Stopping the itch, so I can rest

Tge 1st application to my bug bites, did not stop the itch. So I reapplied the Benadryl cream a 2nd time rubbing it in more 5 min. later. I started to feel relief finally. It is still slightly itchy, but any level of effectiveness is appreciated. I suspect I have spider bites, rather than mosquito bites. I read that this cream is effective for mosquito bites right away. Well for spider bites a 2nd application of cream seems necessary, at least in my case.

A must-have for sensitive skin.

My skin feels instantly soothed and hydrated with Benadryl cream. Perfect for calming dry, itchy skin and leaving it soft all day. Definitely a must-have for Quick skin relief.

A summer must have!

In the summer months and even as it’s warming up, we keep this in our cabinets at all times. Fast acting and works! Only complaint is that it doesn’t exactly absorb. It kind of crumbles if you keep rubbing it in.

Great product to relieve your itch.

This product is amazing! I mainly use it during the summer when I go outside and get lots of mosquito bites. And in the winter it helps with my itchy dry skin. It’s super soft and very absorbent. Doesn’t leave any white casting and it doesn’t have a scent so if you’re sensitive to strong smell this product is great.

Great Product

It works really well and is very convenient. My family likes it better than the Benadryl pen because this doesn’t sting when you put it in.

Great

I use this on my mosquito bites and it is just totally great. It doesn't smell like anything and the price is great. Also the texture is good too and it is super great for anything that itches.

My kiddo gets eaten alive by mosquitoes no matter what we do! This helps with the itchiness and keeps her feeling better. Benadryl has been helping us for 10 years and the itch cream is an amazing addition to the team!!!

It works!

This is the only thing that helped get rid of my rash. It stopped the itching long enough that I could actually sleep in peace. I highly recommend to anyone.
