This is also dependent on your method of shipment and how quickly you require your order to arrive. iHerb also offers a rewards program if this is an online retailer that you frequent.
Though it is noted that you can purchase this product on the S.S.S. Company’s website, the link to a purchasing page is difficult to find. Therefore, a purchase price was not available to be viewed. There is contact information listed as to how to order by phone if you prefer this method. Additionally, information on shipping rates was not immediately available either.
What to Expect
This is a product that if used correctly and as suggested, will produce results. It is not an immediate relief product and will not cure the fungus overnight, but it will make improvements gradually.
Keep and Eye Out
This product is not intended for use in children under the age of 2, unless directed to do so by a medical doctor. Additionally it should not be used to treat diaper rash. It is a product only to be used on affected areas externally. If the condition persists longer than the suggested treatment timeframe, it is suggested to seek medical advice.
There are no specific side effects listed other than the warnings and guidelines noted above.
Manufacturer’s Commitment
No return policy or guarantee can be found on the S.S.S Company’s website. It should be noted that if you purchase this item directly from the company, it may be advisable to ask further questions regarding returns should you be less than satisfied. If purchasing from an outside retailer, such as iHerb.com, further research on return policies regarding individual products is suggested.
The Bottom Line
Though it is suggested to have a doctor’s approval on starting this ointment, it is convenient to be able to purchase it over the counter for recurring infections. It has a well known active anti fungal ingredient in the ingredient list, in addition to only a few other ingredients, which most will find reassuring in knowing the minimal amount of extras added into the products they use. The price point seems very reasonable, though it is concerning not to have a guarantee or return policy available from the manufacturer.
