Many people gloss over the fact that Lavengel® was first created to help people - those with shingles (Herpes zoster) to be exact. While our commercial quest began in the canine world, we still have our sights set on healing Homo Sapiens as well.

With dogs, we have found that Lavengel® is widely applicable, able to solve a slew of difficult skin issues. Our growing pile of research and anecdotal data are saying the same for humans, too.

In the near future, we plan to reshape the company, uniting all products under a new name and creating lines specifically for humans, dogs, and other animals.

For now, these before-after photos and stories serve as a testament to our product's power and versatility, as well as a foretaste of what's to come.

Covered in infected mosquito bites

"This is going to be a review for the books. I went rock collecting with some friends last fall in NC. I was hit by thousands of mosquitoes.

All the bites I had were infected within 24 hours. After 2 trips to the ER and multiple antibiotics, nothing was working.

My friend that I was with told me about Lavengel. He said yes it’s for dogs but the properties that make up the gel would work for humans as well. I did a little research and was able to get some Lavengel.

I started using it and it worked.

I was shocked. Multiple visits to the ER, hundreds of dollars in prescriptions and Lavengel was the product that worked the best.

Yes, it clearly states for dogs, but I tried it and it was the best thing I used. If I could post photos for the review, I absolutely would. I was covered from the neck down.

I would recommend this product to anyone or any dog. Thank you!"

Shingles in a 90-year-old senior

"Mom and I read an article telling all about the origins of Lavengel. The following week I got word that my 90 year old father-in-law was experiencing a terrible case of shingles involving his ears and head.

He was Miserable! In such pain. Soooo.... Mom says "whatcha doing here?" I've got an idea...and I'm gonna use Wilmer [father-in-law] as a guinea pig!

I purchased a quite pricey, extremely small tube of Lavengel. Off I go to see Wilmer. He says, "I'm so miserable I can't even sleep at night! My head and ears!!"

Well, I got something I want you to try."

"What do I owe you?"

"Nothing! I'm using you as an experiment! I just want you to use this and tell me if it helps...and don't worry about the part that says it will make your coat shiny!" 🤣

Two days later, 3 different family members at 3 different times called to say it was the ONLY thing in two weeks that had given him any relief! They purchased another tube and Wilmer told me that was the most AMAZING stuff he had ever seen!

We have continued to use it on ourselves as well as a hot spot on the dog that was refusing to heal. We showed our local vet the improvement after just 4 applications, and he was impressed to say the least!

Mom left him the box so he could order. We would love the option to be able to purchase a bigger tube!! Of course a little goes a long way. Thank you so much for creating this product for our beloved animals, and I just wanted everyone to know that we humans can also benefit!"

Healing a skin cancer removal site

"I have lots of skin sensitivities (including to Vaseline) so after a skin cancer spot removal wouldn’t heal after 6 weeks, I applied Lavengel faithfully for a few weeks with amazing results.

It healed quickly, smoothly, completely and better than any of my previous skin cancer removal spots. Still looks great a year later.

It also worked well on our son’s dog’s hot spots/itching. That’s what made me think I should use it. The natural ingredients worked amazingly."

-- Janet R.

Radiation dermatitis from breast cancer treatment

"We used Lavengel on radiation dermatitis on my mom after treatment for breast cancer, and she has been peeling and the redness is almost completely gone.

Her skin is looking great! I was so worried her skin would be like leather! Lavengel is amazing."

-- Mary M.

Treating toenail fungus

"I am writing because of Lavengel's off-label human benefits. It is invaluable for toenail fungus, warts, and itchy mosquito bites.

I’m only sorry I didn’t think to take photos beforehand. But the results are unequivocal. I dearly wish I could have had Lavengel for my mother’s diabetes-affected toes, for which I used zinc ointment without much success.

I am especially grateful to have such swift and complete remediation of the nail fungus. You have won a devoted customer. Thank you."

-- B.T.

Fibromyalgia fever blisters

"I have fibromyalgia, and with flares come fever blisters and burning nerve pain on my cheeks.

OTC ointments did nothing to either stop or reduce these episodes. My daughter met Dr. Clark, and I was introduced to Lavengel. It is a game changer for me.

As soon as symptoms start, I apply small amounts of Lavengel to the affected areas. It soothes the nerve endings and begins decreasing fever blister symptoms.

What would have been 7-10 days of healing is reduced to 2-4 days."

-- Linda L.

Cold sores / fever blisters (compared to Abreva®)

"I don’t get fever blisters very often but when one erupts, I like to minimize its duration. Since I work with the public, it is nice to find a product that is effective in shortening the life of any fever blister I have.

