NIX Permethrin Lice Treatment Family Pack 2x2 ounce bottles

I didn't use it for lice. I have rosacea. I put it under my foundation and it keeps the redness at bay. Much cheaper than prescription topical for rosacea.

All of us (4 family members) were simply swarming with lice. I'd never had lice before - the discomfort is extraordinary. This product comes with two bottles and you need a full bottle per person. For some reason that info isn't on the box, but there you go. So we got two packs. After the first application the dead lice were dropping off us in a fine sprinkle all over the damn towels. Gross. But it does work. Using the nit comb THOROUGHLY is strong recommended. I must have pulled a tablespoon of dead or dying lice off each of our heads. But some were left alive and two days later we were all still savagely itchy. The infestation was bad and the label says this product kills the majority of eggs, but not all. So it was probably the newly hatched eggs beginning to feed. 4 days after first application we had to treat again. Combed out maybe 1/8 tsp of dead lice off each of us this time. That's still plenty. ALWAYS treat again to kill remaining eggs when you use permethrin. We followed up with yet a third application 4 days after the second. Combed out not much of anything the last time. Be realistic. Lice are not easy to kill. A triple treatment worked for us - make sure you are persistent. A good product when used properly. Poor results if you don't follow properly the instructions on the box.

My bonus daughters came home with us for a summer visit. Their mother failed to inform us that their hair was INFESTED with lice, nits, and eggs. I ordered a few boxes of these and sat down a few days apart did two treatments and pulled out a whole colony, there were so many that I feel like they owe me rent! But they are dead and gone. Smells like insecticides, but we are trying to kill an insect, so makes sense.

Unfortunately, we needed to buy this as our kids had lice. Used Rid the first time and it's recommended to use a different medication for the 2nd treatment, same breakout. Price was okay and it was nice to have another bottle in case we had to retreat another kid. I don't like the combs that come with this or most lice shampoos. They work fine for the initial combing where there might be quite a few nits and lice, but for subsequent combings, I had better luck with a fine tooth rat tail comb that had a handle. The best back-up to getting rid of lice is combing and checking every night for at least 2 weeks and maybe longer. The medicines will only kill the live ones, not the eggs so any hatchlings after a shampoo will still be there and need to be identified and pulled out or they will lay more eggs. I don't believe that we had issues with resistance here. We also took all other recommended measure for lice prevention and removal and have not had subsequent lice breakouts since the initial one.

This actually kills lice and nits. Good lice killing shampoo. I would recommend this product
