If you’ve got skin tags you want to get rid of, you’ve probably stumbled upon Tag Away as a possible fix. You might have even seen it advertised on TV, which makes it one of the only remedies for skin tags that has a television promo. But can an essential oil like this really work on removing skin tags, even if it does take 3 to 8 weeks?
Overview
Skin tags are known to pop up just about anywhere on the body, and are benign and nothing to worry about. Because of this they can be left alone, but if they are in a place that is easily noticeable, you probably don’t want to keep them around. Some people say you can just “grip ‘em and rip ‘em” but this is not the preferred method of removal. If you go to the dermatologist they are probably going to burn them off, freeze them off, or cut them off. This is why rubbing an oil on them daily for a few weeks sounds like a better option.
The Claim
Tag Away says that it is all-natural and homeopathic, and that it won’t leave a scar behind. They say it’s painless, and doesn’t contain any chemicals. They claim it works on all types of skin, and your skin tag just dries up and falls off in time. They say the timeline for this is 3-8 weeks, and that they won’t grow back once they’re removed. They also say that the results are guaranteed, and that you can return it for a refund if you aren’t satisfied.
The Hype
Skin tags are a pretty common affliction, and many people are keen to get rid of theirs. Since going to the dermatologist for something as innocuous as a skin tag seems a little excessive, most people want an at-home remedy that they can use in the comfort and privacy of their home, that doesn’t produce a scar, doesn’t hurt, and doesn’t cost a small fortune. This seems to be hitting all of those targets and so it’s going to get a lot of interested parties inquiring about it.
The Cost
Tag Away is $30 delivered to your door and gets you two bottles of it. The thing about skin tags is that if you’ve got one, you’ve probably got another one, and they can keep popping up as you go through life. Keeping a supply of this on hand is a good way to vanquish them as they occur so you don’t have to bother with them again and again. When you compare this cost to getting them taken off by a doctor, it’s not very bad at all. A lot of health insurance policies won’t cover this, claiming that it’s just a cosmetic procedure.
The Commitment
Applying this daily for 3 to 8 weeks seems like a pretty long time for something as small as a skin tag. Since this is an outpatient procedure at your local dermatologist, you could have your skin tags removed in an hour or less. So you definitely have to commit to using this, and not missing any applications, following the included directions to the letter. The trade off is that you don’t have to go to the doctor and you don’t have to pay their prices for such a simple procedure.
Evaluation
We like that Tag Away is painless, and involves slowly removing it so it doesn’t leave a scar behind. It wouldn’t make much sense if you removed it only to have a scar left behind that is just as visible, or maybe even more noticeable. Since skin tags don’t usually grow back in the same place you can usually get this solved the first time and once and for all. There’s really no way to prevent yourself from getting new ones in other places, and if you’ve got one that means you’re prone to getting them. It’s good to have a system in place for new ones as they develop.
Final Tag Away Review
Tag Away is getting our Solid Try rating, because frankly there aren’t a lot of better alternatives out there that are doing as good of a job. If you’ve resolved yourself to taking care of this on your own you only have so many ways to go about it, and using an oil of this nature is a great option that should fit all of your criteria. Just be sure to use it long enough to get the desired results.
Our Recommendation
It’s not a bad price for something like this and it’s better to go with an established company that is offering a guarantee than a shady company that isn’t. There are a lot of different wart removal products and skin tag products out there, but they are offered by companies that you wouldn’t want to give your credit card info to.

UPDATE: While the effectiveness of Tag Away may be in question, Dermatend has been a proven, highly recommended skin tag remover for years.
What do you think? Does Tag Away work or not?

I actually like the fact that this takes up to 8 weeks to remove the skin tags. I don’t really want to use any chemical to remove them and I will not pay hundreds, if not thousands just to remove them at a hospital. I have few skin tags under the armpit and I desperately want them off and I’m willing to apply this for up to 8 weeks if it’s done with natural ingredients.
I think I may give this a try. Although, the “30 Day Money Back Guarantee” is kind of a crock since the 30 day period probably starts the day you order it, and then you have to use it for 3-8 weeks to even know if it works! If they are really confident that this product works, then they should at least offer a 60 day period! I’ve even seen a few commercials lately where the company offers a guarantee that includes refunding the shipping cost & even the cost of shipping it back! Now that’s a guarantee that shows they stand behind their product!!
BECAREFUL when ordering…they tag on a bunch of upgrades and if you are ordering on an ipad or iphone, its easy to click yes when you want no. There is no order confirmation page, so you are stuck as soon as you click yes. I did this by accident, and emailed them immediately. They responded 5 days later and said it was too late, they couldn’t cancel my order. I WILL exercise the 30 day money back guarantee and only be out $10 for p&h. But what a crock. The website is sketchy and so is the company.
