For Minor Skin Irritation "I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis of the vulva. I suffered severe itch, shedding of skin, cuts, and burning pain after urination. After many visits to the hospital, specialists, and expensive compound ointments made, I came across Calmoseptine in a chemist and thought, why not? I applied a few times a day. Initially, it stung for a few seconds, but then gave a cool, tingly feeling. The itch stopped, it provided a barrier during ruination, and healed the cuts in a few days. The skin in that area healed, and I haven’t had any symptoms for years. Every now and then, if I get a flare-up, I apply, and the symptoms usually disappear within a few days."

For Minor Skin Irritation "I had raw buttocks (inside cheeks), uncertain cause. Accompanied by pruritus. Dermatologist or internal doctors did not recommend any product. I tried butt paste. It helped itching slightly, but the raw appearance didn’t improve. After research, I came across mixed reviews on Calmoseptine. I felt, what the heck. I really have nothing to lose. The biggest complaint was some slight burning from the product. If scratching the area, then certainly it would burn a little. I was very careful not to scratch the area before applying. This is amazing, in less than a week, the rawness is almost healed and no pruritus!! Please give this product a try if you’re having issues."

For Minor Skin Irritation "If you use Calmoseptine in your groin area for skin irritation, it is very helpful, but if you need to go through the full body scanner at the airport because of i.e. an artificial knee, be prepared for a pat down. Apparently, an ingredient in the product is also used in making explosives."

For Diaper Rash "Our pediatrician suggested using this after our now 12-year-old with eczema had a very bad case of diaper rash, weepy and bleeding. We have used it ever since for diaper rash. It is better than anything we've ever tried, and we've tried them all. We recommended it to anyone who asks. Usually clears up even the worst diaper rash in 24 hours."

"I had gone to the doctor for bad poop and a cracked anal area. Diarrhea and blood due to cracks all the time. Saw this in my wife's drawer. Used it. Tingles at first, not burns, just tingles. The next day..... AWESOME FEEL. 80% healed. Day two 90%. Worked like a charm."

For Diaper Rash "I used this for itch, rash, and soreness in the rectal/vaginal area and found this cream to burn upon application. After about 5 minutes, the burning pain diminished. However, after urination, the burning returned. Very difficult to heal the area, as well as keep clean. Used 'Aloe Vesta' for cleaning, and it burns as well. 'Triple Paste' is the only ointment that does not burn, as well as providing a barrier."

For Minor Skin Conditions "I have a big rash from psoriasis 8' x 10' on my back, can't put a band-aid on it because there is no skin. I missed 12 days of work because of bleeding. I found this Calmoseptine, and it was amazing-immediate protection from shirt rubbing against it. Fantastic! Will recommend to family and friends. WOW!!"

For Minor Skin Conditions "Fantastic. A godsend. Simple ingredients. Cooling menthol calmed raging itch from lichen sclerosus and psoriasis. Good barrier to urine, but using water and drying with a cloth after urination and applying more cream also helps. Big improvement after one day for both conditions. Thick consistency, so it sits on skin and transfers to clothing, but washes out in the machine. Worth it!"

For Diaper Rash "This product works wonderfully on skin irritations and raw rashes. The menthol numbs the raw skin, making it more comfortable, and the zinc provides a greasy barrier on the skin, keeping urine and feces away from the skin. Lately, I've found 2 of the 4 4oz tubes were gritty, and 2 were not. I find the gritty ones to not work as well for a barrier. Hoping they get this issue fixed soon!"

For Minor Skin Irritation "The doctor gave me a sample for inflamed perianal and genital area. I was surprised to find it so gritty, like there was sand in it. Also, I did not care for the menthol cooling/burning effect. The pain of the irritation was reduced, but the whole area is still red. I think just plain zinc oxide would work better."

For Minor Skin Conditions "I have used this product for a long time. Everything was fine up until a year ago, and now every tube I buy or replace has some kind of gritty substance in it. Even when I return the tube, the replacement tube is gritty. It has gotten so bad that my pharmacist refuses to carry it anymore."

For Diaper Rash "My two-year-old had diarrhea and applied this cream as, when cleaning, he complained that it hurt. Instantly sobbed when applied and screamed saying, “It hurts, it hurts.” I used a wipe to remove what I could. The area where most of the cream was applied now has an ugly red, slightly bubbled rash, and prior to application, the skin had no redness of any kind. Threw this product away and will NEVER use it again. I haven’t had problems with any other ointment, lotion, detergent... with my son. I do NOT recommend this ointment."

For Diaper Rash "Used this on great-grandson. He gets diaper rash easily, this protects him from getting it and heals and soothes if he gets diaper rash when we don't use this to protect."

"Doctor gave me this cream to put on what appeared to be slight chemical burns from testosterone patches. The rash cleared it up pretty good. Good item."

For Minor Skin Conditions "Turned my skin bright red and raw like a sunburn. It is also extremely messy and gets everywhere, which is a problem especially if you’re a woman. It did not help me at all."
