Works really well – cooling and soothing too

We always use Savlon when the spray had Iodene in it but that is not available now. The jel is good

I’m not a big reviewer of items I buy on Amazon or elsewhere, but in this case I feel I must register how exceptionally (and unexpectedly) good this stuff is. It’s a clear gel with a very mild medicinal scent which basically forms a thin, transparent, flexible and breathable (water-based) film or membrane over the wound and my god does this make an incredible difference to how fast even nasty, open, festering wounds heal. My skin is hyper sensitive, super thin and super fragile and silly things which would cause the most superficial graze on normal people end up as a oversized, deep, bleeding and festering mess on me that takes several weeks or even months to heal. This happened recently on my upper inner thigh: an open wound nearly 3cm long and 1.5cm deep that was constantly rubbing against my other leg, my clothing and whatever I happened to be sitting on, and over a course of a week was getting worse and worse until it was dripping with pus and possibly infected (sorry if this is too much information). I was too embarrassed to go to the doctor given its location but very anxious as it was hurting so badly that I couldn’t sleep and was in a constant sweat and it was getting ever worse by the day, and as mentioned above my skin just does not heal itself in anything like a normal fashion. The instructions inside this Savlon gel (which is indicated for ‘minor’ wounds, but my mum disputed that mine was ‘minor’ by this stage) said that it can be used on both dry and wet wounds (other products didn’t specify this). I have applied it twice a day after my baths and put a gauze dressing over the top and it has been nothing short of miraculous. When I started using it the skin within the open wound was basically gooey, pus-ridden mush and had been for several days, and within 24 hours of using this Savlon gel it started to noticeably solidify/dry and show clear signs of stabilising and healing as well as a reduction in pain – amazing! 48 hours later and it was entirely solid (albeit still soft of coursse) with dramatic healing evident. 72 hours later and the difference is extraordinary – the skin where the wound is is level with my surrounding skin (previously it was gaping with what appeared to be several layers of skin just gone or mushy and collapsed inward) and looks like new, pink, baby skin has formed over the wound and it no longer hurts much. Given my usual timeframe for healing, this seems nothing short of miraculous. Of course I shall carry on using it for as long as I feel I need to. I did take daily photos so that I could track whether things were getting better or worse, and the photos clearly evidence the difference this Savlon gel has made, but I’m afraid the photos are too embarrassing to post.
Before I bought this Savlon gel, I had tried the Elastoplast wound healing ointment which is literally nothing more than a tube of pure petroleum jelly and paraffin wax, with no added medicinal ingredients. It was somewhat useful to the extent that it formed a barrier that offered some modest protection to an open wound in a place where it was rubbing against all and sundry, thus preventing healing, and it also prevented dressings from sticking to the open, festering wound (this Savlon also prevents dressings from sticking to the wound, but the Savlon does not interfere with the adhesion of the self-adhesive tape as the Elastoplast did, which is win-win). But this Savlon gel is another animal entirely and streets ahead of the Elastoplast in terms of functioning and efficacy.
This stuff would also be highly effective with open blisters.
I can’t recommend it enough; honestly, I didn’t know money could buy something so good.

It really does work. Tested it on some burns and not on others and much much less scaring and heals a lot quicker too. If you have little pimple, it dries it right up. Also when under the finger nail splits, it will pretty much heal it completely overnight.

Rash

Bought this when I got a kitten to treat my multiple scratches! Takes the sting off and heals well.

Used this liberally on my 91 year old father after he’d spent an unexpected 10 weeks stay in hospital for a ‘simple’ broken hip replacement. Covered in bedsores and other lesions.
Prior to this an active gardener and walker. After, bedbound incontinent, not even capable of standing up.
Nevertheless this stuff worked miraculously and healed his wounds wonderfully.
Would recommend it unreservedly.