I put something like oragel on my skin tags to deaden the area then I use good toe nail clippers and remove them. YOU CAN CAN CAN prevent skin tags by eating less sugar. Sugar does cause skin tags. I thought my demotologist was crazy but she was right. ALSO if you get skin tags on your neck or if a woman under your breast. Putting baby powder or deodorant on those areas DAILY will prevent many of the tags. Less sugar and less friction = less or no skin tags. Putting deodorant on your neck daily will also GET RID of some smaller skin tags.
this isn’t true at all the armpits are the most common area for tags and we all use deodorant in this area every day which contains talc or baby powder as a base for drying properties.
I wish I could leave a review that states rather or not the product works.
For that to happen … I would have to actually receive the order I placed WEEKS ago.
I have rec’d unsolicited phone calls in the middle of business meetings trying to sell me more/additional products – the funds have been deducted from my bank account – BUT I have yet to receive my order.
I emailed customer service twice. No reply.
Finally called today. Phone agent was polite – but would only say “it should ship soon”.
No idea if this product successfully removes skin tags…but the organization has successfully removed the funds from my acccount.
So has anyone tried it yet, and gotten rid of a tag yet?
I hate. To know that I placed an order, changed my mind , and there is no way I can return the product.
The paper that was in the box did not have a return address.
Can I get an address to return the product, haven’t used it
Been swabbing this stuff on all of my tags several times a day for the past month. Not one of the tags seems to be even irritated by Tag A Way let alone ready to fall off…WTF! Rip Off Advisory!
Don’t think this stuff will work..its been out a while and all I see on the web is either, the web sight took my money and added bunch of extras and won’t give me my money back, or I ordered it and didn’t get it, or I got it and it didn’t work after weeks of application…sounds like a scam…try tying them tight with a thread and keep applying something like oil of oregano or something that has antiseptic property’s to keep it from getting infected till it dies and falls off..takes about a week or two..they turn black and fall off..did like 6 all ready like that…but if you dont keep it clean and covered in antiseptic youll be sorry…try it at your own risk….
has anyone tried it yet and had any conclusive results either positive or negative?
I have been using this product for about 4 weeks now. I see no change in my skin tags.
I have been using tag away for more than 2 months now. Not only did it NOT work, it made my skin tags swell up. I followed the instructions precisely. The results are terrible. I would like to return the product, but can find no way to do this. There are no return instructions on the invoice. It is impossible to get a live operator when I call the number. And the robot that answers the phone only wants to sell more product. There is no return option. And the robot knows my name, my address, and remembers my credit card number. Don’t buy this stuff. It’s a rip off.
I have been using the product for about 3 weeks. I see no results. The smell of the tag away is so strong I can hardly stand it. I have been using it faithfully despite the odor but so far I am very disappointed with the results.
Dermatend works GREAT. Removed 5 skin tags and they are completely gone. Very small marks where they were, but fading away. However, this method, no matter what they say is FAR FROM PAINLESS. Read the active ingredient and google its effects. It is basically an acid burning your skin. If you get it on any of the skin surrounding the tag, it burns like hell, and leaves a mark that looks like you burnt your skin somewhat severely. Luckily the mark faded. Overall very pleased with the results, just do a better job of putting it on than I did
Have been using tag-away for 2 months now and like so many others have not noticed one bit of improvement. Not a hint of any of the tags, small or large, fading away. Like so many others, my warning to anyone out there is not to order any products advertised on T.V. unless there is a guaranteed way of returning it if not satisfied. Perhaps it does work of some people but from what I’ve read most do not see any results.
I have seen this on TV, and I do have several skin tags. I have gotten rid of a few of them using other methods, but have been thinking about this. I figured that this was complete hokum but and still undecided. Simple question — does this stuff work, and is it more effective on certain parts of the body (some of mine are on the inner thigh for instance)? What else works, and any ideas?
This product does nothing. It is a complete scam. I ended up cutting my off with an exacto knife. No scars but was painful. Do not waste your time and money.
I just bought Tag Away at Walgreens Pharmacy for about $15 and put on my first application just now. *crossing my fingers!*
What a JOKE! This product does not work. A total waste of time and money.
Like many others, I’ve been using Tag Away for 4 weeks now and see NO indication that my skin tags are doing anything. I was skeptical from the beginning when I would apply the ointment under my arms and then immediately have to put a shirt on (except when going to bed). I felt like whatever I just rubbed on the skin tags was being removed by the cloth of my shirt. Additionally, in the morning, after putting on the ointment, I would spray my antiperspirant under my arms, which also made me feel that that defeated the purpose. I mean antiperspirant is made to eliminate moisture………….and moistening up the skin tags right before spraying on antiperspirant seemed to be very counterproductive. Oh well, will keep using Tag Away until it all gone and then?……………..probably schedule a doctor’s appointment to have them removed.
