Comment from: TooMuchSun2, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: September 09

I found that putting burn gel on affected area works better than any other remedies for sunburn. Water-Jel burn gel worked best for relieving pain of sun burn and start healing process. Active ingredient is 2 percent lidocaine hydrochloride.
