TriCalm Steroid-Free Anti-Itch Hydrogel





The end of summer is creeping closer and the last long weekend is guaranteed to be filled with BBQs and fun, as well as bug bites, rashes, sunburn and minor injuries. If you’re working on any stories about prepping for Labor Day weekend, steroid-free TriCalm is a must-have for any parent.  We’re also happy to participate in a reader giveaway if that’s something you’re interested in.

Skin irritations are commonly treated with steroid-based cortisone creams which include potential side effects like dark hair patches, new allergies, skin discoloration and more. However, there are steroid-free alternatives including TriCalm, a gel that provides fast-acting relief without the risks of steroids.  It can be used daily and on children as young as two.

My thoughts:

I have used this product when I came in contact with Poison Oak.  And it did take the itch away.  Most recently with the changing of the seasons, I have started to have an outbreak of my  Eczema.  I put Tricalm on the spots and it helped clear them up.

You don't need to use much on any area.  It actually feels like a skin moisturizer when applied.  It dries quickly and is not greasy. You can use this on children ages two and up.  Which is a plus, especially since children that play outside tend to get bit by mosquitoes.  My ten year had a couple mosquitoe bites, and this took the itch right out of it.

The fact that Tricalm can be used by your whole family for a variety of needs, is all the more reasons that I would recommend it to be in your medicine cabinet.

Tricalm is available at CVS, Walmart and Walgreens.

TriCalm Steroid-Free Anti-Itch Hydrogel

"Product was received for free in exchange for an honest review."


It’s finally summer and your kids are ready to jump out of their skin - but not from excitement… Despite the copious amounts of bug spray and sunscreen you’ve applied to your little ones, they’ve still been itching and scratching ferociously at their arms and legs after their outdoor adventures. Pretty soon they’ll have scabby skin and teary eyes. You feel helpless: you want to try anti-itch ointments, but you’re not sure which ones are safe enough for their sensitive skin. 
TriCalm hydrogel is a dermatologist-recommended anti-itch product that provides rapid relief to summer skin irritations associated with insect bites, poison ivy and itchy rashes. It is a safe, steroid-free gel that decreases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors in your skin responsible for sending signals of itching to your brain. Because the gel is steroid-free and does not thin your skin like other ant-itch products, it may be used on sensitive skin and reapplied throughout the day. Easy to administer, fast-acting, affordable and safe, TriCalm retails for $10.49 and is available at CVS, Walmart and Walgreens locations nationwide



My thoughts:

Absolutely a quick working cream.  I am a stay at home mom, and my seven and ten year old is outside all the time.  Where we live, we are constantly battling the pesty mosquitoes.  No matter how much bug spray I put on my kids, they still get bug bites.  As soon as one of my kids get bit and start to itch, I put a thin layer of Tricalm on them.   They have almost instant relief from the itch.  
I tend to get poison ivy every season.  When I come into contact with it, I itch instantly.  I put Tricalm on the effected areas numerous times throughout the day.  It takes the itch away which helps my poison heal quickly.  If I didn't have this, I would end up at my doctors.
I will definitely be keeping Tricalm in my medicine cabinet at all times.
