With Tecnu Extreme, Tec Labs, The Poison Oak and Ivy Experts, have created an entirely new formulation, added micro fine scrubbing beads to help remove the rash causing oils that are embedded in the skin, and added the itch relieving active ingredient Grindelia. Its a one-step solution to remove urushiol oil and relieve itching and burning from the rash. If you know you have been exposed to poison ivy, oak or sumac, you can wash with Tecnu Extreme to remove the urushiol oil before your rash begins.

Summary: works!
Comment: I got into some poison oak and meant to wash it off when I got home, but I forgot... until I broke out. I kept thinking I could just wait it out, but after scratching myself to death, I researched treatments on the internet and found this. It does NOT instantly cure the rash or make it go away so if that's what you're hoping for, you'll be disappointed. But it does relieve the itching and considerably diminish the inflammation.
I used the Tecnu as directed, then rubbed Neosporin on the worst places. In less than 24 hours I can see a huge reduction in the swelling & redness. I still have welts but they're quite bearable. The raw places are healing.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone with poison oak.

Summary: SO GOOD, IT WILL PROBABLY BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET
Comment: I have suffered from poison oak-ivy for as long as I can remember and I am in my 50's now. No matter how I try to avoid it I still seem to get it about 3-5 times a year. Most of the time I get on my face and have to go to the doctor and get at least two shots. Last time it took me 4 shots to get rid of it.
I will argue with anyone that this stuff does spread. It starts on my arms and ends up everywhere until my eyes are so puffed up that I can't see out of them.
The only thing that helped me from getting this stuff was a series of shots, that was given out about a decade ago, and is now not available.
So I plan on buying this stuff in bulk for the future. It works. If you follow the directions it works. Just a few weeks ago I was doing some weeding and got it on my face and arms (was wearing long sleeve shirt pants, and socks. Followed the directions got a few spots still, but it did not spread and it did not drive me nuts from itching.
Thank you tecnu, I can have a life again,
Linda Creswell

Summary: technu extreme review
Comment: I was sold on this product until I used it. It does not help poison ivy outbreaks at all. It does NOT shorten its rash life. It does NOT reduce itching. It does NOT reduce rash life. This product is good for nothing except emptying your wallet.

Summary: Great off-the-shelf treatment
Comment: This product is a great alternative to scratching. I'm not sure how much it actually helps in stopping itch altogether, but it's a wonderful prep for another treatment, such as Ivarest. I use this as the first step of treatment of a confirmed outbreak, not as a preventative cleansing. For that I use regular Technu. When I know I've been infected, I use this product to thorougly scrub the infected area, which cleans away all the offending oils. The abrasive texture also gives a nice, scratching relief, which help in avoiding scratching with your fingers. After the scrubbing I immediately start treatment with Ivarest.
For me, this is an essential ingredient in treatment of a real outbreak.

Summary: Works Well But Cortaid by J&J Costs Much Less
Comment: Like most people, I'm allergic to poison ivy and poison oak and have had innumerable cases throughout my life ranging from mild to severe. Absent a shot of cortisone for a moderate-severe rash, Tecnu Extreme works well at reducing itching and speeding healing. However, Johnson & Johnson has come out with Cortaid -- same function and effect -- for less than half the price of Tecnu.
