What Is Equate Hemorrhoidal Cream?
In this review, we have found that Equate Hemorrhoidal Cream is labeled to protect the skin from increased irritation due to hemorrhoids. By protecting the irritated skin, the Equate Hemorrhoidal Cream aims to keep the symptoms of hemorrhoids manageable, and includes a local anesthetic to help reduce pain. The manufacturer claims that it will bring relief to the painful burning sensation, itching, and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids.
Ingredients And How It Works
- Glycerin
- Phenylephrine HCl 0.25% (Hydrochloride)
- White petrolatum 15%
Glycerin is used to treat constipation, so it may increase the number of bowel movements. Phenylephrine (HCl 0.25%) reduces irritation and soreness, though not specifically tested for effectiveness on hemorrhoidal irritation. Phenylephrine causes the constriction of vascular smooth muscle and is often used in the treatment of hemorrhoids presumably to narrow the swollen veins and relieve the attendant pain. White petrolatum commonly found in treatment ointments for diaper rash. We have found that there are no anti-inflammatory properties present in this cream, most of the important ingredients that a tropical cream should have are absent in this cream, to name a few would be Butcher’s Broom, Glycerin, Lidocaine, Organic Marigold, and Aloe Vera.

Our Review Summary Of Equate Hemorrhoidal Cream
In this review of Equate Hemorrhoidal Cream we have found that it may help with temporary relief from hemorrhoid symptoms, however, the ingredients are not clinically proven, and can even cause increased discomfort, with the risk of a worsened condition. We have also found that there is no anti-inflammatory agent present in the cream, which is scientifically proven to be one of the most important ingredients required in hemorrhoidal cream. For the manufacturer to not offer a guarantee raises the question of how confident the manufacturer is in his or her own product, as most leading manufacturers offer a 365 day 100% guarantee.
