Cavilon 3M Durable Barrier Cream Unscented 3.25 Ounce (92G) Tube by Cavilon 2 tubes

This was recommended by CNA's at elderly family members assisted living facility. This has been keeping their skin in really good condition.

Best Barrier I have ever found. I would highly recommend it.

I love this fantastic protectant barrier cream that rubs in clear! Cavilon doesn’t just moisturize, it protects your skin from life’s insults. For me lotion doesn’t adequately moisturize my aging dry cuticles, but Cavilon does the trick. I rub Cavilon into my cuticles morning and night and it protects the edges of my nail beds. Then I rub the excess onto the backs of my hands. It’s noticeable when I am lax with this habit.A little goes a long way. If your hands feel greasy after applying, you’ve used too much. But you can just remove the remainder by rubbing your hands on another dry part of your body.

I'm writing this from the perspective of someone with bowel movement issues and will keep it as medically clean as possible, but if you get squirmy about bodily functions, then you might want to find a review more suitable for your need. I hope this helps others with similar problems. I am post surgery for colorectal cancer and ostomy reversal. As anyone with IBS or post colon surgery knows, your exit area can become quite irritated with frequent wiping, kind of our own special "diaper rash". Irritation to the point you have blood on your tissue, from hemorrhoids or not, is no picnic. Mine is non-hemorrhoidal, just bad skin irritation from constant wiping.I tried desitin and pure aloe gel with no real result. There was temporary relief, but the problem would be there again with the very next toilet visit. Then I found Cavilon. It was the solution I was looking for. After a little experimentation, I hit on the right way to use it for this problem.At first, I put it on tissue and wiped with it when I felt I was clean enough. Needless to say, there was discomfort with this method and I also realized that I wasn't really getting a thorough application because of what had preceded it and that using a tissue to apply it was not really the best way to get to all of the irritated skin.I have found that applying it in the evening before going to bed after showering and drying the area has worked the best. The area is clean and dry and I have been fortunate in that I really don't need to do that business very often at night so it has time to really absorb into the skin like it is meant to. I put on a nitrile (non-latex) glove, put some on a finger and spread it around. I also put some in to about the depth of my finger nail to get to the really sensitive skin. I started getting immediate results after 2-3 days. There is no more irritation or discomfort down there. I am still putting it on once daily after 2 weeks, but am considering going to every other day.

very easy to use and works

A good cream for taking care of a male who is incontinent.

I use this for incontinence, and the skin barrier protection is wonderful. It is also recommended to use on the face & body to retain skin moisture. I highly recommend for dry & aging skin.

A little dab goes a LONG way. I am the caregiver for my Mom who has dementia. I recommend this product to everyone!Two pea-sized amounts cover her entire perineal area including her buttocks. Helps prevent and treat redness and irritation from both incontinence and the briefs/pull-ups themselves. I’ll never use another product for this purpose (unless there is a backorder or other supply issue).
