Side by Side Comparison of: Nexcare

This is an amazing product! I used to get it at the drug store but none of them carry it any longer. It does NOT burn like some of them do. I've had this wound for months and wound care nurses who were not familiar with stripable skin. After she tore my skin off with the tape, I was able to repair myself with this product. I fired that nurse, but have shown the other nurses how to remove tape more carefully and they are using this product on others who have tissue breakdown due to all the tape.

TRULY DOES NOT STING. Because my husband is going through chemo therapy, his cuts are very sensitive. This liquid bandage is definitely worth the price.

Product arrived on time, as expected and well packaged. Product is perfect for minor scrapes and cuts especially for children who do not care for painful second skin options who do not stay dry. Also perfect when bandaids are not ideal.... perfect for the hockey or skating mom always slicing their fingers

This is the best to use for little ones it doesn't sing and brings instant relief. I have used it on my kids since they were babies. It wears off after a few baths.

Love this stuff! I am an emergency physician, and a soccer mom, and I keep this in my first aid kit. It doesn't sting at all, unlike the other brands I have tried. It is a dirt magnet, like all skin glues. so I always warn everyone after I apply it that it will protect the scrape even though it attracts alot of dirt and looks horrible!!

I have a skin condition on my arms that makes it impossible to use ordinary bandages. My thin skin tares when I try to remove them. I have tried other liquid bandage products and they sting greatly and take for ever to dry. The smell of these others lingers for hours. The Nextcare spray bandage doesn't sting or smell. It dries fast and lasts for days. I am so happy the item is available on line since it is hard to find in drug stores.

This stuff is amazing, I have been buying it for years and am so thinkful the company made something like this!

At taking care of SKIN CRACKS this is the best product out there. It is not a liquid bandage! If your knuckles are frayed or abraded, or you have fingertip cracks, this stuff will allow the area to heal with a flexible coating of liquid that dries to a pliable clear finish. It will need to be re-applied for a few days until healing is complete. It is not for open wounds, or cuts. It is for ... skin cracks!

I've been using this product for over a year now and I think it's great. I've used a similar product in the past, but it stung badly when I applied it. This stuff barely stings at all, and only on the deepest cuts. I use it frequently around my fingernails and it cuts down on pain.

If you have those cuts on your hands in the Winter like I get then this is what you'll need. I get cut to ribbons because my hands are in water a lot and in the Winter that can be very bad. We have very hard water and my hands sting with pain with the cuts. I just brush this on, it's like nail polish and the stinging is gone. It stays too! It drys on your skin protecting it from the water. I apply it once a week. You only need it on the cuts. I use Zim's crack creme for the rawness and that works great too.

If you let your fingers get too dehydrated (O'Keeffe's Working Hands is the best I have found as a moisturizer), this will temporarily close the cracks. It is the best product I have found. It is much like nail polish. It has much better sealing and adhesive properties than New Skin. I really have not found a product nearly as good as this one.The only down side is that the bottle dries out after a while.

This is a great buy with 24 ounces in total as opposed to tiny bottles that look like nail polish. You may need to put it on up to four times a day as the finger protectors my husband wears cause sweating and also friction causes it to wear off. This works well but it is not thick-about the consistency of clear nail polish so you may have to put on more than one coat at a time. It helps in conjunction with the waterproof finger protectors he wears as well as latex gloves when he washes dishes. It is not tacky or sticky and will not cling to gloves. Will continue buying this product.

Doesn't cover well but works in a pinch

This is definitely no sting otherwise my 2 yr old would have screamed with there was more product in the small container.

Not a perfect seal on the first try, but much better than just letting a cut flow freely.

This is a really good idea, but it is little sticky. My kids didn't like how it was sticky after I sprayed it on. My oldest son washed it off right away because it bugged him so bad.

Works wonderfully, but goes on a little thinly. It does not sting at all. Works well over larger areas. For smaller areas or cuts use the Nextcare Skin Crack Care. Seals to keep the water out, but does wash/wear off over the course of a day so you will have to apply several times. Good stuff though!!! I'd really like to give this 4.5 stars rather than 4 because it's better than 4 stars.

My Dad has very thin skin and it tears very easily. He also has to take blood thinners and bleeds a lot, even if its just a scratch. He can't use bandaids on a wound, even minor one, because when he tries to remove the bandaid, the sticky on it tears his skin worse. This spray on bandage works really good. Only prob is to get the wound to stop his bleeding in order to apply on the spray. I would recommend this product. Very effective for the elderly with fragile skin.

Never mind that other brand that stings like crazy. This one does not. And when you put it on it lasts longer. It comes in a pretty small bottle. but I've had mine long enough for it to get a bit dried out and gloppy and since I need to pitch that and buy another my guess is the size is just right unless you've got a pile of kids who are always cutting and scraping themselves. So it's kind of pricey, especially per ounce compared to the competition, but I would seriously buy it again because it doesn't hurt to put it on a cut.

