Product Description

Children and babies breathe in the same germs and irritants adults do, and they can find their breathing impacted just like adults. Since young children have difficulty blowing their own noses, it can be even more challenging to cleanse their nasal passages of excess mucus and irritants. Afrin PureSea Ultra-Gentle Mist is an all-natural rinse that gently and effectively cleanses nasal passages in children 6 months of age and older so they can breathe freely. Afrin PureSea Ultra-Gentle Mist is made of 100% natural-source purified sea water formulated into an isotonic, non-stinging solution. The levels of salt and trace elements and minerals in Afrin PureSea are about equal to those of your child’s body, limiting any irritation from daily, repeated use. Afrin PureSea is non-medicated and does not contain any preservatives or drugs. It can be used on babies and children to help keep them breathing freely.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and Ineffective, September 11, 2009

(What's this?)

Truthfully I was pretty excited to try this out. Several people I know have recommended a neti pot or other nasal irrigation product for my sinus problems, but I hadn't purchased anything yet.

The directions for use were somewhat lacking with this product, but seeing as how there were only 2 parts it was easy enough to figure out. One word of warning: When you put the top on the bottle, don't press down to hard as this is what releases the fluid from the bottle. I made the mistake of thinking I needed to snap the top on and got sprayed.

As for my use and results? The first time I decided to try it out in the shower because I was afraid of making a mess. I irrigated both sides and although strange it wasn't uncomfortable or as messy as I expected. The following day I just did it over the sink, which was a bit easier. The results were pretty much unnoticeable for me. My nose felt somewhat clearer, but really no different than blowing my nose or breathing in some steam.

I can't imagine buying this in the future. Maybe I'll give the neti pot a try and see if that is any better. At least with that I've been told it's refillable, something this isn't and for the price you pay it should be.

2.0 out of 5 stars Much less expensive alternatives, July 26, 2009

(What's this?)

Using salt water to rinse the nasal passages has been practiced and effective since before the invention of the wheel. The ingredients are, let's see....salt and water. About 1/4 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of water seems to do the trick. The method of delivery using a neti pot was popularized to the book club masses in Dr. Oz's book, YOU The Owner's Manual and his Oprah appearances. It's a bidet for your nose. With most products, you expect to pay a premium for convenience. All that effort to spoon the salt in the pot and stir is exhausting. This product allows you to just irrigate and go. But as other reviewers have said, the cost of that convenience is enormous! Even the least expensive vendor charges around $10 including shipping. Contrast that with a 52 ounce bag of sea salt sold on Amazon at about the same price. That makes 300 teaspoons or about 1200 rinses, compared with PureSea's 4 rinses. The math here gets humorous because to be equal, that bag of salt would have to cost $3000. Minus the $20 Neti pot of course. You could skip that purchase and use the pantry gravy boat instead if you wanted to save even more. Irrigating the nasal passages gives amazing relief to allergy sufferers. This product works well and might be a good idea if you need it while traveling or to keep in your bag for some nasal emergency. But at that price point it seems like flushing money down the drain...literally.

Afrin PureSea Hydrating Nasal Rinse functions as expected. A salt water solution does hydrate your nasal passages. For me, that's far better than any other chemical formula that usually has a serious rebound effect.

However, there's a high price for the convenience of this product. A netti pot has the identical result without the cost. This item might be convenient for travelling, however.

In essence, Afrin PureSea is quite good. It's just up to the consumer to decide if it's worth the money.
