Suu BalmItch Relief Cream, Menthol & Ceramide Body Moisturiser - Itch Relief in 5 Minutes - Psoriasis, Dry, Sensitive Skin, Eczema Treatment (350ml)

I am suffering from terrible itching in both arms. No creams or antihistamines have helped at all. I bought this expensive cream to try as I am desperate. It is easy to apply and rubs in well. It definitely helps and is the first thing that has. To say it's called a cooling cream is a bit misleading as a couple of minutes after application my arms are on fire. They feel and smell like I have rubbed Olbas oil on to them. The skin burns but this is preferable to the intolerable itching. When the burning stops I have a period of respite from the itching usually long enough for me to get to sleep. If I wake in the night itching again I reapply and lay there burning again but as I say this is preferable to the itching. In the morning my arms feel well moisturised. I am glad that I bought this product even though it was very expensive as it has given me a few nights of sleep and that is definitely value for money.

Good works well but menthol smell rather strong.

Wonderfully cooling effect, very effective in calming down itching.

Having suffered from night-time itchy skin for over 4 years, this is the best relief I’ve discovered so far. It takes a little getting used to as the menthol ingredient makes the skin tingle and feel cold for half an hour after application, but when I’ve woken scratching my itchy skin, an application of the lotion brings rapid relief so I can sleep again.

Very good product stopped the itching in no time

I have still to see if product works, only used a few times but itch still there IWill keep using it.I had to take salve out of the bottle and put it in a wide dish to get my fingers in.When it arrived in the box the top was off and the cream made a bit of a mess. There was no foil safety topper on bottle and the pump doesn't work. Very shoddy presentation. I won't be buying this product again.

it worked to some extent the first couple of times, stopped the itching for awhile, then it just stopped working, disappointing

Absolutely brilliant itch relief cream. Why have I never thought to try a menthol-based cream before?! I have been suffering with severe eczema and hives for the past year, which only seems to be getting worse. I was desperate for some itch relief, taking up to 4 antihistamines a day. This balm has been amazing - as soon as I start to get hot and itchy patches, I rub a little of this on and within a few minutes the soothing, cooling menthol totally distracts my skin and my brain and the itch disappears. It also seems to bring some relief to the redness that comes with eczema. I have found it relieves my sanity when I wake up during the middle of the night with itching that was driving me to tears with frustration - now I keep this by the bedside table and apply wherever needed, problem solved! I can get back to sleep much quicker and feel soothed.In terms of moisturising, it does seem to do a good job, however I have also been using another moisturiser in addition to this, so couldn't say exactly how it would be if I were to just use it on its own. Would definitely recommend (but as always with any skin conditions, check if you're sensitive to any of the ingredients first). I have quite sensitive skin that doesn't tolerate much in the way of parabens or preservatives and it hasn't caused any reactions for me.I've found in the recent hot weather this has been brilliant for cooling down my feet (even if they aren't itching!) so has come in very handy!
