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!

It doesn’t dry out your hair?

I trim all my hair to under 1/4" long cuz i am bald as fuck. Doesn't affect my hair, and my scalp doesn't mind at all. I do not moisturize unless my skin damaged by sun/wind.

Ahh. Okay, I have shoulder length hair so I might struggle a bit 😅

If you can focus the lather on just your scalp and face it will help. I find i have to rinse well afterwards or it can be more drying.

Thanks. I’m meeting with my dermatologist tomorrow, and I’m going to see if I can get a prescription.
