Question:
Has anyone ever heard of using Preparation H on your skin ?
I heard something recently that gave me a chuckle. A friend said someone had the surgery and lost over 230 lbs and did not have plastic surgery. Her skin was supposedly very supple and no surgery was required. She said the lady said she used Preparation H. Now we all know it is suppose to be for the shrinking and swelling for hemmoroidal tissues. I later heard females has been using it under their eyes for their bags and that too is suppose to work. I am assuming anything that would be gentle enough for the anal region surely would not irritate the skin...I guess I just want to know if any brave souls tried this and noticed any positive results? I am lol but serious ... — TerryS (posted on February 4, 2004)

I use it twice a week (for about 2mo now)and put it on before bedtime. My
husband and I have actually noticed a decrease in the lines im getting
around my mouth (I guess they are smile lines). My friend has great skin
and she claimed it was due to the cream, so I figured why not, I have tried
everything else. Plus this is one of the models secrets for under the eyes.
It is funny, but seems to work some :o)

I use it everyday under my eyes and under my chin. I can actually see the
difference when I don't use it, particularly under the eyes. I've been
using it for quite awhile and have seen no negative side effects. I can't
imagine it doing anything for large areas of skin though and it would take
tons of it anyway.

I heard that the formulation they sell in the US no longer
has the wonderful ingrediant in it and that you have to get
it from Canada. I've actually seen a spam mail before that followed those
lines. To the current users-- are you using
old tubes or new ones? If the new ones work, I'm on my way to the
store.....

Like Diane said, it is a temporary fix for fine lines and wrinkles.
Temporary...only when you use it....not gonna have lasting effects.
Anyhow, if you are contemplating PS, I would assume it would be for more
than fine lines and wrinkles. *wink* Think about it....if it actually
'cured' the issue, why are some people still having surgery to correct the
issue this medication was intended for?

Thanks for the responses..I was just baffled as to how someone could use
the cream and "claim" not to have needed PS because of it
afterall 230 lbs was alot of weight loss. As far as the eye or face
treatment..if it works and ppl use it and find relief whether temporary or
what they feel is long lasting...super..I'll not slam their efforts...but I
just found it hard to believe about the excess skin cure. Heck if it does
work...I will buy it by the truckloads... lol

I had to laugh when I read this post, although I know you were at least
partially serious! ;) I had heard about this from a friend - that using
Prep. H was an old trick that models use. They even did a short bit on it
in the Sandra Bullock movie, "Miss Congeniality." I thought they
were joking! Heck, the way I figure it, cream is cream, and what's good
for the *delicate* area of your backside is probably no worse for your face
or anywhere else. But does it WORK? I will let you know when I get back
from the drug store. :) :) :)

Hey, my daughter and daugther-in-law use it in the summer during swimsuit
time on their legs for cellulite. They have used some very expensive
creams made especially for that but claim the prep-h works just as well or
better. Go figure. I will have to try it on my face now. (but does this
make me a butt head?)

Rumor has it that the ingredient we'd be after is missing from the USA
version (blue). We want the Canadian version (green). At least it's cheap.
Guess how I know?

To Teresa M, I'm using a tube bought less than a month ago but don't know
how long it was on the shelf before that. It is still working but if it
stops, I definitely want the "green" stuff.

Hi Ladies! I have a tube with green on it and it does seem to help. Does
anyone know whether you should put it on under or over your other skin care
cream? And what do you do about the smell? I put some on while ago, under
make-up and moisturizer, and I can still smell it. I don't want people to
think I've been rubbing tuna fish on my face!

I have used Prep- H- the cream vs oily base on a prior OR scar and it did
seem to work. I will try it again when my new incision from by-paa heals.
I will also try coco butter.
