Re: Biochem moisturizer warning

As a longtime victim of problems with sensitive skin, many caused
by medications prescribed by doctors, I will repeat what I am sure
I have told you all before.  I had terrible skin problems for years, went
through a whole procession of dermatologists, etc.  Now I use 
nothing on my face except milk, and even get compliments on
my skin - which hadn't happened for fifty years of so.  It's cost
effective, too.  At least give it a try - can't hurt.
