Side by Side Comparison of: Miracle Care vs New-Skin

My cat had a large scab that was taking ages to heal, he eventually scratched the scab off and was left with a nasty wound that he kept scratching, and it kept bleeding, and my dog kept licking it. So I tried the liquid bandage spray, I managed to get one good spray on first time, it didnt seem to bother him, it seemed to dry just fine and completely withstood his vigorous scratching and the dogs licking. It healed super fast, I think it has a substance to aid healing and this really seemed to work. The wound was on his back and so hard for him to lick himself, so I can't say how effective this would be if he could have got to it more easily, but it really did work.

My boxer mix had some cuts on the ends of hears thanks to his brothers playful spirit and they just wouldn't heal! I finally got this stuff and only had to use it 2-3 times before the wounds healed! Wonderful product!

I have used on many scratches that my dog has had. A new puppy was biting him on the cheek. I would spray this on the area and would help keep it clean

why pay more for a tiny amount works great on "humans"the liquid bandage at big box story has a tiny amount and costs more---phewy on thatI'll just bark a bit while i put on my kid

My cat had a minor cut/sore from trying to shave off matted hair. I was very concerned about taking her to the vet. I saw this online and took a chance and it healed like gangbusters. It did not sting or hurt her and within 2 weeks the patch of hair grew back! I highly recommend this product!

Works as advertised and you get a LOT of product for the price compared to buying other spray bandage brands. This dries very fast and you can add medication over it which is a plus. Just be sure to wash and thoroughly dry the area to be sprayed with this liquid bandage first so it adheres properly.

Love it. In the 1950's used it regularly, and glad to see it again. I have scratches from dog claws and this helps them heal quickly, and with less or no scabbing. I bought two of them, so I have plenty. It does have a strong odor (like nail polish remover), that dissipates in a reasonable time.

Not only used for bandaging weird areas that bandaids don't seem to stay anymore!I use a marker to write on my children's arms, writing emergency contact name and numbers, and cover with this. I make sure that I layer a wider box around it so if it keeps at all (it takes hours to peel) then I still have a window of time before the peeling gets close to the writing.Great for amusement parks, water parks, but sporting events or concerts, just to name a few.

This belongs in every restaurant first aid box and every chefs knife roll. Stop the bleeding first and paint this on you can do service in an open kitchen with little worry of you bleeding again or getting a cut infected in front of customers. I personally use 3 coats just to be safe.

I haven't used band-aids once since I discovered this product. I use it for cuts, scrapes, and everyday abrasions. Seals the wound, keeps it waterproof, and heals so much faster. I'll never be without this.

I remember having this product years ago, and for smaller scrapes and small cuts along the hands, this is a much better alternative than a bandage. I also bought the spray-on version which is thinner and a very good option for friction burns, etc.

This product works well. On a open cut it will sting when first put on and it does have the pungent odor of cloves, I don't mind the smell but if you don't like cloves it's not for you. It is far superior to band-aids for small cuts, once past the initial sting with the cut sealed they sting no more. In my opinion because of the flexible seal created cuts heal better and are unquestionably less annoying while they heal.Eventually as the bottle drains and more air crepes in the product will thicken but remains usable for quite some time. I typically have to reapply once or twice a day. I wouldn't call it perfect but it works well enough that I've continued to buy it over a number of years and have a bottle at home and work.

It works OK.

Good first aid

A little messy to apply. Lots of oversprayTakes a while to dry - probably 3-5 minutes before the shine was gone. Otherwise it will wipe offI bought this specifically for my child with autism. He started chewing on his fingertips a lot when he got his first loose tooth. I actually bought a liquid bandaid marketed to humans but it took weeks to arrive. After the first week I ordered Miracle Care and had it shipped with prime. I did try it on myself first and we use it specifically before we use the kiddie pool. I don't think it stays on very long otherwise.It doesn't stop active bleeding, which I didn't expect. But, it does add a layer of protection for open wounds or the super delicate fine skin. Unfortunately we have 2 more loose teeth to deal with and this can help deter him from chewing on his hands. It did stay on in our kiddie pool but after an hour of play it seemed to come off pretty much. It does not sting though, so if you have been using the nail polish style stuff this is a good alternative that does not sting.

This anti itch spray seems to help my diabetic cats seasonal skin allergy.Along with an antibiotic, his scratching has stopped and the open scratch wounds are healing well!!

I have been using this spray to help my dogs heal from scratches and hot spots. It works wonderfully at keeping wounds clean, and works on those tough to bandage spots perfectly. Just make sure you clean out the wound first and keep your dog still for a few minutes after application to let it dry. My dogs are compulsive lickers, and this has only deterred that a little. It does discourage them from licking each other.Miracle Care First Aid Liquid Bandage has become a permanent part of my pet first aid kit.

I needed a spray bandage for my older dog because he kept chewing the conventional bandaging off. He even chewed one off with a cone on his head! I applied as directed and it definitely kept him from causing any further damage and he didn't get infected.

