Anthisan Cream Reviews

So I am the passenger in a car driving along on a long drive. I am busy admiring the scenery, and as you do I get an itch in my left thumb. I don't really notice the itch is there, but I do acknowledge in the back of my mind that it is there and I scratch it. Although I have kind of forgotten I scratched the itch until a few moments ...  Read the complete review

If there's anything flying or crawling in the vicinity I can almost guarantee that my poor 18 year old daughter will get stung or bitten if she hasn't used insect repellent - thank goodness for Anthisan! It's one of the several essential products I keep in my medicine chest (along with Piriton & Vick etc) as it gets used all times of year but ...  Read the complete review

I am writing this review from the comfort of my holiday villa at Center Parcs. The nice people at Center Parcs have been thoughtful enough to provide wifi access so I can continue writing reviews while I relax and enjoy the surrounding woodland. On our first evening here, my son was exploring the woodland outside the villa, stood on a ...  Read the complete review

It's that time of year again - the sun is blasting down on us, I've taken to a skirt (a rare event trust me!), and the windows are as wide open as they can get to let any breath of air in to the house. For me, this time of year also means insect bites. Hubby dear man gets maybe one or three through the summer. Me, I'm usually three or four a ...  Read the complete review

This summer the midges have been particularly bad, I've had bites a plenty on my arms and legs and before long I was at my wits end scratching all day and night without hope of reprieve. This was just before my mum bought me a small white tube of something called "Anthisan." I have never seen Anthisan before but I have heard from friends ...  Read the complete review

I bought a tube of Anthisan a while ago when I was attempting to get rid of the anti-histamine tablets I use and have used for years. The cream itself is an anti-histamine cream so I thought I could perhaps use this instead so I wasn't taking a tablet every day. I suffer from long-term urticaria which is intensely ithy and burns like ...  Read the complete review

My mother (who was a pharmacist) & I have been using Anthisan now for more years than I care to remember, but certainly since back in the days when it was made by May & Baker in Dagenham. We have always found it extremely effective for relieving mosquito bites, nettle stings and the like. All the same, like most 'anti-histamines', ...  Read the complete review

They came on silent wings, unannounced and uninvited, through a forgotten, half-open window. Single-minded in their purpose and utterly ruthless, never for one moment swaying from their mission. How many of them came I will never know. Nor will I ever know why they chose me as their victim. But as I lay there, helpless against their attack, they ...  Read the complete review

Being a frequent traveller to West Africa, as some of you are aware, leaves my skin open to abuse by the most repulsive of insects "the mosquito". Not only have I been bitten by these blood sucking flying monsters but have also been unfortunate to have acquired Malaria on two occasions. I never used to use any creams or other ...  Read the complete review

This is a very strong antihistamine cream which you can buy over the counter. This cream is a must for the summer months. It is a white cream with a pleasant smell used for the treatment of insect bites, stings, nettle rash and general itching. I found it very effective for prickly heat, it offers relief from the itching straight away. ...  Read the complete review
