Calamine Lotion Reviews

For many years I have used Calamine lotion, as did my own mum when I was living at home. I always have a bottle at the back of my medicine cupboard though I haven't needed to use this for a while now.

When I was growing up, calamine lotion was a staple of our family medicine cabinet. From rashes to sunburn, my mum's response would be to whip out the calamine and dollop it on, and, unlike some of the other childhood remedies I remember (milk of magnesium springs to mind), it was actually OK- it didn't smell or sting, and had an ...  Read the complete review
