Frequently Asked Questions About Wart Removers

Q: How does an effective wart remover formula work?

Wart removers tackle the issue of warts in a variety of different ways, but the fundamental aim is to get rid of the wart as quickly as possible while preventing further spread as well as leaving a scar-free surface. There are many products out there that address only one aspect of wart removal which results in the warts having already spread and also leaves scarring. Specific key ingredients have been shown to significantly make a positive difference and clinical trials provide data to support these claims. One such ingredient is Salicylic acid at 17% strength. This notable ingredient is one of the most commonly used to get rid of warts as it removes the outermost layer of skin with each application. Other essential ingredients include Tea Tree oil, D-Limonene citrus oil and Frankincense to help kill the bacteria of the virus and fight inflammation.

The correct formula holds the key to success so look for something that contains ingredients backed by scientific data that work to provide a complete-care solution for getting rid of warts. The formula should not just be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research for optimum results. 

Q: Do all wart remover formulas work?

Unfortunately, this is not always the case. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health trends formulating products that contain incorrect ingredients and wrong potency or amounts. Often, they even add unnecessary inactive ingredients or cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings and preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients. Do your homework and check the labels to make sure you are using a quality product and not just some watered down formula. 

Q: What are the important points to look out for?

• It should contain Salicylic acid at 17% strength.
• It should contain Tea Tree oil to help kill off bacteria and viruses.
• It should contain D-Limonene citrus oil to help fight inflammation.
• It should contain Frankincense for its wound-healing properties.
• It should contain other clinically-proven ingredients such as Ethanol and Oregano oil for disinfectant and antiviral benefits.
• It should not contain any binders, fillers, additives, hormones, preservatives or artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure, natural and with no unnecessary ingredients that could reduce the effectiveness of the product.
• It should be formulated using the same potency as found effective in clinical studies.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many natural ingredients and products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any topical product, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition or taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for wart removers?

Again, this differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Generally, we found that most products suggest applying the oil or cream once or twice a day. It is preferable to wash or soak the wart for a few minutes beforehand.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects within as little as a week. Whilst, for others, it can take longer. Everybody is different. There were many manufacturers that offered refunds should you not get the results that you are looking for. Such a guarantee shows the manufacturer’s confidence in its products and the results they predict you will achieve.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good wart remover?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless products that have been formulated without any science-based evidence behind them. Some of these companies are selling their products for over $100 per bottle, which is much too expensive. On average, the best products we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Often, when products appear cheaper, this is indicative of low quality or a low recommended daily serving, which will not bring the results you are looking for. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which wart remover is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like WartAid by Approved Science. We found that from the 50+ products that we analyzed, WartAid had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, consumer feedback and the manufacturer’s customer service.

Of course, it is ultimately your choice. We hope that our research has gone some way in helping you make your choice. If you are looking for a well-researched product that brings effective results, we think that you can’t go far wrong with WartAid. It is an excellent quality product, with great reviews and is well priced.
