5.0 out of 5 stars Stops my intimate rashes and provides relief., April 15, 2011

By 

Tree Squirrel (Fort Worth, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calmoseptine Ointment Tube 4 Oz - 3 /Pack (Health and Beauty)

Where has this been all my life? My intimate area is prone to rashes, especially around the monthly time or anytime I may sweat. I've tried so many diaper rash creams, ointments, sprays and powders -- all to no success. Finally, Calmoseptine works! It leaves me with a cooling sensation, which lasts for some time. Within a day, the rash is healed or almost healed. I've yet to have to use this ointment for more than two days. In the past, I've used other creams and such for up to a week, dealing with the uncomfortable pain along the way. Of course, Calmoseptine is messy and sticky, but this is a small price to pay for intimate relief! Highly recommended to females suffering from southern discomforts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Works For My Eczema, December 15, 2010

Bottom Line
After seeing a week and a half eczema breakout disappear in just 2 days I have not found another medication that can IMMEDIATELY calm a severe breakout as well as Calmoseptine. It's not perfect in every other regard, being messy, hard to wash off and medicinal in smell. However, these are really minor cons and it has exceeded all my expectations for an eczema ointment. Rave reviews aside, while it works for many of us, buy one tube and try it to see if it works before committing to more.

Pros:
Cools and STOPS the itch when applied sufficiently (hint: visibly re-cover any emerging red/itchy/hot spots)
Visibly reduces swelling and halts breakouts
Heals and protects broken skin
Great Price for efficacy
Each sufficient application lasts hours
Great for listed purposes
Feels awesome when water is applied (won't affect wounds as Calmoseptine is waterproof)
No steroids with active ingredients of Menthol and Zinc oxide

Cons:
Probably lasts TOO long (gets sticky after a while)
Hard to wash off (you don't need to before applying, just clean the area with mild soap)
Very Gooey and quite Messy

Neutral:
Hard to get out of tube (though you only need a little)
Smells strongly, though not offensively, like hydrocortisone
Leaves a pinkish light hue (actually a pro if you like how it conceals the redness)

Review:
As any eczema sufferer would tell you, we are always DESPERATE for the "cure" to allay our eczema breakouts. We already know it's a futile search as there's no such a thing as curing eczema. That said ANYTHING that can prevent, stop, or treat a breakout will be bought and used but I have a lot of experience and never expected Calmoseptine to work. I mean I did think it may help the itch or treat insect bites but not necessarily treat the breakout itself.

Amazingly, it is to date the most effective ointment for treating, preventing, and stopping my eczema. Like many other sufferers, I have tried many prescription and over the counter products. Hydrocortisone doesn't work for me and betamethazone (which was the most effective out of all the topical steroids) was something my grandmother gave to me but I ran out of. Steroids were never good for the long term so I continued looking for something that would at least stop the itch. I went to look for the active ingredients of an Asian itch stopper called mopiko-s. Mopiko-S still can't be beat in how fast it treats itch on contact but it lasts a maximum of 10 minutes with one easily used ounce costing $4-$5. Mopiko-S had camphor and menthol as active ingredients, so I looked for the closest product available in the states. Closest I found was Calmoseptine, and I am not disappointed. Like mopiko if you apply water it is very cooling and soothing. Unlike mopiko it continues to cool for around 3 hours after application and protects your skin from outside moisture and bacteria.

On the note of Calmoseptine being messy and gooey, another thing any eczema sufferer would tell you is that we would bathe ourselves in diluted bleach (tried and true treatment), sleep on air mattresses, cover ourselves in oatmeal, and eat weird and nasty things JUST to make the eczema less itchy for an hour or two. The mess that this thing creates is NOTHING compared to the relief it provides and the sacrifices we're already USED to making. Since this was the only product I used that VISIBLY reduced the swelling of my breakout in 5-20 minutes and lasted for hours, the cons really are like nothing. For $7, I'd run not walk to get more whenever I had a breakout.

Lastly, despite my extreme satisfaction with this product do be sure to buy just one tube of this from a drug store before plopping down $20. Eczema is a HIGHLY individual ailment, and while $20 is nothing if it works, it is a waste if it doesn't. For me, and many others, however, this is a miracle ointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stops Skin Breakdown Dead, August 1, 2010

By 

Marji Piech - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calmoseptine Ointment Tube 4 Oz - 3 /Pack (Health and Beauty)

I've had a feeding tube for over 8 years and had a *severe* problem with breakdown of the stoma right at the beginning that left me very prone to leakage and thus site breakdown. Over the years I've done and used just about everything in attempts to (1) prevent breakdown and irritation and (2) heal it quickly when it happens. (I really mean everything--all the way to constant stomach decompression--suction--and using a modified ostomy bag.

During a recent hospital stay the breakdown appeared and got ugly quickly as my body simply had no resources to deal with it. The wound care nurse was called in and "designed" a dressing that began with stoma powder, Calmoseptine, and then more stoma powder. While the dressing had to be changed frequently for the first few days (because the stoma leakage was almost nonstop) the positive change in the wound was visible within 36 hours--that awful read, meaty look gave way to just an irritated look on a significant portion of the wound. Further within 72 hours the area looked amazingly improved and within 5 days it looked, well, wonderful.

Calmoseptine just plain works--and without stinging upon application or any odor. It's think enough to stick but spreads easily. As far as I'm concerned it should be in everyone's wound care bag.
