My skin always gets flaky, even if only a tiny amount is used. My skin doesn't feel dry or anything, it's just literarily flaky, kinda like sunburn but doesn't hurt. When this happens I just gently rub it off then apply a rich layer of Healing Cream from Mario Badescu and off I go.
works for chafe, works for "senior pimple" if you are up in age, worked on severe breakout of Acne Vulgaris, works quickly if not 'gobbed" on approx 2 days, allows sparing use so it will be in medicine cabinet longer-wont have to re buy, use sparingly
slight burning sensation if you have delicate skin
evens skin tone, good for red scarring after spots, dries out spots, gets rid of blackheads.
stings a bit-- but atleast you can feel its working.
clears really good for oliy skin
smells OK
stings, may not work well with whiteheads
Nixoderm has worked magic for me, I have very oily out of control skin which breaks out severely when it comes and stays for ages. I used nixoderm at night after cleansing my face, there was an improvement in the redness overnight, continued to use it for the last couple of weeks and the smaller pimples have gone and the larger ones minimised and definately not as aggressive as before, they aren't as sore either. This product works wonders for the scarring too. I am impressed!
Doesn't smell too great.
Burns and tingles, the more you use, the worse it burns and tingles.
Tin is awkward to open- it's got a screw top not like a vaseline tin that lifts off.
Don't use after applying prescribed creams as I made this mistake, both together burnt my skin, it looked as though I had sunburn then my skin became flaky. (I've been using an oil free exfoliating facial scrub in the morning for this then an oil free moisturiser which seems to be working for me
i use it for discoloration and irritated skin on my face, not acne it works very well, use at night
burns and tingles
dries up puss-filled pimples. reduces redness/inflammation. doesn't smell
wipes off easily.
kills bacteria fast and reduces reness over night
can cause hyperpicmentation
clears face, actually works
needs to be in a tube not can. smells badly. white thing is always on my bedsheets at night. hurts! but its worth it use tissue to wash offf
Pros:
This is the only thing actually works on cystic acnes. The next best thing would be the Buffering Lotion from Mario Badescu which works much slower. It doesn't erase the big pimple overnight but makes it significantly smaller, flatter and less red and sore. The smell is ok, the tingling is bearable(just think about the psychological and physical pain caused by your pimple!). It comes off easily but I only use it at night, the only trouble is having to wash sheets and covers more often!
