First Aid Only 18-012 Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Cream Packet (Box of 12)

Short expiration of 5 months. Oherwise great for first aid kit and mobile use (car, boat, etc). Would be 5 star if longer use date.Updated from 2 star to 5 star: I reported the product "defective" due to short date and amazon immediatesly sent a replacement with a 4 year useful date time (exp 09/2022).Thank you amazon, great service as usual.

This is a great product, especially considering the price. Tubes of hydrocortisone cream don’t make sense. Tubes are bulky and messy and less sanitary. It makes much more sense to give each person an individual dose in a single packet. This really is the way to go for most people.

I bought these little packets of generic hydrocortisone cream to go in the various first aid kits and cars we keep stocked for emergencies. I like that each packet has the perfect amount for one application, without opening a big tube. The packets don't take much room. I've given people at the ball field a packet when someone had a need for it, and it was nice not to have to share an open tube.This is the same medication and strength (1%) as name brand hydrocortisone cream, and works just as well on rashes and insect bites - calming the itch and soothing the skin.

This box of Hydrocortisone cream packets comes exactly as pictured; in a compact box, sealed with plastic. The box is nicely labeled so it's easy to locate in a kit. The box and the individual packets themselves list drug information on the back, as well as the company information. They are made in the USA and the company is based in CT.The packets are nicely sized and contain 1% Hydrocortisone, which is the same strength you'll find in the stuff you buy in stores. They're a good thing to keep in your first aid kit (FAK), or to throw in your pack during a hike. They're a must-have for itch relief from insect stings and bites, scratches, poison ivy, etc.I'm including some pictures to show the box, the packets and the product labeling.

Seems like it works well. It's definitely strong. I didn't read the description well, apparently. It's 12 individual applications of. .9 grams each. I was expecting a tube. My fault for not reading but giving a heads-up. The expiration date is March 2025 so it's great if you only need a little occasionally.

I hate buying new first aid kits just to replace these small single use items after they’re used up. This refill kit allows me to maintain the multiple first aid kits I have in cars throughout the house and while backpacking with exact replacement of the single use products that were contained in the original kit.

I have first aid kits everywhere I go and these make sure I can keep them all stocked. Expirations are about 2 years from purchase. Effectiveness is same as brand names.

Perfect to restock an emergency kit, perfect for the bug bites or rashes away from home. No bottle to worry about the top busting open and leaking everywhere.
