I have used Plexaderm in the past but wanted a "cheaper" product. I shopped around and bought one after a lot of research and reading reviews. Suffice to say that the product I chose did not at all live up to the immediate results I have had with Plexaderm. Plexaderm leaves no residuals on the applied areas and lasts for over 8 hours! When and if I need to reapply, I simply wash off the old, dry and put on a new thin layer! I do like the new dispenser, no clogging or watery productl, although it will be difficult to know when you are getting low. I will not switch back to another!
