Is Sarna oily or greasy, or does it leave your skin oily or greasy?

I don' find Sarna particularly greasy or oily. When you first put it on, it will definitely feel like you have put lotion on your skin...so a bit "wet" and "slick" but it doesn't take but a minute for it to absorb in your skin. After that, your skin will feel "cool" (which is the best term I can think of for description). I have a rather large area on my back that is VERY itchy off and on during the day/night. I tried prescription and OTC creams with small amounts of steroids. These provided temporary relief, but since my condition is chronic and will not go away, I really didn't want to keep on using any amount of steroids indefinitely. My dermatologist suggested Sarna, and I have found it provides just as much, if not more, relief and there are no steriods involved. It is very soothing and calming to the area. It contains 0.5% Camphor and 0.5% Menthol and can be a pretty strong scent when you first apply it, sort of like the way Vicks Vapor Rub smells. But I don't mind the smell at all and it dissapates very quickly. Sarna alleviates the itching and keeps the area calm for me for most of the day/night. And because there are not steriods, it can ve applied 3 to 4 times a day. I am so glad my dermatologist recommended this to me! I hope it gives you the same relief.
