Banish winter itchy skin
By C. G. King
I thought I was going to lose my mind with my skin feeling so dry and itchy this winter, particularly my back, in places I couldn't reach. I have several moisturizers that do help, but not to the degree this stuff does. I saw it advertised and decided to try it and voila! It's super. I like the 'sensitive skin' type particularly because sometimes I'd get frustrated and try to scratch my back with some unfriendly tool, like a fork, and have actually broken the skin more than once. This stuff not only soothes my skin and kills the itch, it seems to promote healing as well. The beneficial effect also lasts a long time. Highly recommended.

Good for temporary relief, but I had to dig deeper for lasting relief
By RSL
Over the past couple of years I have developed very itchy skin in certain spots (perhaps it's eczema), and this product works well to temporarily relieve the itch for a few hours. I switched to it because I really didn't want to continue using the steroid cream prescribed to me, since I read about the side effects of steroids, many of which may be yet unknown.

In the pretty comprehensive research I've done so far, it seems that diet has a huge role to play in itchy skin, as we can easily compromise our ability to fight toxins, etc. if we are not eating right. Perhaps our society's shift to eating what is convenient has contributed to the seeming rise in eczema all around us... can't say for sure, but it makes sense that we need to feed our cells the nourishment they need. I've cut out processed foods, most grains, and processed sugars, and that has helped a lot. In their place I have put natural alternatives (honey, grade B maple syrup, sucanat or stevia in place of sugar, for example), lots of veggies & fruits, and even started juicing in the morning - that's a subject I knew nothing about before October! I can't say I've eaten kale before this month, either, superfood that it is.

Anyway, all that to say that eczema is a bigger problem than just topical, but this product does provide relief, is rated an 8 out of 10 for health on goodguide dot com, and is not too expensive when on sale or with coupons at Walgreens. Works best if I wash the itchy areas with cool water beforehand, wait until they dry pretty well, and then apply this lotion. Sometimes I like to apply Aveeno oatmeal lotion first, to moisturize the skin, then the Sarna to cut out any potential itch for a few hours.

May 2012 UPDATE: Apparently sometimes the goodguide dot com website can truncate the ingredient list, so now I always cross-check with the "skin deep" website by the Environmental Working Group. That website ([...]) give this lotion a rating of "moderate" health concern. Also, I would highly recommend just trying a little bit of extra virgin olive oil on the itchy skin, as I read about that recently and it has worked well for me when I need the relief (still a little itchy at first, but soon kicks in & provides the relief... and less expensive, and much less concern w/ toxicity). Lastly, since my first review, I discovered several natural practitioners who say that the root cause of itchiness may be eczema (which is most often caused by "leaky gut syndrome") or candida, both of which can be dealt with in a holistic way. I hope to beat this issue from the root, and not just the symptoms.

November 2012 UPDATE: I am THRILLED to report that with the help of a natural practitioner (who helped me heal my leaky gut and candida issues through dietary changes & supplements), I have no more itch! I don't have to be super careful anymore about what my skin comes into contact with, but I still choose to be careful so I don't take in too many toxins for the sake of general health.

August 2013 UPDATE: I am still very thankful to be free of the issues that were plaguing me before. I genuinely hope this review helps anyone else dealing with the extremely troublesome problem of constantly itchy skin.
