SafeSkin Review & Giveaway

I grew up with parents who never bought antibacterial cream or ointment and usually our cuts would be cleaned with a wet washcloth and, if necessary, a band-aid was put on. My husband, however, has introduced me to antibacterial creams and uses them regularly.

Right after my tube of SAFESKIN Kids Antibacterial Gel arrived, my husband cut his finger. Since we had run out of our other antibacterial gels, it was the perfect time to try out SAFESKIN. He said that the gel was easy to apply and seemed to be similar in consistency to other antibacterial gels and ointments. Amazingly, since my tube of SAFESKIN arrived, neither of my boys have injured themselves to the point of needing antibacterial gel or band-aids so I haven’t had a chance to try this out with them yet.

However, some of the things I like so far about SAFESKIN Kids Antibacterial Gel are:

• The fact that it is easy to apply, especially one handed (for those times you’re trying to hold down a screaming child or something of that sort)
• The fact that the gel is supposed to work for 48 hours, so as long as the bandage over the cut or injury doesn’t get dirty or wet, you won’t have to change it at all for 48 hours.
• This product also provides a barrier against MRSA which is a highly contagious staph bacteria and is resistant to many antibiotics.

I had a band-aid on recently and I was shocked at how much it hurt to take off! The second bullet-point above sounds like a big perk to me because I don’t want to have to take band-aids off my kids unless necessary.
