Best Burn Gels of 2025

"This product provides immediate relief and acts very quickly. It contains a high concentration of lidocaine, so avoid putting your fingers in your mouth after applying it. I had a severe chemical burn from bleach on my hands that took months to heal until I started using this. It's an excellent pain reliever, especially for children. Accidents do happen, and it's definitely useful to have this product on hand when they do."

"Last Saturday, I accidentally spilled a whole bowl of boiling water on my hand and arm. The pain was intense. I spent the first night sleeping with my arm in a bucket of ice water, and the pain persisted into the second day. Then the itching began, which was almost as bad as the burn itself. I bought a few products from CVS, but they didn't alleviate the itch. I was desperate and had to sleep with a cold compress wrapped around my hand and arm. I bought this product and it worked wonders. It significantly reduced the redness and essentially eliminated the itch. I'm very impressed with this product."

"I used this product on a finger that had blistered from contact with hot grease, and the relief was immediate. The gel cools the area and is thick enough to stay on while the lidocaine numbs the pain. It aided in the healing process and, despite the severity of the burn, there's no scar."

"You can easily carry a few in your pocket or purse for immediate use when your first aid kit isn't readily available. If the burn isn't very small, you'll need more than one pack, but carrying a few packets is easy. This product is a good middle ground between a first aid kit burn gel squeeze bottle and a larger packet, which could be useful on a long hike, for example."

"I first came across this product in a medical kit. It's the fastest-acting burn cream I've ever used. I plan to stock up on it when I can. I work in a kitchen where burns are common, and I'd much prefer to have this product on hand than any others."

"This burn gel is an excellent product! It offers good value when bought in bulk, as the total cost of the packets in this item is comparable to normal household-sized tubes containing the same total amount of product. It performs as expected for burn gel, and the small packets make it easy to take some with you or keep some in an emergency bag or first aid kit. One of the best aspects of using the packets is that there's no open tube, so you won't have excess medication collecting in the tube closure's screw threads, and messes and waste from dispensing too much product from a tube are virtually eliminated."

"I often burn myself while cooking. Applying this product immediately stops the burn and prevents blisters. I reapply it a few times. A friend of mine once grabbed a hot iron pot out of the oven and got a severe burn. She used this product and didn't get any blisters, and she was completely healed within a few days."

"WaterGel products are the best for burns. I keep my bottle in the fridge. Whenever I or someone helping me in the kitchen gets a cooking or baking burn, I immediately apply a drop of this cooling burn gel. It instantly stops the burning sensation and prevents the burn from reaching deeper layers of skin."

"I occasionally burn my hands on hot metal from welding or using a plasma cutter, and I've had burns on my hands from other incidents over the years. I have a variety of burn care products, but Water Jel is the only one that consistently works. It's a godsend when needed."

"I took these on my recent vacation and I'm so glad I did. My daughter burned her finger at a buffet line. I applied this to her burn after cooling it with water. She said it helped alleviate the pain. Each packet has enough for two or three days if you're only treating a small wound. I reapplied it to her finger about 3-4 times a day and within three days, it was mostly healed and pain-free. It's good to have at home or on the go. The small packets make it easy to include in any first aid kit, even a small one the size of an Altoids tin."

"It's already helped a coworker who burned his arm on a heat rack find relief. I love the small packets. Every restaurant needs a pack of these. I often burn myself and it's no fun dealing with the pain of a second-degree burn when you still have 5-6 hours left in your shift…"

"The EverOne Emergency Burncare Burn Gel is soothing and gentle on the skin for minor burns, small irritations, bug bites, and other minor skin injuries. It doesn't have many ingredients, but the tea tree oil in it is quite mild and doesn't have the strong scent that most other tea tree oil products do. It feels slightly cooling and protective on the skin. Each packet contains enough to cover a surprisingly large area of skin. While it won't significantly alleviate the pain of severe burns, it does aid in the healing process and provides a protective barrier for your skin while you tend to your burn. It's a must-have for your first aid kit!"
