Customer Reviews of Calmoseptine Ointment Tube 4 Oz - 3 /Pack
Customer Review: Really Works For My Eczema
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