For those who want to return a product and have difficulty because of poor assistance from the seller, tell your credit card agent to put a hold on the payment to the seller…and explain that there was a 30 day guarantee on the product but you can’t return it because seller hasn’t provided a way to do it.
Just wanted to thank you all for leaving comments. I was really wanting to buy this & now I’ll just move along….
I ordered skin tag last month. it was very difficult and seemed shady but I was desperate. Took about 3 weeks to recieve it, but its hear now and I’ve been using it almost two weeks, and I see NO difference, it has maybe lightened a hair but that’s it.. I only have one and its small but right there and annoying. Ill comment on my 8th week hopefully by then ill be tag free. or I want my $$$
I bought this product directly in the As seen on TV store in the maill for about $19.99 the first week of December 2012, so I have been applying this smelly liquid on my neck 3 times a day… and NO change. I took a picture of the main skin tag that I want out and 2 months later it still looks the same. This was time and money Wasted…dont bother.
This is B.S. !!!!!
Thanks so much for everyone posting their results on wether or not Tag Away works, or in this case, DOESN’T work. I actually gave serious thought about buying it. After reading all of these reviews about nobody having any actual success with it, I am no longer even considering it. Thanks everyone.
Sorry, to tell you…. But I used your Tag Away product for 8 weeks and nothing happened. All my tags still look the same as 2 month ago. It’s was a waist of my money and my time. I definitely going to wright the truth about this product, so other people wouldn’t waist there money. Tag away was big disappointment for me, because I had a big hope that it will help (since web site sad 100% guarantee). TAG AWAY IT’S A BIG SCAM !!!!
Just purchase ….we’ll see in 8 weeks
Works great u guys must have some tough ass skin to be using it for that long and it ain’t work. Try the dermatologist
Wasted my money as well! Don’t waste your money on this crap! Instructions are to ‘ apply 3 times daily’ which is , at most times, not convenient and the smell reminds me of Deer Urine , used to hunt bucks. I tried for 6 weeks, as recommended , and nothing happened. Please don’t waste your money on this worthless junk! Just another ‘snake oil’ salesman!
DW
I tried it without having any problems and an more than happy that i purchased!
Thank you all for your comments about Tag Away. I too was just about to order it but have definitely changed my mind. Imagine charging $10 for shipping two little bottles? Yes, obviously a scam and the fellow that mentioned it smelling like Deer pee was probably correct. Perhaps the seller(s) did indeed mix deer pee with some sort of lotion or whatever and bottled it. They must have had a big laugh knowing what the product was and raking in the money. “Let the buyer beware.”
I purchased this product about 4 weeks ago and wow I am so happy to say It fell off!!! I was very faithfull and didnt miss a beat. I put the stuff on 3 times a day and if I sweat or it came off I re- applied it so maybe that will help. I am still putting it on a larger tag and It has yet to fall off but I will update as soon as it does. Thanks for a great product. Very happy customer and would recomend if you are going to keep this on and keep up with it!!
If you want to try it a bit cheaper I got the product at walgreens for 14.99.
I have been using Tag Away for almost 2 weeks now. I see no change with my tags. The smell is very strong though. I get a big headache. But my tags are still here… HELP ME! I recommend people to not buy this. It does not work at all!
This stuff may not work for many but, the $30. worked well for them.
This stuff not only doesn’t work, it stinks (literally) to high hell! Cannot possibly wear it everyday around other people. The smell gave me headaches. The “secret chemical” they called by the scientific name, is only tea tree oil. You can buy it at any GNC or other herb stores online.
Hey guys
I got Tag Away around a week ago, I’ve been using it 3 or more times a day since then, and when I apply it, I apply it 2 times each time I do it. But as of couple days now I got frustrated and decided it didn’t work except only make the tag bigger, so I decides to cut. Broke a blade from a shark shaver and tried to cut it. Because the tag is in a VERY sensitive area of my body, I couldn’t cut it away. Even though it was somewhat cut from the bottom of the tag, I kept applying the Tag Away. Still kept trying to cut it away. After a day I applied the Tag Away in the aftermath of cutting it, i noticed it turn a little black. Now, its totally black. And i read a post from somewhere else that a person put a bandage of the tag after applying it, their tag got darker and darker, and eventually falling off. So basically it started working after i cut it a little bit and putting band-aid on it. Probably something to due with moisture like someone said from these posts.
So, PUT BAND-AID on the tag after you apply the TagAway.
WAIT, be patient. And hope.
If hopelesss, cut the very bottom of the tag, not all the way if undesired, THEN apply TagAway, and the put BAND-AID on it.
just wanted to share info. Remember, even blocks on the road can be for the best.
