Tecnu Extreme Medicated Poison Ivy Scrub
Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub is different from other products on the market in two ways.
First, it gets to the root of the problem by removing an ultra-potent and toxic substance called “urushiol” (ooh-roo-she-all) from the skin. Urushiol comes from the poison oak, poison ivy and sumac plants and attaches to the skin. It is the source of the poison ivy rash, irritation and spreading.
In addition, Tecnu Extreme contains an active ingredient to relieve itching fast!
Poison ivy, oak and sumac rash is caused by the skin’s reaction to the plant’s oil, urushiol (oo-roo-she-all). For effective treatment, you must first remove the urushiol oil to keep it from spreading and also treat the painful, itchy inflamed rash. Tecnu Extreme is the first medicated poison ivy scrub that does both in one step. Washing with Tecnu Extreme for 15 seconds will remove urushiol oil left on the skin to prevent your rash from spreading. It’s unique homeopathic formula contains an active ingredient to eliminate itching and speed healing of your rash.
Tecnu Extreme can also be used to prevent a rash when used within 2-8 hours after exposure to the poison ivy, oak and sumac plants.

Testimonial About Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub:
"Hi. I get poison ivy as often as a dog eats so when I saw your product at CVS; I figured I'd give it a try. Well, I just used Tecnu Extreme for the second time and am forcing myself to stop and tell you how great I think it is. I have never written a letter to a company about a product before. I mountain bike competitively and live in Texas where poison ivy is almost overwhelming on certain trails. It is extremely rare that I can finish a race and not get the rash by the next day. I've tried everything to avoid poison ivy but have basically resigned myself to getting the rash and just dealing with. In the last three weeks I've used Tecnu Extreme immediately after finishing two races, and have not gotten the rash at all. If you knew me, you'd know how amazing that is. I can not thank you enough. The texture of it is awesome and the tube lasts forever. I almost want to get the rash so I can see how well your product works after the rash has begun. Anyhow, thank you very much."

"Winter, spring, summer, or fall - poison ivy will find me. I have tried many things before and until I tried Tecnu Extreme I suffered. It is the best! Poison ivy is never dormant and if you burn wood in the winter and it is on or in the bark you can get it. Spring cleaning around my home, fall clean up, I get it. Since trying it the first time, I make sure I have a supply all year round. The medicated scrub acts both on the oils and relieves the urge to itch. I keep some in my car and in my back pack as soon as I feel a tingle of a rash I put it on. Thank you for a wonderful solution to an annoying problem!"

"I wonder why there are other products on the market after having used Tecnu Extreme. The results are nothing short of miraculous as far as I'm concerned. After working in the woods behind my yard, I got a poison ivy rash so terrible that I had to go to the doctor, get a steroid shot, and start taking a steroid regimen for a week. While the medication started to take effect, absolutely none of the anti-itch or pain relief products seemed to do any good. In fact, the rash appeared to be constantly spreading despite the medicine I was taking. A friend of mine suggested Tecnu Extreme even though the rash had already appeared, in order to make sure the oils were washed away. In addition to washing everything imaginable with the Tecnu Extreme that might have come in contact with poison ivy oils, I began using it daily on all the affected areas. It helped speed the healing and reduce the rash like nothing I'd ever seen. Truly amazing. Just this past weekend, I went into those same woods, doing the same work, and walked through the same poison ivy just as before. Although I was extremely nervous, I thought to myself that this would be the true test for Tecnu. I washed thoroughly with Tecnu Extreme after a few hours of walking through the poison ivy, and have not had a single rash since. THANK YOU for an unbelievably amazing product. I do not exaggerate with I say it is nothing short of a miracle!!!"
