Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You should know the fact that not everything suits on everyone. it also depends on what skin type do you have. may be you have more sensitive skin than those who have tried that. one thing that you can do is a "patch test". apply a little amount on a little area for few days and then see if it's not causing any side effects. also you shall get proper consultation from a skin specialist who can suggest you better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
