Before there was Cerave, Neutrogena, or La Roche Posay, there was Nixoderm. Nixoderm was and is still used in the treatment of various skin infections. It was said to help with skin infections such as eczema, Ringworm, Pimples, and much more.
However, with the boom of anti-acne formulations from reputable skin brands, most individuals abandoned good old Nixoderm for newer solutions.
Nixoderm for skin problems
Nixoderm treats a myriad of skin issues: eczema, rashes, athlete’s foot, ringworm, and scaling skin; it also treats pimples, acne and blemishes that may occur as a result of it.
Nixoderm was formulated with active ingredients: 2.5% salicylic acid (perfect for anti-acne purposes), 6% benzoic acid and 4.6% precipitated yellow Sulphur.
Though the product is formulated with acne treatment as one of its purposes, some might argue that Nixoderm is too harsh for acne treatment, especially for specific skin types. Many reviews online weigh the pros and cons of using Nixoderm. Here are a few highlights from some users.