So small of amount, crazy the bottle tiny it my just fall over, other then the 10 bucks and the bottle, it works. will end up looking for a different brand.

Cold weather arrives and I get fingers with painful cracks, especially after a few hours shoveling snow. I tried lotions, bandages, gloves - no luck. NexCare seals the crack allowing it to heal. Best of all it seems when it seals the crack, the pain is minimized.

This stuff doesn't sting and works pretty well. However the only draw back was that the edges would peel and hurt other cracks. This is probably not an issue for most people since I have numerous cracks at all times.

This stuff is great for sealing up small cuts or cracks in your hands and feet. I use this all of the time and it works really well.The price always seems ridiculous for the tiny bottle of it you get. That said I keep buying the product because it works and I always want a bottle of it in my 1st aid kit.

I was extremely pleased for many years with the original Band-Aid Liquid Bandage which contained the miracle ingredient 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, a human-safe version of superglue which is currently used by doctors/surgeons/vets as the best available product. This Nexcare product doesn't work as well in any respect compared to the original, and 3M knows it, but it is no longer sold over the counter to people (evidently too many folks were not careful in using it). Note that acetone (horribly stinky nail-polish remover) or mineral oil or any superglue remover does remove this human-safe version of superglue, but this was not common-enough knowledge and folks did not have a remover readily available when they misused it. So it was removed from the consumer market several years ago, evidently due to liability concerns.I used the original Band-Aid liquid bandage for many years for my painful winter skin cracks. A miracle product since it instantly cut the pain. When it was discontinued I tried literally every other product on the market and all had serious deficiencies. This Nexcare liquid bandaid is adequate in filling skin cracks except it doesn't cut the pain at all (my main gripe) and doesn't last nearly as long.I just serendipitously stumbled onto the wikipedia entry for Cyanoacrylate, which includes this in its introductory remarks:"2-octyl cyanoacrylate is a medical grade glue encountered under various trade names; e.g., LiquiBand, SurgiSeal, FloraSeal, Dermabond, Orabase, Surgi-Lock and Nexaband. This was developed to be non-toxic and less irritating to skin tissue."I searched amazon and the only two products in the list of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate products above from wikipedia that are sold (by amazon) are Dermabond (0.5ml for $17) and Surgi-Lock 2oc (2.0ml for $40). There is no other liquid bandage that compares to a product with the main ingredient cyano 2oc -- at least that is what the medical establishment believes (and I know from years of experience, having tried all the liquid bandages on the market). Sorry the real stuff is expensive, but you get what you pay for (plus they can charge doctors nearly any price and get away with it).===============================================================Off topic somewhat, the doctors in our family have recently turned me on to an excellent non-liquid bandage which they use, but a year later, pharmacies still do not sell this quite amazing product. However Amazon does sell it, "3M Micropore paper tape" (also called "3M Micropore surgical tape" because that's what surgeons use). 12 small portable rolls of 10 yards(!) each are about $10, which will last you forever. I have been using the 1" wide version for the past year (also have the 2" wide version, but haven't had a wound that wide yet :-) and am very impressed by its properties. You can easily tear it by hand (no scissors needed!) to the length you want, you can put it on a wound in one layer or wrap it around a finger one or more times. It is "micropore", ie. it lets the wound breathe, and is waterproof enough to stay on through a couple of days of showers.================================================================12/26/14 update: "3M Vetbond" is currently the most cost-effective of the thin medical-grade cyanoacrylate products.Apply one layer (1 drop), let dry (blow on it for faster drying), then apply one or two more layers (drops) and let dry between each, to get the desired thickness.One bottle should last for at 50 two-drop skin crack fixups.By the way, the "3M Nexcare skin crack care" product is almost useless in comparison to "3M Vetbond"

meh. not impressed

I primarily bought this item for my 3 y/o daughter who hates and will not wear any type of bandages. It did the job and did not sting which was great! When I tried it on myself I found it to be VERY sticky upon applying and really didn't hold the blood in from my small cut. So if you are going to use this item make sure the bleeding has stopped before applying. Other than that it was a great purchase.

A pain to apply on parts distant from the bottle in one's hand. For example, aiming for the sweet spot on a foot is an exercise, hit, miss, and maybe. The bottle is very small, the mist sprayed outward and or downward, is diffuse, colorless, and prone to drift past its destination, in other words, it's wasted, most of it. If it gets there, and th at's hard to see on initial application, it does its job and lasts for a bit, but only a bit. It is also rather expensive, considering the amt. wasted . I will not buy again. Wish it had been a better product within in a more intelligent spray and mist container. There is no indicator, for example of where the spray is emitted. A little dab of color could easily accomplish that. And make application a darned sight more thrifty

A quick & effective way of covering a minor wound when there os no time to do proper bandaging. Not a substitute for a proper bandage.

