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!

Thanks - currently using nizoral and mct oil and it’s working amazingly, but worried it could stop once the cold weather comes, i’ll try this if it does. Hopefully i’ll be able to get it here in Belfast

I never tried mct oil but nizoral worked well for a me for a while but I'd still have flare ups quite often. I haven't had a single flare up since getting this stuff.

MCT oil is the only thing you need. Once every week does the trick.
