With several people saying they have gotten it on a clearance price.........I am worried they going to discontinue the Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel? I sure hope not! Does anyone know?

I wish I could find it on sale.

They may just be updating the product to give it different packaging or to make it "better"...

I finally got mine today. Just like someone else said it was on clearance because they are getting rid of it!!!!! I was at Walmart. I am going to try it and if I like it I may go buy the rest of it!!!

Please tell us how you like it when you get the chance to road-test it, OK? It's my HG face and eye primer and I have 5 tubes of it as we don't have it in Australia.

I can't imagine that they would discontinue this product as it has rave reviews on drugstore.com Online Pharmacy - Prescription Drugs, Health and Beauty, plus more, Amazon.com, Buzzillions.com, eBay Guides and various makeup forums.

If you do go back and buy the rest, I might be tempted to buy some off you!

I am going to go out and get me a tube to test out for myself

oops forgot to post TY for passing this tip along

I hope it works as well for you as it does for those of us who are Monistat Soothing Care powder-gel fans!

It must be a real winner because Avon has just come out with their version of Monistat's Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel which they named Simply Delicate Soothing Anti-Chafing Gel.

haha.. wow.. I discovered this trick about a year and a half ago and I forgot about it until now! It worked pretty good, but I never use primers anymore because I don't need one with my Colorstay foundation. I will have to say.. that the product works GREAT for anti-chafing for the inner thighs.

It worked great the first few times I used it, then it lost its 'oomph!' I don't know if it was just me or not!

I personally have not had that problem yet. But then again, I've only used the gel as a primer a couple of times.

[citre]

Well, for me it may have been that way because I used it everyday! I havent used it in months, but now I want to try it again. I seemed to have lost it though... whoops.

Hello Ananda and others who might be worried that the Monistat is being discountinued.............I was at Walmart yesterday, and it is there at FULL PRICE. So, all I can think of is that store you got the marked downs either are going to quit carrying it or those tubes may have been outdated.

Walmart is still selling theres at Full Price, which is about $6.99.

I use estrogen cream (made for vaginal use) on my face. A lot of older women do. If its safe for the vagina, i know it won't hurt my face. I saw a woman on TV tell a talk show host she used premarin vag cream on her face and it kept her face youthful. people laugh at this but it is excellent and you only have to use a tiny bit. it does require a prescription in the states. (but can be ordered on line without one) if you have a family history of breast cancer I would pass it up or consult with Doctor. women also use progesterone creams on their faces. i find the estrogen is better for mine.
I told my dermatologist abut this and he just smiled, and winked.

I love this as my primer. It makes my make up go on so silky and provides a nice barrier to the sometimes harsh bristles.

Thanks for the reassurance JoAnn! That product is a lifesaver and I'd hate to have to look for an alternative.

Speaking of alternatives, Avon has come up with an exact dupe of Monistat. It's called Simply Delicate Soothing Anti-Chafing Gel. It contains all the ingredients that Monistat contains with the addition of fragrance and plant extracts. I could do without the fragrance and plant extracts, IMO.

[makeupprincess]

that doesnt even sound right. lol. never tried it and probably never will. some things just need to be kept off the face

I was reading on another makeup board that this works as a great foundation primer for a lot of ladies, so I was wondering if any of you ladies have ever used this. If so, what did you think?

[sat-chit-ananda]

never tried it and probably never will. some things just need to be kept off the face

Actually, that was exactly what I was thinking when I saw Smashbox Photo Finish primer's long ingredient list which is chockful of preservatives, fragrance and other unnecessary minor ingredients. I wouldn't want that on my face! LOL!!!

[norfolkchica]

Ok ladies I just now tried this out I must say I absolutly love love love it I dont think I could stress this enough haha thanks for the tip, I just applied it over my moisturizer and had to put it down after applying it! I just wanted to keep using more and more lol. As far as the clearance convo, I got mine tonight at Wal-Mart and it was full priced like JoAnn seen I doubt with all of the raves about it (even for its actual use lol) that they would discontinue it... hopefully they never change it... maybe the packaging but not the product itself.

I used it on my partner after being looked at crazy, and I got a agreement that it is good and made a silky finish Yay no more crazy looks for me now Ok I am just going on and on so I am done lol

[jasmineluv]

I've never used a face primer before. I have combo skin with really dry areas. Would a face primer be good to use on combo skin? If so do I still use moisturizer?

[etoile*star]

I've heard of this--I'm so glad to hear these positive reviews! far cheaper than the Smashbox I've been using!

[AprilRayne]

I think the one that was discontinuted was the scented version that was in the light green tube! At least at my Wal-Mart it was, but the regular unscented version in the blue tube is still full price on the shelf! I think we're safe ladies! LOL

I got my sample a few weeks ago and it's so cute, IDK how to explain it. Anyway, I had like 30 minutes to do my makeup before leaving for work today and I did the usual... moisturizer then foundation, but it was too dry and making me helpless with all the concealing I had to do. So I scrubed it all off and skipped the moisturizer and used the last of my sample.

My makeup turned out really nice for a change, and the concealer wasn't all nasty like before. I didn't even need to put on as much.

I would be willing to bet this idea came about by somebody who tried it for their chafing, and thought it felt like their Smashbox primer. My first thought when I tried it (for chafing) was just that, and like others have said, if it is gentle enough for my most sensitive areas, it should be fine on my face! And hey, if supermodels are willing to put Preparation H on their faces, why not this?
