...hasn't worked for me. I have been applying it twice daily for three or four weeks and my skin is as oily as ever.
Dr. Pickart, you wanted people to report their experiences with the product, so I figured I would weigh in.
I am applying 3-4 drops each time...would it help if I applied more? (Like half a teaspoon?)I even tried exfoliating my face with SA 2% FIRST...and then applying the Sebum Be Gone immediately afterward on my newly exfoliated skin, thinking my skin would be more receptive to the product, but....nothing. No change.
Does anyone know if topical green tea extract normalizes oily skin? I seem to remember reading that somewhere on the Internet, but of course now I can't find it!
I still believe that nothing but an INTERNAL approach will ever be able to normalize oily skin. Topicals just don't seem to cut it (at least for me, anyway).
Thanks-
John

Dear John:
Thanks for at least telling us how things have been working out for you.
You might try increasing the application a little bit. But it may not work for everyone.
Those for whom it has worked for have reported less sheen at the end of the day.
Have you tried the salicylic acid and CP Serum? or Super CP Serum? We've had estheticians (and clients) report that often CP Serum helps reduce excessive skin oil in the T-Zone area. Why not try it?
Keep in mind that everyone's skin is different, so what works for some may not work for all.

Thanks for the report. Responses are running about 5 to 1 saying that it reduces sebum. But it may not work for everyone.