Awesome product. Only 4 stars because it stings like crazy. I am an adult and I almost cried putting it on. My kids cry every time we use it. However, despite the sting, it works very well. Had it on the night before and the next day my kid was able to go swimming without any problems even with wounds on both her knees.

Works great, but I wish there were single use packets available. Most of the bottle ends up going to waste​ as soon as somebody I work with picks it up and uses it... I either give it to them or toss it in the trash, as that doesn't seem safe to me.

Works very well to cover skin irritations. Be aware it does take some time to dry, so you should be careful until it's fully cured. The only reason a deducted a star is because of the drying time, else I would give it 5 stars.

This is a great product for minor scrapes and it especially shines for paper cuts. All you have to do is press your skin together, apply a little drop, and let it dry. It'll create a waterproof seal and it is flexible enough to be used on finger joints. The really minor drawback is that it takes about a minute to dry.

Surprising how much it burned when I first put it on a cut. It does the job but if your using your hands to disconnect cables or plug in cables, the glue has a tendency to come off. For this reason I always keep a bottle at work. The burning is worth it as once the glue dries, the pain stops. I also dont mind the pain anymore. Rather amazing invention.

I have Raynauds so have splits in my fingers all the time. I have gone through hundreds of dollars worth of tape which is useless if you wash your hands as often as you should because you spend all day removing and replacing bandages. My brother told me about New Skin and I have been using it since. The burn when you put it on, seemingly from an antiseptic, is overkill as far as I am concerned for no one should have to suffer pain when we could just as easily use soap or Betadine but one day maybe companies will listen to patients. Meanwhile it is New Skin or Dermaplast (which you must mortgage your house to buy). It only lasts 24 hours then you have to peel it off and reapply if the cut/split has not started to mend. I reapply for a week or so. Movement once you use New Skin is not a problem as it is with tape. It is especially helpful on splits that go under your fingernail where tape is useless. And it is wonderful when putting on mittens/gloves where tape is not as it balls and falls off.

It was okay when my dog gotten cut when i was cutting his nails and he was bleeding so i spary to his wound but it was still bleeding. the spary didnt stop the bleeding so I dont think it actullly work for my case.

works as advertised but not bitter enough to keep my dog from chewing her leg and foot.

I'm sure this works on many things, but it does not deter my dog at all from licking her "hot spots", on her front legs. Doesn't even slow her down! Does seem to help them heal a little, as long as she has a cone on.

I love the concept but not sure if it works. I know it smells and burns but it made my dog want to like more. I did make him leave it alone until it dried but to be fair he was licking it before and after so just not sure.

Takes quite awhile to dry, and does not stay on very well, but good for emergencies when nothing else is available. My dog licks it right off if he can reach it.

This is supposed to have some bitter tasting element in it but it can't be that bad because it didn't keep my dog from licking himself. My hope for this product was to help deter his licking and biting during his rough allergy seasons. Maybe if your dog doesn't have any other issues this might help, but like I said it didn't stop him from licking himself.He has all year long allergies and sometimes the prednisone RX from the vet and the additional items I give him aren't enough to keep him from licking or biting.He also takes (all bought from amazon):Omega-Caps ES - For Large & Giant Dogs (250 Softgel Capsules) (these are much cheaper and work the same as AllerG - 3 Large Giant Breed 250 Capsules.)Pet-Tabs Plus - 365 ctIf he's doing really bad I'll give him Benadryl as well, but the next step is a $100 vet trip for a shot :(

I used this on my index finger cuticle which got over-dried and started to split. I just applied two coats over the skin. It was like nail polish and made my finger very shinny ( that's OK). After I did the dishes I realized the more skin was peeling with this liquid bandage hanging from the peeling skin.I did not know the point of using it. I will find the other use around the house.

This stuff is okay. I can't say it does great, because it winds up peeling off not long after I put it on, but it helps sometimes. I have been using it for paper cuts and for when the tips of my fingers split due to the weather, but I wish it worked better than it does. I feel like it just makes the fingers stiff, and that is about all it does.

I got this a few years ago and loved it. got a new bottle, and it stings like crazy (old one stung far less). Also doesn't seem to be working as well. Lots of others are saying the formula changed, which I can believe.

It burns like dickens and you have to do many applications before it will stay.

I used this when I was doing glass mosaic work and getting a few tiny cuts now and then. It didn't really seal up the skin as well as I'd expected and stung a bit, so I stopped using it.

Works for some things better than others... i used this on a small, superficial cut on my finger, and it really helped it heal. At first, it stings to use and smells like nail polish, which turned me off. However my cut went away pretty quickly. On another part of my hand though, I put a thicker layer on, and it was very itchy and uncomfotble. I immediately tried to remove it, but it was difficult and resulted in tearing my skin. Overall, I'd recommend only using a thin layer of this on small, superficial cuts.

Just not what I was looking for it was so drippy and I never got a sense of a bandage at all...I'm not sure what I expected but I couldn't use this.

