Adequate relief Sad that no postage to UK Had friend from Canada accept parcel & bring over for me
Absolutely, unbelievable product! I haven’t been able to go out in the sun, uncovered with sun clothes for over 10 years now! After trying to get into a dermatologist to see if there is something I can do to help myself and no appointment available until 2027, I started to research and high and low and I came upon this product! I tested it out at our local beach here in the Midwest for like 20 minutes just a bathing on. OMG I HAD NO HEAT RASH, PRICKLY HEAT, RED ITCHY, BUMPY SKIN NOTHING. It was like I never even went out in the sun! I did this a few more times and then I had to come home and re-order because I think I found my miracle!! I wish I could share pictures, but I really don’t have anything to share because my skin has remained the same from the beginning of the summer when I found this product in June and now it is mid September and I never had a single breakout!!!!
Don’t read reviews, don’t walk, run to buy this product! You will finally be able to go back in the sun without that awful itchy rash plaguing your summer! Life-changing, honestly.
Holidays were a nightmare - constant pain after being in the sun even for a short time - couldn’t even take the children to the park - discovered this product after endless searching - tried so many things previously - but this has transformed my summers - don’t ever stop making it !
Shirado is a game changer! I can now go outside and enjoy the sun without worrying!
I bought this for my daughter who has a sun allergy. She could not enjoy any time out in the sun before and now she is excited to go to the lake and spend time outside. This has truly been life changing for us.
Our family LOVES these products. They truly make the sun much more comfortable for us. Not sure what we would do without these lotions, they’re amazing!!
Excellent product. I also used an antihistamine daily with the AGR+E and on the latest sun holiday had no flare ups at all. At night, would just use the AGR+E as a lotion. Have used this product for the past 4 years.
Life changing! In the past 16 years I have never been in the sun without blisters. This year before a sun vacation I found AGR+E products, and using the pre-lotion + sunscreen and the night lotion I can report NO BLISTERS! No itching. No vacation ruined. I am ordering my second bottle this year. I use it every time before any sun exposure and I have a gorgeous tan this year from actually enjoying being in the sun. Thank you!!
The night lotion is such a relief once my hives start. I get overnight relief to "put the fire out" and they don't get a chance to advance to blisters and bumps that itch and take days to heal. This is worth every penny! Ships fast, too.
Good cream. I like to use the daily anti oxidant lotion and the night cream. It seems to help my PMLE syndrome quite well. I noticed my Body is causing PMLE where I never used to get it in areas I don’t use the cream, because I’m using the lotions in the areas normally Affected so it’ll have to be a whole body thing. But that’s shows you that it works!
This is a wonderful product! I Love that I can just apply it, without having to wait for it to dry, to then apply sunscreen on top of it. This saves me so much time…Everyday I just apply it, it dries quickly…& I’m heading out the door 😉
This saves me when my PMLE flares up. The overnight cream works fast.
I have used Shirudo for some years now & now that the Sol3 is available, it’s so easy to use. Basically like normal sun cream but in my experience it has stopped my PMLE - I’m still very careful but as long as I don’t sit still for prolonged periods in direct sunlight, it works. I am in the UK so I have to use a shipping company to get the product which makes it quite pricey but it’s worth it for a rash free summer.
It helps a little, but I still have some bumps.
I suffered with the dreaded PMLE for years. So itchy and it lasted for weeks before it would clear up. So many vacations ruined. I discovered AGR+E 10 years ago which was a game changer for me but find the SOL+3 so simple to use with its one step application. We spent 3 weeks at the beach in Mexico this winter and I didn’t have one, single itchy bump. Very important to apply every 2 hrs and after every swim just like any other sun protection product. No itchy bumps and no sunburn! I use it on areas of my body that don’t normally break out like my face and ears and find it provides great sunscreen protection on its own. I love SOL+3 and carry it with me all the time.
My sister in law introduced me to this product a few years ago. I used to get horrible rashes at the beach. I had no idea it was PMLE. I didn’t even know what that was until she told me about the products you have. Happy to say I’ve never gotten the rash again when I use the lotion. Thank you so much for making this stuff. It’s a lifesaver.
This product is the best if you suffer from PMLE, or even just if you get sunburns. I have been using it on sun-exposed skin or areas where I have the PMLE rash and it is sooooo soothing! Really helps then itch and I believe heal the skin. For my kids, it reduces sunburns overnight. I will keep buying this one, it’s worth the price.
This is the absolute BEST product! It has definitely changed my summers! I have beautiful skin free of bumps from the sun.
I already wrote a review about how amazing the daily cream is! This stuff is fantastic. I now use it year round, not just against PMLE, but it's because it's the best cream I've ever used. Since I started using it 4 people have asked me if I've had work!
