for most cases basically overnight or at longest one to two days. Apply and then cover with lightgauze bandage to protect clothing or bed sheets. Reapply next day. Great for bringing a boil to rupture and drain or for drawing an infected splinter to the top of the skin.

I had a boil for many months. Then finally I started putting warm compresses on it several times a day for about a week. I ordered the ichthammol salve and applied it, and it worked within about a day. I think it may have taken longer if I hadn't done the warm compresses beforehand.

I would say overnight or at longest a day or two. I apply it and then put a lightly covered gauze bandage so it does not get on bed sheet or clothes. Reapply some everyday and change he bandage. It is great for bringing a boil to drain or drawing up a splinter that is infected to the top.

It took about 2 1/2 weeks to work....still better than going under the blade.

This salve is amazing! My sister's caretaker had a painful boil on the side of her breast. I put the salve on it before bedtime, and the next morning, it had totally drained and went away. It didn't even seem to have a head on it and had been very sore for days before the salve. She was so relieved. Be sure to use a bandage/band-aid because the salve is black and sticky. I bought two more tubes to have in our first aid kit. I've been told by a pharmacist it works for serious skin infections and will draw splinters out. I am sold on it.

I applied it to the big nexcare waterproof bandage, then covered the boil with the bandage. Changed it out every day or so. For me it took about a week for the core to come out, then just had to wait for everything to settle, about another week or so. Hope this helps.

It starts to work within an hour. Just put it on the area and cover with a bandage. It will draw out infection. I think it works better than antibiotic salve too pull infection.

Actually, Salicylic acid is self neutralizing and thus does not require a neutralizer. The acid will self neutralize after about 8 minutes. You should NOT use the baking soda after salicylic acid as that will increase the PH of the skin to become basic. Only neutralize if there is discomfort. If not, leave it on for 8 minutes, then rinse face with cold water and apply moisteurizer.Make sure you are not allergic to aspirin before using this

my experience has been one hour minimum and up to 3 hours or so. It loses effectiveness after about 3 hours anyway per their instructions.

As long as the regular norvell....if maintained properly:-) I usually shower 3-4 hours after application and I am equally happy with these results as the regular. For me 5-7 days.

It works but it takes time. No overnight results. I used it for spot treatment and I was very happy I used it twice a day

It usually takes about 15-20 minutes to effect. And then it's effect lasts for an hour.

The product will take about 2 weeks b4 u c the spots disappear, which is good. I have spent lots of money on another product that did the same thing. Very pleased!

It does, I don't know the percentage, but if you go to walgreens they only sell this PRID Salve and if you go to CVS they sell their Drawing Salve Ichthammol Ointment. I would go with either depending on which location was closer to me as they both have good reviews.

I have been taking Swedish Bitters over 20 years, 1 teaspoon every morning keeps me 'regular' and feeling good. However, I've taken it for pain (applied topically) and it seems to work immediately for whatever I use it for. Most herbal remedies can take up to 30 days to 'kick in', but read the back of the box for specific doses. It's also great as a compress.

I just re-read the package; Terro doesn't say how long it takes. I'd guess about a week or so. In the meantime, I roll a piece of masking tape around my finger and "dot" up a lot of the little pests.

Hi Julie,You should start seeing the results by 3 or 4 th week. Again it is gud to use this along with control on diet and exercise. For me this cream did wonders!

Yes, it works fast for me. Within 15 to 30 minutes. I also like the Leg Cramp Ointment. I rub that on the backs of my knees/thighs and it helps as well.

Yes, it's just that easy, it takes 24 hours to take complete effect . Totally worth it. I have never been so impressed by a product.

For all concerns 4 hours. Katadyn's Micropur tablets claim to be "effective against killing viruses and bacteria, including cryptosporidium and giardia." Most concerns are eliminated within the first hour. But cryptosporidium takes 4 hours . I am planning to use the tablets in conjunction with a water filter. My water filter removes cryptosporium - so I won't have as long to wait...But always better to be safe than sorry.

You do not need to use a lot of the product on each application.Just enough to cover the tip of a finger and apply in four points: nose, both cheeks, and forehead.The secret is not on the quantity but on the massaging of the skin that helps the solution to access the lower layers.It takes about 10 to 14 days to see the results. The skin needs time to clear the bacteria and then healing starts. I hope this information helps.

This works within 2 weeks. You will notice an improvement within a week. It depends on the bruising.

This product is not an instant killer and full results may take several days for complete eradication. I hope you are using this product correctly, it is a barrier meant to be used behind walls to prevent activity. Hope this is some help.
