Side by Side Comparison of: New-Skin vs Curad vs Chemance vs BSN Medical

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.

Very good

Works great

GOOD PRODUCT, REPEATED PURCHASE

love this a great product always have on with me

great product

Amazing stuff. Wish I had purchased a larger size.

Curad flex bandage spray is awesome. I had been using it for a minor cut that is hard to get a bandage properly to adhere and cover. It works great.A day ago I was cutting an item I slipped and cut my thumb pretty well. I was having a rough time getting it to stop bleeding. I applied the Curad flex bandage and in a few seconds it sealed and stopped the bleeding. I am very impressed and will be a returning happy customer.

Good for areas that a band aid won't stay. Good for washing because of being waterproof.

Excellent! Works great for sealing fake tattoos for cosplay!

Why can't I find this in stores anymore? If anyone knows which store sells these please comment here and tell me! This is the BEST for scrapes and cuts on hands and bendy parts. My boys scream when they see it, and I figure "Hey,it's not like it's Bactine or something, get back here?" but it coats and seals and protects their scraped up bendy parts so they can go back to playing. Also with hairy arms and legs, bandaids don't stick well, so this is a no-brainer and lasts for a day or two with a few coats. It stings a bit at first (I also use it on me, especially on fingers/hands) but the second coat doesn't hurt. It even will fill in little cuts so they will stop opening up and start healing. It's not globby and yellow like New Skin or liquid bandage. This stuff is the best and I wish I could find it locally. We go through a lot of it!

Works really well. Suggestion: if spraying onto hand cuts, position over a garbage can and spray. Overspray can be sticky to clean up. I had two cuts 3 days ago: one I used this stuff, the other I used Liquid Bandage. The LB cut got a little infected, had to clean it and reseal it again, the one using this (which was bigger) never caused me a moment more trouble.

Glue me up Scottie! This stuff is the best. Cut myself while vacationing at the beach and it glued my cut very well. I was able to put on a waterproof bandage on top and swim and play hard all week without skipping a beat. Just reapplied nightly after being in and out of water all day long.

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.

When a bandage strip just won't work, this will keep a wound clean and covered.

It works well witj my flats. I still yet to try it with my heels. I thinks it may work well but I hopefully will try it for heels soon .

Just used it once so far, but was impress with it!

This stuff works but stings so I often hesitate to use it.

Loud but effective for places where a bandaid is difficult to use, i.e., hand, wrist. The smell might bother some. Good product.

small but ok works

Does the trick in a pinch but it will peel off fairly easily.

Good bandage spray. Will buy again!

I have not had a chance to use it, however as a former EMT, I could see a reason to have and keep with me. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it is TINY for the price! Once I have a chance to use it I will update the review.

Bit small, but works great.

Satisfied customer.

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.

Smell bad. Hard to take it offf

ok

I bought the spray=on version of New Skin to compare against the older, brush-on style. Here are my findings:PROS:+ Like the brush-on New Skin, this product is great for quickly sealing and protecting cuts on pars of your body where traditional band-aids don't work well -- joints, especially fingers and hands.+ The product dries in about 3 minutes into a mostly-clear, somewhat flexible synthetic "scab."+ Because it is a spray, there is little or no risk of cross-contamination between users, in contrast to pathogens that might conceivably be communicated between users sharing the brush-on model. However, the antiseptic properties of New Skin itself make it unlikely any pathogen would survive that contamination route.+ In contrast to Band-aids, you can shower or wash a cut protected by New Skin, and it won't get soggy or wash away.CONS:- Hard to aim the spray in exactly the right place.- Often squirts on more New Skin than you really want. requiring extended drying times.- After a day or so, New Skin tends to crack and flake, requiring trimming (I use nail scissors) or re-sealing with more New Skin.CONCLUSIONS:New skin is far superior to Band-aids for cuts on your hands, elbows, knees, or feet. However, the spray-on version of New Skin is inferior to its brush-on version because it does not provide sufficient control over where and how much New Skin is applied.This product is good, but the brush-on version is better..

If you're expecting a liquid skin that deals with the mess of protecting cuts and bruises from elements - yes , it can do an OK job.Ber in mind in can be washed off, tears easily once cure and flakes in the process. Cannot say if any cuts I took were faster to close. Oh well.

Very Small cans !!

Spray tends to hit a much larger area than you want.

I normally use a different brand of liquid bandage, that is not clear, and thought this might be an improvement. It was not, it did not seal the wound I used it on, even after several coats, and it ran down my leg before drying. This did not dry as quickly as the brand i normally buy.It may work for very minor scratches, but I personally will not buy this brand again...

Works well on skin scrapes not so much on deeper cuts.

This stings like all get out when applied, but it does seem to stay in place for a long time. I give it two coats, at least, with plenty of dry time between. I won't be using this on a child, but it's okay for adults who can handle the sting without screaming.

ok

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.

Prevents infection, but I'm glad I used it on myself before applying to cuts and scrapes on my grandkids. Reminds me of the iodine we used when I was a kid.

OUCH! It really hurts and stings.

Not like the old curad spray- didn't cover well or film over well I thought- wish i could get the old curad stuff- that worked well- I suppose it filmed over enough though if you have a cut to keep debri out- I just need something a bit stronger and more of a film-

Not as thick as other spray bandage brand. I needed more of a protective layer for cuts on hands and fingers, this just was too thin.

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.

It comes out of the nozzle too fast. I purchased this at CVS because I needed immediately and they did not have the one with the brush. I only recommend using this when you have a larger cut and you can use the hand that you use every day for things to put your finger on the nozzle. Otherwise it comes out way too fast. When you use the one with the brush like I just ordered and it just came in yesterday you have full and total control of how much you put on it doesn’t go all over the place. I have diabetes and I cut my finger a lot more than I should for some unknown reason so I wash my hands frequently as most people do I have to continuously change a band aid. Now eventually I got it down where I could spray it kind of without going all over the place you have to put on multiple coats and yes it does work and yes it becomes waterproof. But here’s what happened to me after only having it for three days all the air pressure went out of the can and I have a half used can that I paid almost $11 for that I have to throw in the garbage. I have a picture down below above. This stuff works great if you have a large cut I recommend the new skin with the brush for any small cuts because you don’t have to have it go all over the place

0.it doesnt even have a clipper i thought when i bought it it has that thing included but i was wrong it doesnt have it.so i have to order that thing seperately and im disappointed that i cant even use it without that.and that is also much expensive than the tag remover.

The product continually plugs up the spray nozzle, rendering it unusable.

Terrible. Only worked for 1 day and then the sprayer stopped spraying. You can hear the product in the can but it is not coming out. Burns like hell and left a scar on my hand where I used it. When I contacted the company on their facebook page and emailed them about the broken product they ignored me, so I'm certain they know they are selling a faulty product. I used to be pretty loyal to New Skin products, after this I'm never using them again.

takes way too long to dry

The odor was so strong, I can't subject everyone else to it. Did a great job of coating my irregular wound, but I can't take this outside. Shame the product is being wasted. When I was young, the brush on version was easier to tolerate.

Doesn't do as it says. Waist of money

Not good, burns when applied and does not keep wound dry.

Didnt work for me - peels off and doesn't stick
