Review: Useful Handy Tube To Have Around - Travelling to the Caribbean islands where the unwanted guests of mosquitoes are always present. You can try and prevent the bites with sprays but they will always find you for their meal. This little tube (comes in a pack of 5) is very effective at calming, soothing and relieving the bites. After a few minutes the itching has subsided and you carry on with little to no discomfort. Worth having a tube with you abroad in such climates. We pack in all carry bags just in case.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you put this down bellow?**
A: I do, I have been prescribed 1% hydrocortisone creams in the past for down below and it saves me going to the doctors for what I know to be a flare up of dermatitis, having said that I've never had to apply more than one dose every time

**Q: Is This ok to use in your ears  please**
A: On the surface and outside the ear is fine but not inside the ear where only products designed for this purpose should be used e.g. ear drops.

**Q: Is this product safe to use on split, chapped lips?**
A: Safety aside...this is not an appropriate product for that purpose. I would use a product designed for cracked, chapped lips...for example, Blistex.

**Q: Does it contain sulfa or benzoit**
A: No...it's 1%hydrocortisone (a mild steroid) in a standard cream base (water,soft paraffin,liquid paraffin, emulsifying wax)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well but tube half full of air
*by S***Y on 9 December 2025*

It does work quite well and stops the itching. But when you squeeze the tube you get the initial bit of cream come out, but then you have to squeeze about half the tube to get any more. I’m sure it’s 10g but half the tube is air.
