    It really softens the skin and no there are no side effects. As it dries it tightens the skin and once it is washed off it leaves your skin feeling really nice. Once a week is average for applying. Also many people use oatmeal as a cleanser to scrub the pores. Many household products work as well if not better than the expensive products in the stores.