I have no idea what kind of pain tolerance a person must have to think of this as "painful"---anyway, it doesn't go on in one coat (so it wont last long)and you really do have to re-do it after every shower. Unless my scrape was too deep and long---but that is exactly what they say it is meant for?

Doesn't sting or smell yet works for light duty cuts. New Skin is better for heavy cuts, I once stopped a deep glass cut on my leg with New Skin that this Nexcare is not thick enough to handle. Nexcare would be great for kids light cuts with New Skin as a backup for heaver cuts.

A good solution to nasty winter cracked finger tips A++

Thank you~~

I have used it several time but not sure if it is doing any good but I wouldn't say it wouldn't work for you

I work a lot of overtime and my skin sometimes cracks on my fingers. Tried this, applied it several times and could not tell much difference. Don;t think I'll buy it again.

I have to apply it often to protect the crack on my finger. It wears off too quickly. I probably won't buy it again.

My husband gets awful cracks from working outdoors and we were excited when we saw this product. It helped but wasn't a miracle cure. I think that a good hand creme applied many times a day works just as well. He also applies creme and wraps his fingers overnight. That seems to help the most.

Seems like a nice product. Unbelievably skimpy as far as number of applications for the money spent. This is a little bottle of specialized liquid. I feel that its price greatly outweighs its value due to the small portion you get in a single spray bottle of it.

Doesn't really seem to do anything. Spray it on and the cut feels the same. Other liquid bandage makes a sealant over the cut.

Shipping took a long time. Product wears off quickly, have to reapply several times on my hand in an hour. Good thing is it did not sting.

Doesn't seem thick enough to protect well.

Just okay at doing its job. Makes a very thin coating, so additional coats are usually needed. Rather expensive too for the amount given. I wonder how they figured they would make the quantity .61 fl oz instead of simply .6. The .01 extra is probably the amount that cannot be extracted from the bottle. I prefer Gluture flexible super glue for tissue.

I usually use the brush-on liquid bandage, but I recently acquired 2 new kittens, which means lots of leg scratches and cuts. I figured this would be an easier to use version, but it's not. It's almost not even noticeable, and doesn't really seal anything (even light scratches bleed through it).

I don't think it works very well. Doesn't last more than a few hours for me.

They stopped carrying this in stores so i was happy to find it on Amazon. However whatever they have changed in the formula for this product makes it about as useful as clear nail polish. Its so thin and washes off after a couple hand washes. This used to be a great product. I wont buy this again..

Like all these products, it works but the bottle is tiny. (.24 oz) New Skin is a much better value for essentially the same product.

This stuff is mildly helpful for those nasty cracks between finger and nail that tend to develop in winter, but you have to keep reapplying, and should probably apply liquid bandage over that. I'm a finger-picking guitarist, and my fingers really take a beating. Using this stuff and liquid bandage provided a cushion eventually, but it looked messy and ugly. I did much better using Working Hands hand cream

Junk. Do not expect this to seal your skin like suture glue or skin glue, far more worth it to go get Vet bond for you AND your pet. This barely seals and wears off quickly.

It sealed nicely initially but after washing my hands for the 2nd time in 3 hours, 1/3 of it peeled off. Continuing throught my day the remainder pealed off due to perspiration or something. In the end, I just used Krazy glue and it stayed strong for 3 days. This stuff probably only works on cuts that are not on the hands and are not on joints. I had a cut on the joint of my pinky finger. After the initial 10 minutes of burning and drying, it maybe lasted 30 minutes before I bent my finger and it cracked down the middle, allowing more pain and such into my cut. Seriously, dont wast your time with this and just use krazy glue, they both use acrylate polymer.

Disappointed. After two short sprays the bottle is almost empty. Also does not have any pain control. I prefer dermoplast.

I will never buy it again it didn't work and it did sting

This is fairly worthless now that I had to use it. I sprayed on maybe ten coats and it essentially did nothing. No coverage, and whatever touched the cut i could still feel through many coats of this junk.

Does not sting but does not provide decent protection either.

The bottle was half-full on arrival. I used it once and it did okay. The next time I tried to use it the sprayer was clogged and nothing I tried cleared it (hot water, etc). So my recommendation is DO NOT BUY.

This stuff really doesn't work very well, and it leaves a very sticky residue all over the place. Definitely not worth it, no sting or not. It just doesn't do the job.

Didn't work. Cheap green handcare moisturizer worked much better.

I have used several products for skin cracks on finger tips. This one failed. I followed the directions carefully, but the cracks reopened. Product did not work for me. I will not buy again.

Didn't work for me on the ball of the foot. I have yet to find one that will work there, however.

Didn't work for my finger tip cracks.

This stuff has all the adhesive properties of Jell-O. Totally useless.The products containing 2-octyl cyanoacrylate are infinitely superior.At least I didn't waste a big pile of money on this.
