"Excellent cream"

I've used is on myself and my girls and think it is fab, Lilli grazed her knee at school so when she came home we put some on her wound she said she liked the smell of it bless her.
I also used it on a sore reoccurring bit I have on my ear and it really soothes it.

Def recommend to everyone I will def be getting more once this has all gone.

"tea tree magic"

I like others waited for the time to use this cream. My toddler gets quite bad eczema behind his knees and I thought I would give this cream a go. It worked brilliantly and did not aggravate it. I loved the smell too. Second time I used it was when I had sunburn it relieved it straight away and stopped the itching. I will always make sure I have this cream in my first aid box.

"Doesn't sting!"

I like this cream, i don't usually put anything on cuts and bruises for my boys as I remember it stinging so much when I was little, but when i wanted to soothe my 2 year old's tears after he grazed his knee I thought I'd give it ago. He smiled the whole time, whilst I was flinching! It doesn't seem to hurt one bit, and has not bled since so I'm pleased and will use it again whenever necessary.

"Great Product!!"

I have taken my time before writing my review to actually give me time to see if it works well on different things. Well first thing was my daughter has a patch of excema that always become infected and nothing seems to help it, well this cream cleared it up in 3 days. I have used it on many other cuts and grazes and its a "magic" cream and I will definately be buying more!!

"Seems to do what it says on the tin!"

I'd been waiting to use this, typically we've had no grazes/scrapes/anything that requires anti-septic ointment! However I actually used it on myself on a burn that was healing but seemed to be getting infected. It didn't sting or anything and smelled nice, and after 2 days of using it all redness was gone around the burn. I'm impressed, it's got a permanent place in my First Aid Box now!

"Great All-rounder"

Fab cream. My daughter gets a slight rash if anything rubs on her and she sweats, sides of torso from nappy in summer etc and this was ideal for that. Very thin cream so didn't feel too cloggy. I suffer with hayfever so also used it around my nose where it was sore and the cream provided some much needed, cooling relief.

"Didn't sting a bit!"

I have used this cream several times now for 3 different things. My 20 month old daughter has very sensitive skin that is prone to rashes and eczema so I was a little apprehensive as to whether this cream would aggravate it. I first used a small amount on a bite she had. Put it on at night and by morning it was barely visible the same was true when I put some on a large scratch/graze she got in the garden, it didn’t seem to sting a bit!
I was so impressed that I used it for myself on an annoying spot that came up on my face healed it up really quickly.
Very pleased with this product great addition to anyone’s medical bag, would definitely purchase again!

"Good all rounder"

Having been a First Aider for many many years I do not approve of putting any kind of antisceptic cream on a cut - especially after you have just cleaned it and then putting a greasy cream back into the wound.
So I had to be creative with other uses for the cream. I have been suffering from quite bad sinus trouble over the last few weeks, and as such my wee nose is red raw from blowing it. I used the cream around my nose area, and it really does soothe it, and has started healing it already.
I also checked the internet for other suggested ideas, and discovered it is good for athletes foot. Neil is awful with this, and refuses to put cream on it to treat it. Having discovered it was good for athlete's foot, I played the guilt trip I didn't want the girls to get it from him. So he started using the cream, and it has helped clear up his feet quite well. Even after only using it for a week!.
I found another site telling me it was good to help remove the pox marks following chicken pox. As Abbie was the worst affected, I tried a little on her back, and lo and behold it is already taking away the marks.
For those reasons I cannot fault the cream. It has healed and soothed it's way into my first aid kit for a long time to come.

