Medline Remedy Essentials Zinc Oxide Skin Protectant Paste (4 oz Tube), Unscented, Barrier, Incontinence Cream, Diaper Rash, Adults, Elderly, Hypoallergenic, Paraben Free

This has really helped heal a patch of eczema that I struggled with during the hot summer months. I tried a lot of different creams, ointments plus hydrocolloidal patches, to keep broken irritated skin covered and to prevent itch, and nothing was really helping until I stumbled on a suggestion to try this. It does leave a white cast, so be prepared if the skin is not hidden under clothing. Does a great job keeping the skin from itching. Helped with a few insect bites too - used overnight and they were almost gone in two days - and they were really red, raised and itchy! Very affordable and Medline Remedy makes some really good products.

I have tried several products trying to clear up and hopefully prevent irritation in “certain “ areas. This paste has done both for me! I use it after each shower and have not suffered from a rash or inflammation or itch or irritation since I started using it! I am so thrilled to have found something that works well. I’m grateful to everyone before me who took time to write a review- they helped me a lot! It’s important to know that a little goes a long way.

It heals as it protects. Very satisfied

100% buena

Review Calibration: A 3-star review means the product met all expectations, the advertising statements, and the stated specifications. To get additional stars means the product performed better than similar products I have tried, exceeded expectations, was easier to use, exceeded the specifications, etc. To get fewer stars is obvious. This product is very thick and viscous, almost like a paste. To spread it easily, it needs to sit on the skin for a couple of minutes to heat up. This stuff works well when there are sores on the legs and protection during healing is needed. My Mom uses it under her compression hose and leg wraps. This is not her favorite cream because of the spreading issue, but if she ever gets a sore or the legs get tender, this is what she grabs.

Excellent moisture barrier.

Had a bad rash in my groin for over a year, went to 3 dermatologist with no cure. This product got rid of the rash with the first days!

gives quick relief.

This cream is the best for eczema and skin break

Baby has chronic diaper rash. We use Ihles paste at home and had trouble finding a squeezable tube for the diaper bag. This one works best! Squeeze a line down the down, don't even need to use your fingers, spread with the diaper and close it up. We've tried 6 other brands (like aquaphor and desitin) and even putting the Ihles paste into a reusable tube (this was a very impossible task) and nothing else worked as well.

Excellent for very dry, cracked skin. Best used at the end of the day after work as it leaves a thick greasy film. Give it a few hours to work undisturbed.

I use this around my feeding tube. Works better than what I’m supplied with. Plus it doesn’t irritate my skin.

A thinner Zinc based cream not as thick so I like it better for applying as a barrier cream on pressure wound on sacrum
