I Bought Magicool last year when we had really hot weather to use in the office.

Dont know if it was faulty but it didnt come out with a fine mist that you expect. Water came out of can like a power washer :shock: hair was soaked and mascara was all down my face :lol:

needless to say it is still in my drawer never been used again :D

Prickly Heat

Postby coral » 30 Jul 2008 16:07

Hey Lynn

I just returned from Turkey and had a most beautiful holiday. It was very hot and Magicool was a Godsend. I took 3 cans ( purchased 3 for 2 from Superdrug) and used them all. The secret is if you hold the can too close, the spray is uneven and seems wet but if you hold it as directed on the can at about 25 cms, the spray is microfine and cools you instantly, make sure you spray it on the back of the neck. Meryl Streep was seen using it in Mama Mia. It must have been hot on that Greek Island.

I suffer badly from Prickly Heat and when I saw the TV advert on magicool Plus www.magicoolplus.com I bought Magicool Plus Prickly Heat spray also from Superdrug. The funny thing is the spray finished while I was using it and you can see the difference, the part which was treated with the spray was clear of Prickly Heat and the part that was not was very itchy. Next time I will make sure I have sufficient stock for the holiday.

I was looking at this today, so you spray it, it cools you down and the prickly heat goes, but what happens when you get hot again, does it come back and you have to keep on spraying?

I would need about 10 bottles a day ???

According to the labelling on the canister, it works by combining in one application several anti-itch and skin calming therapies ( about 6 are listed on the labelling) It is sterile as well so it cleanses the pores and removes any debris blocking the sweat glands.

Believe me it does work just as the TV ad says and its effect is long lasting. I took one can but it was used by the whole family. I should have taken two. It is safe for small children as well which is amazing. Most drugs for PH is not suitable for small children.

Thanks for all the info, I might have to get one or two, I am staying longer this year, and prickly heat is horrid.

Do not leave it to the last minute though, it is constantly out of stock because of the high demand. I would try to get it at least two weeks before departure

Hi Mr Tibbs,

Did you get the Magicool Plus Prickly Heat, the orange bottle ? as Magicool is the normal cooling spray blue bottle.

Happy Holiday to you too

Coral :)
