Sarna Anti-Itch Lotion

When itching won't quit — whether from dry skin, eczema, insect bites, hives, or minor skin irritation — Sarna delivers dermatologist-recommended relief without the sting or heavy fragrance of many topical treatments. This collection carries the two formulas people reach for most, each built around a different active ingredient so you can match the lotion to what your skin actually needs.

The original Sarna Itch Relief Lotion combines 0.5% camphor and 0.5% menthol in a 7.5 oz bottle. That cooling menthol-camphor pairing is what gives Sarna its signature soothing sensation — helpful for the widespread, nagging itch that comes with very dry skin, poison ivy, sunburn, or bug bites. Because it's steroid-free, many people keep it on hand for regular use when a prescription cream feels like overkill.

Sarna Sensitive Pramoxine Itch Relief takes a different approach, using 1% pramoxine HCl instead of menthol and camphor. Pramoxine is a topical anesthetic that quiets itch nerves directly, and this fragrance-free 7.5 oz formula is the better pick if the cooling tingle of the original is too intense — for instance on delicate, reactive, or already-inflamed skin. It's a common choice for anyone whose itching flares easily from added scents or menthol.

Both are non-greasy lotions that absorb quickly, so they work well as an everyday moisturizing step rather than just a spot treatment. A simple way to choose: reach for the camphor-and-menthol original when you want that fast cooling relief, and reach for Sensitive Pramoxine when comfort and low irritation matter more than the cooling feel. As always, follow the label directions and check with your clinician if itching is severe, spreading, or doesn't improve within a few days.
