Sweet Relief Silver™ Skin Rescue Cream is a gentle, non-steroid cream enriched with silver ions, specially formulated for skin that has been rubbed or scraped, resulting in bald patches or minor abrasions. It is also widely used as a regular midge barrier for more sensitive areas such as the face, teats and sheath.
It can also be used on skin where excess keratin has led to hardened patches.
Always patch test before using extensively. Spread a thin layer on target areas and massage in by hand, twice a day. If the target area is moist, apply a drying powder first (such as our Flowers & Zinc) to absorb moisture and help the cream adhere. Once any dry or crusty patches have been resolved, Sweet Relief Cream or Lotion are suitable for maintaining healthy, intact skin.
Q: When should I use Sweet Relief Silver™ Cream rather than Sweet Relief® Cream?
A: Sweet Relief Silver™ is the mildest cream in the range and is suitable for use on stressed skin - including minor wounds, abrasions and rubbed patches. Sweet Relief® Cream is stronger and better suited to intact skin with more established itching or rubbing.
Q: How often should I apply Sweet Relief Silver™ Cream?
A: We recommend applying to target areas once or twice a day, gently massaging in with fingers.
Q: What if the target area is wet or moist?
A: If the skin is wet or moist, we recommend applying a drying powder first - such as our Flowers & Zinc - to absorb the moisture and help the cream adhere to the skin.
Q: How quickly will I see results?
A: With daily application, skin can look visibly transformed within 5–7 days.
Q: Can I use Sweet Relief Silver™ Cream on the face?
A: Yes - it is gentle enough for use on sensitive areas including the face, teats and sheath.
Q: Can I use Sweet Relief Silver™ Cream as a midge barrier?
A: On sensitive skin, yes, but most horses require a stronger product (green label Sweet Relief Cream or Lotion) on mane and tail.
Q: Is Sweet Relief Silver™ Cream safe for competition horses?
A: Yes - the product is FEI legal.
Q: Is Sweet Relief Silver™ Cream vegan and cruelty-free?
A: Yes - all Biteback products are plant-based, vegan, cruelty-free and environmentally kind.
Q: Does Sweet Relief Silver™ Cream contain any perfumes or parabens?
A: No - it contains no perfumes, parabens, silicones or other unnecessary ingredients, making it highly unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.
Q: Can I use Sweet Relief Silver™ Cream in the sun?
A: Avoid applying in the full heat of a summer's day as the cream contains some oils, so there is a small sunburn risk. Consider applying early or late in the day, or using Sweet Sun Relief cream instead.

"My 3 year old pony has developed a sudden allergy which resulted in her destroying her mane, tail and large areas of her face. Within 2 days of using this the scabs were gone and she was much happier. I had originally ordered the trial size however within 48 hours I was back online ordering the large tub. I will never be without it now!"

"I have used this on my very sensitive mare all summer and her skin is the best it's been in years. I use it on her face and between her legs and on any sore places. I used it daily and in conjunction with Biteback fly spray and gel. I decided to spend on prevention and it worked"

"I have been using Biteback sweet itch lotion for several years now and have recommended it to my yard colleagues. Unlike other Benzyl Benzoate products it doesn't clog on application. I have also discussed them with my vet who also uses them."

"One application of this cream has stopped my Welshy from scratching the sides of her face. She had rubbed patches of fur off and looked awful. Brilliant product!"
— Fiona W. (5/5)
"My mare had rubbed her face so much she had bare, sore patches on it. I popped this on the areas and within a couple of days they looked much better and she didn't scratch when coming in the next morning either. Really gentle formula and the cream spreads well. A little goes a long way."
— Kerry F. (5/5)
"Great product for manes/tails during summer months when need extra help to prevent itching. Highly recommend"
— Janice L. (4/5)
"My horse is one of those who would choose to have an expensive vet visit instead of a simple cream treatment, so I really didn't think Sweet Relief Silver cream would work. But I can absolutely say it does! See the photos attached."
— Beverley S. (5/5)
"I had been using flamazine from the vets but bought this as a more affordable option. It’s amazing stuff, it’s thick, applies great and stays put!"
