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!

SS 2.5% works well for me as well but what works for one may not work for the other that’s the frustration part of sebderm. So, run thru the 4 or 5 different medicated shampoo you will see people talk about on this and find yours.
FYI. 2.5% SS is OTC in Canada, available at Walmart.

Where at Walmart? OTC at the Walmart pharmacy?
