Discovered New Cleansing Cream From A A Local Store. Ingredients Same As The Regular Cream. Can I Use It?
I have recently discovered cold cream at my local dollar store and I LOVE cleansing my face with it. My face is wonderfully smooth and bright and I am having less acne. I have been cleansing my face with the cold cream then using a small dab of tea tree oil directly on the pimples. Iin three days it has become much better. I was comparing the ingredients of my generic cold cream to my favorite face cream (fruit of the earth vitamin E cream) and it seems they are similar but the face cream seems to have more good things in it. Can I use this as a cleansing cream instead?

hi yes u can use it if there are no side effects .most of the vaselines in the market are comedogenic which causes acne.in earlier days every cream looks nice but if used for prolonged days it starts causing side effects like steriods.as u are telling that several good products are there it other than vitamin e,it may cause side effects in future.medicated creams have only vitamin e whose properties are known
