New-Skin Liquid Bandage, First Aid Liquid Antiseptic, Over 50 Applications, 0.3 Fluid Ounce

I have been using this product since I was a kid, as my mom used it before me. She is a hairstylist, I am an electrician, but regardless of occupation, I can't imagine a time, (on appropriately sized wounds), that this product isn't perfect.

Does it sting? Yessir it does. I use it on wounds that are probably supposed to be to big for it, so believe me, I have dealt with some stinging. However, as some other reviewers have said, not only does the stinging subside relatively quick, but with it goes the original pain.

Does it stink? Eh, I guess, but when a product works, it's forgiven. Meet someone who is not the most attractive person in the world and then fall in love with them, it might not make them a beauty queen, but they look better all the time to you.

Simply put, this product, when used correctly, works. my recommendations are as follows.

1. Put this product on as you are watching your evening TV. This will accomplish three things, one, it allows you to apply and let dry without thinking about it, two, while you're sleeping, it seems to setup extra strong. It will not just rub off throughout the night, and with no hand washing or anything going on, it really has a chance to take. Finally, you at least have that first overnight period of healing under your belt, and you will often times be amazed at what that small amount of time can accomplish.

2. Apply New Skin generously. As it settles it will thin out, but how thin do you need it to be? I apply two, sometimes three coats.

Using these two tips, I have had wounds heal incredibly fast.

I've used liquid bandage for years, works really well. It is great to put over blisters when you need to keep doing the activity that gave you the blister. It is great on the knuckles under hand-wraps and boxing gloves, especially with new wraps or gloves, either for prevention or after you already have blisters. I've also used it on my thumb for bowling, to prevent blisters or cover up a blister that's already there. It is fairly waterproof as well, and great to put on before swimming. I recommend putting on a couple coats for the best protection, just wait for it to dry between applications. Also, try to apply it and let it dry outside, or at least somewhere with lots of ventilation...It has a strong odor that will stick around for a while.

***This is not a scientific study, all evidence presented is anecdotal. ***

I have now used New Skin twice on relatively large burns and abrasions with amazing results. Once was road rash after a bicycle race (~ 6 square inches over three wounds). The second was second and third degree burns from a camp fire (~ 4 square inches in two wounds).

The road rash healed with almost no scarring, despite being deep enough to burn through the skin and subcutaneous fat.

The burns are currently doing well, though it has only been a week and they have not healed completely.

I have not been able to find many details about using New Skin on wounds this large. I don't know if it is safe, or even a good idea, but it seems to work.

I have used both the spray and the brush applicator form of this product. The spray form is much easier to use and the liquid form is cheaper per application.

In both cases, I did not apply New Skin for hours or days after the injury occurred. When applying I cleaned the wound with an aniceptic wash and allowed it to air dry. After it was dry I applied an even coat over the entire area and a 5-10mm border around the wound. It formed an artificial scab. I reapplied twice a day to fill in cracks and maintain the border. If you reapply a full coat each time you end up with a huge accumulation after a few weeks (1-3mm).

The artificial scabs are transparent, so you ( and everyone around you if you're lucky enough to wound your hand) will be delighted with a view of what I believe is a mixture of plasma, platelets and blood. It looks like puss, but I think it's the liquid that dries to form real scabs (sometimes I spring a leak and it dries into a scab). IF THE WOUND BEGINS TO SWELL, FEEL HOT OR BECOME RED IT MIGHT BE INFECTED.

I get cracks on my fingers which make even washing my hands painful. Standard band-aids (even those that claim to be "waterproof") still allow water to get into the cracks/cuts -and end up falling off anyway once they get wet a few times. Enter "New Skin" liquid band-aid... it works much better than standard band-aids because it bonds directly to your skin. It works well, but I have two complaints...

1) If the cut is on an area that bends (fingers, knees, etc.), there is a good chance the product will eventually open up, breaking the band-aid "seal". It would be great if they could make the product even more flexible to better accommodate cuts on moving parts.

2)[For cuts on fingers] After a few hand-washings I find it starts to peel off at the edges, which makes it kind of look like peeling skin. That, coupled with the fact that the film enhances any redness of the wound, makes the wound look more nasty than it probably is.

Still, it works much better than a standard band-aid, so I would certainly recommend giving it a try. Maybe you won't have the same issues I do.

With MRSA and other Staph infections on the rise, I know that it's important to keep open wounds covered and protected. If you can't cover your wounds with clothing, this is the next best thing.

PS: As another review mentioned, it stings like hell when you first apply it (but you get used to it) and the odor is very strong (I would suggest stepping outside to apply it, or somewhere with good ventilation.

It stung when i first applied it, but it stayed on over two weeks. Thought about picking it off after a week, but then i decided to let it fall off when it wanted to.
