Price
While there is no option to buy these products from the manufacturer’s website, the user is directed to purchase them at well-known drugstores.
RectiCare Anorectal Cream
- 1 ounce tube for $27.44.
- Package of six tube for $151.23.

It is very difficult to find these products sold separately. Many reviewers were annoyed that they had to purchase both of them when they only wanted to buy the wipes.
Guarantee
After carefully searching both the manufacturer’s website as well as third-party websites, we have been unable to find mention of a guarantee. This is quite unfortunate as these products are costly. However, there is a form to contact the manufacturer which welcomes both positive and negative feedback.
Conclusion Of Our RectiCare Review
To sum up our RectiCare Review, we are pleased to report that lidocaine, which is found in all the above products, is the active ingredient we look for in external hemorrhoid relief creams. We must also mention the manufacturer’s website. It is extremely user-friendly while providing clear and concise medical information as well as comprehensive details about their products. The only aspect that is lacking is negative reviews from consumers. For those, we turned to Amazon where there were many shared disappointments about this product.
The main complaint is the cost, followed by the lids on the creams which are impossible to open. There is actually a video on the manufacturer’s website explaining how to open it, but it still remains extremely complicated.
We noticed that despite RectiCare’s range of products, there are no supplements for internal healing. While creams and wipes work well to bring instant relief, the relief is not long lasting. Many other products also offer an oral supplement to restore blood flow to the affected area. The combination of a supplement working in conjunction with an external cream or wipe, seems to bring people a complete recovery.
