Question 1

Is Sarna oily or greasy, or does it leave your skin oily or greasy?

Accepted Answer

I don' find Sarna particularly greasy or oily.  When you first put it on, it will definitely feel like you have put lotion on your skin...so a bit "wet" and "slick" but it doesn't take but a minute for it to absorb in your skin.  After that, your skin will feel "cool" (which is the best term I can think of for description).  I have a rather large area on my back that is VERY itchy off and on during the day/night.  I tried prescription and OTC creams with small amounts of steroids.  These provided temporary relief, but since my condition is chronic and will not go away, I really didn't want to keep on using any amount of steroids indefinitely.  My dermatologist suggested Sarna, and I have found it provides just as much, if not more, relief and there are no steriods involved.  It is very soothing and calming to the area.  It contains 0.5% Camphor and 0.5% Menthol and can be a pretty strong scent when you first apply it, sort of like the way Vicks Vapor Rub smells.  But I don't mind the smell at all and it dissapates very quickly.  Sarna alleviates the itching and keeps the area calm for me for most of the day/night.  And because there are not steriods, it can ve applied 3 to 4 times a day.  I am so glad my dermatologist recommended this to me!  I hope it gives you the same relief.

Question 3

How often should you apply Sarna to keep the itch away?

Accepted Answer

I only use it when my back itch returns. No need to any time else. Itch is usually gone by the next day!

Question 4

Does the sensitive and foam versions both have the cooling feeling like original?

Accepted Answer

I haven’t tried the foam version, but the sensitive version does not have a cooling affect.
