Zinc Oxide Ointment Rugby LABORATORIES Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "It works pretty well. I feel like it protects the skin and keeps it hydrated and smooth, not dried out and itchy, which causes more scratching."
• "This is very good at clearing it up."
• "Started using this and have seen a dramatic improvement in less than a week! Just goes to show sometimes it's the simple, inexpensive products that work the best."
• "This is an amazing product, we have many on hand so we never run out... Treats any redness immediately and is the only cream we have found that doesn’t wash off."
• "Works great as sunblock without all the other chemicals."
• "This product cleared my rash almost completely in 4 days."
• "It will heal just about any rash overnight and is unscented so is great for caregivers with allergies or babies with sensitive skin."

Cons:

• "WE used this as sunscreen for my kids. Oh my goodness, they were FIRED after 30 minutes... They were fried and developed blisters the next day."
• "Did not have much luck soothing a rash with it but seems like if you specifically needed Zinc Oxide this would be a good product to use."
• "I got this for adult Diaper Rash. It’s far too thin. It gets warm on the skin and leaks off."
• "It’s not good at all to help with diaper rashes. I regretted for getting this cream."
• "Good for wounds, less so for rashes. Removes oil from skin leading to dry skin thus leading to more rashes."
• "The zinc oxide is only 20 percent in this, so it's not very effective for diaper rash."
• "This didn't really do the trick for me for what I was ailing from skin wise."

Packaging and Quality

Pros:

• "The zinc oxide ointment by Rugby that I got here is a whole 16 oz (1 lb) and very reasonably priced."
• "Four jars of 20% zinc oxide for under $40 is a great deal. The cream spreads smoothly... the zinc oxide heals the skin rapidly, making it soft and smooth again."
• "The product arrived sealed in a plastic bag undamaged and a inner sealed inner rim."
• "You will not find these cheaper 4 for $20. Great price."
• "I am so glad to be able to buy zinc oxide in its original form."
• "This product is creamy and easy to apply. What took me 6 - 8 minutes before I can now do easily in 2 minutes."
• "Great quality Zinc Oxide cream at a price point that allows for liberal use."

Cons:

• "One container out of 4 was broken with product leaking out upon receiving."
• "The jars arrived cracked, much like other reviewers here."
• "Terrible packaging. The worst part is that it wasn’t even new. It was open and not sealed."
• "Unable to trust the contents of the jar because the protective seal was broken."
• "Seems to be good quality, but item arrived with both the container and the lid badly broken."
• "The jar was cracked in more than one place and there was zinc oxide everywhere."
• "The jar is cracked before the label was applied so now it kind of oozes."

Texture and Application

Pros:

• "Love the formula! It is super thick and leaves a white cast."
• "The cream is nice and thick and stays put while my horse is out in the pasture."
• "The formulation is thick and creamy, it adheres well."
• "No scent, very thick for good coverage."
• "It protects the skin from diarrhea because it is thick and sticks."
• "This cream works wonders in sweat areas, it protects the skin really well, no raw skin or even a rash."
• "It's still visibly on him after the whole night of sleeping. Good stuff. I'll certainly be buying more."

Cons:

• "The cream seemed to sweat being contraindicative."
• "The only thing I dont like about this product is that you have to use ur fingers & its messy."
• "Fabulous price point for the quantity. This is 20% and was not effective for my little one."
• "Its very thick and cakey also. Not as creamy."
• "I bought this because a review told me it was a paste... within 2 minutes it becomes a greasy ointment."
• "This one is a bit greasier than others. It's not bad, just oilier and I prefer products that aren't oily."
• "It is sticky as you apply it. But I have learned to apply it right after I have moisturized my face with rose water and glycerin."
