This. Stuff. Is. Amazing. I've struggled with toenail fungus and athlete's foot for years due to an injury and then working in an environment where my shoes were always getting wet. My doctor at the time told me it was a vitamin deficiency, and by the time I realized she was wrong, it was too late and all 5 toenails were infected. I tried EVERYTHING you can get OTC, and probably spent hundreds on all sorts of potions and lotions and topical treatments. I found a new Dr, who prescribed medication to try and kill it. Nothing worked. The past two years, I've hid my foot 24/7. I used to wear flipflops year round, and it was so frustrating and embarrassing. I saw this online one day by chance. It had decent reviews, and cost half of what I'd usually drop on the newest cure at the drugstore, so I decided to give it a try. Within a week, my feet were noticeably smoother, the dead skin was coming off, but they were no longer cracking, itching, and painful. Now, about a month later, the skin on the affected foot looks just as clear as the healthy one. Two toenails look perfectly healthy, they were the least infected to start off with. The other three are noticably stronger, no longer cracking, and all three have clean pink nail coming in. After a week or so of only using this on my feet, I decided to try it as an all over body wash, and now I'm hooked! I used to have to reapply deodorant throughout the day, now I could really go without it if I wanted. Also (TMI) but for the ladies, I haven't had a single yeast infection since using this stuff. And it makes my skin feel SO fresh and clean, without drying it one bit. Even the most "moisturizing" body washes used to dry my skin! For me, at least, this product is a miracle. And for those that say it didn't work, I would bet they used one bottle, and were mad that a month's worth of treatment didn't clear an infection that had spread over YEARS. The thing that sucks about toenail fungus is, regardless of what treatment you use, it usually takes months, maybe even a year, of constant use and attention to get rid of it. Look up costly laser treatments, or antifungal pills, or anything else. None of them are quick fixes, and they usually either cost a fortune, involve removing your toenails, or damage your liver. And just fyi, I'm not at all affiliated with this company. I wish I was, so I could get this stuff more often! After telling the customer service rep about my experience (they contact you once they see you've received it to make sure you're satisfied ), she asked me to post my story on here, and I promised I would. Also, the customer service in general is amazing. I wish every company was like this one. They respond immediately, and keep in contact to make sure you're fully satisfied. So really, evenif you're not up to the commitment required to cure a fungal infection, you still have nothing to lose by trying it. Read more

Pictures from 04/05/16, 04/30/16, 08/04/16, and 09/30/16 I first started to suspect that the white spot on my toenail was fungus sometime in February of this year--and I've since realized I can thank my 75 lb dog for jumping up and landing on it a couple of times, as well as my misguided attempts to cover the spot with nail polish before I realized what it was :/ Anyway, I went to a doctor in March/April and received terbinafine, which is apparently terrible for your liver, and like most medical approaches to treating onychomycosis, pretty ineffective. So I looked around the web and found out that coconut oil had natural anti-fungal properties and worked for some people. I tried that out for a while, and saw some improvement, but not much. Then, I was looking around Amazon and found Purely Northwest Antifungal Foat & Body wash. Ordered it, used it, and saw significant improvement! So, I ordered the whole treatment, made sure to clip back as much of the dead nail as I could comfortably do, as recommended in the instructions, and used it as close to the recommended schedule as I could muster the effort to do. This eventually led to the third picture from 08/04/16, and it was almost gone! But then I ran out of the foat soak, and thought I would be fine just using the soap and topical treatment since it was almost gone--not so much (but I also wasn't using it as often as I should have). I ordered more of the soak and committed to washing once in the morning, applying the topical treatment, wearing sandals during the day, soaking for 20 minutes at night, and applying the topical once more before bed. After following that schedule for the past 2 to 3 weeks, I think I have finally been able to clip back all of the discolored nail (no more hiding just under the edges so it's able to grow under the new nail!). My plan is to keep up what I've been doing until the nail is completely grown in, but I fully expect it to be healthy and fungus-free! I will post an updated picture when I finally get there. I am so glad that I found Purely Northwest--the product works and as other reviewers have mentioned, they have great customer service! Some tips that I learned along the way: buy a nail brush (I think the instructions recommend this as well), consider buying clippers specifically made for ingrown nails--I had problems with this, but I think even if you don't, it could make getting rid of the dead nail easier. I also had issues from bacterial infections (mostly due to ingrown nails at the edges), neosporin and a bandaid changed one to two times daily helped, along with fixing the nail problem triggering it. This stuff, especially the soak, dried out the bottoms of my feet, so good lotion is a must! If planning on wearing close-toed shoes, consider purchasing a tea tree oil shoe spray like this one <https://www.amazon.com/Shoe-Deodorizer-Tea-Tree-Oil/dp/B01C7KJVFU?th=1> I would have purchased this from Purely Northwest if they had a similar product, but I couldn't find one. Also, although you probably already know--if you have diabetes--I came across several warnings that advised not clipping the nail back yourself! I hope my long, detailed story can help someone else get rid of this stuff and save them some time with the learning curve! Read more

I've been using this body wash for a year now and love it! I had been experiencing dry skin (thanks peri-menopause!) and HS symptoms occasionally (skin bumps). I was previously using an antibacterial body wash which was not helping. The scent is mint-like and mild in a good way (some tea tree scents can be overpowering). It rinses off completely with no residue. I haven't had any irritation and it keeps body odor away! It definitely helped with moisturizing my skin. It's not a cure-all for the HS bumps, but I do feel like it's helping with the skin inflammation I sometimes experience. Overall, I like the fact that I can use it every day with no film left on my skin and I feel so fresh afterwards! Read more
