Product Description
Tecnu Outdoor Skin Cleanser cleans and decontaminates clothing and skin after exposure to poison oak, ivy and sumac. Its unique, waterless cleansing formula has been proven to remove the cause of the irritating itch and spreading rash, the poison plants' oil, urushiol. Urushiol "locks on" to skin cells within 20 minutes after exposure. Left untreated, skin will erupt into a red, itchy rash in 3 out of 4 people within 12 to 72 hours. Tecnu is specially formulated to "unlock "urushiol. Other products simply cover up the problem, while Tecnu cleanses the oil that causes the rash.

Tecnu saved my skin December 1, 2008
I was recommended this product after suffering from a bad case of poison ivy during a heatwave last summer. Not fun. It really helped with the itch and stopped the rash from spreading. It was much more effective than the steroid cream my dermatologist had prescribed.
Since then I use it every time I do gardening or brush removal and more than once it has stopped a reaction in its tracks. I recommend it to everyone who is highly allergic to plant oils or who does a lot of work outside.
Real Poison Ivy Help October 16, 2008
This product works very well.My wife is very allergic to the oils in ivy.This is the only product(including doctor's prescriptions)that actually cured&prevented the spread of poison ivy.Both of her legs were severely affected,&rapidly spread to her arms&face.In addition the cost saving's is 8 times cheaper than the pharmacy cost of 4.95 per 4oz.How can you beat that.You will love this product I am positive.Terry H.

I'm one of those lucky ones that really is sensitive to poison ivy (or oak or sumac, take your pick). The urishol oil spreads like wildfire on my skin. At the moment, I use 3 different products, two made by Tec Labs Oak-N-Ivy, like the one here.
Pro:
-If used AS DIRECTED within 2 hours of contact, generally removes all of the irritant
-Also good on an on-going basis to clean areas to prevent spread (don't dig your nails in! see our other reviews for itch relief)
-Shake well so that the mineral spirits mix well
-Light odor and no discoloration of skin, nothing to flake off as you rinse it off... no "pink stuff" like Mom's old-fashioned product
-This jumbo size is the only size! If you're washing with it like I do, you'll probably use a ton of it.
-Also, can be used to clean clothes and I have done so successfully, but it does use a lot of product. (I would note that I often throw away t-shirts, socks, anything that might be heavily contaminated and easy to replace, just in case.)
-According to the bottle, good for skunks and other undesireables... originally developed in the early 60's to remove radioactive dust from clothes and skin. It's properties for poison ivy/oak/sumac were a happy accident.
Con:
-Only provides a very brief itch relief... for that you must switch to another item (see our other reviews)
Bottom line: Highly recommended. Been using it since 2001 and I love it. See our other poison ivy relief favorites.

I use this every summer to wash off poison ivy when I know I brushed passed some. It works, I don't react if I wash it all off.
