20 Best Home Remedy For Poison Ivy (2023 Updated)

I love this salve. I have the worst poison ivy sensitivity and I went to urgent care twice. I received shots, ointment and steroids and none of it worked. I read about green goo and ran to the store.

This worked after using it for about 4 days. I then got stung by something and had another bad reaction. I started putting this on it and it was gone after a couple of days. Amazing product and I recommended it to the dermatologist I saw.

Definitely recommend this product. It’s been 2 days of rashes now that have spread to spots throughout my upper body and arms. I tried calamine lotion. I will say that this Green Goo is untouchable compared to these other anti-itch, rash relief products.

Instantly after applying the goo on, the itch went away and the parts of my arms with bad rashes are visibly not as inflamed as they were an hour ago. Buy this! 100% satisfied costumer right here, and you will be too.

I get poison ivy rashes once or twice a year, and inevitably it spreads like wild. I found this product on the shelf at CVS, and due to to natural ingredients, I decided to try it. Relief from the itch was swift, and the rash spots healed quickly.

The oils absorbed into my skin, not my clothing. The tin was extremely portable so I was able to have it handy all day. This is the most effective OTC product for relieving and clearing poison ivy rashes that I have ever used.

Im very allergic to poison oak, ivy, and sumac. Every summer I end up with it a time or two. As long as I have this on hand, Ive avoided a trip to the doctor for a steroid shot unless of course its around my eyes, in that case, its off to the doctor I go! This is some really great stuff though.

It stops the spread and dries it up with consistent treatment. Definitely a winner in my book!.

Put away all that pink goo, and toss the creams, THIS is what stops the pain and itch. I’m highly allergic to poison ivy and this is the only product that helps me heal and stop scratching. I don’t even bother with other products, they just don’t work as well.

Ivy Dry SUPER spray is less messy to use than the pink lotions, dries right away, dries clear, so you don’t have to worry about getting it onto your clothing. Also works for bug bites, acne, and refreshes tired, hot feet.

This stuff works for poison ivy. It burns just a bit, but stops the itching better than my hydrocortisone prescription. Does it heal the infection? Not sure. It seems. All I can say for sure is the itching is removed with repeated applications.

Best product I have found so far.

I’m highly allergic to poison ivy. I’ve used tecnu for years now. It’s the only product that I know of that can completely remove the poison ivy oil from the skin. It works best if you use it before the rash starts.

In other words if there’s a chance you came in contact with poison ivy, then use this product immediately. Don’t wait for the rash. However, I have also used it after the rash starts to develop. It doesn’t instantly take the rash away, but it stops the rash from spreading or getting worse.

Once the PI oil has been removed, your skin will begin healing right away, and will start showing signs of the rash diminishing as soon as the following day. I like this large size container. It lasts several years.

when you consider how much relief it provides, it’s a tremendous bargain.

Env: development I actually bought this product because I read a review about it here on Viewpoins. My mother in law who is no longer with us owned a camp site and now all of her kids use it from time to time.

Unfortunately the site is near where a lot of poison ivy grows. So if any of the kids wonder even a little off our site they are exposed to it. After having way too many problems over the years I am glad we found out about this.

Technu comes in a tube that you can buy at local pharmacies. The tube is not cheap. It costs around $15 but if you camp or hike a lot I think you will find it well worth the price. The reason poison ivy and poison oak are so itchy is because they get this oil on the skin.

Attempts to wash the oil off can sometimes result in it getting in to the skin even worse. You don’t use this product to treat a rash brought on by poison ivy or poison oak, you actually use it to avoid getting a rash or a reaction.

Let’s say you are out camping and one of the kids chases a ball or something in to a wooded area, or your dog wanders off the path and you find that where they were there is some poison oak, or poison ivy.

You put this on the skin right away and it will eat away at that oil that causes the irritation. That way the skin never gets irritated and you don’t get a reaction and you are not stuck being uncomfortable, or having one of your kids or your dog uncomfortable for the rest of your camping trip, or you don’t have to worry about itching and looking awful after a hike.

