Works great. Bought the expensive one with lidocaine and that burned and itched. I also bought this just in case and this was much more effective and lasted longer

I never thought I'd have to use this product, but I am so glad it exists. I learned that using the applicator works better than just externally applying the cream. That is when I noticed the improvement. I only used it for 2 days for the amount it reccomends and I'm back to normal!

Definitely a huge relief if you’re in pain or discomfort. It takes about 2-5 minutes to really work and for me it sting a little bit for a moment when I applied it but the relief it brought was great.

This Preparation H worked better for me than any other ones I've tried. It truly soothed my bottom and have me the relief I desperately needed. It was creamy without being too thick and stayed where I applied it. I will never buy any other Preparation H again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