"A keeper in the first aid box! "

This tea tree cream has proved a little godsend. We have used it on grazed knees, little cuts and even mammys skin! It works wonders because it's all natural and has the tea tree oil in it. I've always been a fan of tea tree, I like the thought of using natural products rather than loads of chemicals especially on eczema prone skin.
It has a lovely cooling effect, I used it on a hair straightner burn and it took the sting out very quickly for me. It's ideal to keep in the first aid box, because it has so many different uses to it. I found when I was having a breakout it worked well on my skin too.
A 30g tube has lasted us a while and we still have lots left in the bottom. It retails from about £3 and upwards and I would say its Definitley excellent value for money.
The only downside I would have about this is that there is no enclosed information in the box, so you don't get a full list of uses, or any side effects etc.

"Brilliant 'Magic Cream' "

This product is great! My daughter being at a toddler age is forever falling over, and with it being summer having her little legs exposed is meaning she is forever grazing her knees. When she fell over I would clean her grazes and tell her I'd put magic cream on to make her better! The Nelson's tea tree cream soothed her pain, it didnt sting like other creams on the market.
I also used it on her prickly heat rash which seemed to make it go down a lot. My partner even used the cream on his sunburn as he had bad blisters and he said that the cream was very soothing. I keep this in my outings bag now, we take it everywhere it's the perfect little rescue remedy! :-)

"great lil extra rescue remedy"

I think this cream just came in time as we had a heatwave and 3 kids running around which made it very handy. My kids all have sensitive skin as well as myself and whilst driving in the heat my hands always get sunburnt and this was the 1st thing i used the tea tree on was the prickly heat rash on my hands, it really was soothing.
Also the little ones get scrapes now and then and i think its great for little burns when i'm rushing in the kitchen.
I love nelsons brand especially the teething powders so this was a great tube of rescue to pop in handbag/first aid kit and even to take on holiday, definitely packing one in my luggage for this years holidays.

"Mum's little saviour!"

This cream really impressed me. It was so easy to use for my daughter and even myself on one occasion!
The fact that it is a tea tree cream really appeals to me as i think it is a fantastic antiseptic.

I used it on spots for myself and grazes for my litle girl and it instantly felt like it was working and healing. The 30g cream is good value for money as a little bit will go a long way so should see the tube lasting you for ages!

My daughter loved the 'magic cream' and kept searching for more places i could put the cream on, she liked the effect that much!

The typical tea tree scent may not appeal to some people but i personally like that medicated aroma!

Great cream to fit in your handbag, car, home, pocket, anywhere!

"A great all round first aid box essential"

I am always looking for great products to use on my family, especially medical products, which are based on natural ingredients and old fashioned techniques. This cream ticks all those boxes.

We are all taught at an early age that tea tree oil is great for all sorts of things. As children ours mothers used it on cuts and grazes, as teenagers we applied it to spots to dry them up, and now as mothers and fathers we use it as a natural antiseptic, bite and sting cream and an all round first aid essential.

This cream is light, easy to apply and absorb and a little goes a long way. a 50g tube will last a really long time I think, even in my family of four with 2 boisterous girls who seem to need it for one thing or another at least once a week.

The cream retails around the £5 mark, but as stated earlier a little goes a long way. Compared to other over the counter treatments which , while they may be cheaper, you need a lot more to get any effective benefit.

The cream has a lovely, soothing aroma which both my children love and don’t mind the cream being applied at all.

The box has a natural, old fashioned way about it which I rather like. It doesn’t look too clinical or medical, but more of an alternative therapy type of product.

All in all if you have a family you really need a tube of this in your first aid kit. I bet you use it as much as we do and even replace some of your other products with this one, effective, versatile little tube.

Natural antiseptic first aid cream. Every first aid box should have one of these. Easy to apply, soaks in quickly & even smells nice.
Having sensitive skin myself it's been my magical cream. I use it for bites, stings, rashes and grazes. A product that can be used on the whole family.
A very good product for a very good price. 10 / 10

"Quick Healer"

