Spencer's Gel Alkaline Formula (8oz) - lab-certified to kill Staph aureus on skin contact

My partner,myself& daughter have all used this for different skin issues from fragile skin to burning skin. It works on application on every event.

Honestly, I was a bit worried because I tend to only like products with lots of reviews, but after one day of trying this, I’ve been BLOWN away. I’ve had mrsa infections around my body and there were small sores leaking on my scalp, thigh and back and the instructions on the bottle made it seem like the gel had to be on the wound 24/7. But it’s really not, the first day, I went outside, stripped down to my underwear to expose the sores all over my body, I “liberally” applied the gel on the open sores and waited for them to get absorbed. I was a bit worried that it the wound wasn’t “covered” 24/7 that it wouldn’t heal but it’s actually not a big deal. My sores are small and all over so it’s a bit difficult to use gauze pads and tape them on the parts of my body that move a lot and experience lots of friction like my hips, back and under thigh. But I’m super glad it all worked out, my first day I applied the gel outside to let it absorb and it dried up super quickly, it also made the sores less “leaky” once the gel dried. Although the smell was strong, I made sure to take a shower and clean myself to make sure the gel was easily absorbed. The smell is kind of strong and heavy, but once you’ve spent months of stubborn open skin wounds, ALL you want is relieve and healing. So the smell was nothing compared to what I had to experience with my skin infection. And I also went theough multiple rounds of antibiotics before I started this gel, the antibiotics would either not help or help a little before the infection would spread again. So I decided to rely on my instincts and search for natural products that didn’t have problems with “super bugs” So far, it’s been one day, and the healing is astonishing. I’m already seeing NEW skin forming, I feel so relieved after applying the gel knowing that my skin has a more alkaline environment in which the infection will have a tougher time surviving on my skin and spreading. The pros are that it works SUPER facts, I was surprised with the results as it said on the bottle, dries super fast so that I don’t have to worry about keeping it on my body, covering it with a gauze and worrying about staining. The smell is a bit on the strong side but it’s COMPLETELY worth it, seriously man, after months of stubborn skin infections that antibiotics rarely helped and you just spending a few days smelling like bleach and probably like feet(just what this gel smells like for me but it will probably smell different for you). 2-3 days max, oh god it’s 100% worth it, having a bottle you can always rely on right in your fingertips ready to use at home rather than wait for your doctors appointment and dealing with the chances of having those “super bugs” that make you have to go back and forth from the doctor. Just take Spencer’s gel seriously, I’m thankful I went with my gut and took this stuff. If you’re still wondering if this works TAKE IT, the gel lasts. Liquids in bottles run out quickly, but this gel stuff, you use all of it respurceful so it lasts a long time. I use the gel tk cover like my whole body and its probably lasted a week, im amazed everyday at the healing. It’s so much faster than antibiotics, it kicked in the next day. Might be different for you though but im sure it’ll work. I’ve also taken spencers gel with some other stuff too, I’ve taken colloidal silver orally (10 ppm) but Im taking 500 ppm for the stronger effects and testing it on my wounds also, having it circulate around my body to speed up the healing process. The gel is defenitely working, one thing i’ve noticed is that the wounds that are more exposed heal faster wheread the ones that are covered with a scab take a bit longer, maybe because the gel takes time to penatrate through that scab. So I usually take a shower, and then apply the gel when the scabs on the infecrion are washes away. I’m kind of crying right now because i’ve tries countless natural products and am soo thankful for one that worms now, my skin is COMING BACK!!! I feel so blessed, Finally i can relax and not be stressed, worried and anxious about my skin. Overall sarisfied, will defenitelt buy the bigger bottle. Take care ;)

I bought this product and returned it, and wanted to leave a review in case it helps others. The Amazon listing states: “lab-certified to kill Staph aureus on skin contact.” But the label on the actual bottle says: “does not prevent Staph or MRSA and is not an antibacterial cleanser.” These two statements are at odds, and the marketing feels very carefully worded. Looking more closely at the ingredients (which I should have done beforehand), the formula is basically a high-alkaline gel with citrus oils. High alkalinity can kill bacteria in a lab dish, which is likely what the claim refers to, but that’s not the same as being an antibacterial product for use on actual skin. Human skin naturally has an acidic surface layer (“acid mantle”), and using highly alkaline products can disrupt that balance. For people with sensitive or compromised skin, that can sometimes make things worse rather than better. Overall, the product did not match the impression given by the listing, and I chose to return it.

This stuff works. I think I heard about Spencer’s on a Reddit post and was a little suspicious because I haven’t heard of it before. I am very into skin and body care and am always looking for what works best. I have very intense scarring and dark pigmentation from body acne (let’s be real I’m talking about butt acne) and nothing has worked to clear it. Not cute. I’ve tried glycolic acid, retinols, AHA/BHA, in all types of forms. This gel is the only thing that has worked. There has been significant improvement in a pretty short amount of time. I still have some pigmentation but it is definitely lighter. I have only been using this for a few weeks but I think it will continue to improve over time with consistent use. The big negative I have is the packaging. It is a very liquidy gel. Too thick to use on a cotton pad but thin enough that you have to apply it very quickly. The bottle doesn’t help and I find you can waste product quickly. Not fun when it is a lil pricey Overall, try this. Especially if nothing else has worked. I am curious to see how it works on other skin blemishes like stretch marks or scars. And how the MAX version compares.

I am on my 11th day of struggling with uticaria otherwise unspecified -- meaning I have a rash that turned into raging hives and I have no idea how or where I got this problem. I have cried and scratched and shredded my skin. I've seen a dermatologist twice, I'm on prednisone and a prescription antihistamine AND a topical steroid ointment. All of the above plus 6 or more zyrtec a day (which obviously I do not advise anyone else to do) was not even touching how itchy this rash was/is. I ordered this product (Spencer's Gel) for overnight delivery out of pure desperation after another sleepless night and clawing at my skin until it bled and I cried. This is the ONLY thing that literally worked on contact. Even cortisone cream didn't do that, nor sulfur ointment, nor calamine lotion or diaper rash ointment or cornstarch. Spencer's Gel literally soothed my raging rash and hives instantly. I am dumbfounded. I stopped everything I was doing to write this review. I'm still under a doctor's care and we will get the results of a skin biopsy sometime this week. But at least in the meantime I can finally get back to the business of life without everything being about this awful rash.
