Customer Reviews
I was able to get rid of my plantar wart in just a few weeks. The stick is super easy to apply, and it’s mess-free. I’ve tried other treatments, but WartStick was by far the most effective and convenient.
I bought this for my daughter who had a wart on her finger. It was gentle, painless, and didn’t have any harsh smells. Within a couple of weeks, the wart was gone, and she didn’t mind using it every day.
This product is a game changer! The 40% salicylic acid formula really works, and I love that it doesn’t have a strong odor. I’ve used it on a few warts, and they’ve all disappeared after consistent application.
I’ve been using WartStick for years, and it’s always been effective. The solid stick design makes it easy to target the wart, and it stays in place without any drips or mess. Highly recommend!
