What to Expect
Having used this product for over a month, I found that my athlete’s foot had greatly improved. I used it for a bit longer than you are supposed to and found that I did not become infected again once I stopped using it. The product works but it has the unfortunate drawback of having a disgustingly strong smell when you use it. You will want to use it in a large well-ventilated space if you want to avoid breathing it in too much but even then, the smell can linger afterwards.
Keep an Eye Out
This spray may dry and irritate the skin because of its alcohol content. You should keep a close eye on your skin as you use this product in case any problems develop. If your condition does not improve after 4 weeks of use, then stop using it and see your physician. If your condition worsens or has any adverse side effects, then cease using it immediately and seek the aid of a medical professional. You should not use this on a child under 2 years of age and this product has to be kept out of the reach of children as well.

The Bottom Line
The most important positive of this spray is that it does work. It may smell extremely unpleasant but it does what it claims to do. The application of the product is straightforward and the price for that amount of product seems to be good value. The manufacturer’s guarantee means that it is easy to return the product for a refund. However, the product is not entirely good as it has its drawback. Its odor would put off many people and would be something that you would have to put up with twice a day for an extended period of time. Additionally, the spray can cause new problems. The alcohol content of CVS Athlete’s Foot Spray can dry out the skin and irritate it, which would only make the experience of having Athlete’s Foot even more unpleasant. How effective the product might be for the majority of people is unknown as there are too few reviews to gain a proper insight into this. Overall, while this spray appears to work it might prove unsuitable for some people’s needs.
