Scrubzzzz Wipes: Allergenic Reaction

I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up. I purchased the 

Scrubzz 50 Disposable No-Rinse Travel and Bathing Sponge Wipes

 

I've used them twice. This morning, I've got an itchy rash all over my torso, front and back, and more private areas. I looked at the reviews, and no one is reporting being allergic. As the target market is for someone who is infirm, I highly suggest you test it on less sensitive skin first.

Always a good idea to pre-test anything you put on your skin.  I've been useing these for a couple of years, long before QVC started selling them.  I've never had any problem with them and think they're a great invention. 

 

I don't like them on my hair.  They must contain a moisturizer  because they make hair feel very greasy.

Im so sorry they caused you to have a reaction.  I really love them, but I'm not allergic to much. I've used them for a long time without any problems.

I love ❤️ them too!  The only thing I don't like them on is the hair for the same reason lol.

If I used those wipes then I would want to rinse afterwards even though they say you don't have to. The ingredients don't look like something I would want left on my skin.

I wanted them to freshen up at night when I didn't feel like a second shower.

 

I sometimes have weird sensitivities. When I was a kid, I was allergic to most fabric softeners and many detergents. I would break out in giant hives. It drove my mother batty.

It's too late, but YES, I wonder if I would have had less of a reaction.

They also sell these on Shop LC you can also read reviews on there. You may need to call your doc for a course of Prednisone.  Be very cautious as to what you use in the private areas, I only use Sweet Spot Labs body cleanser in that area.

I love to use them to freshen up too, especially if I've walked through the garden or got my feet dirty lol.

 

When I was young, I was allergic to a lot of laundry products and perfumed body washes/creams too.  That's so funny.  I'm not sure what changed, but I rarely have a reaction anymore.❤️

Re: Scrubzzzz Wipes: Allergenic Reaction

I brought these for my husband because he just had foot surgery and could not get wet.  He loves these.  I started using them in the shower so that I can rinse off but Ihave had no reaction to them and I have eczema.  My skin is super sensitive.  I wish I had discovered these sooner.  Great product from QVC.

 

Everything doesn't work for everybody.   You found out during the 30 day trial period so you can return and get your refund.

Dang @Squirrels Are Trash , that's too bad. Do you have anything you can put on your torso and other areas? Like a hydrocortisone cream plus aloe. I've used these on and off since my first knee surgery. Here is another product to try if you're interested in trying something else. I've not used this in the private areas.

ALCALA deodorizing body wipes. Enriched with aloe chamomile green tea and tea tree extract.
