    Overly priced product that blatantly lies about what it can do. The pictures on the front of the box are absolute BS and a great example of unethical marketing. A poison oak/ivy rash will not go away faster by rubbing this product on it. It might remove the urushoils remaining on your skin, but so does tecnu, a much cheaper product. I haven't noticed any results from this product.

    This product was a waste of 47.00. It did not help at all.

    I have struggled with a poison sumac rash for two weeks now and have tried a variety of over-the-counter products. Yesterday I paid almost $50 for Zanfel and used it as described. Because I have rashes in a lot of places, I had to use almost the whole tube. It sure felt good in the shower, rubbing it on, and it relieved the itching for about nine hours. The itching returned like crazy about five h ... Show Full Comment