This stuff is a miracle in a bottle. I had such a PMLE flare that I was taking antihistamines every couple of hours. My Dr.s did not know what to do. I found this, and within 2 days the flare was gone. Because I had purchased a full bottle I kept using it. Are you ready for this? I had quite a few broken capillaries on my face -- by the time I was halfway through the tube most of them had disappeared. Mind blown. Turns out Rutin (and this stuff is chock full of glycosyrutin) strengthens capillary walls. But still, my derms were blown away. I don't just use this against PMLE now, I use it throughout the winter months. I used to use Augustinus Bader -- you know the crazy expensive "miracle in a bottle" product that everyone in Hollywood swears by? No more, THIS is the miracle in a bottle!
Really helps me to have some time out in the sun safely….
This product is a miracle for me. I wasn’t able to spend any time in the sun without being miserable, before I discovered Shirudo products. Sol is currently sold out. I’m praying it comes back soon.
For years I have used Shirudo products for P.M.L.E. They are the only creams that have offered me protection and relief from symptoms. I do not have any before or after photos because it has been so long since I have had a major outbreak. Consequently I have also not had to take prednisone either. Every opportunity I have to share my story and promote Shirido products I do… including my dermatologist who diagnosed me. I have not had to see him for years either. I also avoid direct contact w the sun as well.
Started using Shirudo products about 5 years ago and it has been life changing. Suffered with extreme PMLE and had no hope of being able to go to the beach or pool. My Doctor's only solution was steroids... I was totally defeated. After hours of internet research I found Shirudo and read so many encouraging testimonies. They were all TRUE! I faithfully use Shirudo products and enjoy my time in the sun. Thank you!!!
Love this product
Love these products. Absolutely zlife changjng! It would be awesome if these products came in 3 ounces so it could be packed in a carry on! Please!
This has been such a huge life saver! I can now safely enjoy the sun.
I bought it last year and used it incorrectly for an entire year and thought it did not work. Then, this year I read the reviews and instructions carefully and started using both creams correctly and it totally works. You must follow the directions to a T. I am now able to go outside without crouching and hiding from the sun. I have not gotten a rash since I started using both creams according to the instructions. Highly recommend!!! I feel normal again.
Love this product and we cannot be in the sun without it. Please don’t change it. A recent vacation proved this works so well. We forgot to cover a spot on the back that had an opening and my daughter had hives in that spot within an hour. We quickly covered it with the product and prevent a worse situation.
Works great!
I have had PMLE for approximately 27 years now and for the last two years I’ve used Shirudo and this is an absolute game changer! I was previously using Altruist but it’s so hard to get to the United States and it’s greasy. This is the first year I got the night repair from here and oh wow! I didn’t even need to take steroids and the breakout was 70% better by morning. I cannot praise this product enough.
Last year I started having a more severe issue with PMLE and began developing the rashes in the Spring. I had previously only had a reaction after extremely strong sun exposure (usually while tanning a lot or on vacation) and I only got it in one spot. Last year it was everywhere and no medical professional could help me apart from topical or oral steroids and antihistamines. This helped a bit but it was awful and I was inside a lot. Near the end of the summer I came across Shirudo and decided it was worth trying as I was happy to try anything at that point. I was AMAZED. Because of how bad my PMLE got, I had a rash for the entire summer and my skin was horribly sensitive however I noticed the healing power of the Shirudo lotion in literally hours. After the overnight cream, I woke up and my rash had reduced significantly without any steroids or medication. This has truly changed my life and I don't know how I would function without it. This year, I worked on getting gradual sun exposure since early spring and I couldn't have done that without my Shirudo lotion that helped both prevent and treat any rashes as I was learning how much sun exposure I can tolerate. I'm happy to say I am developing a tolerance and feel less anxiety about being in the sun. I honestly can't thank this company enough for having these products that allow me to have a somewhat normal summer life again. Thank you and please never go away!!
An absolute need for summer!!
Love this product so much!! It makes such a big difference and definitely helps calm down my skin.
I became a fan of this a few years ago when I took it to on a beach trip and I didn't break out nearly as bad as I normally would. I used it every day during the summer.
Great product. Allows me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about PMLE.
10 years ago my daughter (5 at the time) was diagnosed with PMLE. It took me a year of research to figure out what was causing her reactions to the sun which at many points restricted her breathing as well. When I finally came across Shirudo and it actually worked I burst into tears!! This product has helped my daughter have a normal childhood. And being a teenager now, it gives her the confidence to be outside with her friends and be able to have fun without worrying she will have a very painful reaction. This WORKS!!! And I will be forever grateful!!!
My PMLE gets triggered every year and Shirudo is the only company that has products that work for me! I’m so thankful to have this antioxidant lotion that’s so simple to put on in one step. I’m not able to sit out in the sun for long periods but I can walk my dog on really hot days in teeshirt without fear of a breakout.
