Customer Reviews of Benadryl Topical Itch Stopping Spray, Extra Strength, 2-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 4)
Customer Review: It does work very well. BUT I turned out to be allergic to it!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Warning: You may be allergic to diphenhydramine hydrochloride in Benadryl. Some are allergic to this orally and others only as a topical. Some who take Benadryl say it was the red dye in the oral form, but I don't know about that. But topical and oral reactions to Benadryl's active ingredient are documented, see here for published journals since 1983- [...]. Again, Benadryl anti-itch works great, unless you are allergic to it.Customer Review: A sticky, useless mess.
Summary: 2 Stars
I practically live outside from the months of April through October. Because I have extremely sensitive skin, this means that I'm usually afflicted with a rash or two throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons. Poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, thistle rashes, allergic reactions to bug bites - if you can name it, I've had it. Consequently, I've tried a ton of topical, OTC anti-itch remedies, including but not limited to: Benadryl spray, Calamine lotion, Cortizone 10, Ivy Dry, Caladryl Clear, Aveeno anti-itch lotion, Tea Tree gel, Aloe Vera Supergel, Calagel - Boudreaux's Butt Paste, even!
The Benadryl brand Topical Itch Stopping Spray ranks near the bottom of the list in terms of effectiveness and convenience. It really doesn't help alleviate the itchiness of contact dermatitis rashes or insect bites. Also, the spray is rather sticky and tends to gum up the spray mechanism.
Thus far, the best product I've tried is Ivy Dry, which comes in both a cream and spray form. While I've found that the cream is more effective, the spray also works well. I recommend either over the Benadryl spray. I use each in conjunction with Neosporin (or a similar generic), in order to speed up healing time.
Customer Review: Like glue.
Summary: 1 Stars
It does help with the itching, but is like wearing a patch of very sticky glue. I buy Wal-dryl spray from Walgreens. Stops itching without the glue.
