Geri-Hydrolac Reviews

For Dry Skin "I'm back of being a healthy, attractive African American woman! Because four years ago, my world was turned upside down. How so? A brown recluse spider bit me!! And it left an ugly big scar patch on the right side of my face. I tried everything over the counter and natural remedies; upon reducing the appearance, nothing worked! My doctor prescribed Geri-Hydrolac lotion, which definitely helped! But I need to note: if you're an African American person, you need to know; using this product, you have to avoid direct sunlight! Because it will cook your skin and make you turn very, very dark!! My suggestion: shower at night, towel dry your skin, then apply the Geri-Hydrolac lotion all over, because you want your skin to look even. Con't, wait 10 - 15 minutes before you put on your pajamas. Second suggestion: in the morning, quickly rinse off your whole body in semi-cold shower water, towel dry your skin, then use a light skin moisturizer with sunscreen protection."
