the only benefit to this over the gold bond is that it does not peel [SEP] i did not dislike this product but i found rough bumpy by gold bond to be just as effective if not more so the only benefit to this over the gold bond is that it does not peel the gold bond rough bumpy will leave skin flakes everywhere so you have to wear long sleeves pants when using it that being said i ll save my money and go with the less expensive and equally as effective product
