Spencer's Gel Alkaline Formula (4 oz) - lab-Certified to Kill Staph aureus on Skin Contact

Hate wearing surgical masks as they irritate my skin but they are a must at some places. The gel is cooling and calms the bumps caused by long hours of mask-wearing.

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.

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. Updated 6/10/2026: As unbelievable as it is, I was foolish enough to get my second shingles shot about a week after my original rash began to disappear. I briefly hesitated in the doctor's office and then decided to just get the shot and oh, what a huge mistake that was. Big HUGE mistake. The next day a familiar tingling began to light up previously affected areas, especially my ankles, lower legs, the tops of my feet and the backs of my hands. It was a different rash, I could tell, but it was no less itchy than the first one. I was in disbelief. And even the original Spencer's gel did not relieve the unbearable and near-constant itching. So I took a chance and ordered a bottle of the Spencer's Gel Max Strength and thankfully it helped. I was still woken up once per night with unbearable itching and I scratched myself into a bloody oblivion all over again. Ugh. It's been a week since that happened and with the help of the Max gel and copious amounts of Amazon brand allegra, it's finally started to calm down again. It's drying up and I can sleep through the night. What a disaster this has been, but I'm incredibly grateful this product exists and I have recommended it to everyone I know.

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.

Ive been dealing with my legs, back, and upper arms getting sebum bumps, folliculitis, cysts, & acne. Ive only used this for one day and i am blown away by how effective this product works. Ive tried drawing salves, drying solutions, natural methods, over the counter product, never getting relief from the painful, itchy bumps.... other products claim to increase heal time but none did. Spencer's Gel, feels like a magic potion bc of how amazing this stuff works. No sticky feel. No greasy mess. No staining clothes or bedding. My legs and skin feel so incredibly soft and smooth, I suppose its helping my body hold moisture better to make my skin so silky, idk. I took pictures today and will over the next few days, then come back and post the results. I wish I wouldve taken a picture before starting Spencer's gel, the redness, pain, itching, inflammation, is all down so much. At this rate, my breakouts will be healed in a couple days. I wish I found this stuff last year when I had to be hospitalized 2 times bc of hair follicles becoming infected, that caused an abscess. 2 actually. The second one got so bad, it was like an avocado size, had to be lanced and drained. The same spots will flare up and I been using my magic healer drawing salve, which has been saving me from another hospital visit but its thick and greasy, left stains, so to discover Spencer's gel and seeing how amazing it works, hopefully I wont have to use the other stuff. But always good to have such a great product on hand. You cant beat the price and considering its effectiveness is amazing, I hope they dont increase it. Definitely going to tell everyone about this stuff. And I want to try the alkaline water solution this company makes as well. Sounds amazing too!
