Customer Rating: Summary: lifesaver Comment: I am a bilateral amputee. I use this product daily underneath my liners. It has prevented any major skin irritations and allowed me to be very mobile. Without it, I doubt I would be able to wear my legs for the twelve to fourteen hours a day that I do now. YEAH! Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Makeup Primer Comment: I am so glad I took the chance and purchased this. I had read that this was a great substitute for a makeup primer. I have very oily skin and this makes my makeup last all day. I used to have to reapply makeup a second time throughout the day. Now I hardly even use my powder!
This works the same as the Lancome primer for less than half the price. Customer Rating: Summary: best stuff I've found Comment: This stuff is great at preventing chafing. I used to get very uncomfortable chafing under the band of my bra, particularly on hot days. Using the powder-gel has pretty much gotten rid of this problem. And I like the way it feels on my skin - not sticky like gel, and somehow not like powder either. It's hard to describe: it's like a breathable invisible layer of smoothness over my skin.
The stuff is expensive, but it's better than anything else I've used, and I'm willing to spend the money on it. Customer Rating: Summary: Face Primer Miracle!! Comment: I heard about using this as a face primer before applying mineral, or other, makeup. I got it, and was amazed the first time I used it. My face looked years younger, fresher, and healthy. And that's saying a lot, as I am pushing 40, w/ red rosacea like oily and sensitive skin! I have used it, very little goes a long ways, for over 3 weeks now. I have not had a single reaction or breakout w/ it, as some have experienced. It's cheap enough, so I say, try it! If it doesn't work as a face primer, it can surely be used as what it was intended for, on males and females. So no loss at all. Thanks to all the ladies who posted about this on Makeup Alley and EverydayMinerals!! Customer Rating: Summary: Should Be Medicine Cabinet Staple Comment: Contains Cyclopentasiloxane (silicone-based emollient), dimethicone (skin protectant), dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer (oil absorbant), silica (dessicant), tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E, preservative), trisiloxane (spreading agent). DOES NOT contain fragrance or added color.
Labeled "from the makers of Monistat," i.e. McNeill-PPC, a pharmaceutical company, Soothing Care Gel is marketed toward women, but can be used by men. It does not contain antibacterial, antifungal or anti-itch ingredients. It does soothe irritated skin. It works BEST as a preventive as far as chafing is concerned. Apply a small amount to friction-prone areas of your skin after bathing. When I'm applying it, it feels a bit like Teflon. Leaves skin smooth, but not slick, and helps skin stay dry but not dried out. If it's hot and humid, you may need to reapply. The label does not address using the product on children's skin, so I cannot recommend it for the little ones. I do keep it handy as a personal care and comfort item.
If the "makers of Monistat" don't re-label this product as first aid, they must be crazy. Marketing it to women keeps it a well-guarded secret from the other people who can use it - men!
