UltimateVitality Unscented Radiation Burn Relief Cream – Calendula Cream for Radiation Patients, Natural, Organic, Paraben, Pthalate Free - 6 ounces

I swear by this lotion not only for when I was getting radiation but always now - it is the best moisturizer I have tried and keeps my skin (all over) supple and soft. Even though it is pricey, and I don't need it for after radiation anymore, I still buy it because it really works and doesn't leave any residue. I have tried both the lavender and the unscented and both are great.

I had to undergo radiation on my head and this cream was an absolute God send. I applied it immediately after each treatment and multiple times throughout the day and it kept my skin in great shape. It is so moisturizing and absorbed beautifully without leaving any residue. My oncologist was impressed with how well my skin held up, it has been very effective and I appreciate how affordable it is. 10/10 would recommend to anyone getting RT.

This cream worked as advertised, reducing redness and pain, and it was very quickly absorbed

Works well on skin

Needed to used this after my mastectomy radiation treatment. It works great.

Good

I completed 33 rounds of radiation and this lotion was amazing. Very soothing. Definitely recommend!

I used this as a post-radiation cream, in combo with Weleda (which is much better) and Trader Joe's vitamin E/aloe. Clearly a bit of overkill on my part.This is a thin lotion, feels like a standard cheap lotion. I didn't remember that I'd paid $29 for 6 oz. It's definitely not worth that much money, but it does have some good ingredients. I also don't think that it's adequate on its own for radiation treatment. It's too thin. Not sure it's moisturizing. Not sure it has enough of the anti-inflammatory properties that calendula has. It's more like they threw in a bunch of ingredients that are generally thought of to be good, but in no certain quantities. I think I purchased it as "just-in-case" these other ingredients are helpful. It's more like they provide a fragrance more than anything else that I'm aware of.Speaking of fragrance, if lavender is your thing, you may like this. The dominant fragrance is lavender, and it's very strong. I don't mind lavender, but I don't seek it out. The whole process of the daily lotion after radiation is unpleasant at best, and, with such a strong fragrance, you will likely make that association with that unpleasant period. When I was finished with radiation and the few weeks afterward when I was supposed to put lotion on, I kept using the Weleda for a few extra weeks, just in case it helped. Weleda was more of a pleasant fragrance to me. I stopped using this lotion in part because it seemed more like clear overkill by then, especially since it was so thin. A few weeks later I started using it just as regular post-shower lotion. At first, the fragrance was too much just in terms of my association with radiation. I got over that relatively quickly (although the scent will bring up the whole thing pretty easily in my mind), and I can use it as lotion. Probably easier to use it as an ordinary lotion without thinking about the price, which might make more sense if it was an amazing lotion, but it's not. I'll keep using it just because I might as well use it up.Bottom line: overpriced.
