Skin cap

[Chrisray]

Hello,

First post, suffered with P for 25 years, Im only 29. tuff life as everybody knows. I used to get this stuff skin cap. Cleared my skin in 2 days. It worked great. Now its been banned. Im broken out, no insurance, and have been looking on internet for skin cap and I heard about Psor Val that is supposedly same ingrediant and works better. I want to order this immediately since it worked so well. Has anybody else tried doing that, or have heard of Psor Val, or even if the skin cap on the web still works, it says its by the same corporation. Please let me know if anybody else has tried or heard about these two products. Skin cap was the best and I hope its still the same as a couple years ago before it was banned. Thanx for all your help, and Im glad Im not alone having to deal with this. I wish all of you the best. Thanx for any feed back on my question!!!!

Hello Chrisray and

Scin Cap was banned by the FDA after independent lab tests found it contained steroids, at least four different steroids have been found in different versions of the product. It was first banned in Spain and as far as I know is banned throughout Europe. The main ingredient Zinc Pyrithione is used as an antifungal and antibacterial agent.

PsorVal Spray includes the exact same ingredients as SkinCap / BlueCap, plus two additional ingredients which facilitates better absorption. here is the list of ingredients.

Isopropyl Myristate, SDA 40B Alcohol, Zinc Pyrithione, Polysorbate 80, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Hydrocortisone 1%, PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether.

Zinc pyrithione is approved for over-the-counter topical use in the United States as a treatment for dandruff and is the active ingredient in several anti-dandruff shampoos. However, in its industrial forms and strengths, it may be harmful by contact or ingestion.

Zinc pyrithione can trigger a variety of responses

I've never used it myself, and wouldn't be to keen to try a product that has the same ingredients as one that was banned.

May not give the same results without the steroids but if you do try it please give us your feedback.