Abreva is a product I have used in the past. It has disappointed me in not living up to its promise of reducing the healing time. But Lavengel delivered as promised!

Not only was the duration of my fever blister reduced, the severity of it was minimized! It is always exciting to discover a product that helps heal, especially in a natural way that is based on natural ingredients."

-- Pam R.

Alleviating adult + child eczema

"Where steroids from the dermatologist required 2-3 weeks to see any results, the use of Lavengel dried up my eczema and reduced my swelling in about a week.

In addition, my eczema would return when using a steroid cream, but after a couple of outbreaks that were treated with Lavengel, my problems are completely gone."

-- John B.

"My youngest, Wyatt, was having eczema-like sores on his fingers. We had tried ointments that the dermatologist had given us. They provided some relief, but it was not lasting and they started to become less effective.

My wife and I decided to get some Lavengel and give it a try. It worked great! Wyatt was getting much more relief and the sores started clearing up.

He says it is much better than the other ointments we were using before."

-- John M.

Soothing plaque psoriasis

"I have minor plaque psoriasis and occasionally get small patches of dry flakey skin. Most prescription medications are harsh on my skin because it's so sensitive.

When I used Lavengel on a few of my psoriasis spots, it immediately alleviated the discomfort and itching.

After a week or use of daily use, there was a noticeable difference in the quality of my skin. It was smoother, less red, and less irritated.

-- Jamie C.

"After using many lotions and creams to treat psoriasis on my foot and hand, Lavengel has been the most soothing product I’ve used. It smells wonderful, too!"

-- Peggy W.

Keratosis + red light irritation

"After Red Light treatment for keratosis I applied Lavengel and found immediate relief from irritated skin spots."

-- D.R.

Surgery scar reduction

"I used Lavengel on a fresh hip surgical scar twice a day for two weeks. My scar is a faint 4 inch white line now.

My surgical site was less painful as it healed, too. Lavengel really aids in healing!"

-- Susan M.

"I had surgery on my neck and it resulted in a pretty nasty incision line. After the appropriate time, I started using Lavengel on the incision twice a day.

I am happy to say that after about 3 months the scar is barely noticeable. I love this product! I truly believe I should have had a very bad scar if I had not used Lavengel."

-- Gayle H.

"Scars come with surgery, and I knew I would have one to remember following hip replacement. Thanks to your gel, that scar is barely visible, three years later. The scar tissue feels no different from the natural skin that surrounds it."

-- Rob C.

Calming canker sores

"Lavengel has been a godsend! I have been battling horrific canker sores since the birth of our daughter, 6 years ago.

The canker sores have gotten so big – leaving me unable to eat for a week at a time, or having to make an emergency dental appointment to have the sore cauterized.

I have tried everything to help minimize the outbreaks – diet change; all natural products; brushing my teeth after every meal; and nothing has helped the severity of the sore, or its duration. That is, until I discovered Lavengel.

It not only helps the pain, it also reduces the time I have a canker sore, and how many outbreaks I endure in a month.

Because of Lavengel, I am able to eat a lot of food I was unable to eat before! I am finally starting to get my life back!"

-- Amanda R.

Cuts + wounds

"A friend’s hound dog accidentally raked a 3 inch gash in my arm with his nails while we were playing. He didn’t mean to.

Once the bleeding stopped, I began applying Lavengel. It created a nice seal and healed so quickly. After about a week it is almost gone, and there will be no scar! 

We love this product for all types of cuts and daily life oopsies."

-- Cindy D.

"About 3 years ago, I had a major fall down a long set of concrete steps. One of my really bad injuries was a diagonal cut into my right thumb.

The swelling and bleeding was significant, and I faced the possibility of surgery. After several days, Dr. Clark allowed me to use the gel that he was producing even though it was still in the trial stage.

Within a few days, the swelling in my thumb had gone down and a visible healing had begun. I continued to use this product and am very pleased to say that my thumb healed without complications. I am happy to endorse Lavengel without any reservations."

-- Judy C.

Cow parsnip rash

"I used Lavengel on a cow parsnip rash/blisters and it helped to stop the itch and it healed much faster (a couple of days rather than 7-10 days), I also did not get the scar that is usually left behind.

I also use it regularly on cuts and scrapes and feel that it helps the skin heal and not scar."

-- Britta B.

"I got a really bad blister on my wrist from cow parsnip and I put Lavengel on it, it felt much better and healed faster too."

-- Niko M.
