, fragrance-free option for those with facial seborrheic dermatitis and very sensitive skin. However, the product has been discontinued. Before it was pulled, gurus noted that zinc pyrithione in a cleanser bar can help control flaky red patches around the brows and nose, and may also address tinea versicolor, a condition that flares seasonally. Those who want to try a similar approach should lather the bar on affected areas and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing.