I'll admit to not being one for antiseptic creams. Don't really know why though!
I burnt my fingers through stupidity (I took the grillpan out from under the grill, it fell and I automatically bent down and attempted to pick it up [ouch]) I did the usual running my fingers under the cold water tap, but couldn't do that for long as I was in the middle of making the kids dinner! So after dishing up I realised my fingers still flippin' well hurt! I was going to bung a plaster on them to stop the air getting at them, but came across the tea trea cream first, so in for a penny as they say, I put some on my fingers and the heat seemed to go immediately. I kept it with me all evening applying it every now and then and I'll admit to being converted! My fingers were fine the next morning (when usually I have blisters). The only down side was the smell. I'm afraid I'm not a fan of tea tree!! I think that stems from slapping tea tree treatments onto my eldest daughters hair when she was younger to ward of the dreaded headlice that were doing the rounds at her school!!!!!
Overall a good product and I'll probably have it in my first aid kit for years to come.

"Great for the first aid kit"

This cream smells lovely, and my husband has been using it on spots, cuts and burns recently (he's quite accident prone!). I also like the fact that this is an ethical product and therefore will buy again. One thing to note - this can't be used by breastfeeding mums or the under 1's, so unfortunately cannot be used on a baby's nappy rash. My husband has found the cream to be very soothing and all his injuries have healed without any problems, so we will definately keep a tube handy at all times. It's a small tube, so you can easily take it on days out, but you only need a tiny amount each time so you won't be rushing out to buy it all the time!

All in all, a great buy.

"very effective"

This cream is great, you only need to use a small amount and it really speeds up the healing process. I had some very sore scratches on my arm- my kitten had got very angry on its first visit to the vets for its jabs! When I got home I applied the cream straight away and it felt very soothing and cooling, and the redness and inflammation decreased very quickly. Ive also used the cream when my four year old fell in the garden and grazed her knee. She really likes the smell and the fact that it doesnt sting when applied like some other products do. This will definetely be kept in stock in our households first aid box at all times, top marks!

"10/10 For This Product"

I used this cream for the first time last week. It's been sitting in my first aid box for the last month as I hadn't a reason to use it.
After burning myself when pouring a much needed cup of coffee, I received burns to my fingers.. Not quite enough to go to the hospital but painful enough to need so relief.
Well there it was when I opened up the first aid box . The tree cream , and wow. Once I put the cream on I received immediate relief. It was cooling and it defiantly helped the healing process.

I recently tested this product and found that it was a must have item for any first aid box. It took the sting out of my cut and helped to reduce the redness. My husband also used the product on an insect bite and he found it helped to sooth immediately. I enjoy using any products which are natural, the smell is lovely and fresh and the texture of the cream is thick and smooth and rubs into the skin easily. I would definately purchase this product in future, it is reasonably priced for a natural product.

I recently tested Nelson's Tea Tree Cream and I thought it was great. My husband was stung by a wasp so I rubbed a little of the cream and he felt instant relieve, my daughter grazed her knee at school and again I applied the cream which helped.
As the smell is not overwhelming, everyone can use this. The appearance is just like a cream and I feel that it is value for money as it is made from Tea Tree oil. It's easy to use and would recommend this to everyone.

"Sore nose from constantly blowing!"

I got a very nasty cold and spent a lot of time blowing my nose, unfortunately I had run out of the "special" tissues that keep your nose from turning bright red and going crusty.
Having already tried to put my usual daily moisturiser on it and writhing in agony, I decided to give Nelson's Tea Tree Cream a go.
It didn't sting at all and it smelt lovely, within 24 hours it started to clear up, fantastic.
I can hold my head high once again.

"Very soothing cream"

I loved this cream. I didn't have any cuts of grazes to use it on when I received it, but I did have 2 very nasty horse fly bites, so decided to use it on them just to see what happened. I was amazed to see that the redness, swelling and itchiness went within an hour of using it. I decided to use it on a patch of eczema that wasn't clearing up (I'm usually very wary of using anything on my eczema), and was just amazed at the results. It was smooth and calm within a few applications.