You may or may not have to use this when hiking or camping, but it is good thing to have with you just in case. It really does work. One of my son’s has skin that reacts quickly to these plants, and last time we went camping his cousin chased him in to poison ivy.

We put this on him right away and he had no reaction what so ever. Env: development.

Severe episode of poison oak! Grandma’s poison ivy bar definitely soothes the constant itching of poison oak as well as poison ivy. Highly recommended if you are unlucky enough to come in contact with these aggravating poison plants!.

Too early to tell, been using it about 3 days and the itch has subsided but has not disappeared like I hoped. The “alligator skin” is still there. Maybe give it some more time, but so far so good.

They need to change the name of this product to Any Miserable Itch Soap. It works on other itches besides poison ivy. The worst mess I got into was SEED TICKS. Hundreds of them. This soap stopped that insane itching with the first shower.

I finally slept after 3 nites of scratching. Get it and keep it on hand.

Awesome stuff! I didn’t start using it until I was 4 days into the rash but it helped so much! I now have it on hand and will use it whenever I feel there’s a chance that I came across touching poison ivy.

It definitely works! And to be honest, I can’t remember the last time my skin felt so soft and blemish free after just the first use. Highly recommend.

I discovered this soap about 6 years ago and we cannot live without it. Back then it was only $4 a bar. needless to say, the price has gone up dramatically, but it is the only salvation for us since we live at the lake and our property is literally covered with poison ivy.

I am highly allergic to poison ivy and oak and with 4 huskies that hike with me I can’t avoid it. I get poison ivy rashes every year. This pill takes the itching down to a minimum and the oozing almost disappears completely.

Please note that it doesn’t reduce the length you have the rash much and you do need to take the pills every couple hours so I keep 2 bottles on hand at all times so I don’t run out. If you run out mid rash it does start to itch again within hours.

I also get zero side effects with Hyland’s where prednisone gives me horrible side effects. So a huge plus on that as well.

When I turned 37, I got poison ivy for the first time everywhere! Steroid shots did not help. After many years of getting poison ivy, I still use Marie’s Poison Oak Soap immediately, but I would still break out in more spots just not as severe.

I tried these Hyland’s Poison Ivy pills after our puppies have given me poison ivy once a month for the past 6 months, and happily it STOPS me from breaking out after the original spot. Instructions are provided under the bottle label.

Now, if I could just keep the dogs out of the poison ivy….

I have been using this product for years. Usually in combination with drying agents as I’m not vigilant about my regimen. There is an immediate difference in my infection when I take this. The spreading stops as does the itching.

Absolutely nothing is as effective as this. I usually keep a couple bottles around, one in the bathroom cabinet and one in the camping gear. I seem to have been neglectful and went to buy this at my usual supplier (a 2 store natural food store) and they weren’t stocking! I went to the county wide natural food store New Seasons and they too weren’t stocking.

How can we users help your publicity department. This isn’t a product you want to special order in an emergency. This has a targeted market. I’d like to help you get it into all stores.

I thought the price of these was very fair. This was my first time using these pills. I can’t use products with alcohols in them or SLS or Benadryl or cortisone or hydrocortisone or steroids or corticosteroids or Prednisone and I needed HELP fighting and managing my poison ivy.

I used them as directed. My advice though, since poison takes at least three weeks (from my experience and from what I have researched) to get over, buy like four bottles of this stuff. Also, I took the Be Gone pills and I thought these worked better than Be Gone.

I am very susceptible to poison ivy/oak and was instructed by a naturopath doctor to take one tab weekly the whole year around to keep up my body’s ‘defenses’ against serious breakouts. I keep this remedy on hand all the time and take a few more tabs daily when I run into a patch of poison ivy or oak unawares.

The breakouts will still go through their stages, but it isn’t as severe as without taking the tabs in my body would be. The product I received was in different Hyland’s packaging of dark blue and white, but it is the same formula in the same size tablets.

