February  2008

  To My Valued Customer;

      My name is Elizabeth Wamhoff and I am the owner of Great Scott Medicated Skin Care Products as of January 2003.  I have worked with Great Scott for the past six years and I am continuing to follow Gerry Roesbery’s original formulation for Great Scott Medicated Skin Care Products (she passed away in 1995).

     We have now changed the labels to the 1960's look.  The Scotsman.  It gives the product a sense of stability and nostalgia.  We really hope you like the new look.  The squared-off jar will now replace the rounded jar.  We think it looks fabulous. Also, the amount of product in the jar is 5 ounces not 4 ounces.  We have always put in 5 ounces, so now we are claiming it on the jar.  Our pricing has changed... The products are now $14.98 for the cream or lotion. Also, shipping is included in all our total order pricing.    1-208-375-4949.  The wholesale prices also increased... Sorry.

We have now added streaming video.  You should click on the link and watch the videos:

   I personally would love to thank Great Scott’s customers for their continued support, over 43 years dating back to April of 1964!  I feel an awesome responsibility to my customers, and especially to Gerry Roesbery to continue to produce a quality medicated skin care product at fair prices. It is my customers that remind me, “GREAT SCOTT,….IT REALLY WORKS!!   Thank you!!!  And have a great 2008.
Best regards!        
Elizabeth
 

HOW TO PREVENT CHAPPED SKIN...

First we need to define chapped hands or any chapped skin disorder you may have. 'Chapped' is a catch-all word for many skin disorders. It may include varying degrees of severity of any one or more of the following medical diseases: eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, dermatitis. It may appear as dry flaky skin, redness, rashes, mild swelling, small and large cracks. It is often accompanied by itching, irritation, sensitivity or mild pain to severe pain. Persistent symptoms should be examined by your medical doctor.

PREVENTION:

*Dry your hands completely after washing them.
*Protect your hands from harsh chemicals.
*Wear gloves when outside during extreme weather conditions.
*Use medicated skin care products such as GREAT SCOTT.
*Use a medicated moisturizing body cream throughout the day and a medicated skin cream at bed time. *Some people report that wearing clean soft cotton gloves after the application of the cream really helps speed up the healing process at bedtime.

 We do not add fragrance / scent or color.

QUESTION # 1: Why does my jar of skin cream look different than previous jars? Didn't it used to be a blue-green color?

ANSWER # 1: After extensive interviews and research we, GREAT SCOTT  Research Department, determined that to really reach into the 21st century we must realize and do what the customer, you, wants. It was discovered that no added fragrance/scent or colors should be added and that we should add two very helpful natural ingredient...Vitamin E.  Also, our body lotion seems to drift in color from an off white to a strong off-white/gray or even brownish...There is nothing wrong with the product, it is simply a result of using  natural ingredients.  Also, as with any medicated product, keep the products away from excessive heat.  The heat can degrade the medicated ingredients as well as cause separation.

QUESTION # 2: Why are jars and labels a different color?

ANSWER # 2: We have made some changes for the better. We no longer make products with added fragrance / scent or added artificial colors . As a result, label changes had to be made. The following changes should help you understand the whole picture:

The 4 oz. black jar is now replaced with a white jar. It is now 5 ounces not 4.  This white jar now contains the original unscented skin cream, not the skin cream with added fragrance /scent. We have also removed the 'added colors' to make GREAT SCOTT products safer for your skin.

The 8 oz. bottle will receive a label change, from black to white and the product, the 'moisturizing skin cream' is now changed to 'medicated skin cream' (with no added fragrance / scent).

QUESTION # 3: My skin stings when I use GREAT SCOTT Cream or Lotion...Why does it sting and what should I do?

ANSWER # 3: Many creams and lotions that are intended to heal or cure skin problems will sting...This is because the damaged raw, tender nerve endings are being disturbed.  You may have also noticed that even mild soap and water irritate/sting your skin.  If the mild stinging is bearable, then continue to use the GREAT SCOTT products.  BUT,  if the stinging persists or redness or irritation occurs, then discontinue using the products.  Try them again in a few weeks.

QUESTION #4:  I would like to buy these products for my store to resale.  Do you have wholesale prices and credit terms?

ANSWER #4:  We recognize the resale market and offer to qualified buyers a professional discount.  We also private label.  Please call or email for more information.

For over 40 years, GREAT SCOTT has been tested and retested for effectiveness. Most of these tests are not performed clinically.  The ongoing testing by customers attests that the active ingredients in GREAT SCOTT are extremely effective.

Our products are for mild to medium intensity skin problems.  Sometimes only prescription drugs from your doctor will actually correct the problem.

There were a few cases where we were not effective...The test patients had to be examined by AMA doctors and then given a prescription to very strong medicine...medicine that a person does not use on a regular basis.

These GREAT SCOTT products are not prescription drugs, but rather highly effective medicated  topical application products. They certainly are not a 'cure-all', and should be used judiciously.

GREAT SCOTT has had many uses throughout the years. Here are some of the many medical conditions that Great Scott heals, as reported by satisfied customers:

GREAT SCOTT Medicated Skin Cream has been used with: Chapped Hands, Heels, Elbows, Knees, Cracked Skin, Chapped Lips, Scaling Skin, Dry Skin, Allergy Rashes, Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea, Hemorrhoids, Diaper Rash, Contact Dermatitis, Jock Itch, Jungle Fungus, Athletes Foot, Liver Spots, Heat Rash, Sunburn, Windburn, Minor Burns, Insect Bites, Mosquito Bites, Bed Sores, Sheet Burn, Minor Cuts, Scrapes, Abrasions, Scars...Helps with Cuticle Softening and Facial Wrinkles...Used Safely on diabetic's skin...Shaving and After-Shave Cream...
