I'm off to Australia in 6 weeks and currently I'm struggling to get rid of the ring outline where I've removed a cannula ... any tips?? :(
 
Alcohol wipes I use to breakdown the adhesive left by my dexcom after 2+ weeks. I usually use a few! Tough stuff!
 
Alcohol wipes, a good scrub with a shower buffer thing, a bit of a rub with some facial exfoliater will get the last of the adhesive off, but maybe don't do that immediately after taking the cannula out!
 
Not tried it but wonder if baby oil would also work @DiabeticPanda

Either way have a great holiday in Australia, very envious :)
 
I used babyoil once but neve again because the oil residue left on the skin, made infusion sets not stick very well so had to use an alcohol wipe to clean the area
