Joedy, In my opinion, if something is causing you pain, it should not be used. Ingredients are listed in order of predominance. So, the first ingredient listed is at the highest concentration in the product and so on. You are basically paying for the first three ingred. in a product and if one wants to be a savvy shopper for shaving/skincare products, it would behoove everyone to keep this in mind when making purchases. The first ingred. for Tend Skin is alcohol. I should hope by now that everyone knows that this is extremely dehydrating for the skin and should not be used. The salicylic works by dissolving dead skin cells. Once the dead skin is removed, the trapped ingrown hair can liberate itself. I am going to do a separate post hopefully by this weekend addressing glycolic acid and why I don't particularly like it. In general, people are using way too many products with way too many active ingredients from cleansers to scrubs to moisturizers and this is too agressive in my opinion with regards to maintaining the integrity of the skin.
