Advantages: Could work

Disadvantages: Dried my skin up terribley!

Ack! I used this product for 2 and a half months and for the first month and a half I had no side effects, even got another bottle for when I ran out! But things took a huge turn for the worse right after that.

It over dries my skin completley I learned, I have eczema all over my body where I used it. I do mean EVERYWHERE. Chest, back, neck, armpits, torso, groin area... it's awful and it itches like crazy! It took me a while to learn what was causing it but I finaly did. It started with just 3 small spots on my torso which grew and grew. I thought I was getting zits there so I washed even more furiously, and I started getting them everywhere.

Well needless to say at this point I figured it was something else (since the patches were dry and itchy) and the doctor said it could be shingles (which I've had before and it did resemble a LOT, but it could be eczema) so after taking some anti-virals, I learned it wasn't shingles! Bam eczema, which I've never had before in my life.

Truley terrible, so I stopped using the wash and I'll see what happens, thing is I'm 99% positive it's what caused it, it's the only thing I've changed in the last couple months and I have a habit of not washing my legs as much (which is the only place on my body, aside from my face which I use a cleanser for which doesn't have it!).

So didn't work for me, in fact it made things a lot worse, but I think I have sensitive skin (my knuckles are even dry and flaking :( ) Ughhh this horribley itching needs to stop!

Summary: The cleanser over dried my skin and caused an eczema break out over my entire body.
