Medique Products 92812 Liquid Skin Bandage, 10 Pack

I made the mistake of buying liquid bandage stuff from the drugstore not realizing it was alcohol based and oh, the agony my poor cracked fingers were in. I have very dry skin, especially in the winter, and my fingers crack along the sides of my fingernails which for such a tiny little wound are so painful. This product fills in those cracks without pain and helps my fingertips heal. You get enough little vials to last a couple of years in my experience. I highly recommend this product.

I purchased this 12-pack of Liquid Skin after buying a package at The Dollar Tree and trying it out. I have issues with cracked skin on my fingers, especially after I've been cleaning and using harsh chemicals. Not only are these cracks extremely painful, but they usually take weeks to heal due to the fact that they are on my hands and I am washing them frequently throughout the day, thus impeding the healing. I developed a crack on my finger just after buying this product and had the chance to try it out right away. I applied the Liquid Skin to my freshly washed and dried crack. It did sting a bit, but that subsided pretty quickly. The liquid smells a lot like super glue, but it didn't dry as quickly and has a little bit of what I'd describe as an oily film to it. The first application didn't take very well, it broke open fairly easily. I wasn't ready to give up though, I went back and applied two more coats of the Liquid Bandage, allowing them to dry completely between application, and that seemed to do the trick. I was left with a waterproof barrier to my wound that lasted until it healed. Because the wound was protected, the healing process was dramatically speeded up compared to normal- about a week, compared to several weeks. I also noticed another skin crack beginning to form and I applied Liquid Skin as a preventive measure and it totally worked to stop the crack from going any deeper into the tissue. My child scratched the palm of her hand the same week and the wound started turning a little red due to the difficulty of keeping a child's hand wound clean. I cleaned and dried her wound, applied several coats of the Liquid Skin, and the wound was then able to heal with the redness subsiding.All of the to say that based on my experience the product is great for wounds that are difficult to keep a traditional bandage on. The only trick to using it to make sure to use several coats in order to ensure a long lasting bandage.

This stuff is awesome! I had a lengthwise cut on one of my fingers that was done with a super sharp knife, while carelessly sharpening it. It was one of those cuts that was so clean it didn’t even hurt or bleed. I noticed it about an hour later. Since it didn’t bleed it didn’t get a scab and was not going to heal. It began to hurt a lot every time I used my finger and the two parts moved against each other under my sterile bandaid. Also the bandaid was not letting the rest of my finger breathe so my cuticle was beginning to have some issues. I was going to just use regular superglue from my garage, but decided maybe a product designed for the purpose was a smarter idea. I ordered these and got next day shipping. I cleaned the cut area very well again (ouch) and then put two coats of this product over it, letting it dry in between. As soon as the second coat dried, I had no move pain with movement as everything was held in place, and I was able to get back to my life without even thinking about it again. Today, about three days later, I noticed the glue had mostly been removed with hand washing etc., so I reapplied it, took a picture and decided to write this review.I used the same tube as the first time. Out of curiosity, after I sealed my finger, I sealed the tube back up with a tiny dollop of hot glue, and stored it sitting upright with the original cap snapped back in place. Three days later I was able to use it again, it had not dried out as I expected it to. This time I sealed it up with candle wax (too lazy to get the hot glue gun out again) we’ll see if it works as well.One time use or multiple, through creative resealing, a great product and something I’ve added to all my first aid kits.

My husband is a BIG-TIME bleeder. I carry four different cases with every coagulant, antiseptic, and bandage I can find. A tap to a wall will make him bleed profusely, and the wound lasts a long time. Different products work better for different kinds and sizes of wounds. I just tried this product - and it is absolutely AMAZING. Seals the wound and wears off, so it's not a challenge to remove it and clean the wound. So what's the problem? It is a huge challenge to get this out of the tube. I am honestly thinking of carrying a pair of pliers to squeeze the tube hard enough to get the gel out. Very frustrating, because otherwise, this is a true gift. Please, Medique - can you make it easier to get this gel out of the tube???

So far as I know it does it's job. Put on half a tube on a foot cut and it has stayed on through snow adventures and soaking feet. As well as showering and taking socks on and off while wet. Pros? Works great. Dries fast and stays on. Cons? Costly as heck. Can't seal tube so once you open one you either gotta use it all or somehow store vertically. Perhaps taping over the end to prevent the liquid from getting out. When it's not 400$ a gallon I'd consider getting more to give to people I know. But as it stands cost is exorbitantly high for something that isn't revolutionary.

I bought this item to put my first aid kit for the house, it doesn't expire for over another year and just went to ease it for the first time and every single one of them was dried out and unusable

Bought for my mechanic daughter who is constantly getting bloody cuts, gouges, bumps, bruises, etc. at work. She likes to keep half in her tool box and the other half at home since she does not go to emergency rooms for accidents. This is her second batch, one of her most important "tools"!
