HayMax Allergen Barrier Balm - Pure 5ml - Organic, Natural & Non-Drowsy Hay Fever & Allergy Relief Balm - Blocks Pollen, Dust & Other Allergen Particles - Suitable for Adults, Kids & Pregnant Women

Really impressed with the effectiveness of this balm. I came across it on here by mistake and very glad that I did. Yes, it is a tiny container but it has mighty effect. I bought the lavender scented which is surprisingly nice and not a fake smell. You only need a tiny amount and having the scented version means that I know that it is there and working. I reckon I would have been tempted to put on far too much with the unscented version. I also happen to have quite long nails so getting them into the jar and not wasting most of it is not easy, much like lip salve containers. I tried just using my knuckle which fits right in and I only get the amount that I need. I have only started to use this but I reckon one pot will last a long time. I put it both on nostrils and eyes which have been streaming every day, to great effect. I do also take anti histamines as well. This is going to be a staple in my house from now on and so grateful I found it.

I have gone on to the Haymax website amd read the information provided there. Reports on the trials which have been carried out show that it is effective but not 100% effective. People involved in the trials gave it scores of between 3.9 and 4 out of a possible 5. This ties in very much with my own experience. It seems logical that rubbing this barrier cream inside the edge of the nostrils will capture any allergens which stick to it and prevent them getting into the nasal passages. However, there are bound to be allergens which don't touch the sides but go straight up the nose. I felt that this cream was not sufficient to use as the only line of defence. If you want total protection you need to use something else as well. I use Woody Knows Nasal Filters as my main line of defence and also use the Haymax as a 2nd level of defence. I find the Haymax makes it easier to insert the filter and makes it more comfortable to wear and, as I have said, it provides some additional protection. It also soothes the nose as the filter can be a little sore when you start using it at first. All in all, this cream is inexpensive and I intend to keep on using it in conjunction with the nasal filters.

I'm not sure why this works better than Vaseline but it does. In theory it should work the same. It's just a barrier after all. It's not wet and greasy in the way Vaseline is so you don't look like you've got a 'wet' nose! Is it a psychological benefit? Putting it under your nose? I don't know and I don't care. All I want is to stop having a runny nose, I rarely take antihistamines now. I use this instead.

This barrier balm is not noticeable when put on round the nose and does what it says (...I think). However, the container is a minute pot with a false bottom so it actually has half the amount you think it does. Vaseline works as well and is far cheaper.

I was a bit sceptical about this cream at first. My boss recommended it actually works. Will definitely be buying more.

Highly recommended for anyone who suffers from hayfever. Very effective, which is surprising if you are used to taking tablets. A little goes a long way. A tub is more than enough for an entire season.

Pollen barrier for hayfever. Very small tub. Has a slight smell but it goes away quick once applied. Is greedy looking so only apply a little bit

I bought this product for my 11 year old step daughter- she suffers horrendously with hayfever- swollen eyes, itchy eyes and throat, constant sneezing... Shes on anti-histamines but for £5 I knew i had to at least give this balm a go- the anti-histamines were taking the edge off- but she was still suffering quite badly. Shes been using this for a few weeks now and she is telling me it's working really well for her- it's not a cure- but it does tone down some of the symptoms. The cream is supposed to catch the pollen before it hits the nose/eyes. Its a Vaseline type texture- scent free and easy enough to apply and doesn't irritate her when she wears it. I'm not sure if this a placebo effect as like I say shes only 11 or if it's really toning down the symptoms- but for her it works and I wouldn't hesitate in buying more.

I've been using Haymax for a few years now, and I recommend it to anyone I know who has allergy problems. As others have said, it's not a 100% cure--I still use over the counter allergy medicine sometimes (generic Zyrtec is my go-to), but I've found it's still pretty effective, especially if you apply it in anticipation of symptoms. Like, sometimes I'll apply it before I go to sleep if I find myself waking up with a stuffy nose or labored breathing. I also apply some prior to house cleaning if I know there's gonna be a lot of dust kicked up in the air. One other instance where I highly recommend using it is on airplanes. I'm guessing the recycled air must be not-so-great, so I often get stuffed up on planes, but using Haymax at the start really helps me not feel crappy through the flight. The only thing I warn people about (which, for me, doesn't negate its benefits) is that: 1) I can smell VERY BAD. When it's brand new, it usually smells ok/not much scent, but I've found that as time goes on (as it usually takes me over a year to use up a pot), it starts smelling weird/bad. I can't really describe it, other than it smells stale/old. I hope this isn't like, bacterial growth because I'm sticking my finger in there. haha sigh. But, I haven't gotten sick or any rashes/pimples using it, so I'm hoping it's just the nature of the ingredients aging. 2) Wearing it at home is no problem, but just be aware that if you wear it out in public, you might look like a weirdo because if you apply a lot (which I like to, for good measure) it'll look like what it is: a balm/gloss under your nose. haha When I use it on a plane, I'm like "whatever" but just a heads up for any super self-conscious people.

Ha llegado muy rapido (menos de una semana). La caja ha llegado algo aplastada pero el producto perfecto. Pequeñito, pero supongo que no se necesita mucho. Aun no lo he probado pero no parece tener un olor fuerte (y no se si funciona)

Es bastante efectivo...tanto para los ojos, como para la nariz. Me lo aplico por la mañana y me ayuda a reducir los sintomas
