This product really works. My son can finally enjoy swimming again.
This is a follow up to the review I wrote after having tried it for only 3 times. I am very happy with it. I do not smell as much like chlorine as I used to after my extensive work-outs in the pool, followed by the hot tub. My skin does not itch any longer, and it is not as dry as it used to get. I will definitely buy this cream again. Oh yes, and it is slippery. So don't place it on the entire foot, but only the top of the foot :)
Sensitive skin and chlorine pools do not mix well, and post-pool lotioning did nothing to stop a post-swim itchy-rash breakout. I found reference to this stuff on the web and figured it was worth trying for under $15. Half a tube later, and it gets my seal of approval. Since I started using it I've had only a few mild breakouts and overall my skin is much less dry. A little of this product goes a long way and I predict that when the tube is done it will have lasted me 3+ months. Definitely worth the investment.
I've purchased DermaSwim Pro over the past three summers because my son has a chlorine allergy, but LOVES to swim. DermaSwim Pro has helped keep the chlorine rashes and irritation to a minimum. It seems to form a nice barrier over the skin, but we apply it liberally.
I developed a case of eczema this winter after being in the pool. After getting most of it cleared up with standard treatment, I started using the DermaSwim Pro, and so far, so good. No recurrence of the eczema, and my skin is not itchy after being in the pool. I am hopeful that this will allow me to be in the pool twice a week next winter!
I put this lotion on my arms and torso and now experience no chlorine itch or odor after swimming. Until I found this product, I thought I would have to forgo swimming in our community pool which isn't even that bad re. chlorine. The itch which followed swimming was pure torment and kept me from falling asleep at night. This is a product which does what it claims.
