I have dry or sensitive skin. What should I be aware of before trying this product?

The product description includes specific precautions for sensitive, very dry, or easily irritated skin. The key action of birch tar is to help keep the skin surface cleaner and less greasy, providing a noticeable drying effect. This can be useful for skin that feels slick but may exacerbate dryness or trigger sensitivity. It is crucial to follow the guidance to start with occasional use—perhaps once a week on a specific area like the shoulders—and carefully observe how your skin feels afterwards. Look for signs of tightness, redness, flakiness, or itching. Avoid applying it to any areas with active damage, cuts, or rashes. If any irritation appears, you should stop use. For ongoing dry or sensitive skin conditions, a gentler, hydrating body cleanser is often a more suitable daily choice. This product is best considered a targeted option for specific concerns rather than a general body wash for dry skin types.