I live in the middle of poison oak country, west slope Sierra Nevada foothills in California. Poison oak can practically drive me nuts. Benadryl or Hydrocortisone ointments offer little relief. These pills contain some of the plant.

By taking the product orally, I find that it quickly reduces the skin rash & itching. A very slightly upset stomach is no problem whatsoever compared to the relief I experience.

Pretty sure it’s just making it worse. I was exposed to poison ivy on Monday and didn’t know. At some point Tuesday I began to get the early stages of a rash. I knew immediately and went out to buy this product.

In fact I bought the scrub, the lotion or whatever and I bought Zanfel, a similar product. It’s now a week since my exposure to poison Ivy and I have a rash on every appendage. I have been using all 3 products 3 times a day each.

Usually I at the itchiest hours right in the morning evening and before bed. I caught myself starting to itch I would go to the bathroom and apply. My rash has spread to areas of my body that I know were not exposed to the plant.

My son got a really bad poison ivy infection. Every day he would find more blisters and itched horribly. This wash helped to dry his blisters. He needed a prednisone course because it kept spreading.

He got blisters in between fingers and couldn’t close them. He used this scrub and it seems to have caused blisters to vanish leaving scabs. I think with the spreading he had to have had the oil somewhere so he used the scrub and the blisters stopped coming out.

The itch subsided. He works part-time as bartender so needs to slough off those scabby remnants. Going to use remainder of scrub on hands and forearms.

This scrub is a must have for anyone who experiences out door allergens. It is a life saver. I pair it with the Tecnu spray. The ingredients in both products are holistic based. The scrub helps avoid scratching itchy areas.

It provides a gentle exfoliant. The products also help neutralize the allergen causing oils. Love, this product for poison oak, ivy and plant allergies.

I ended up with poison ivy from a family member that had it. It was awful. We tried calamine lotion, benadryl cream, hydrocortisone cream but nothing seemed to keep the itch away. The itch had become unbearable.

I tried Ivarest spray for the first time today. It gave instant relief and a cooling feeling to the infected areas.

I used Ivarest Itch spray to relieve the itch from chigger bites on my ankles. Within several hours, I broke out with hives that extended from my ankles to my knees. It’s taken a week for the hives to subside.

This is the 1st time that I have had hives, and I’m a 74 yr old man.

The spray is very convenient to put into a first aid kit or to keep in the car. It is very effective in relieving the itchiness and preventing insane scratching. I recommend this product. A must have.

I was cleaning up our yard and pulled some weeds along with some branches we cut, and I got poison something. Got this soap in West Virginia for future use. I shower with it and then dry off and then put a thin layer of the soap on my dry skin.

rub the damp bar over the affected area and no more itch. I love it.

I just do my yard work and then wash with this soap when I come inside. I’m very sensitive to poison ivy and never have any more outbreaks. It really works!

Holy moly! I can’t believe how well this stuff worked! I was helping my grandma by working in her garden and apparently got into some poison ivy. My hands were covered! My grandma handed me some of this and told me to take it.

After one dose the itching had stopped. After 24 hours the blisters had flattened. And now 4 days later you can’t tell that I had ever even had poison ivy! My hands are completely clear. I went out and bought a bottle to keep at home.

Everyone who gets poison ivy should have some of these on standby. The taste isn’t bad at all and it’s so easy to take. Just let them melt under your tongue. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Couldn’t get thru a summer without Be gone Poison Ivy pills. Has saved me many trips to the doctors.

Started as soon as I received the bottle. Helped to get the poison oak under control. I was pretty far in on the blisters and rash, but after just one day, the itching was leaving and it was drying up.

I had really high hopes for this cream based on the reviews I read on Amazon. It really does not work any better than any other itch cream I had tried for poison ivy. Cortizone 10 cream and take Claritin or Benadryl along with Pepsid or Zantac and you may find some relief.

