I have been plagued by fungus for 40 years. I have tried every cream and spray there is. Tinactin works as well as any and the pump spray works much better than the cream or the aerosol. It is less messy, less waste, and it controls the fungus better. It appears to cover better and penetrate better. In any case, regular use keeps things under control.

I would have given it 5 stars, but it is not a cure. If I stop using it, the fungus returns. As far as I know, there are no cures.

The cream is the next best, but is very messy. The fungus seems to return more quickly than with the pump spray.

The aerosol is the least effective and probably the most wasteful.

I got this because I've been using the Tinactin Antifungal Aerosol Liquid Spray, Value Size 5.3 oz (150 g) (Costco used to sell it at a great price, no more). I originally got it for preventative use when hiking. After a few uses, I noticed the crud that accumulates under my big toenails was not, or at least was not turing black. It appears (supposition on my part) that Tinactin prevents growth of whatever bug/fungus that grows in toenail crud. An interesting side effect of that appears to be much less smelly feet after working out in tennis shoes! Even cooler, I have bought three pairs of tennis shoes (OK, they're skateboarding shoes - iPaths), have worn them for six-months, and they do not smell! Seriously! So, I use this stuff every day! When I found I could get it in a pump spray bottle, I went for it. Works fine, less stuff into the air to inhale, and lots of product in the bottle. What more can you ask?
Woulda been 5-stars if it was a trigger bottle. Sometimes the pump head rotates a bit and the spray goes awry...

Great product because of it's primary anti-fungal ingredients. However, it does have alcohol in it, and it stings if there there is irritation in any area you might spray it. As a preventative, it's a good product for jock itch, athelete's foot, etc. Just be careful ... :)

Most effective antifungal I've found. Pump controls spray better than arisol and does not create a cloud. Not messy like creams and powders.

My feet feel and look better...this is some good stuff!.....i like that it is not messy! and drys quick....good stuff try it.

Tinactin in the Pump Spray is the best value in the tinactin line of spray products. I prefer the liquid spray pump bottle over the powder spray aerosol can because it is a smaller bottle, doesn't creat a 'cloud' and I can control the application better. As a military man (now retired) I initially turned to Tinactin after trying other brands. Tinactin killed the athletes foot and in my research online I discovered that it is safe to use as preventive maintenance (PM) also. When you wear combat boots for 18 hours a day, you have to be proactive in protecting your feet.

I now live in Florida and if I know it's going to be a day where I am mostly outside in humidity, I'll spray on the tinactin. Same goes for trips to the gym and especially if I use any public shower facilities. Even if you wear shower shoes, the PM value of this product sure beats the horrible pain and smell of foot rot.
