Very effective! This is our go-to for all skin-related issues that require anticrobials

This product moistures my skin immensely.I have not used it on my face; only feet and now arms.

For years I suffered from a scalp infection that would not go away. Working in some nasty environments is probably the source of the infection. I went to my primary as well as to skin specialists ('ists' plural, mind you) and all to no avail. From emergency 'walk ins' to specialists all were stumped. I tried antibiotics off and on for years along with a whole host of home remedies and was met with failure at each turn. I read online about others who suffered similar sounding maladies consisting of crusty orange colored discharges and sores on their scalp accompanied by very intense itching. All were desperate for a diagnosis and a cure. When I read about the properties of colloidal silver I figured that it made sense to at least try that also. The 'buck' stopped there! From the very first time using it on my scalp and taking some internally I noticed a difference (the itching was the first thing to stop). Within a week the worse part was healing. I have stayed with the program and even increased my intake daily by doubling down. It's been a few months and this infection of over ten years is finally gone. I'm no longer scratching furiously at my scalp and even being woke up from a sound sleep by it. In addition I feel generally as though I've recovered from a long illness and have strength and stamina I had slowly lost over the last decade. I notice that my skin heals faster than it had been. I have incorporated silver based products in other areas of my life now....from gels to sprays and mists. I combine a protein based high count silver with a low count ionic solution which in my mind would serve to make sure that no stow-away bugs were hitching a ride on the 'protein' based delivery system. The protein based is taken in the hopes that it helps the body retain the silver longer and delivers it to a deeper level than ionic silver alone might penetrate. I eat yogurt every morning to help maintain a healthy intestinal flora and take the bulk of my daily dose in the evening. I nurse the dosage in a half bottle of water over the course of an hour.For the skeptics I say that there must be a reason that you're reading this review. If so, I was once of your frame of mind. What do you have to lose try it? I have no reason to lie to you and I have better things to do with my time than to write long winded reviews. My only motivation is to share my story in the hope that it helps someone who is searching for answers as was I. My only request of you is that when it works for you that you post a review and help get the word out.

I like this gel & I do think it speeds healing time of adult hormonal acne. I don't suffer from anything severe, but I'm an esthetician & clients expect their skincare specialists 2 have perfect skin (cut us a break, we're human w/ hormones too! Lol) I use tretinoin, the genetic form of Retin-A every night & it is great not only 4 cell turnover & preventing clogged pores & acne, but lines & wrinkles also. I'm 33 w/ basically none. However, you need 2 stop the retinoids before using acids or other acne products for at least a few days or it can just be too much. I like 2 have a daytime antibacterial & anti-inflammatory on under makeup & the sun makes retinoids ineffective (if u see them in a day cream, don't water your $, it's just marketing) i had read about colloidal silver & wanted 2 try 1. I really believe adding this to post inflammatory redness & marking has helped 2 clear it faster, even than the Vit C i always use or at least in addition to. It's found a lot of uses beyond what I bought it for also. My slight keratosis pilaris on my legs, i use Amalactin or another exfoliant & that controls it along w/ lots of moisture, but u can still get red spots (as anyone w/ kp "chicken skin" knows) the red dots are basically gone, my legs are so even tones & clear. I've also used it on brusing, but i believe that is not 1 of it's strong suits. It just can't penetrate 2 make a difference there. However, on my Dad's ezcema & psoriasis, i believe it has toned down redness & swelling. When u add this 2 an area affected by plaque psorisis, be sure u are cleansing the area 1-2xs a day thoroughly, don't make yourself bleed, but the product works best if it can penetrate into already moist skin & it will create a hard, scaling over the lesion if u just add more & more over itself.Back 2 acne, because this can be used in combo w/ other acne products w/ no issue, i like 2 apply my nighttime skin routine & then dap a bit of this over any spots as a last step. I don't rub it in, & leave it overnight. Rednesz is always less in the morn. If nothing else, it will prevent your acne products from drying your skin & leaving a spot flaky & icky.Now, the reason there is 4 stars & not 5. It contains TEA (& I'm not talking about the green kind) this is Triethanolamine. Used in skin care to help a product mesh together, as in oil & water, as an emulsifier. Though there is not really a need for it here; the carbomer will keep the silver ppm & deionized water suspended together for application. TEA also has a use as a pH adjustor, which i assume is more it's function here as skin's pH ranges from 4.5-5.5 & products can penetrate & ne more effective closer to that range (though there are many others on the market also). My issue stems from it's parents. Derived from ethylene oxide (considered highly toxic) with ammonia (another known toxin), there are enough non-toxic ph adjustors that another could be chosen. While TEA has been deemed "safe" for use in skincare & even to assist in the chemical peeling of foods like tomatoes or oranges, we've seen almost no regulate of the skincare market by the FDA in the US & other "non-toxic" additives have caused severe allergic reactions, breakouts & sensitivites in the past.In fact, the US Cosmetic Ingredient Review has investigated this ingredient multiple times with their current ruling of suggested use being : that it should be "discontinuous"(not constant), "brief use followed by thorough rinsing from the surface of the skin". Now, I did not follow this thoroughly by leaving it on overnight & it did not irritate my skin or cause a reaction & it make be the ingredient is found in small enough quantities that most would never experience an issue. However, I wanted 2 leave it in a comment. I got into skincare to make people aware of what they were using on their skin & how it needed 2 be taken care of, & i feel like i needed 2 mention this here. I took a chance 2 try it as I often do w/ new products to use myself as the guinea pig r clients info, & this worked well & I'm glad i tried it, just be aware if u are using this on children, especially babies, that it's there & it def cannot be ingested, so do not use it on small children if they will put that area in their mouth. God luck!