My dog had an open wound on her paw that she kept licking. For the first few days, the spray worked but eventually, she went back to licking her paw.

Must have been in a hurry to find liquid bandage at a good price. "Miracle Care First Aid Liquid Bandage 4 ounce" doesn't really convey the point that it's for dogs, not humans. I found out too late for a return. Could be a great dog product. Isn't designed and may not be appropriate for humans .

I have tried to use this many time on my dogs leg. I will spray his leg and then for the first few minutes make him wear a cone until the spray is dry. As soon as I take off the cone he starts licking it off. I have even tried spraying his leg and not putting the cone on thinking if the spray eas wet the bitterness would be more intense but that did not stop him at all.The low rating is primarily for anti-chew part.

Cat has non-bleeding open chewed wounds on paw pads.Sprayed on wound.Let it dry for 5 minutes.Cat immediately licked it off.Tried this process several times.This product does not harden like Band-Aid brand Liquid Bandage.Recommendation from my veterinarian is to allow wound to be open and cat to walk on it as normal - even in litter box. And, we just clean it daily. No bandages, no sprays. Just keep it cleaned daily and allow to heal naturally. Prevent cat from biting it - use a flexible cone collar.

Was supposed to dry and leave a protective film. It didn't. Stayed wet and sticky. Also, the bitterness didn't keep her from licking her wound. Had to resort to the cone of shame.

smell so bad and it's only provide very thin layer of the product on your wound. no matter how many times you applied this product to your wound also it's hurt when you applied this product to your wound

Basically nail polish for your skin.

It stings like a bee. Ok for me, not ok for my kids.

I was disappointed because I specifically bought this because it said it has clove oils in the description for inactive ingredients. But when the package arrived it dis not say that anywhere on the box and does not contain it. That is false advertising.

Maybe there's a trick to using this, but when I tried it on the first cut I got after having purchased it, it stung like crazy and still bled right through it! I thought it was going to be a great alternative alleviating the need for band-aids that get wet or just come loose and fall off, but it's not. I won't be buying this again.

I'll "cut" to the chase....It hurts like a....umm....a lot. It does cover the wound and create a barrier but it hurts and it takes longer to dry than I thought it would. I will only use this if a bandage is completely impossible. And even then I would rather just keep it clean and go without anything if I can.

Didn't work at all. The dogs clearly don't like the taste, but it doesn't stay on long enough to matter. A couple of licks and it's off and they can continue licking non-stop.

This not only irritated my dog's skin, it did not dry or cover the wound at all. She actually kept licking after applying the bandage, which then made her sick as well.

Didn't stop my dogs from licking off (other) lotion, didn't stop chewing skin, didn't clear up skin ...didn't seem to work well for anything. Water consistency, hard to apply.

This is the tiniest, most expensive bottle of ALCOHOL I've ever bought! Seriously, the first ingredient is 70% isopropyl alcohol, the second ingredient is water! Whoever decided to call this "lotion" obviously doesn't know what lotion is. This is a clear liquid! Since it's mostly alcohol, it evaporates within a few minutes. You would be better off buying the bitter apple spray.

This product is another waste of money. After following the application directions, my dog proceeded to Lick the affected area more than before using this product. Also the sprayer clogged up after two applications.

After reading reviews, we thought this might work for our poodle mix who has some itchy places. Not only didn't it work, it even may have made the problem worse in that she started scratching even more. Now we're looking at going grain-free on her dog food, an expensive solution and hopefully helpful.

Waste of money.. didnt work

Product had been previously opened. looks to be used previously.

Other reviewers must be nose deaf.Can you possibly make this stuff stink any worse.Fire the people in your marketing group who utter the phrase "I like the way it smells".Keywords: "it smells".

This product does nothing as promised. Even on a small cut, with multiple applications, it is not waterproof, nor does it seal or protect the area of application either. I would like to request a refund, and would not recommend this product at all.

I got this for my 2 year old who is bounds to end up with scrapes and cuts... first time I used it he went ape and would never allow to use again. Next time I used it on myself and now I see why he didn't find it too pleasant. This stuff stings like a mother.

I had been using what remained in a bottle my Dad gave me. Anyone who works with their hands know how invaluable this product was.... I say WAS because the formula has been changed. HOWEVER Amazon still has the old ingredients listed in the purchase info. That is NOT the product you will receive. The former active ingredient was 8-hydroxyquinoline 1%.....now it is Benzethonium Chloride 0.2%. You will receive the new product....gone is the oil of clove, and the magically sealing, pain relieving liquid that has rescued my hands many a time! The new product does absolutely NOTHING. You might as well use clear nail polish. I had to get up in the middle of the night and dig out my old bottle to apply.....instant pain relief. Awwwwww. Today I bought a few back ups of the good stuff on EBay..darn those manufacturers. Amazon, please update your ingredient info!!!! In the photo, my beloved bottle is on the left.....notice the change of ingredient.
