Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I love this product! I've been using it for over seven years now. I have oily skin and, back in my twenties, horrible adult acne. I cured my acne within a couple of months of starting this product. Even now, if I skip a day or use something else, I'll get a breakout. The 32 oz refill size is the best buy. I fill a little squeeze bottle halfway and top off the bottle with water (50:50 dilution). To use, I sprinkle a little on a warm, wet washcloth and scrub gently. (I've found that scrubbing too hard or using the product more than once a day makes my face raw, although I'll occasionally use it twice in one day if my face is especially oily, sweaty, or dirty.) I've also successfully used it to treat my blepharitis (oily eyelid condition) and prevent the styes arising from blepharitis by very carefully rubbing the suds on my eyelids and along the margin of my eyelashes with my fingertips. NOTE: This product burns if it gets in the eyes! It also tends to dry the skin around the eyes -- I dilute very well, use it sparingly, and don't use it more than once a day. DISCLAIMER: I mentioned some medical conditions in this review. I'm not a doctor. I'm just a consumer who is describing her experiences with this product. Of course, use common sense and see your doctor first if you have any skin or eyelid condition for which you want to use this product.
