Gold Bond Medicated Powder 10-Ounce Containers (Pack of 3)

Gold Bond powder with menthol is a great itch relieving and soothing powder. Just use it as a general body powder. Some reviews make comment about the smell, I find that the smell of the powder is ok and disappears quickly not causing any problems. I originally purchased Gold Bond powder when visiting the US and have used it ever since.

I ordered an alternative powder recently and quickly found Gold Bond Medicated to be far superior. It works wonders for itching and has helped heal eczema and we are really grateful and happy about that. I ordered the three pack and each bottle was actually 10 oz compared to a different brand I recently ordered which was 1/3 full. The bottle is about half full and lasts a long time. The powder does not burn or sting and has a nice lasting effect. It can be reapplied whenever and I use it generously. I just recently realized how important this powder is to have on hand for all year long. I have also used it in my hair before bed as a dry shampoo and it absorbs any night time oil making my hair clean feeling and fresh in the morning. I am happy with Gold Bond and now know from experience that all brands are not the same even though the ingredients are the same.

I've been using this close to 30 years. This powder does not clump. Goes on smoothly. Feels silky. No strong scent. Soothing on itchy dry skin. Absorbs body moisture really well. I love using this on my skin during a psoriasis outbreak. If it's a minor outbreak, I can put only this on and it calms down the horrendous itching. If it's a bad outbreak then I'll use my Rx ointment and then apply this powder afterwards and it does make a difference, for me personally. If I'm having a hot night sleeping, this is great for cooling me down and allowing me to get back to sleep. I'm one of these people that mosquitos love. Whenever I get a bite, I'll wet the bite and then sprinkle on some Gold Bond Powder, which will basically makes a paste. Helps take the sting/itch out of the bite.

Really works! I bought this in hopes that it would prevent the armpit staining of my undershirts. I found out that the staining is actually caused by aluminum in the deodorant mixing with your sweat. I have since switched to a brand of Arm & Hammer deodorant that doesn't contain aluminum and I sprinkle some of this powder on over the deodorant. Not only has the staining stopped but I stay dry the entire day all the way into the evening when I shower before going to bed. It does have a slight mediciny smell but not strong enough to seep through my clothing for others to notice. I will continue to use this from now on.

It was recommended by a nurse to use on my husband's skin, especially the areas that had broken down. She said she doesn't usually recommend a brand name, but she makes and exception in this case. She said the medication will make open areas sting for a little bit but then it will numb them an make them feel better. It seemed to work for my husband. My only caveat-if you send someone not familiar with the product line, Gold Bond also makes non-medicated powder and it would be useless in this case. Fortunately, if you tell them abut the bright yellow container with he red top, that should help.
