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

I just finished 21 rounds of radiation. This cream was excellent at keeping my skin moisturized. I hardly had any redness. I feel this cream did what it says. I showered few hours before radiation so I didn’t put it on before but after and all night I would reapply. It is very soothing. I think it was worth the money.

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.

Works Great

Works well on skin

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

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.

Who knew they made a body/face cream just for radiation? We sure didn't, but a quick look on amazon and this Unscented Radiation Burn Relief Cream came up with excellent reviews. Well those reviews were right on the money. My husband puts this cream on his neck and upper chest every morning and right before bed. After several weeks of radiation we do not see any change in his skin. I believe we will have cream left over after his sessions, but this cream will not go to waste, as it is an excellen moisturizer. He has even said he would like to continue using this cream after his therapy ends. For me that is win, as using moisturizer is something he has never enjoyed until now.This would make an excellent gift for anyone that might be going through radiation therapy in the future. It is always hard to know what to say or do when someone is ill, but a gift of cream is always a welcome surprise.The fact that this cream is unscented is a good thing for those with sensitive skin.We will be purchasing again, especially for any friends or family going through radiation.

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.
