Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SO GOOD, IT WILL PROBABLY BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET
I have suffered from poison oak-ivy for as long as I can remember and I am in my 50's now. No matter how I try to avoid it I still seem to get it about 3-5 times a year. Most of the time I get on my face and have to go to the doctor and get at least two shots. Last time it took me 4 shots to get rid of it.

I will argue with anyone that this stuff does spread. It starts on my arms and ends up everywhere until my eyes are so puffed up that I can't see out of them.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - technu extreme review
I was sold on this product until I used it. It does not help poison ivy outbreaks at all. It does NOT shorten its rash life. It does NOT reduce itching. It does NOT reduce rash life. This product is good for nothing except emptying your wallet.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great off-the-shelf treatment

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works Well But Cortaid by J&J Costs Much Less
Like most people, I'm allergic to poison ivy and poison oak and have had innumerable cases throughout my life ranging from mild to severe. Absent a shot of cortisone for a moderate-severe rash, Tecnu Extreme works well at reducing itching and speeding healing. However, Johnson & Johnson has come out with Cortaid -- same function and effect -- for less than half the price of Tecnu.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sing the praises of Tecnu Extreme!
I *love* this product. It really works.

I am extremely sensitive to poison ivy/sumac/oak. Very small exposures cause terrible itchy rashes. What's more, I am allergic to common ivy as well. We have outdoor cats, and ivy all around the property. When I pet my cats, therefore, I am often exposed to ivy oils.

This stuff has the following properties that make it so excellent:

1. It removes the oils that cause the reaction. When I know I've been exposed, I scrub ... Read More
