Fast, Cooling Relief That Actually Stops the Itch
Fast, Cooling Relief That Actually Stops the Itch Benadryl Extra Strength Anti-Itch Gel is one of those products you don’t think much about—until you need it. Whether it’s a mosquito bite, sunburn, poison ivy, or an unexpected rash, this clear gel delivers quick, noticeable relief that actually lasts. I first tried it after getting multiple bug bites during a camping trip, and the cooling effect was almost instant. Within a minute or two, the itching stopped completely, and the redness faded soon after. The texture is lightweight and spreads easily. It’s not greasy like ointments or thick creams, though it can feel slightly tacky until it dries—usually within a few minutes. Once absorbed, it leaves no residue or visible film. I prefer this over calamine lotion because it’s clear and doesn’t stain clothing or skin. The 3.5 oz size is also perfect for travel or keeping in a first-aid kit, glove box, or hiking pack. The active ingredient (2% diphenhydramine HCl) acts fast to block the histamine reaction, while the alcohol base provides a soothing cool-down effect. It’s safe for adults and kids over age two, though I always recommend testing a small area first for sensitive skin. If you’re outdoors often or prone to itchy flare-ups, this is one of those “must-have” cabinet staples—especially for summer months. Bottom line: A proven, fast-acting anti-itch gel that cools on contact and provides real relief—worth keeping one at home and another in your travel or camping kit.

A excellent product that really works
This product is a lifesaver. I had some pretty challenging welts and swelling on my neck and face, not sure if plant or insect based. Deeply itchy, hot, so uncomfortable. This Benadryl has helped immensely, particularly after applying a few layers. I didn't experience any tackiness. It's great to use, I love the gel. It absorbs quickly. Definitely notice that it's "extra strength ". A great product that will be on hand from here on out. Highly recommend.

It works !
I’ve tried several anti-itch creams over the years, and Benadryl Anti-Itch Relief is by far one of the best. I used it for insect bites and minor rashes, and it worked almost instantly—soothing the itching and giving a cooling relief that lasts for hours. I’ve even used it on a small poison ivy patch, and it helped calm the irritation much faster than other creams I’ve tried. I also love that it comes in different forms—gel, cream, and stick—so it’s easy to apply anywhere, even on the go. It’s gentle on my skin, though I always do a small patch test first just to be safe. Overall, this is my go-to product whenever I need fast, reliable itch relief. Highly recommend!

My skin do not react well in hot weather and I get itchy, bumpy rash. Used aloe vera gels, cooling spray, hypochlorous, calamine, ice packs, takes lots of cooling showers - which probably dried my skin even further. All of which provides temporary relief before it comes back with a vengeance. I have eczema and try to avoid using steroid creams too much, but even that provides a transient effect and I tend to have residual pigmented patches on my skin. This summer has been particularly brutal, affecting my sleep, so in desperation bought this. Instant relief which was almost magical! No itching at all and the redness disappeared, with just one application. I applied it again after about 8 hours when the beginning of an itch started and before sleep, although I didn't actually need it. Huge bonus - the bumps also completely disappeared. That may also be due to a new soap I just bought. These 2 items are going to be my staple buy from now on!!
