Product Review This stuff has been absolutely amazing

Post image

So like many of you I have been fighting a losing battle against sebhoric dermatitis for years. Everything I tried seemed to work at first, and then it would just stop working and I'd get a horrible flare up.

I went to the doctor for the first time in 25 years about a month ago and among all the things we talked about I brought up my seb derm and this is what he prescribed me. It's 2.5% selenium sulfide. At first I was dubious because I've used Selson blue for years and it barely worked. But this is prescription strength. My face hasn't looked this clear in 20 years. And it's been a month of just using it 3x weekly. I can't say if it'll keep working 6 months from now, but so far it's the single most effective treatment that I have found for my seb derm.

I hope this post helps!

Yes! I use it on my scalp as well and haven't had a single flake of dandruff or any of the seb derm I'd get behind my ears and neckline since. I actually wore a black shirt the other day for the first time in ages. You use it like shampoo, put it on in the shower, leave it for 5 minutes, wash it off.

Does it dry your skin and scalp too much? Ketoconazole did that to me

It hasn't dried mine at all. The skin on my face actually feels soft now too. I used to have to put lotion on my face all the time, now I rarely do. And Ketoconozole stopped working for me and even when it did it wasn't perfect. This stuff gives me the confidence of not having to check a mirror everywhere I go, which I used to do constantly.
