Are you guys using Nizoral at the 1% or 2% strength?

Yeah, 2% requires a prescription here in the States but I think you can buy it over the counter in Canada. It says what strength it is on the back of the box under Active Ingredient. I just bought some myself but I'm not ready to use it yet.

Have you noticed if the Nizoral dries out your skin very much?

Yeah I think it does cause it is cleaning the skin more and makes it drier for brief period of time than me just having a shower without the nizoral. This could also be the revivogen and how it is a cleanser for hair also which could dry my skin out also. I am also applying revivogen topically just to the space in between my eyebrows and leaving it on, I am applying it 2 times a day and see if it has any effects on the oilyness there for 2 weeks but I am still trying my revivogen and nizoral only on my nose area in the shower every night for 3 minutes each and washing off, so after that I apply the revivogen in between my brows. I also apply topical vitamin a (thevitamincure) to my whole face (except inbetween brows) which is the only thing I have tried so far that stops my acne and will see anything stops my oily skin and report. Keep posting guys!

Got this off of CVS website.


Active Ingredient: Benzoyl Peroxide (10%). Inactive Ingredients: Cetearyl Alcohol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Lactic Acid, Mineral PEG-14M, Potassium Lauryl Sulfate, Purified Water, Silica, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Titanium Dioxide, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch.

I've seen improvement in reduction of oily skin. It is not an end all be all but is working non the less.

I used a topical spiro cream for a while, never saw any benefit from an oily-skin perspective. Have not seen a visible benefit from OTC Nizoral either, just seems to really dry out my skin temporarily. Just throwing in my two cents.

It's appreciated man since you just reassured me, thanks man.
Yeah it didn't work for me also but I only did it for 2 weeks but I am still looking for a solution and will report if I ever find one. Keep strong oily people.
