BALM OF GILEAD Tea Tree Balm - 2 fl oz Foot Cream with Tea Tree and Manuka Oil

I immediately noticed a difference within a few seconds of application. I have dermatitis and eczema that is severely itchy and painful. I have tried several different products, some natural and some prescriptions, including steroid creams. Some have worked okay but taken several days to clear up my skin. Others haven't worked at all to stop the intense itching, not even the prescription creams. This is the first that has worked so quickly to relive the itching and pain. After only 1-2 applications, my redness was gone and the itching almost non-existent. See the before and after photos. Some spots are extra stubborn, like those on my scalp, which need more than 2 applications to clear up. However, this makes the pain and itching much more bearable while waiting for the sores to go away completely. This is the first ointment that I only need to use a little for it to work. Many others I have gone through a whole container in less than a month. This product I have probably used about a quarter of the container so far. This means a lot to me because most of the natural salves are so expensive. Even though the price of this may seem high, it really isn't since it only takes a little to bring relief. And 4 oz is lasting me quite a long time. The scent is light and herbal/essential oil smelling. This is no problem for me because I like those scents and it's really light. Also, some products containing manuka honey have a really strong (almost unpleasant) smell - this one doesn't. It's very easy to apply. Just scoop a little onto your finger, then rub it in where you need it. I'm not sure how to describe the texture of the salve but I will try. I really like the feeling compared to some others I have tried. It's solid when you first open it. It will soften up with the warmth of your finger. It feels silky and smooth, and absorbs quickly. You can see a sheen on your skin which some people may call oily or greasy. But it's a very light feeling on my skin in my opinion. Some other salves I have used seem heavier and even waxy feeling. This does not. I definitely recommend trying this if you have itchy or painful skin. Or even just to have on hand for bug bites or cuts. The ingredients in this are really good for your skin health.

Came here to reorder. This is probably the best product I found in a very long time. My daughter has severe eczema, and I have issues with it as well. Along with skin issues just in general. I apply this pretty liberally all over both her and myself depending on what we have going on. And it either minimize it or removes the issue completely probably within a 24 to 48 hour. If I am very consistent. I’ve also used it as a partial for my skin routine under the eye area, where I have some wrinkles and it has really brightened up my skin. We have had no reactions whatsoever to this product and it smells pretty decent as well. Pretty good. I would definitely recommend it. Read more

Love this balm. I tend to get eczema on my hands in the cold winter months. After trying many over the counter products with few results, I decided to purchase this because of the healing properties of Manuka honey...and it is a natural product. It calms and soothes inflamed, cracked skin. After consistent use, I have noticed my hands are finally healing. Love the consistency, texture and natural scent. It spreads easily, you only need a little bit. The tin can packaging and graphics are also appealing and practical; and the size makes it easy to travel with. Will definitely recommend to others and re-purchase. Read more

This seems to be a great cream and does help with eczema itching and dryness. However, it has a very strong scent that is overpowering to me. It's not a unpleasant scent, just very strong. I probably won't order this cream again because of the smell. I am sensitive to fragrances and try to avoid strong scents, even from essential oils. Read more

I bought this for my husband who has developed dry patches (?) on his elbows. The Dr said he thinks he has developed psoriasis and wanted to give him different prescriptions but they had potential harmful side effects so we said no. After using this balm, he has seen a lessening of bad flares. He's very happy about that. He says this balm is very soothing. There's a nice smell that fades after a few minutes. The balm really works for many hours. It absorbs well and is easy to apply. I would say that it's a great value. There are lotions and balms out there that are as/more expensive and don't soothe the skin like this product and wow let's talk about all the added water and other chemicals these other companies put in their products. This balm is the real thing and has no harmful chemicals just soothing relief. I'm glad for that! In fact, my husband liked it so much I also bought the frankincense & myrrh also. He doesn't mind the smell at all. He said that in fact the even the smell kind of soothes him. He's been very stressed about the patches of skin so if it soothes him, that's a good thing! Read more

Works to calm my shingles rash! So happy to find a multipurpose autoimmune dry skin relief that is soothing the persistent itchy numbness associated with shingles. I’m experiencing immediate comfort. Absorbs nicely. Smooth but not sticky. Didn’t have to wash or wipe my hands after application. Goes a long way. Has an herbal aroma from the essential oils and frankincense. Great product for skin issues. Read more

I ordered this because it was recommended by a friend. I ordered it along with the lip balm and it was supposed to come next day. The lip balm did, but the cream took two weeks. I have psoriasis and was so hopeful that this would help me! I did see the other reviews that said it stinks but my friend said she had never noticed anything but a pleasant smell. It is very emollient and the initial smell is kind of citrus/herbal. I used it on the areas that I have psoriasis and on some other dry areas. It’s after I put it on my skin that I smelled the awful odor! It makes me think of the coal tar ointment I tried once. The ingredients did not list it, but that’s the smell. Like I said it is emollient but it hasn’t helped my psoriasis. I’m giving it to my friend! The lip balm doesn’t smell bad but it only works ok, not any better than store brand. Read more
