In this review, we examine the product Ego SolvEasy Tinea Cream. The cream is designed to provide relief from uncomfortable symptoms of athlete’s foot. The manufacturer claims that this product will provide quick and effective results. We have analyzed the factors which contribute to the product’s ability to deliver on these claims and, thus, will help you make an informed consumer purchase.
The formula contains one active ingredient, Terbinafine Hydrochloride (1%). Terbinafine Hydrochloride is well known for its fungal fighting properties and, thus, is used in many athlete’s foot creams. The ingredient works to inhibit the growth of fungus that would, otherwise, lead to athlete’s foot. Furthermore, it is argued to remedy symptoms such as itching, burning, and peeling. That said, the ingredient is known to induce unwanted side effects. This hinders the product’s ability to provide effective relief from athlete’s foot. Competing products on the market contain safe and tested ingredients, such as Undecylenic Acid. Undecylenic Acid is a potent ingredient that targets the root of fungal infection for efficient relief and prevention of the skin condition in the future. This ingredient should be considered when searching for an optimal athlete’s foot cream. It also concerning that Ego SolvEasy Tinea Cream contains the preservatives Benzyl Alcohol and Hydroxybenzoates. These preservatives may have harmful implications on sensitive skin which, thus, renders this product inferior to alternatives on the market.
The manufacturer states that this product should be applied to clean and dry skin. It should be applied to the affected area once daily, for seven (7) days. The cream should be used for up to four (4) weeks if the infection is on the sole of the foot. The manufacturer claims that this ingredient will remain in the skin long after the 7-day application. While it supplies a sufficient concentration of the main active ingredient, it alone cannot be a total-care dosage for optimal results.
The product can be purchased online from the manufacturer. A 15g tube will cost you $8.85 USD. The price is relatively high considering that the manufacturer does not indicate how long a tube will last. There are no discounts or bulk-buy deals to ensure that prolonged use is not costly.
The product is not claimed to cause negative side effects. However, further research suggests that the active ingredient Terbinafine Hydrochloride can cause burning, itching, and/or irritation. Users with sensitive skin should monitor for any of these side effects and we recommend discontinuing use if they persist.
The manufacturer covers purchases of this product with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The inclusion of a guarantee is appealing at first glance, however, opened products are not eligible for a refund. This means that you cannot test the product efficacy. The lack of return policy for partially used products brings the manufacturer’s confidence into question. This, coupled with the fact that there are limited customer reviews to vouch for the product, is a major concern.
Ego SolvEasy Tinea Cream contains an ingredient argued to remedy athlete’s foot. It supplies a sufficient concentration of this ingredient which is positive to note. The addition of a purchase guarantee would usually instill confidence, however, this guarantee does not apply to partially used products. This suggests that the manufacturer is not certain whether it will provide optimal results. The product is priced fairly high considering that it lacks many beneficial ingredients found in alternatives on the market. Furthermore, we are skeptical of the product efficacy as it may lead to unwanted side effects. Therefore, we do not recommend this product and suggest opting for a clinically proven formula that is safe and affordable.
