Don't let poison ivy & oak interrupt your outdoor plans! With Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub you can cleanse away the rash-causing oil from poison ivy and oak plants and get back to doing what you love most whether it be camping, hiking, biking, disc golf, or gardening!

Tecnu Extreme removes poison oak and ivy oils from your skin. It's similar to Tecnu Original but works stronger and faster. Here's how it works:

Step 1 - wet the affected area with cool water.

Step 2 - apply Tecnu Extreme to the affected area and gently rub for 15 seconds.

Step 3 - rinse your skin clean with cool water and towel dry.

It's as simple as that!

If you were heavily exposed or are hypersensitive you can repeat these steps or apply to your entire body as needed. Otherwise, you're ready to enjoy the rest of your day itch and scratch-free.
