Blue Star Ointment-Review
Product Claims of Blue Star Ointment
In this review, the product Blue Star Ointment is examined. This topical product claims to offer relief from the symptoms of ringworm. Ringworm is caused by either of three strains of fungi: trichophyton, microsporum, or epidermophyton. All these fungal strains are highly contagious and can spread easily. However, this product claims to exterminate such outbreaks. It also offers relief from other skin irritations, such as dry skin, scalp itch, tinea cruris (jock itch), athlete’s foot, cracked hands and feet, as well as eczema. According to the manufacturer, this product has been tested and is the ideal ringworm reliever. Keep reading our review for more.
Ingredients
- Camphor
The only active ingredient is camphor. This substance helps to stimulate nerve endings that dismisses the symptoms such as itching, pain, and scaling triggered by infections. Other ingredients include benzoic acid, lanolin oil, mineral oil, paraffin wax, petrolatum salicylic acid, aloe vera as well as methyl salicylate. This topical product lacks one clinically proven effective ingredient, namely that of undecylenic acid, a known cure for ringworm.
Dosage Instructions
The manufacturer recommends that the affected areas first be cleaned and dried. The topical ointment should be applied three times per day. The manufacturer suggests that those with sensitive skins dilute this product with one part petroleum jelly to one part Blue Star Ointment. The manufacturer also suggests that all clothing and bedding should be washed regularly during the first week of treatment. However, the company states that, should the problem be unresolved after four weeks, the affected person will need to speak to a doctor.
Cost and Guarantee
This product is not available directly from the manufacturer, however, it is still available online from third-party sites such as Amazon. The cost for a two-ounce container of this topical cream is $7.65, with free shipping. No discounts nor package deals are offered. In addition, unlike other companies that do not sell directly, this product is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. The consumer must write to the company to claim a refund. However, the terms and conditions of this pledge are unclear, such as the time allowed by which to return items, or whether fees will be deducted from any refunded amounts.
Summary Of Our Blue Star Ointment Review
Blue Star Ointment a worthwhile product. It comes with a money-back guarantee: Dosage instructions are clear enough for obtaining optimal results. However, our research found that the guarantee’s terms and conditions are not all clear. Also, this product does not come with any discount, and is not presented in package deals which would have saved money in the long run. Furthermore, this product’s formula does not contain any clinically proven ingredients known to be effective against ringworm. Instead it comprises only one ingredient that has not been identified as effective. As such, more so with so many other similar products on the market currently, offering better quality ingredients, ingredients that are clinically proven to be effective and are backed by solid manufacturer's guarantee - this product does not match these.
