Just wow!

Very effective and works within seconds. Yes, it was very expensive for a small bottle but a little goes a long way so it was worth it. Money well spent. Worked a full shift and applied it 4 times (every 3-4 hours) throughout the day and it was very helpful considering my job involves standing and walking around for 9 hours. I was second guessing at first, but the product itself proved me wrong. I know based on some of the reviews it didn’t work for some people but it sure worked for me.

Struggling with PP hemorrhoids? You NEED this!

I’ve recommended this to some many moms!! Those postpartum hemorrhoids are no joke and ain’t nobody got time for that pain with a newborn. It is expensive, but it was worth it for me! I do almost wish it was a thicker consistency, but it immediately helps.

I won't buy this again

It's very expensive. I found the same item on Amazon for only $17. I didn't even see any relief. A cream without lidocaine works much better.

Happy

I was a little hesitant in purchasing this product because of some of the reviews that people have left. I decided to go ahead and give it a try. Purchasing this item was the best thing I could have done. I had bleeding hemorrhoids and they were talking about doing surgery to remove them. Within 2-3 days of using the product my hemorrhoids have shrunken about 90% and the bleeding has seized. I'm looking forward to calling the doctors to let them know that I will not be needing the surgery. It doesn't hurt to just try the product to see how it may work for you.

Works!

After a few days of suffering, I finally broke down and purchased PH instant. It’s expensive, but really works. Within 5 or 10 minutes I had lasting relief. No more discomfort while sleeping and woke to find the swelling down. Would not hesitate to purchase again.

Calms the flaming shards of glass

This made passing stools bearable. I have struggled with hemorrhoids for about six years and I usually have a pretty bad flareup about once a year. It feels like I am trying to pass flaming shards of glass. This is the ONLY thing that has given me a semblance of relief. Better than the prescription lidocaine cream I was given. I no longer fear constipation due to the incredible pain. Now, if you just have a little hemorrhoid that isn’t trying to kill you, regular Preparation H will probably be fine.

Not Rapid, No Relief

Doesn't work. For the high price I expected it to work. There are cheaper options that do work.

I was skeptical but am a believer now!

Can’t believe I’m writing a review on this product but felt compelled! This, works, single-handedly better than ANY prescription I’ve been given.. and within hours there was relief! Skeptical given the price but so thankful for the quick relief! Wow. Just wow!

Doesn't Work, Too Expensive

This cost me $25 for ONE OUNCE and you have to squeeze that one ounce through a teeny, tiny hole - good luck getting your money’s worth. (The cap is childproof, too.) Could Target make this any more of a pain to use? So, NO, stay away from this product - better to buy clean, thick pads, pure aloe and witch hazel and make your own hemmerhoidal Ice Packs. (See Youtube) Good luck!

Will buy if absolutely necessary, but...

Works great. Can’t give it 5 stars because the cap is cumbersome and difficult and the price compared to all the other P-H products seems ridiculous.
