DERMagic Skin Rescue Lotion

So, yes, the smell can be a little strong. Initially, the smell isn’t too bad as it smells similarly to sports cream. It isn’t until it dries where the odor more closely resembles burnt plastic. However, despite all that this product works as advertised. My dog had dry flaky skin which was beginning to turn black and her hair was beginning to fall out. Vet said it was an allergy and gave her an anti-histamine injection but two weeks later the affected area had grown from her front leg to her chest and now beginning to creep up her neck. I figured I’d try DERMagic and within 3 days I began to see a steady improvement. We’re now a week in and her skin is back to its natural tone and texture and So, yes, the smell can be a little strong. Initially, the smell isn’t too bad as it smells similarly to sports cream.

Her smell from the cream is less than ideal but it’s a small inconvenience for the sake of my dog’s health. … more

This smells so bad I couldn't use it. Could be the sulfur? I just couldn't cope with it, even after I washed my hands many, many times. If you use it, wear gloves. The smell stuck to my dog for days.

This review has nothing to do with whether or not this product actually works- I can't use it to find out. It smells like something all natural you would spray in a garden to keep pests away, and when I applied a small amount to my dog he was miserable from the intense smell so I had to wipe away as much as I could. I went ahead and gave 2 stars because it probably works how its intended, however I don't know how any dog could stand this smell.

Wanted to wait a while before writing a review. Have been using the product for my dogs supposedly black skin disease. Tried several products by the vet with no results, along with twice weekly baths with cholohexidine shampoo which only relieved her itching temporarily. Once using this, I noticed the scabs she had and blackness started rubbing away. Started giving her a biweekly " spa" day of saturating her skin and fitting her into a tee shirt while it penetrated her skin. Does not smell as bad as some have written, only a trace of sulfur. She has cleared up after 2 mths of treating her with this product and hair has grown back. No more black spot and itching is gone.

I am happy to have my great dane mix have a full healthy coat and will continue to use this product should it ever come back. Seems to be rampant here in south Georgia. My vet cannot believe she is the same dog . Great product and would highly recommend for skin issues … more

When we brought home our four month old rescue Pitbull he was suffering so badly from puppy pyoderma originally misdiagnosed as demodex mange. We tried EVERYTHING to stop the itching and scratching but poor Nugget could get no relief. He scratched his neck, chest, and armpits until they were raw and red. Adding to that, Pits are prone to dry, itchy skin by nature and we just couldn't win. But now a few weeks later a combination of twice daily Hibiclens scrubs, allergy relief treats, and this lotion have completely turned the situation around. Yes, it does smell very medicine-y. However, in my opinion, it is not unpleasant and comparable to the human antiseptic Bactine. It feels thin coming out When we brought home our four month old rescue Pitbull he was suffering so badly from puppy pyoderma originally misdiagnosed as demodex mange.

He doesn't seem to mind it and lets us rub it in once in the morning and once before bed. Will have to monitor things long term but definitely see a difference already. … more

Dear Chewy.com I really appreciate how fast I received the ointment for Hazel's ears. Worked like a charm! So pleased.

This lotion does seem to help with the dry skin issue. However, it has a strong smell and I didn't care for it. I rubbed it in as directed on my dog's chest and belly. It stayed a little greasy for quite a while. I thought I'd used too much the first time, though I didn't really think so at the time. So, I used very little the next day. It was still greasy. It has a little bit of a grainy texture. I'm sure that's to help with getting dry/dead skin off. But, I didn't like that factor, especially as you are supposed to rub it in well so it won't be greasy. The grainy texture is very fine. But, I didn't want to continue to use it on my dog's sensitive, hairless belly area.

My dog has serious unexplained hair loss. Vets haven't found an explanation. I was excited about finding this lotion, as it seemed to have some potential. After applying for the first time, my wife began to complain of a smell like burning rubber. Yes, it was the lotion. Wouldn't you think they could have added something to the lotion to make the smell acceptable? No way I could talk my wife into living with that smell while we waited to see if it helped my dog grow hair.

My Frenchie had what appeared to be scabbed over hives and was shedding patches of fur...5 generous applications and his coat and skin look great and no more shedding...amazing Thank you

This product went way beyond my expectations. It healed my 20-year-old dogs skin problems that she had for the last seven years.
