Clever Soap 0.5% Piroctone Olamine Face & Body Cream - Helps Prevent Flare-Ups - Suitable For Seborrheic Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Acne, Dry & Oily, Sensitive Skin - Fragrance & Oil Free, For Men & Women

I can’t recall the last time I reviewed something, but THIS stuff is a saviour and deserves it. Since coming off the contraceptive pill in January, my skin has been terrible. I’ve never really suffered with bad skin, other than the odd spot which I can’t help but pick at. But in the past year I’ve been suffering with hormonal breakouts and after much research, what I believe to be some fungal acne (FA), as well as just terrible skin texture/closed comedones that would not shift no matter what I used. I damaged my skin barrier throwing every serum, aha/bha, toner, mask and even a steamer at it. Nothing would work and it was getting to the point I was going to book to see a dermatologist for help and/or mediation. When I realised it was likely FA, I came across Natalie O’Neill on Instagram and she recommend this stuff. I wasn’t too sure as I’ve bought things recommended by influencers before that have done nothing. But I saw the low price compared to most skin care these days and thought it can’t make it any worse surely? So i’ll give it a go. After a few uses, just at night, my forehead spots and texture was clearing up after 9 months of looking like a mountain range! There is no scent, the texture is like a watery gel. I just pop a little bit on the textured areas at night over the top of other serums and before my moisturiser and let it do its magic. A little goes a long way. It’s worth noting I have also cut out all skin care products that are not FA safe and massively cut back on what I’m using in my routine, as well as cutting out anything with fragrance where possible. I have also developed massively sensitive skin in the last few years and have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis around the eye area. Although I haven’t put it too close to my eyes anyway, my skin was not irritated by this at all. ‘Holy grail’ is over used these days, but this is definitely in the running for that title for me. 100% recommend!

Like others, I saw this product recommended by Natalie O’Neill for fungal acne. I feel like I have tried everything to clear my acne, this was a last ditch attempt before trying something super expensive. The first few days I didn’t really see any improvement, but I persevered and a couple of weeks later I don’t have a single acne spot / bump on my face. That is the first time in probably about 3 years. I use as part of my normal routine, and make sure to moisturise a lot as the texture is a touch drying. A little goes a long way so I feel it is good value for money, and of course it seems to have done the job so fingers crossed it stays like this!

This really is a great product for fungal acne. I suspected some on my forehead and after a couple of days of using this my forehead was completely smooth and clear. Because it's a very lightweight gel it can be a little drying, especially over winter, so I wouldn't completely replace your moisturiser for this. This is best served as a treatment, and once your skin is clear make sure to use fungal acne safe skincare and makeup (if your FA is triggered by this). Overall, it's worked a treat and I couldn't be happier! The tub will last ages too!

I got this after watching some tiktoks from Natalie O’Neill, I was fed up of the fungal acne which has been traumatising me for the whole summer. This single handedly cleared most of my acne in just two weeks! I still have few bumps but I’m sure they will go away in another week. Just wanted to share the review incase someone else is struggling. It’s really effective, at first I was using it in conjunction with BHA but then found that it worked fine without it. Truly saved my sanity. Fire product! Also, There’s no scent to it. Thanks for the rec Natalie!

This actually is a good product and has helped my dermatitis. However, whoever thought the tin was a good idea for the product needs sacking. I had to cut the tin open because the lid gets stuck and I eventually couldn’t open it at all.

Haven’t used it yet - a bit hesitant to if I’m honest. It’s like other reviews, no seal whatsoever. Just a circle tab on the side of the lid, anyone could stick that on. Would like to try it but still hesitant atm. Not sure if this is how the product comes but feel like it isn’t because people have posted a picture of a broken seal?

i have been using it since i got it, twice a day. it’s gel like texture put me off at first but it’s actually really nice when applied and doesnt make my face sticky. its great for acne prone skin and oily skin as it doesn’t make it more oily and helps with breakouts. i do recommend, it’s a strong addition to skincare routine

Didn’t agree with my son skin, came out in a rash on his face. He has bad acne and this didn’t help at all, made it worse.

Keine Hilfsstoffe mit drin, die malassezia furfur füttern, super! Aber: sparsam verwenden, 1x täglich reicht bei mir.

Wirkt bei mir leider gar nicht beim seborrhoischem Ekzem. Schade.
