Customer reviews of Vuret HS Flare Control Cream
Fewer, smaller flares under my arms
I've had HS since college. This doesn't make it go away, but my flares are smaller and settle faster. Being able to message the provider without booking an appointment matters a lot to me.
Helps with active flares remarkably well
Stings slightly for a couple of minutes on raw areas, so I apply gently. On new developing lumps it calms things down much faster than anything else I've tried. Discreet packaging is a big plus.
Calms flare-ups fast, best on new spots
Groin flares settle down noticeably quicker. Stings slightly for the first couple of minutes if skin is open, but it cools the inflammation down within 48 hours. The provider was very helpful answering my questions.
Finally something I can use at home
I avoided dealing with HS for years because it's embarrassing to talk about. The online form made it easy. Flares are more manageable now.
Some dryness, well worth it
The skin gets a bit dry where I apply it, so I apply a plain moisturizer around the area an hour later. Overall my flares don't last nearly as long.
Good for active bumps, just keep realistic expectations
For deep stage-3 tracks you still need in-person care, but for everyday surface flare-ups this cream cools down the throbbing within a day or two. Has a mild active ingredient scent at first, but it fades quickly.
My go-to when I feel one starting
I put it on as soon as I feel a lump forming. It doesn't stop every flare but they rarely get as bad as they used to.
