Great for allergies, dry burns and chicken pox.

Care Aqueous Calamine Cream is a versatile skincare product that combines the soothing properties of calamine with the moisturizing benefits of an aqueous cream. It’s designed to provide relief for irritated, itchy, or dry skin caused by minor skin conditions, insect bites, or sunburn.Pros:1. Soothing Relief: The calamine component is excellent for calming skin irritation, reducing redness, and alleviating itchiness, making it ideal for minor rashes, insect bites, or sunburn.2. Moisturizing Formula: The aqueous cream base helps to hydrate and lock in moisture, preventing excessive dryness often associated with calamine products.3. Affordable and Accessible: Widely available and reasonably priced, it’s an economical solution for minor skin concerns.4. Mild and Gentle: Formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin, it’s a great choice for children and adults alike.Cons:1. Mild Medicinal Scent: The calamine gives the cream a distinct scent that may not be appealing to everyone, although it dissipates after application.2. Limited Effectiveness for Severe Conditions: While effective for minor irritations, it may not provide sufficient relief for more serious skin issues like eczema or psoriasis.3. Not Long-Lasting: Reapplication may be necessary, especially for persistent itchiness or dryness.Care Aqueous Calamine Cream is a reliable, budget-friendly option for managing minor skin irritations and dryness. Its soothing and moisturizing properties make it a versatile product for households, but those with severe skin conditions may need a stronger, specialized treatment. The mild scent and need for reapplication are minor drawbacks when weighed against its overall effectiveness and accessibility.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for heat rash! Even if you don't think it is!

A.F. · 26 May 2025

I suffer horrendous heat rash in hot weather - it's unbearable and painful. I hate it. It's become the annual event I don't look forward to. I know the routine: get industrial strength antihistamines and live under as many fans as possible. It ruins summer. However, I can't keep applying hydrocortisone cream all the time as it thins the skin, so, anything that works inbetween is a blessing and a bonus - and so far, so good. I haven't raked my skin raw!!For the first time in ages, I feel comfortable!!Easy enough to apply and does the job of relieving itching. I don't feel like my clothing is made from nettles!!

Helps pompholyx/dyshidrotic eczema

M. · 9 April 2016

I've suffered with at times severe hand eczema for the last 4 years. Just hoping to help someone because having this really sucks. Pompholyx is a skin condition (caused by contact allergies, food allergies, dust molds fungus etc ..not contagious) that only appears on the palms of the hands and/or soles of the feet.In the first stage of this annoying skin thing, tiny blisters form under the skin. Eventually the blisters come up and the skin forms deep painful cracks. The skin is left thickened and raw. It's very painful (keep-you-up-at-night pain/itching) and looks terrible. I wish I took before photos of my hands. Sort of.This cream is the only product I have found that simultaneously makes the blisters disappear AND heals the painful cracked dry skin. All other products that helped only took care of one symptom and at times made others worse. I've literally tried everything. Even prescriptions don't work.I only gave 4 stars because on the first use, it made my hands really itch. I tossed it aside and washed off my hands. I didn't expect to ever use it again. I've wasted hundreds of dollars this way. I also dont like some of the chemical ingredients in it.....liquid paraffin and some harsh alcohols. They arent things I want to slather on my skin daily. I only bought it because of the calamine and zinc, and I read a forum where someone else (!) healed their pompholyx specifically with aqueous calamine cream.The next day, I did a lot of house cleaning, and it left my hands extremely dry and painful (I try not to come in contact with any harsh products and dust so I wore gloves. .which keep sweat on the hands..which aggravates the skin..I recommend using cotton glove liners..which I didn't have at the time-of course). I was desperate for relief of the dry painful feeling so I grabbed this cream just to give it one more shot. And it worked. Instant pain relief. No itching this time.It's been three days of constantly applying this cream and I've had no negative reactions. The skin is healing much faster and blisters disappearing (nothing ever helped the blisters before). I'll take an after picture if this cream really does kick it 100%. It's not expensive so it's worth a try if you suffer from this!

Perfect

Thick Cream

M.J. · 14 June 2023

I love this product. Calamine I've found to buy in regular stores are all a runny liquid, hard to put on without getting all over the place and not staying where you want it. This is thick and can be directed exactly where you want it. Tube ended up being larger than I thought.

FIRE HAZARD!!

A. · 15 November 2020

I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO GET THIS PRODUCT. WHEN I DID GET IT, I NOTICED A BIG RED BOX ON THE BACK OF THE PACKAGEING, STATING THAT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD! ITEM IS NOT RETURNABLE. NOT HAPPY AT ALL!
