"I got a tattoo on my lower leg. An area of it that was directly over my shin bone became an open wound after the skin peeled off. My derm gave me samples of Biafine and told me to apply it twice daily. I am amazed at the healing after only 3 days of application! The cream soothes the pain and promotes healing rapidly! I think whoever invented it should receive an award, as I have never had such a rapid and significant response to a medication. I highly recommend it...ask your derm about it. (P.S. - I am an RN with 35 years of experience.)"

"I was dismissed after 35 radiation treatments on my left lower leg with a huge gaping wound. (Severe radiation burn. About nine inches long, four inches wide, and probably a half inch deep on top of the left lower leg.) The radiation doctor told me to put Aquaphor on the enormous wound. What a joke. Aquaphor did absolutely nothing to help the wound. (My leg had been treated after surgery to remove a sarcoma.) Went straight home to my computer and looked up 'heal radiation burns' on Amazon. Found Biafine immediately. It completely healed that big wound in one week. AMAZING."

"Biafine was awesome at treating my dry skin areas of my elbows, knees, and feet. I live in an area where it is cold most of the time, and my skin gets super dry in the winter. Biafine treated the dryness and helped my skin heal up good."

"I had two facial skin biopsies performed by a dermatologist who gave me several packets of Polysporin to aid in wound healing. I had a horrible reaction to this salve (itching, redness, draining). I went back to this doctor who looked at the wounds and told me I had an allergic reaction, discontinued it, and substituted it with Vaseline. After several days of using Vaseline, this also didn't help at all. I went to another dermatologist who examined my wounds and gave me two sample tubes of Biafine. Within two days, I was so much better. Redness, itching, and wound weeping were down considerably. I firmly believe that if I had Biafine right away, I would not have suffered as I did."

"Burnt my arm with the car engine. The pharmacist gave me Biafine as the wound wouldn’t heal. I was impressed at how quickly the wound started to heal (it was looking ugly). I’m still using it, as this was just around 1 week ago. I will always keep one handy at home!"

"I first learned about Biafine years ago from the Adrian Leeds blog about France. She recommended it for dry skin. I have even bought it in French pharmacies when in Paris. It is much cheaper there than in the US, of course. Luckily, I can buy it online, and it is perfect for the dry skin of my face. I don't understand the warnings about it. But it is great, and I think the stuff from cosmetic companies that is overpriced is a joke. Remember, Lauder called their cream 'hope in a jar.' This really works."

"I used it during radiation therapy. It was wonderful. Prevented burns, was not greasy, and absorbed so quickly into the skin I could dress right after application without ruining clothes."
