Skin Care Review: Strixaderm-MD Anti-Wrinkle Stretch Mark Removal Cream

Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
supposed to correct discoloration from damaged skin, stimulate skin cell renewal.

Drawbacks
caused an itchy red rash like poison ivy on my face, neck, and chest.

Details
I am 57 years old with fair complexion and normal skin (not too dry or oily). I don't have serious wrinkling, but do have some small patches of discoloration showing up(like large freckles), due to years of sun exposure. I thought this sounded like a reasonable price for something that might help the appearance of my skin, and had no risks attached. I was wrong! After three days of applying the lotion as directed to my face, neck, and upper chest I broke out in a horribly itchy raised red rash. I have an appointment with a dermatologist to see if anything can be done to clear it up. I've had it for two weeks and nothing I've tried has helped.

Conclusions
I would not use this product without careful skin testing first.