I loved the smell even though, funnily enough, I'm not too keen on tea tree! Contrary to other reviews, I found it soaked in quickly and left my skin soft, but maybe that was because my eczema is very dry, so it would absorb faster... Unsure, but I really love this cream. I think a must-have in anyone's medicine cabinet. I'm buying only this in future, in place of my bite creams, anti-itch creams, rash creams, eczema creams etc.! I could definitely justify the price, because I'll be saving on not buying 100 other creams. Highly recommended from me!

"love the smell"

I love the smell of the Nelsons tea tree cream. That was the first thing I noticed when I opened it. My daughter had burnt her arm a couple of days before I received this, and it had started to turn into a blister and was itchy. I put this cream on her and she never complained about her burn mark afterwards at all. The natural ingredients in it are very soothing - I've even used it on my spots, and it cools them down and stops them feeling so ithy. Good enough size to take with you in your handbag, would be good for the cuts and grazes children always get when they're out. It rubs into the wound almost invisible. I like it.

"Lovely smell, great product"

Made with Australian tea tree oil, I like the fact that it's a natural product which harnesses the power of mother nature, rather than using chemicals on delicate skin. I've been using this cream on my 2 year old son's nappy rash, as well as on the usual scrapes and grazes. Sores and wounds heal exceptionally quickly, and it has a very clean and pleasant fragrance. The only downside I found was it was slightly greasy, and didn't absorb in to the skin very quickly. But overall, a lovely effective cream that I would recommend to others.

This antiseptic cream is brilliant! I like the fact that it is made of natural tea tree, it's good value & it works!

I have used the cream on cuts & grazes on the boys and also on spots & a small rash I have had. Because it has tea tree in it, it has a lovely cooling sensation as it's applied. It absorbs well into the skin & doesn't leave a residue. It does have the usual, quite strong, tea tree smell but that is fine by me! The kids didn't mind having it applied & it seemed to bring any redness & soreness down quite quickly.

I'm really impressed with this & would definitely recommend it to family & friends.

"Excellent results!!!"

Ive tested nelsons tea tree natural first aid antiseptic cream. Its the first antiseptic cream to be awarded the ethical consumer best buy label for its environmental and ethical credentials. Its made with tea tree oil from Austrailia. Not only can it be used to treat minor first aid complaints, it also acts as an insect repellent perfect for use on holiday and also to heal bites and stings. I personally used the product on some scratches on my arms, i noticed within a few hours that the redness had disappeared and cuts were healing, it also sunk into the skin and didnt leave oily marks on my arms or clothes. I personally like the smell of tea tree but it is quite strong so may not be to all tastes. I belive it is an excellent natural antiseptic cream. You can buy it from Boots, Holland and Barrett, any pharmacy and stores such as sainsburys, Morrisons and Asda. It costs £4.35 FOR 30g and £5.90 FOR 50g it is long lasting but i would buy the 50g for better value for money as you get almost double the amount for an extra £1.55.

"'magic cream'"

'magic cream' is what my 2 year old calls this. She has been the main tester due to being the most accident prone and there have been a lot of cuts and scrapes between my 3 and 2yr old to use it on. It smells strongly but is nice and soothes cuts. My 2 yr old now automatically asks for magic cream when she falls over. you only need a small amount to cover a large area so the tube should last a while. It is also ideal size to slip into your handbag for when out and about. My 5yr old son also had a cut on his private bits and was looking for a cream to use is it was very sore. 2 applications of the cream and it was all better without the usual trip to the GPs for somethign suitable. With it also being more natural it really is a good all round cream for every first aid box.

I have recently been on holiday where i developed a rash (kind of like a heat rash), instead of cream i have used before i tried the Nelson's Tea Tree Cream, It had a soothing feeling on the skin, and stopped the irritation, i also got bitten - and it had a great immediate effect. It smells lovely and is easy to apply, easily absorbed into the skin.
I have very sensitive skin, so found it great that it worked with no adverse effects!
When comparing it to other similar products on the market, it is good value for money.
