So the other day I received a couple of products from the Stallex line, a skin care line created by Park Avenue Dermatologist Dr. Neal B. Schultz. I was excited to try them out, because I had heard some buzz on the line and because among the products was an herbal bruising remedy (which, if it worked as advertised, would be my favorite thing ever!) I also tried their level 3 hydrate and soften lotion. Unfortunately, I thought both of them were gross. I should start off by saying that I have normal skin. Not a lot irritates it. I’m incredibly pale and get a blemish every now and then, but for the most part, it’s completely average.
The first product I tried was the herbal bruising remedy. I noticed it smelled slightly of alcohol, but I rubbed it on a particularly nasty bruise on my leg anyway. It begin to tingle almost instantly, but I wrote it off, hoping it was just working it’s magic. Then the tingling turned to itching and my skin was red where I had put it on. Gross. 25 minutes later and my leg is still itchy. The directions say to apply it to a bruise 5-10 times a day. Great, then you can spend the rest of your day trying not to go crazy from how itchy and dry that patch of your skin has become.
