Care Calamine Lotion 200ml, Mild Antiseptic and Astringent, Relieves Symptoms of Suburn and Minor Skin Conditions, Soothes Eczema, Rashes and Chickenpox

Arrived quickly. Was packaged very well. Lotion was thick and easy to apply to skin with cotton wool balls, just dabbing, to get good coverage. Coated skin and allowed to dry to get good cooling effect. Helped the rash and better than other brands that were very watery and didnt stick to skin. Good old fashioned lotion and very cheap too! Very effective!

My allergies were so up and so itchy and my skin was bright red, this really calmed down my skin and really helped me when I had a flare up. It really calmed down my sensitive skin and I go to this product every time I have a flare up. I applied it straight on my skin which felt like it was on fire and it really worked. I’ve been using calamine lotion for years, and it’s one of those simple products that consistently delivers. It’s incredibly soothing and provides almost instant relief from itching and irritation, whether it’s caused by insect bites, mild rashes, or sun-exposed skin. The cooling sensation is calming without being harsh, and it feels gentle enough for regular use. What I appreciate most is how effective it is without feeling heavy or greasy. It goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling uncomfortable. The light pink color fades as it dries, and a little goes a long way, making the bottle last quite a while. Calamine lotion is also reassuringly straightforward—no strong fragrances or unnecessary extras—just a dependable solution that does exactly what it’s meant to do. It’s a staple in my medicine cabinet and something I always reach for when my skin needs quick, reliable relief. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an affordable, trusted skincare essential.

Amazing stuff ! I had the worst itchy rash from prickly heat or a sun allergy ( PMLE) and overnight it disappeared with this on. It took away the itching straight away. So cheap as well !

This is not really the product’s fault, but Amazon did not package it well and the bottle arrived broken. It was disappointing as the lotion itself is a useful product, but unfortunately I could not use it properly because of the damage in transit. Better packaging would have avoided the issue.

Such a good price. My granny told me to get it and was way way way better than the modern solutions for chicken pox. Dried them up instantly and soothed him loads. Does smell strong but didn’t bother my son who was 15 moths when he got the pox. And also is nice and thick so can see exactly where you’ve applied it. Wipes of easily enough too. Make sure you give it a good shake before using.

Long recognised as helping with chicken pox in children, but very useful for adults too. This has been so helpful for my wife post-shingles irritation where nothing else worked. Very pleased.

This was what we all jsed to put on heat rash or sunburn, it is very cooling and restorative. Shake thoroughly before use.

If you are looking at calamine lotion and wondering whether it is still worth keeping in the house, yes. It is one of those simple cupboard items that is useful to have ready for minor skin irritation moments. The 200ml bottle is a sensible size, it is easy to store, and the product is straightforward to apply. With items like this, I mainly want clear labelling, enough in the bottle to be useful, and something that does not make a simple job awkward. My tip would be to shake it properly, follow the directions on the bottle, and get advice if the skin issue is severe, spreading or not improving. Simple, practical and five stars.
