Reviews

The son went with his class to sports competitions, from where he brought not only a lot of emotions and impressions, but also a gift in the form lice. The benzyl benzoate emulsion helped us out. She treated her head with her son, according to the instructions. The effect was obvious after the first treatment. It is not very convenient that you have to choose nits yourself. Indeed, otherwise, new offspring may appear. However, with careful implementation of this procedure, the result will not be long in coming. I recommend the drug is very good and very inexpensive.

Benzyl benzoate cream had to be used more than once, since I have three children. Easy to use, great effect and low cost. The lack of exposure to eggs of parasites is the only drawback of this drug. When applied for the first time, they did not pay much attention to this nuance. And after 5-7 days, the daughter’s head was again strewn with lice. Now, as a fixation, I will definitely do the reprocessing to finally get rid of lice. So far, the remedy has failed.

I am ashamed to admit, but at the age of 30 I was faced with head lice. Where did lice come from?I still can’t understand. I think that this happened during a trip in a minibus. There was a very strong crush, and apparently someone standing nearby became the source of my problems. The pharmacy offered me a lot of different drugs for licebut I was attracted by the cost and reviews of the benzyl benzoate emulsion. I bought it, came home, did 2 treatments and forgot about lice, like a nightmare. I advise a very effective drug.
