Works for us

by SuZee-Q [Verified Buyer]

in Tulsa, OK on 10/15/09

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Relieves Itching, Smells Great

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Bedtime, Dry/Chapped Skin, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

My husband has very dry itchy skin on his lower legs. Sarna is the best product we have found to relieve the dryness and associated itching. Prior to using Sarna he would scratch his legs, especially at bedtime, until they bled. This problem is totally eliminated by applying Sarna before he goes to bed. Some people complain about the scent, but my husband and I both find it pleasing and it opens up the sinuses! A bonus is that Drugstore.com offers Sarna at a more reasonable price than we can buy it locally.

Great Product!

Does ease itch

by Itchy & scratchy [Verified Buyer]

in NYC on 3/19/09

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: After Shower/Bath, Dry/Chapped Skin, Eczema, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

I have eczema, dry skin & a bad itching problem. This does a good job of easing the itch for about the the day. The itch does come back for the other half of the day. It does the job, but I wish the itch went away for the whole day. That may be an unrealistic expectation though.

Great Lotion!

I bought this for my dad who has problem skin due to Chemo and skin reactions to drugs. It was originally given to him at UC Davis Medical Center for a terrible rash. It is very soothing to his sensitive skin.

Best for Itch

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Smells Great, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: After Shower/Bath, Bedtime, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

I've suffered from severe hives for many years. This is the first product that actually works to take away the itch and calm my skin (and me) enough for the hives to start quickly disappearing . It is a wonderful product. What's more, I really like the smell, and my husband likes it so much he enjoys putting the lotion on my back. I will keep this lotion in my house from now on.

Not what I expected

Pros: Goes On Smoothly, Moisturizes Well

Cons: Bad Smell

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I was very shocked at the smell! It smells strong like my grandma's perfume. I only used it once in a small area but couln't get past the smell. It worked ok but I was afraid the fragrance would bother my skin.

Saves my sanity!

by Psyche

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Long Lasting, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Itching

Bottom Line: recommended

A dermatologist recommended this to me, and it is one of the best medical "prescriptions" I've ever received. I experience severe itching every day, especially in the area previously affected by shingles. For me, this product stops itching immediately, and its anti-itching effect lasts for hours. Some complain about its odor, but I've found that the mild odor (which to me symbolizes welcome relief) quickly dissipates. I often apply Sarna Lotion before bedtime, and my husband doesn't even notice it.
