A spray for cuts, burns & grazes that does work!

Advantages: Handy, easy to use spray - very effective
Disadvantages: Horrible colour

...I returned home clutching my Savlon Dry Antiseptic Spray with the Pharmacists words of "Only time will heal this & you'll have to avoid the beach in case of infection." ringing in my ears. This product promised to act as a protective barrier on my wounds which would prevent infection & speed up natural healing. Fab! I set about spraying this stuff on my wounds & got a bit of a shock! Its very cold indeed! It doesnt hurt, its just really cold. It ...
...in a small blue 50ml Savlon branded cannister with a yellow lid. It costs around £3.70. Its for use on minor cuts, grazes, burns, friction burns, blisters & abrasions. You can buy it in all good supermarkets & pharmacies and the handy size means it fits in your handbag for all of lifes little scrapes & cuts! The only side effect of this product is if you are at all sensitive to iodene. And possibly be careful with clothing as is does mark, but not ...

Review of Savlon Dry Spray

Reassurance in a cream

Advantages: antiseptic, treats a variety of skin probs
Disadvantages: strong smell, not easily absorbed

I'm sure a tube of savlon lurks in most first aid boxes, the smell certainly reminds me of the cuts and scrapes of my childhood, where this was a staple in my mum's box. Savlon is an antiseptic cream that comes in a foil/metal tube (like a toothpaste). It soothes and prevents infection whilst encouraging the natural skin healing process. It can be used on cuts and grazes as well as minor burns, blisters and sores and sunburn. It is also great for ...
...used on spots, shaving cuts and nappy rash - although these are things that I have not used it for. When I was younger, I frequently had it applied to cuts and grazes and remember it stinging on first application (a few seconds of what would now just be a tingling sensation) but it meant that my wounds did heal and it gave peace of mind that they wouldn't be infected. Nowadays, I'm much more likely to apply to minor burns from cooking or ironing ...

Crisp clean healing!

Advantages: It actually works for a great price

I have been using it for..roughly 3 days, and used it twice a day. And i also ...

Review of Savlon Wound Wash

Gentle germ killer

Advantages: Great all-rounder, effectively a non-toxic-to-humans household cleanser and skin product
Disadvantages: would be nice in spray-on bottle?

Savlon comes in two categories, the Antiseptic (blue bottle) and the disinfectant (brown bottle). The disinfectant is cheaper than the antiseptic. The disinfectant liquid is effective against everyday household germs. It can be used in lavatories, sinks, drains, wastebins, dustbins, on floors, kitchen, bathroom and hard surfaces where hygiene is of crucial importance. It can effectively be used throughout the entire home. Savlon Disinfectant Liquid ...
...Dettol has been known to kill white blood corpuscles (which fight off germs and diseases in the body), which by comparison, makes Savlon the less harmful product. This Product Contains : Aqua (water), isopropyl alcohol, cetrimonium bromide, chlorhexidine digluconate, terpineol, parfum (liquid deodoriser) benzyl benzoate, gluconolactone and sodium hydroxide ...

Review of Savlon Disenfectant Liquid

Non sting healing

Advantages: It seems to work
Disadvantages: None

...itself is blue with the savlon logo on the front and instructions and directions on the back. It has a screw on/screw off white cap. Open the cap and the first thing I notice is the totally antiseptic smell- typically savlon. This really does smell as though it is medicinal and will sort out any minor skin complaints. The cream itself is white and of a thick consistency, making it easy to apply, and because it is quite thick, there is no chance ...
...Other products in the Savlon range include: *Antiseptic wound wash £2.48 for 100ml *ActivHeal Plasters for blisters £3.79 * Bite and sting pain relief £3.99 for 20g ~~My Verdict~~ I like the stuff and believe it works. My most recent need for it was a bad burn which did look as though it was infected. A trip to the pharmacist confirmed that it shouldn't be covered but that antiseptic cream should be applied frequently. Following this advise, ...
