I'm 9 months pregnant and have stretch marks that are itchy and red. Nothing was working to take away the itch which was causing a lot of sleepless nights. Then I found a bottle of Calagel that I had squirreled away in my linen closet. I thought, 'what the heck; it's worth a try.' I'm so glad I did! I finally got restful sleep last night!

Chiggers have been particularly bad in my part of Texas this year; I haven't had so many bites since I was a kid! I found your product at my local Dollar General, while searching for SOMETHING to give me some relief, and have been impressed--cool, clear, soothing, and long lasting. Great job!

My dad had given this itch relief to my daughter for her itching from a bug bite. I had forgotten about it and was treating what I thought was a bug bite. After two days of welting and severe itching I saw the bottle of calagel. I thought what can it hurt. I was surprised that after only 8 hours the welts were almost gone and the itching was cut by 90%! I have before and after pictures and they are simply amazing! I will support this product!