That is what my doctor told me to do. *Pepsid and Zantac have a different histamine blocker.

This cream and the spray are incredible on fighting poison ivy.

My wife found that this is the only ointment that effectively treats poison ivy. Too bas it’s only available on-line.

Worth every penny! I managed to get poison ivy on my FACE, neck, hands, forearms and one knee and the itchiness was insane. I ordered and used the product as directed and it actually stopped the itching in 30 seconds.

This was after several failed days of trying calamine and being miserable. It is crucial to follow the directions so that you wash away ALL of the oil that is causing the problem. I scrubbed for three minutes which feels like forever.

When you’re so itchy that you want to scratch your skin off this product actually brings instant relief! The rash is almost completely gone. The biggest mistake that I made was not WASHING my bedding and it flared up again the next morning.

I washed everything thoroughly and reused the zanfel and I’ve been good ever since. The other really nice benefit of the zanfel is how soft and smooth your skin feels after using it!.

It took me two treatments to really get rid of the itch. The first treatment work really well for about 8 hours but then the itch came back a little. The second treatment pretty much got rid of it. Was it gone 100 percent? No.

There was still some itching hours later. But I was able to sleep through the night pretty comfortably and I didn’t feel like cutting my arms off anymore. The FAQ paperwork it came with was also great.

My doctor put me on a 7 day prescription of Prednisone and as soon I stopped it the rash came back twice as bad. The pamphlet taught me that those steroids need to be taken for 12 days so I got back on it and had a good turn around.

Only took one star off cause it’s so expensive for a small amount but if your rash is bad enough you won’t mind paying.

My daughter had gotten poison ivy all over her face. Keeping her long hair back and making sure she didn’t scratch. We used several topical creams scrubs. Finally with it spreading down her neck and back slightly, we went to see a doctor.

They gave us a oral steroid. She refused to drink it because it was gross. It really was. I tried mixing it with everything. Zanfel was the only product that gave us any relief! We followed the instructions carefully and there was so much improvement! It cleared all up after using the Product twice! Her face, neck, and upper back it was a life saver for us!.

I love to garden, work in the yard and pull weeds. Even though I know what it looks like, I usually break out with poison ivy inthe spring/summer. I have suffered with poison ivy all my life, and usually it spreads until I must take a prescription to get rid of it.

Two years ago, a friend sprayed me with Ivy Rid and I was amazed. Since then, whenever I start to break out I use Ivy Rid. It stops the itch, is soothing, and lessens the severity and length of the outbreak.

We have people working in high grass and weeds all day. They usually are into Poison Ivy before they know it and swear by tthis Ivy Rid and IvyX wipes. They are the only products they will use.

Poison Ivy / Oak is no fun. We have employees that do a lot of outside work and contract the itchy stuff! Having this on hand will be helpful in cutting out any scratching and help seal it off from spreading.

Glad to see WS offer this!.

Haven’t needed anything like this for years. Saw this on the shelf and gave it a try. Wow! Great stuff! Warming effect let’s ya know it’s working. Dries up the rash and blisters. Glad I found this and will keep some in the medicine cabinet.

Blistex should advertise this product more.

On 2 different occasions Ivarest has come to my rescue. I got into some stinging nettles that was horribly painful. Ivarest took away the pain. Another time I broke out in hives from a very stressful situation.

Ivarest took away the itching completely. Some people may not tolerate many skin products and will be unhappy. If you’re not one of them, I highly recommend this. I will always have it on hand.

My itch was so bad I couldn’t function- I tried calamine, Benedyl cream, cortisone, and the itch was still so bad. Then I tried this and I feel amazingly better. I actually tracked this down so I could say, “ Thank-you!” to this company.

I’m sensitive to poison ivy and managed to get an outbreak on my arm. After several days of using other products and having the outbreak spread to my other arm and stomach area, I needed to try something else.

I gave Zanfel a try and couldn’t be happier!! The product was easy to use in or out of the shower and it stopped the itching after the first use. It took several days of applying the cream once a day to completely rid my skin of the oil but those days were exponentially better than before the use of Zanfel.

