This cream works! The itch will not disappear immediately - let it sit for 5min and I would usually put multiple layers that helps with the first moment of irritation but as soon as my skin forgets about the sting, next time I look for the bump and is no longer there. Completely gone! And mind I am a mosquito magnet (crying face)!
The cream is easier to apply too compared to the waxy substance of Murphy’s for example - I do like Murphy’s - that wax also works just not as good as this cream.

I’m a believer now; Zax’s Bug Bite Cream does seem to work to stop the itch from mosquito bites
Review of: Zax’s Original #1 Bug Bite & Anti-Itch CreamI’m on of those unfortunate individuals that mosquitos just seem to love; if there is any mosquito within a five-mile radius of where I’m standing, they seem to came straight for me. And no matter how much bug-spray I use on my body at least one or two mosquitos always seem to be able to find some skin that I didn’t coat as well as I should have.And then, the itch begins. Now, I know I shouldn’t scratch the bite area but sometimes (okay, far too often) I do scratch.I’ve tried all kinds of anti-itch cream in the past; I’ve tried hydrocortisone, lidocaine and others, even benzocaine. None of those creams really helped very much. Some of them simply didn’t help at all.I was hoping that the Zax’s Cream, with 5% colloidal oatmeal, would work … and it seems like it does help to relieve the itch.I had always heard stories of how colloidal oatmeal has been used as a salve, or used in a bath, to help relieve itchy skin but I’ve never tried it before. But now I’m glad that I decided to give the Zax’s a try.The itch-relief is not instantaneous, but it is fast. For me, it was almost a situation where I rubbed the cream on the mosquito bite and there was still an itch, but 5 or 10 minutes later I suddenly realized that the area isn’t itching anymore and I couldn’t quite remember when it stopped itching. I just knew that the area was not itchy any more or at least was far less itchy than it had been.The relief seems to be fairly long lasting; there have been times when I only used the cream once and that got the job done. Other times, I reapplied the cream after a few hours and the remaining itch would be diminished.The cream, I found, rubs into the skin remarkably well and quickly; no rubbing and rubbing and rubbing to work the cream in. Once rubbed it, the there isn’t any stickiness on the skin left by the cream and there isn’t any slickness left on the skin. The skin just feels natural; perhaps a little more moisturized than before but nothing major.There is a very, very slight aroma to the cream but nothing unpleasant and nothing that anyone else would probably notice unless they really close or specifically trying to find the aroma. That might be the menthol or the witch hazel in the product, I don’t know for sure, but in any case, it isn’t a major issue.All-in-all, I’m really pleased with the Zax’s Original #1 Bug Bite & Anti-Itch Cream. For me, it does provide some relief for my mosquito bites.I will mention that, as of July 2020 as this review is being written, the product is showing a $16.49 price for a fairly small tube (see my included picture). That is on the high side but, at the same time, it is one of the few items that seems to work for me. And, since I’m not rubbing the cream over a large part of my body, just dabbing it on a mosquito bit, the cream should last for some time.If you found this review helpful, please click the Helpful button below as that helps me know that I'm providing useful information in these reviews.

I have sensitive skin that's prone to itchy flareups and allergies that exacerbate the effects of any bug bites...so I always try to have some type of anti-itch cream on hand. I hadn't heard of Zax's before, but I was intrigued by its pharmacist-developed formula and natural ingredients...so I decided to give it a try. It actually *does* provide effective itch relief, and it feels soothing on itchy, irritated skin.
The only reasons I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I prefer products with ingredients like camphor that provide an immediate cooling sensation for instant relief (this one has menthol, but the cooling effect isn't as pronounced) and because this is about 3x the cost of the mass-market brands I typically use. Is this an effective, high-quality product? Yes...it performs great and I'm very satisfied with it. But is it 3x better than the $5 creams/gels I usually buy? Nope...I'd say it's on par with those less expensive options.
So, if you're looking for a gentle natural itch-relief cream and prefer products that are made in North America (this one is Canadian), and you don't mind paying a little more for it, Zax's Original Bug Bite & Itch Cream is an excellent choice. But if you're more concerned about price, there are cheaper options out there that are equally effective at stopping the itch.
