Aveeno Anti-Itch Concentrated Lotion, Fast-Acting Itch Relief, 4 fl. oz | Skin Protectant with Calamine, Pramoxine HCl & Triple Oat Complex, Poison Ivy, Insect Bites & Minor Burn Relief

I've been using this Aveeno product for a number of years. It's the only product I've found that immediately stops the itch from bug bites and mild hives. Our little neighbor friends call it "magic lotion" because it stops the itch of mosquito bites immediately. I use it for mild hives, and nothing else comes close to the instant relief it provides. A little goes a long way, too. It has calamine in it, so it's not meant to be moisturizing, but it is soothing in addition to stopping itch. It would probably be great for poison ivy as well. I highly recommend it.

Mosquitoes/insects love me a lot. Unfortunately I'm also the kind of person who gets large welts after getting bitten and the reaction is so bad I look like someone has beaten me up. This particular Aveeno (they are not all the same - this formula is hard to find in stores) calms my itching down immediately and allows me a good night sleep but also keeps the welts from getting too huge and ugly. Yes, it smells like calamine lotion, but to me that's simply the price you pay for relief and I'm happy to do so.

This product really helped me and my doggie. He is more prone to itchy skin then I am, but recently, he had a large area around his neck that had gotten some doctoring, and as it healed was driving him crazy for the itching. I used Aveno on it , and he stopped itching and went to sleep. If you use it for your pets, maybe you should contact your vet about it first. It works, is smooth and soothing, and easy to apply. I do highly recommend this product, and I have ordered it more then once. I love amazon, and thank The Lord for amazon. Hope this helps.

I always have my caregiver use this on my back because I have very dry itchy skin. It helps except for one crazy spot that itches almost constantly. I think it is because I am a diabetic and have some nerve damage. Nothing seems to help the itch in that one spot. I mean nothing. I like it for the rest of the areas on my back where I can't reach myself.

We have used this "itch" cream for years, best on the market. My husband has tried numerous creams to stem his incessant itchy arm in the middle of the night, this works like a charm. I have excema and it relieves that as well.He's not "itching" for anything better!

Is it a good value for the money? I don't know but when you're itchy and nothing else seems to stop the itch doesn't matter if it's a good value for the money? Of course it does not matter!It smells like calamine. If you've never smelled calamine before that's what it smells like. All these people who are saying it has a really bad smell... The smell is calamine.It is calming to the skin. It is moisturizing to the skin. And it does seem to stop the itch. So it does everything it's supposed to do none of the ingredients are a surprise.

Never tried calamine. Used Cerave with the same 1% pramoxine which I wouldn't know was there in either product. Cerave is more moisturizing, this doesn't seem to be. Just anti itch ingredients that maybe help a bit with my mild itch spots. This doesn't replace the expensive Dermeleve, which seems to help very slightly. I combined it with Curel itch defense or Gold Bond eczema and it didn't seem to make much difference.I'll try together with the Aveeno nighttime balm. That is the one irreplaceable treatment, but when I use it I still feel it doesn't work best by itself.

This stuff is hard to find in the store. I did locate it in CVS for 3 times the price...I kid you not! I may or may not of sampled a bit in the store out of desperation, pretending to smell it and it worked! It really calms the bites down. Some people said it smelled bad. Meh, I didn’t think so...doesn’t smell like much and for making me feel more comfortable and less itchy I can deal! I’d say it goes on a bit like Calmine lotion. The notes mosquito bites bugged me more. You won’t be sorry. Just get it!

Only relief from hives I've found that works for me. I've had to buy this product multiple times because of how good it is. Wish it came with more in it. But honestly I swear by this product

It’s effective to use

This genuinely helped to calm the itch and allergy, it does what it supposed to do. I would highly recommend using it. Good for kids and sensitive skin.

Great

I am having heat rashes in places I don’t want heat rashes and this is helping with the itching a LOT.
