Caladryl Calamine Lotion for Itching, Insect Bites & Poison Ivy, 6 Fl Oz

It's quite good. I accumulate a lot of mystery injuries in the woods - some from bugs, some from plants, some from rocks and some from mishandling of tools. This lotion relieves itches and pain the moment I put it on something. It's a bit runny and has no seal, so do take care when first opening it (make sure lid is fully threaded on) and when dispensing it. A very tiny amount does the job - about as much as you'd use to lotion slightly dry hands. I am immune to poison ivy, so I can't speak for how well the lotion works there. I do get bites that cause weeping welts from ants, and this stuff works instantly on those too. These ant bite welts can stick around for a week, or even months if they are pinched or scratched. I'm hoping the old welts can be healed by this too. Presently, I'm very happy with the effect and value of this Caladryl. The bottle's small and portable, very pocketable/easy to bring along into nature, and it's easy to use. Just rub it on a small wound or bite. No need to rub it in much, it'll stick to you and keep working on its own after a bit.

Got into Poison Ivy cleaning up my hedge. This is a bit thick and immediately soothed the itching and began drying it up. Great product.

Works great for a variety of bites and poison ivy

It is what it is. I’ve been using this brand for so long. My kids got bit up by mosquitoes and we were desperate for itch relief. Worked well for us. We still have plenty but when we’re out we’ll be purchasing it again.

Caladryl Calamine Lotion is a total lifesaver for skin irritation. Yes, like most calamine lotions, it can be a bit messy to apply and takes a minute to dry, but it gets the job done better than almost anything else. The combination of calamine and pramoxine provides fast, effective relief from intense itching and pain. It works exceptionally well on mosquito bites, taking away the urge to scratch.

Used a cotton ball to apply just like gramma, worked just as well as when I was a child.

Works just like it did when your parents dabbed it on your bites. A classic remedy that works at a very reasonable price.

I used it during my pregnancy. I had pups rash. It’s a type of rash that is caused due to stretch marks and I was very skeptical to apply a steroid cream during pregnancy even though the doctor said to do so, but I prefer this. It really helps with the itching.

I have known this product for many years. I like it better than generic calamine.
