having been prone to dry skin and saddle sores for years, I've finally found something cool and soothing that may actually be good for me. Started using this year and great so far. I prefer riding in warmer weather on rides lasting 2 to 4 hours. Stuff holds up well through the entire ride. Glad I found it!

All natural ingredients, soothing and cooling. Ingredients that protect and heal. This stuff works! I used to get pimples that chafed into saddle sores, keeping me off the bike for about a week. Since using this have not had that happen. Right now I alternate to use up other products and still feel protected.

I have been applying DOCS directly to my skin rather than the chamois. The texture seems "lighter' and easier to apply this way than other products I have used. I find that I have as good as or better than post ride reduction of the sensation of having sat on hot sandpaper for hours. I will definitely order this product again. As of now I would rate it a shade better than Button Hole which is my go to creme.

Have tried many...came across this several years ago and it has been my go-to ever since. I always try to keep one in reserve because in the past it has been unavailable anywhere and that's no bueno.

Long lasting comfort and no sore skin. Take my word for it, this is probably the best chamois creme out there.
Review by Rich
There's so many chamois creams out there to choose from but I highly recommend the one from Docs Skincare. The name "Skincare" is exactly how this cream works to combat soreness.
Review by rwitte
Doc's is my favorite chamois cream...by a considerable amount. I'm sure I haven't tried them all, but I've tried many. When you first dig into it, seems like maybe it's not going to be all that great, like it's almost too thin, but then it ends up working longer and better than anything else I've used. The only downside...the stuff can be hard to get sometimes. I try to have a back-up on hand because I've run out before and couldn't find any at all, even direct from Doc's.

I wanted to try something new and this was a nice change to the normal product I use.
Review by Tpalfini
I use a lot of chamois creme in a year. Buy it on sale and works great for medium to long rides.
Review by Peter
This chamois creme is very similar to Assos one as far as consistency and seem to work as well. Was cheaper than Assos cream so if it will prove to work as well will definitely keep using it.
Last about the same - so far tested on few 3-4hr rides and medium 50-65F temperatures.
Like it little better than the Euro chamois cream.
Not sure yet how it works under rainy or really hothumid conditions.
Scent is also very pleasant.

Doc's chamois cream has been my Go To for years now. It has a soft, non-oily texture like whipped cream cheese but even a little lighter than that. It is not over-powering with Tea Tree Oil or menthol (like some others). This chamois cream does it's job without gooping up your shorts. In fact, after a ride there is little "evidence" that as much cream was ever there. And because you get 8 oz. for less money than most products give you 4 oz., you can apply liberally for best results.
Review by DocH
This isn't my favorite chamois cream, but it's less expensive than others and works well for rides up to about 40 miles. It's thinner than most other creams so you may end up using more than some other brands, but even so it still works out cheaper than Assos, DZ Nuts, and Chamois Butt'r.

After trying a number of creams I bought some of this on sale on day. I found I liked how this reduced the discomfort I had been experiencing so much I soon reordered. Doc's seems easier to apply evenly than other creams and is definitely effective in reducing those hot spots on three hour rides.

This is the first real chamois cream I ever tried and don't feel the need to try anything else.
It just works for me, doesn't smell weird, doesn't have some of the major ingredients reputed as bad for your skin (e.g. petrolatum, mineral oil), doesn't stain my cycling clothes.
Even after a 3 to 4 hour super sweaty ride, when I come home and shower, I can feel the chamois cream hasn't been washed away by sweat or degraded into nothingness by the heat and movement.

Been using Doc Chamois Cream for years. Best stuff I have found. I never go on a ride without it. Lasts all day long

This chamois creme has a great consistency- not as thickhard as Betwixt and not as thin as Paceline. It also has a pleasant tea tree oil scent without the unpleasant numbing property of some Euro style blends. I probably marginally prefer Assos, but definitely don't find it worth the much higher cost.
Review by John in Minnesota
I really like this stuff. Great antibacterial properties, feels good and does what it's supposed to. Has just about the same consistency (although slightly less stiff) than the Assos stuff. However, for the same price, you get twice as much.

a nice cooling effect on one's nether parts. Not greasy or clumpy. Lots of natural ingredients like tea oil and what not. I like it.
Review by Hornbeam
I am an older woman. Our bodies change. Nothing we can do about that, but we can keep riding comfortably with Doc's. Not too greasy, lasts a long time, you don't need a lot, and it doesn't smell like a candy cane.
