Spencer's Gel Max High-pH Enriched Formula 4oz

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.

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!

I am so very thankful to have run across this y'all! I have been dealing with a open wound on the top side of my foot that just would not heal. A undiagnosed or self-diagnosed Morgellons wound, I'm certain of. I have tried so many products before this. Starting with the most common like Neosporin only to learn it's really not very helpful, Prescription topicals, Oral antibiotics, manuka honey and tons of other healing salves/ creams. All would seem to help for a little while then hit a plateau sort of speak. I finally started to give silver a try orally and topically. Which made such a huge difference in such a short time. Y'all This wound has been a pain in the butt every day for almost 3 years now. That meant no days out on the water during the summer months (something I live for). Also means no tennis shoes or cute boots during the colder months. I've been able to wear flip flops and flats. The frustration was no joke. After running out of my oral colloidal silver so came to amazon to repurchase, I ended up down a rabbit hole of products and their reviews. I actually had seen spencer's gel a few times before but thought Oh that's for staph or dang that's sort of costly. I always just passed by it. Until one day I saw someone on YouTube raving about how well it has helped them with some bed sores. I don't know if it was the universe speaking to me or what, but I decided my foot was worth the cost even if it didn't work. I'm worth the cost, losing my foot and or even my entire leg has always been my worry. Maybe a little dramatic.... maybe not. Thanks to this product I will never know because my foot is now 98% healed. I can wear tennis shoes again. There is no open wound anymore. It's all surface now. Almost like a minor scratch. I honestly think that the silver alone may have healed it but on a very slow pace. Once I added in the spencer's gel The healing took off. Within a month or so give or take, I'm so happy to say This issue is almost a thing of my past. You all may be thinking " You didn't have to tell us all that" and you're right, I didn't. My point in doing so is to tell you #1 You are worth the cost of this amazing product. #2 Just because it says something about being for staph doesn't mean it won't work for your issue. It's so worth giving it a shot. I saw a big difference after the very first application. Then after a week of using it daily the difference was unbelievable. That being said give it a little bit to do its thing. #3 Is because I wanted everyone to get an idea of how bad I was struggling with this wound on my foot. I want to scream from the roof tops about how much it helped me. Morgellons or not I'm so much happier and healthier mentally and physically because of this $20 gel. Y'all you are worth it cost... I'm telling you give it a try. Then keep some in your medical stash.

I used this for some staff infection that I got in the calf of my leg. I applied this a couple times a day or whenever I changed my bandages. It helped to pull the infection out so it can heal faster. Doesn’t have the best smell but nothing you can’t get past especially if your fighting a staff infection at home. It comes in a good sized bottle, 8 ounces is what I got, I used it a couple times a day for a week or so, and I barely used any so far. It doesn’t burn or sting when putting it on. It’s priced a little high I feel but I guess you can’t really put a price on something that can fight and stop Staff infection from spreading. It definitely worked on mine.

Calms the skin down and I use it for my severe back acne. Very good

At least the product didn't do any harm, but didn't see any difference in the healing process that time wasn't the main factor in. After reading the description about the product, again, I realized if relies heavily on the anecdotal and little on fact.

I’ve been battling a pretty bad MRSA staph infection under my arm for almost two weeks now so I thought I’d give this a try. It just arrived today and I have already applied the first application (picture is what my sore is looking like prior to the application). Right off the bat, the citrus smell is STRONG. I don’t hate it, but I’m also not a huge fan of using a lot of citrus oils on my skin. Additionally, though it says it does not burn, it really does burn quite a lot. I originally I had applied a generous amount to a gauze pad and had that banged over my wound as suggested for one of the uses. However, it burned way too much so I have since removed that dressing and will just be using this in between my prescribed antibiotic ointment dressing changes. Will update if I see any results.

. . . and the list goes on. I purchased for a painful boil -- a cluster of them -- that no other product or Rx was resolving. By the time I ordered and received Spencer's Gel, the situation was extreme. The moment I applied this gentle gel on a sensitive body area, I could feel a difference. Every day was an improvement on a cluster of old abscesses. Then a new medium size boil appeared. I applied the gel, and the boil was COMPLETELY GONE in ONE DAY. The cluster of boils took three weeks to completely heal. That timeframe might sound too long, but believe me, my extreme situation was only getting worse before I used the gel. Last week, I walked across my summer lawn just after the sprinklers were on, and the next day there were FIVE MOSQUITO BITES on my feet. They were painful and burning. On a whim after washing the affected area, I applied a thin coat Spencer's Gel. Within 5 minutes, the irritation had greatly subsided. I applied another thin coat, and after 10 minutes, I could only feel a slight itching, like a hair brushing against your skin. Each day after bathing I applied two thin coats, and I could visibly see the bites flattening and semi-scabbing. After three days, the bites were healed, although marks were still visible. I am always going to have this in my medicine cabinet - I am about to order a "back up" bottle. Some reviewers have complained about an odor. This is the fragrance: Do you remember how St. Joseph's Baby Aspirins smelled from your childhood or parenting days? Spencer's Gel has the exact same tangy scent, which made me think that citrus might burn, but the formula is extremely gentle and soothing. No burnning at all.

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 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.
