The new version does not live up to the old. Purchase something else.
I will be reviewing the newest formula of New-Skin as compared to the previous version of the formula. Ingredients: Active: (New) Benzethonium Chloride 0.2% - Antiseptic Inactive: Amyl acetate, camphor, ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, n-butyl acetate, nitrocellulose. Active: (Old) 8-Hydroxyquinoline 1% - Antiseptic Inactive: alcohol 6.7%, oil of cloves, pyroxylin solution. I've used the new formula since September 2015, and I am completely dissatisfied with it. 1. The current formula takes much longer to dry than the previous version. 2. It does not seal as well, even after several coats. I am having to apply band-aids over the wound even when using New-Skin. The old formula would leave a thick coat protecting the wound. 3. Wounds take much longer to heal. often when I arrive home I will remove what coating of New-Skin is remaining, and apply an antibiotic ointment and a band-aid. 4. The scent has changed. understandably since the formula has changed. New-Skin now smells like fingernail polish remover, and burns like it as well, but goes away quickly as it dries. The older formula scent was not quite as strong since it was primarily oil of cloves, and was more pleasant, but would last with you throughout the day. Now I made the purchase because in the area called Important Information the ingredients section noted that this was the old formula. but when the package arrived and I checked the box I was disappointed to find out that the listing on Amazon was incorrect, and this is the new formula. I will not be purchasing New-Skin again with the current formula. Find a different instant skin type of bandage.