I’d recommend this to anyone, sensitive or not at has a poison ivy reaction. It is now my go to product.

I come in contact with poison Oak, Ivy, or Sumac at least once a year. Always ending in one of those good old ER trips for steroid pills or shot. My husband came across zanfilm a few years ago while looking for a product to help with one of my worst cases I’ve ever had of sumac my eyes were swelled shut my cheeks were huge and I thought I was feeling my throat close up but that also could have just been me panicking to I blister really bad when I’m exposed to sumac and it’s very painful and it takes a long time for me to heal the first time I tried zenfelt I wanted to cry because it was almost immediate relief.

Sometimes my recovery process could take up to two + weeks. With zanfel I can be rid of all symptoms pretty much within 5 days or less I’m not playing when I say this stuff is amazing. The company and the people who work for it are awesome and so helpful I’m just so glad that we happened upon it because we are firm believers we recommend this product to any and everyone who will listen.

If you don’t believe me try it for yourself this is a miracle product in a tiny tube.

I ordered this soap to have up at our summer cottage in Ontario Canada. The reason being is that last summer my niece was up there and got a rash on her leg. By the time she realizdd what she had it spread to her arms and sides of her body.

I want to have something on hand to use at first signs of poison ivy. This product is supposed to relieve the itch, sooth the pain and inflammation, and remove toxic urushiol oils. I was also impressed with the fact that it is 100% pure using organic plant based materials as we try to use all biodegradable soaps at our cottage so we don’t disrupt the natural system of our lake.

Much smaller than expected. It said there’s a rough side and smooth side but they both feel the same. I used it to treat poison ivy I already had and also to scrub up after possibly coming in contact with it again.

I didn’t feel that it soothed the existing poison ivy but it seemed to prevent getting it a second time. I actually met Marie multiple times that invented this soap so I wanted to try it out. It’s definitely lasting longer than the liquid poison ivy soap that I have.

We have a lot of poison oak around our house, drawback from living so close to the woods. So everything my husband mows he would get poison spots and itch like crazy. Now when he gets done mowing, he immediately comes and takes a shower using this soap.

he will wash with this, then regular soap, then this again. He loves it and has asked me to keep it in stock. No more itch, not even red spots.

Absolutely, hands-down the best remedy for the treatment and prevention of the poison oak, Ivy and sumac reaction. I suffered from poison oak for two long years logging in the woods of the Northwest.

I tried everything and anything to help relieve the symptoms, but nothing really worked until I found Oral Ivy. This stuff is my life saver, it has been the only thing thar has helped me. About 12 hours after first taking oral ivy my rash was nearly gone and after daily use, I worked all day amongst the poison oak plants and no reaction.

After all week of work, I still had no rash and this has continued with daily use of oral ivy. I have most of the saw shops around the area now stocking oral ivy and countless of loggers are now firm believers that this stuff works amazingly well.

Most people are a bit leary when I hand them the bottle, however once they do try it they are shocked! This stuff is the GREAT!!! ****Note-Take only as recommended as overdosing may make your stomach itch a bit, but not nearly as bad as the general rash you get without taking Oral Ivy.

*** Thank-you Oral Ivy for saving my life (seriously,you really feel like you are loosing your sanity from the itching), I am your number one fan. A Pacific Northwest must have!!!.

Amazing product! It has been a life saver! I have been afflicted with poison ivy for many years in summer months. Many times I required prednisone to clear. Not with Oral Ivy! Never had any outbreak and have shared with people who have similar allergies with great success.

Thank you so much for this product!.

Took this four times the week leading up to tackling a poison ivy area. I was weeding for three hours. In the past, weeding that area would get me poison ivy all over and my face swelled so bad I needed steroids.

This time, I only got a few tiny spots. I hardly noticed them. I did still wash with brown soap, dawn and tech Nu after. Not bad at all!.
